Ritual to Release Pain

I love this ritual. I love standing out in the rain and letting it wash over me anyways but in conjunction with this chant it seems a wonderful way to let the rain wash away the pain. I like to be as close to naked as possible when standing in the rain, that way you are getting the closest contact with the rain and the elements as possible.

This is to be done on a rainy night outdoors.
Stand in the rain and let it touch you - do not wear heavy clothing to protect yourself from it.
Call the rain and draw it down harder. Cast no circle, lest the pain stay trapped within it.
When the downpour becomes heavy, begin. Say the incantation charged full of emotion
and let it come from the heart.
"Rain, take the pain.
Rain, take the pain.
Rain, take the pain.
Rain, take the pain.
Rain, take the pain.
Rain, take the pain.
Rain, wash away my pain.
Cry for me and take away my tears.
Rain, wash away my pain.
Cry for me and take away my fears."
Hold palms open to the sky and let the rain fill them. Wash your face and eyes with it.
Repeat this three times.
"Let the tears fall, with the water,
into the earth, into the rock."
Let the pain go, release the energy.
Let it wash away. Imagine it leaving you and entering the earth bound by rock.
