5 Essential Life Lessons

A candle holder with text - Find Joy In The Little Things. It's surrounded by ivy and a tiny witches broom.

It’s said that we’ll be guaranteed fulfillment if we follow certain life lessons. Of course, this is contingent on how open one is to different ideas. Here are 5 essential life lessons taught for a good life.

Be Grateful (Most Important Life Lesson)

Out of all the life lessons there are, gratitude seems to be at the top of the list. With good reason though. Life gives us stress and struggles which bring our esteem down. Gratitude for the little things tells the universe that you appreciate everything about life in general. It will attract more positive things to you.

Focus On What You Can Control

If we focus on what truly matters then it’s easier to reach a goal. Losing focus on things out of our control brings unnecessary stress. Stick to your life’s purpose and release what’s out of your hands. You’ll find yourself happier.

Accept Failures

Most of us try our hardest not to fail because of social status. Society has conditioned us to believe failures as a bad thing. A life lesson to follow is not to be afraid of failure. Sometimes when this happens, we tend to hate ourselves. The truth is, failure is a learning aspect of life.

Age Doesn’t Define You

Age shouldn’t hinder what you want to do. Sometimes people feel it’s not socially acceptable to participate in certain things. Don’t let age limit your life experiences.

Prioritize

Prioritize the things you hold dear to you. More specifically, relationships. We tend to forget that the people in our lives are vital assets. Family and friends are invaluable. Make it a point to let these people know how much their appreciated often. Ultimately, love is the only thing that truly matters.

Thoughts on 5 Essential Life Lessons

Life is essentially a teacher. We don’t always have to learn the hard way though. Try to incorporate these 5 essential life lessons into your life and see how you feel.

Right now the world is in evolution and humanity is going through a mass awakening. We are being more mindful of how we live and act. Along with following life lessons, humanity is participating in a transformation.

Ascension requires deep healing at the core level. The Gift of Forgiveness Workbook and Violet Flame Transmutation Workbook will accelerate radical change.

Happy Health, Happy Life!

Make a Talisman

Do you believe in lucky charms? Studies show that many people do. Other languages have words similar to talisman that mean “lucky charm”. The word tilsam is the ancient Greek verb telein, meaning “to initiate into the mysteries.” Do you know how to make a talisman?

Similar to Witch Bottles

Love Spell Jar

Witches bottles or spell jars are versatile and customized for a variety of needs. You can read about how to make those here. You can literally enchant anything. Talismans and amulets are both good examples of this.

They are both charmed for specific reasons. Amulets ward something off and talismans attract something.  Think in terms of crystals that are associated with astrological signs, rabbit’s foot, and four-leaf clovers for good luck.

You can combined the idea behind the witch bottle with a talisman.

A talisman can be made in a bottle like a witches bottle without so many correspondences. Witches bottles are usually full of stuff to support a spell of some sort. Talismans are usually jewelry or something you carry on you.

This way, the person isn’t wearing it but it doesn’t hold a spell.

Make a Talisman

Hold the talisman in your hands and concentrate. Take a few moments to meditate on the object. Concentrate and visualize your intention into it. Your intuition will tell you when i’ts done. Place it in a small bottle.

You can find the tools needed to make your own talisman here.

Happy Crafting!

Spiritual Awakening & Magick

People often think of magick as witchcraft or wizards. But, magick is done in many forms by many different people. Magick is all around us whether one’s aware or not. Since I began my awakening three years ago, I’ve noticed how spiritual awakening & magick go hand in hand.

Spiritual Awakening Shows us our Magick

When we wake up to the illusions of the world we start to notice otherworldly beings. Notably, faeries and nature spirits. Noticing these beings opens the door for us to co-exist with them. Or, work with them if you’re into Faery Magick.

The energy of nature spirits in between trees

We realize that we are being guided by higher forces. Even though we’ve always had these guides, we are noticing their messages now. In addition, we learn to communicate with them.

Communicating with them can be as simple as asking a question out loud and then later seeing something that answered your question. Then again, you could ask a yes or no question and state what you’ll look for.

For instance, email yourself but address it to your guides or the universe. Say if the answer is yes, show you a certain object or let you hear a phrase three times in the next couple of days. If the answer is yes, I promise you’ll see your confirmation.

Of course, some people are mediums and can channel these beings directly. Some of us are highly intuitive and can sense energy and messages. Because our spiritual abilities and gifts become more prominent, it encourages some to find their calling in tarot or psychic readings.

Spiritual Practice IS Magick

I quickly learned how similar my spiritual practice and witchcraft are. A good example of this is the use of healing crystals. Both practices know the magick and power of these stones and work with them every day.

I advocate for everyone to use healing crystals regardless of their lifestyle. They are amazing divine gifts. You can read more about why here.

Before participating in any sort of metaphysics, it’s a good idea to protect yourself. In witchcraft, we cast a circle and call upon the Guardians of the Watch Towers to protect us. In spiritual practice, we call upon the angels to form a circle of protection around us before meditating.

Speaking of meditation, think about meditation for a specific purpose. For example, to clear chakras. With your mind you imagine a colored light going to your chakras and cleansing them. As a result, your chakras are benefiting!

Is that not magick?!

Our Natural State of Being

The truth is we are all naturally magick. I hope humanity gets to the point of acceptance rather than shunning. Magick is not evil nor against the Will of God. The complete opposite actually because we were gifted these abilities.

Spoiler alert – you’re magick! is a blog post I wrote last year demonstrating these points. If you feel called to check it out I think you’ll find it interesting. We live in a magical universe full of magical beings. Embrace it!

Don’t Hide Your Magick!

Caring for Healing Crystals

If you own healing crystal stones you should know how to properly care for them. Crystals truly are a gift from the divine and should be treated with respect. Properly caring for healing crystals keep them performing at their best.

To experience everything healing crystals offer it’s important to work with them in different ways. For maximum benefit, clean, charge, program, and ground your stones.

Cleanse your Crystals

Caring for healing crystals doesn’t mean only cleaning them every once in a while. Keeping them clear of all the energy they collect off of, well everything, is the most important. The crystals should be brought back into a neutral state after use.

They should also be physically washed. Most stones can get a quick rinse with cool water. I leave mine out in the rain sometimes. You can try these other ways:

  • a bowl of cool water with a palm-full of salt
  • a bowl of Himalayan, sea, or Epsom salt
  • smudging with sage or Palo Santo
  • burying overnight
  • bowl of rice
  • other crystals like amethyst or selenite
  • oil diffuser

Not all crystals like water or salt so you should research your individual crystal before using those modalities. I have guides on my Pinterest board.

Charge your Crystals

Charge your crystals with energies of the sun, moon, or Mother Gaia. Put them on a windowsill overnight for a lunar cleanse. Sit them on a table for a few hours to get sun-kissed. Or, put them in a flower bed to ground with Gaia.

Program your Crystals

Program your crystal by infusing your intention in them. You can simply tell it what to do or hold it in your palms and meditate on your intention.

You could store them together by chakras or intention. Other ways are to group them by color or vibration frequency. You may not want to store a crystal specialized in calming nerves with one to boost energy.

Benefits of Caring for Healing Crystals

You’ll experience a lot of benefits when properly caring for healing crystals. They’re easy to use too. Carry one in your pocket or your car. Put one on your desk and in your pillowcase. Make a crystal grid somewhere in your home.

The possibilities and benefits are endless. Read more about what healing crystals can do for you here.

Happy Healing!

Hale & Hearty Honey

If you’ve lived on planet Earth for more than six months, you’ve heard of honey. But, what do you really know about honey? Probably that Winnie the Pooh is addicted and it pairs well with nut Cheerios. There’s a reason this post is titled, Hale & Hearty Honey.

Honey is the epitome of a superfood. You might want to add honey to your daily diet.

‘Hale’ to the Honey

This pure substance is the only food that contains all the necessary ingredients to sustain life. The vitamins, enzymes, and minerals found in honey are all the necessary ingredients to keep us alive and healthy. I repeat, Hale & Hearty Honey!

What’s more, it’ll never spoil.

The biggest amount of antioxidants is found in darker honey. Antioxidants can prevent arteries from narrowing which means a stronger heart. Enjoying honey on the regular can fight excess cholesterol. This is because of the beneficial effect it has on the level of antioxidants compounds in the body.

Speaking of cholesterol, you won’t find any in honey. But you’ll find constituent components and vitamins that help purge the bad cholesterol. Honey can help restore the cellular antioxidant defense system. Consequently, this improves memory. And, it’s worth mentioning that the calcium in honey is easily digested by the brain.

Doesn’t Sugary Stuff Give You Acne?

Yeah, about that. We avoid too many sugary products because of the negative effects on the skin. However, honey isn’t your typical sweetener. We’re talking about a different composition of sugar, not oily skin kind. Sweet! (see what I did there?)

Honey is an excellent antioxidant so regular consumption will cleanse the body of toxins. Also, its antibacterial properties will considerably improve the condition of your skin. Honey is used as a DIY moisturizer, light scrub, and pore cleanser.

There are countless ways to combine honey and natural products for skin care. These easy mixes cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate. A huge bonus is their antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Try it for yourself:

Read how amazing Bees are!

There’s a magick quality between honey and air. It absorbs moisture and transfers it to the skin. So your face receives the hydration that lasts longer and stays in the layers of skin where its most needed.

What Else?

Honey is so much cooler than all that. We’re supposed to cut sweets out of our diet to lose weight, right? Not honey. Matter of fact, adding it helps us lose weight by boosting the metabolism. It also gives minerals and vitamins beneficial for the body we may lose on a diet.

The sugar in honey isn’t empty calories. It’s fiber, protein, and water. Add this to your day and notice your energy level change:

Seriously, read about the bees!

Do yourself a favor and experience the amazing benefits of honey. But, don’t stop there. Mother Gaia’s nature kingdom is full of magical health benefits. Go explore. Bee Amazed.

Get a Taste of Honey!

Powerful Strange Love & Light

By now, most are familiar with the spiritual community adopting the motto, “love and light”. As we are in the midst of an evolution, we spiritual folk are working overtime to spread that stuff everywhere. That’s because we know that the only thing that actually exists is love. Powerful, strange love.

However, the word ‘love’ will generally trigger the thought of a romantic connection rather than love for your brothers, sisters, and all of creation. While romance is a precious experience, just regular love from within your heart space is what we mean by, “love and light.”

In the spirit of romantic love, I’m sharing a few strange facts on the subject.

Love is Strange

Love in all its complexities is three feelings in one. These are lust, attraction, and attachment.

According to a meta-analysis study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, it only takes a 5th of a second to fall in love.

The researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine did a study with the subjects connected to a computer-controlled thermal stimulator. When the subject’s hands were zapped while looking at photos of a loved one, they experienced fewer levels of pain.

The feeling of being in love is similar to the feeling of being high. Kinsey Institute published a study in Frontier Psychology finding that the brain in love acts similar to a brain on cocaine.

Consequently, the early stages of a romantic relationship show signs of substance addiction like euphoria, cravings, withdrawal, and emotional dependence. Wow. Talk about powerful, strange love!

The prefrontal cortex of the brain is responsible for critical thinking, rational behavior, and self-awareness. Research has found that when sexually aroused, this part of the brain is cut off. So, love can make you have ditzy moments.

High levels of happy hormones like dopamine are released when you’re in love. These give the giddy feeling, and a belly full of fireflies. Because those hormones control every thought, you may become less hungry.

Couples in love can experience physiological symptoms says a study conducted by University of California, Davis. The heartbeat of someone in love was found to actually synch up with their beloved. This is called synchs of the heart.

Maybe that explains why the heart can really break. A condition called Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy is when the heart’s main pumping chamber weakens due to severe emotional or physical stress. This has been found primarily in females thus far.

So, the next time you hear someone say, “love and light” remember that the ‘love’ they’re sending is just regular heart space love. Likewise, next time you fall in love and start behaving strangely, remember that, well, love is strange.

Love & Light!

Who is the Archangel Michael?

Archangel Michael is the Archangel of protection. This includes the protection of the Creator’s Will and Power. Michael has been appointed to protect all aspects of the Creator, whether on the Earth or inner planes. He safeguards the Will of the Creator, ensuring that it’s distributed to the correct minds and consciousness for manifestation.

Archangel Michael works closely with the Power of the Creator. Because of that, the characteristic of power is something Michael has mastered. Now, he’s assisting others to master the powerful energy within them. He teaches us to use our power in a loving way.

Archangel Michael Says Come Soar With Us

Michael oversees a learning process that allows the individual to understand the energy of power and its influences. Therefore, we can later use this power for positive transformation.

Due to the presence of power in his being, he’s able to emulate such protective energy. His mission is to safeguard the Power of the Creator and to allow others to activate the sacred energy in their beings.

The Archangel Michael asks that you reclaim your symbolic wings and come soar with us. Moreover, accept the gift of divine Will and Power he’s offering as you strive to reclaim your proper station as co-creator master of light.

To guide, guard, inspire, and protect us has always been his main purpose. Matter of fact, he promised to be with each of us during our long journey into the physical world.

Archangel Michael’s Sword of Truth & Redemption

The symbol of this angel is the sword. It’s called the Sword of Truth and Redemption. We were given a symbolic sword each time we incarnated. Likewise, this sword blazed forth from Archangel Michael’s heart center, forged from pure Creator light.

Our instructions were to use the sword while reclaiming our mastery. Firstly, use it to sever discordant energies that keep you shackled to lower-dimensional illusions.

In addition to his love for the Supreme Creator, his sword is also charged with his love for all of us. For those who yield it truly and honorably, it bears the attributes of strength, power, and valor.

Are you ready to accept this profound gift and initiation into the Order of Archangel Michael and his Legions of Light?

If so, please read and declare this statement:

Archangel Michael is offering spiritual freedom. I hope you accept and set your heart free from the bonds of fear, hate, and limitation.

Soar Beyond the Confines of Time & Space!
