Forgiving yourself

This series of blogs called “getting comfortable in your skin” has been inspired by Coventry Magic by Jacki Smith.      Just to recap: For 2015, we are dedicating ourselves to unleashing your personal power. Since this is no overnight task, we have broken it down month by month. January, we talk about getting comfortable in your own skin.  Before you can become your most empowered self; our thought process is first you have to figure out who the hell are you before anything?  Last Wednesday, I wrote about looking down deep to discover what is really important to you. If you would like to read it, it is called: Getting into your body here and now.   Forgiving Yourself   I call them memory ninja attacks.  You are just about the drift off to sleep and then BAM a super embarrassing memory pops into your head leaving you wide awake...

b2ap3_thumbnail_who-are-you-today-anyway-1.jpg

This series of blogs has been inspired by Coventry Magic by Jacki Smith.      I am sometimes shocked to see photos of myself nowadays. It's not like I have changed too much, but in my head  I am the cutest photo I have ever taken, that is my expectation.  Then in the seconds it takes for the actual picture to pop up, I feel a mini betrayal from my phone. That was not flattering phone! What were you thinking giving me a double chin phone!?   The truth is, we are not always really who we think we are.  This could be in a positive way like you consider your self boring, but you have everyone in your office in stitches most days.  It can also be in a more negative way(I am picturing the failed auditions from American Idol, talk about false sense of self!)   January’s theme for...

Create a personal revolution

I live in Michigan and lately the news hasn’t been good this past month.   From the national stage that told us of death, riots and torture to the local reality of Michigan defunding schools to fund roads and then telling us that anyone can claim religious freedom for a reason to discriminate.  I am frustrated, dismayed and feeling a bit hopeless.     The conversation turned to national and local concerns, no surprise there.  I talked about the astrological influences on our culture and that this is where we are testing our resolve.  Another Mom talked about her frustrations and worries around her son.   Then another mom (one of my favorites) shared a quote with us from an up and coming religious leader.   "Fundamentalism is a reaction to progress" Reza Aslan   Mr Aslan is a writer and a scholar of religious studies and a Muslim.   Many of us Americans...

b2ap3_thumbnail_how-to-anoint-a-candle.jpg

Magic Made Easy: How to Anoint a Candle Using Dragon's Blood Oil   Dragon’s Blood Oil is a wonderful oil to use when helping define and empower spells.   When working with candle magic, there are lots of tools that you can use to help direct your energy to where you want to go.  I chose Spiritual Cleansing Blessed Herbal Candle  to empower by rubbing the oil in a downward direction. Using the oil in a downward direction is useful when you want to send something away, which I most certainly did!  After anointing and lighting the candle, I like to take a few moments to read the blessing on the spiritual cleansing candle and visualize my goals coming to pass. It is a simple and wonderful technique, to learn more about candle magic, we recommend looking into Coventry Magic by Jacki Smith.  Please never leave a burning candle unattended.   To...

b2ap3_thumbnail_Day28.jpg

When you get home from work today, instead of lying down or sitting down, shake yourself up. Shake all the excess energy or unwelcome energy off of your body. Shake your head, arms, trunk, butt, legs and feet. Now yell a little while you shake. What mood were you in before you shook and after you shook?   - Jacki Smith

30 Days of Miracles: Touch your toes and hang that way for a full 60 seconds.

b2ap3_thumbnail_Day26.jpg

Touch your toes and hang that way for a full 60 seconds. Even if you have to bend your knees, touch your toes. Lift you arms high, look up and slightly arch your back. Hold that for 60 seconds. Bring your arms out to the side for 60 seconds, making yourself a giant “t”. Now hug yourself for as long as you can. What thoughts came to you in each position. 1 – What you need to relax from, 2 – What do you need guidance on, 3 – what in your life are you open to, 4 – What in your life are you embracing.   - Jacki Smith
