Balance Karmic Checkbook

A magenta/violet colored fake check, It has Lady Liberty in the middle holding scales and peeking one eye out from under a blindfold. The check financial company is labeled as "My Highest Guidance Within Credit Union" Pay to the Order of is filled out to "Karmic Board" the memo takes up two lines of the check.

Working with the Law of Attraction is becoming more creative. Affirmations, vision boards, and scripting are popular tried and true methods. Additionally, an abundance check from the universe seems to be a favorite. Using the same idea, balance your karmic checkbook.

An abundance check tells the universe you’re ready to receive. But what about gaining abundance from a different perspective by writing a check to the universe? Or more specifically, to the Karmic Board. This statement tells the Lords of Karma that you’re clearing your energy field with forgiveness.

Check for Abundance from the Universe

The process of writing a check from the universe for abundance is simple:

  • Print the checks
  • Write your name and the monetary value or something you want to manifest
  • Sign it from The Universe
  • Keep it in on you knowing it’s coming true

The Law of Attraction works when you have the undeniable belief that what you desire is coming.

Karmic Board

Under the Law of Cause and Effect, all of our thoughts, intentions, and deeds are stored within our auric field and chakra system. We radiate the vibrational pattern created. This goes forth from us in an infinity pattern and returns to us in light frequency and measure.

Dark violet colored fake checks made payable to the Karmic Board. The financial institution is "My Highest Guidance Within" and the memo is two lines long. A picture of Lady Liberty is in the middle of the check. She's holding scales and is peeking one eye out from underneath a blindfold.

Throughout our lifetimes we accumulate good and bad karma. We do reap what we sow regardless of how long it takes. The Lords of Karma doesn’t hand out karma, they oversee the process. The Karmic Board is an organization where the Lords decide how much karma we can handle at any given time.

When we forgive others through loving intention, we return the negative vibrational patterns we’ve created back into neutral light substance. When we forgive, we bring balance and harmony back into our lives. Forgive yourself and others, for any action, thought, or deed in past, present, and future.

Balance the Karmic Checkbook and forgive everyone in this or any other realities.

Balancing the Karmic Checkbook

Free yourself from the shackles of the past and forgive. Forgive yourself, and everyone in all realities for any shared conflicting discordant energies.

The process is similar to writing a check from the universe:

  • Print the checks
  • Write the check payable to the Karmic Board
  • Write the amount as the person you’re forgiving
  • In the memo write an event where you’re holding onto resentment for someone
  • Sign it from you


While writing the check, consciously wrap all negative memories, impacted energies, and probable futures that you’ve created together, in a bubble of love. Mentally send it to them. This gift of adamantine particles along with their negative thought forms and if they desire, our love/light will transmute their negative thought patterns more easily.

If they don’t accept the gift and thereby don’t learn the lesson involved, it will manifest again through another person and situation. However, we’re released from that karmic interaction and will never have to experience it again. We gained wisdom from the experience and responded in a loving, masterful way.

Balancing the Karmic Checkbook will Open the Heart Center

This method helps with inner healing and self-transformation. Forgiveness is personal and must come from the heart. It doesn’t matter if others don’t forgive you because sincere forgiveness of yourself changes the dynamics of the energy frequency between us and others.

Our loving energies speak for itself and creates miracles.

Forgiveness of self is a facilitator of all others and an integral step in the process of opening the portal to our sacred heart center. Our heart portal must be opened in order to successfully connect with the many facets of our divine selves and our universal consciousness.

It not only benefits us and helps us to manifest what we desire for the greatest good of all, but our auric field will be filled with love and light.

Shine Bright!

Inspired Action for TF Union

Pink iridescent background with text overlay - be zen and manifest twin flame union. "Be" "and" "twin flame" is smaller text written in red. The rest is larger black text with a gray shadow and written in cursive.

We’ve always been co-creating with the universe through our thoughts and feelings. If we mindfully work with the Universal Laws, we manifest our dream life quicker and easier. Inspired action says we’re ready.

But, it’s not as simple as taking inspired action to gain a twin flame union. To be energetically ready, the following should happen:

  • healed a good amount
  • met your shadow self
  • accepted your shadows
  • forgave yourself
  • forgave others
  • released what no longer serves
  • purged stagnant relationships
  • speak your truth
  • claimed personal power

Now that you’re transformed, you’re completely exhausted. Want to raise your vibration and call in your soulmate? Let me help you.

Divine Timing

iridescent pink background with black text overlay - be still and manifest your best.

Divine timing means your soul is ready.

Just like any relationship is unique to itself, the amount of healing required is user-specific. Nobody is ever fully healed. That’s an ongoing process.

You have to let your shadow speak. Acknowledge it. Now it’s quieter.

Nurturing guilt and shame stunts your growth. Accept what’s done and forgive yourself. Apply what you learned to future endeavors.

Nobody has to be a part of your life, but they can’t live angrily in your emotional body. Forgive. Apply what you learned to future relationships.

Releasing what no longer serves can be as simple as decluttering. End pointless friendships. Stop participating where there’s no equal give or take.

Always speak your truth.

Divine timing is based on you. Are you ready? Then its time.

How To Take Inspired Action

A positive attitude will manifest positive energies. Common ways to anchor an intention is through creative vision, affirmations, and journaling. But how about using a Zen Garden or meditation?

Both of these methods are powerful during transformation. And, both of these methods can set an intention. They bring spiritual expansion.

Meditation is a lifestyle characteristic of the spiritual awakening journey. It creates an inner space of peace and serenity. With it, we can focus, make better decisions, and reduce stress.

Using a Zen garden can improve focus, patience, and self-control. They improve mindfulness, and can even help you fight addictions. Buddhist philosophy teaches to detach from negative thoughts and impulses. Read this essay published in the Indian Journal of Psychiatry for more ways to nurture positive ideas.

Inspired Action With Magnets & Zen

The tried and true method of creative visualization is therapeutic. Creating pleasurable stimuli raises confidence and becomes a motivational magnet.

Magnetic Zen Bottle is an alternative to the dry landscaping of a Zen Garden. It’s like a vision board but the images are in your mind. The bottle helps you stay grounded, and that’s where we manifest.

Raking the sand in a traditional Zen garden creates grooves representative of flowing water. The Zen Bottle is vice versa. The magnet pulls the magnetic ink to it. This is when you focus on the goal. It tells the universe that you’re ready to surrender and go with the flow.

The Zen Bottle will help you stay concentrated on the desired goal. Just having it around will remind you to stay dedicated and focused. This will cultivate over in all areas of your life.

Magnetic Biology

Since twins share one soul they’re able to influence the other’s thoughts and even mirror sensations. It’s like quantum entanglement. The feminine energy is magnetic and the masculine is electric.

The heart is the greatest generator of electricity in the body. It creates electrical, pressure, heat, sound, light, magnetic, and electromagnetic signals. The continuous motion creates and emits a magnetic field around it.

Geoscientists and neurobiologists at Caltech and the University of Tokyo conducted a study that shows on a subconscious level, the human brain actively processes and responds to magnetic rotations and changes in the Earth’s magnetic fields.

The study, which was published in eNeuro, was led by Dr. Joseph Kirschvink from the US California Institute of Technology. He stated, “Our results indicate that human brains are indeed collecting and selectively processing directional input from magnetic field receptors.” Just like our nomadic ancestors’ inner compass.

Once you return to your center of power that resides in your sacred heart, the urge to reunite becomes a magnetic force that can’t be denied.

Inspired Action For Union

“With you I’m not shy, to show the way I feel. With you I might try, my secrets to reveal. For you are a magnet and I am steel.”

Walter Egan, 1978 – Magnet & Steel

Empowerment comes from balance and trust. Your Twin Flame feels the same way about you that Walter Egan sings about Stevie Nicks.

People have more creative power than they realize. Add your voice to the collective consciousness. Call on your Twin Flame soul family. Feel their love and support. Your team of light supports your union. The pair of you have a divine contract to raise the vibrations of the world.

Magnet Magick!

Idea Behind Witch Bottles

amethyst crystal in a spell jar
spell jar at an altar

The idea behind witch bottles was to protect against evil spirits or magical attacks. These countermagical devices attract and trap harmful intentions. Described in historical sources in England and the United States, they appeared in the 17th century.

Eventually, the idea behind witch bottles expanded to spell jars. A desire, to banish, or to attract something is sealed in a jar. Witches create spell jars for really anything imaginable, but the most popular is for protection, abundance, and love.

Spell jars are fun and easy to make. There is no wrong way to make one. Want to try it out for yourself? Below are some easy DIY ideas from my own apothecary.

Before Crafting an Idea Behind Your Witch Bottles

When choosing your correspondences, research what magical properties support your bottle. For example, some properties that rosemary is used for is protection, cleansing, and strength. Any herb in your kitchen cabinet can be used.

But don’t stop at only herbs. Literally, anything can be added to your spell jar. Some examples are:

spell jar at an altar
  • charms
  • name paper or petition paper
  • pictures
  • oils
  • crystals
  • fruit
  • flower petals
  • ribbon
  • hair
  • fingernails
  • anything from nature
  • string
  • jewelry
  • ashes

The list could go on and on. Sympathetic magick is using objects to represent the event (or person) you want to influence. Use anything you associate your intention with.

I’ll use a panther for example. The panther spirit animal represents protection, so a picture or Oracle card of a panther could be used in a protection ritual. However, I associate panthers with my beloved, so that wouldn’t work for me. It’s all about how you feel towards something.

Enchant the Components of your Witch Bottles

herbs for a spell jar

Enchant the components with your intended idea behind your witch bottle. Close your eyes and open your crown chakra. Imagine a bright light – whatever color you wish – coming down from the divine and flowing into your crown chakra.

Cup the components in your hands holding them close to your mouth. Breathe in slowly but deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth towards the correspondences. On every exhale imagine the same color forming a cloud around them. Do this nine times while mentally stating your intention of what you wish the correspondences to do. 

Or you could simply ask them to do what your intention is. Be sure to thank them.

Place your correspondences inside the bottle. Secure the lid. Place a candle on top. A birthday candle works well because it burns quickly. To steady the candle, burn the bottom then quickly fasten it on the lid. The wax will secure it. Light the candle and meditate on your intention while the candle is burning. The wax will seal in the spell as it drips down and around the bottle.

Enchantment for Two Witch Bottle

Love Spell Jar

Enchantment for Two is fashioned for couples. Using the details of the pair of you, engineer a spell bottle with the assistance of your zodiac properties. Use correspondences supporting love along with clear intentional energy.

Love Spell Jar

Sweetin’ them Up is the Idea Behind this Witch Bottle

Sweeten them up Spell Jar

Anytime our bosses, egoist ex-lover’s or co-workers start acting sour, we can enchant their sweet spot with witches bottles. Sweet properties like organic honey, brown sugar, and coconut flakes can be used to throw our sweetness on them.

Write the name of who you wish to sweeten up on a small piece of paper. Fold the paper three times or at least small enough to fit inside the bottle. If you are using non-liquids like coconut flakes or sweet morsels, you can fold them inside the name paper.

sweet spell jar

Pour liquid sweets like honey, agave, or syrup over the paper. Any other nonliquids can be placed inside the bottle, on top, or around the name paper. Fill the bottle the rest of the way up with liquid sweets. But leave just enough room to be able to shake the bottle and the liquid still move about. Secure the lid.

Anytime you feel this person acting sour towards you, work your bottle by shaking it with your intention in mind.

Hale & Hearty Witch Bottle

Spell Jar

Trying to live zen can be challenging when life happens. Humans are built with emotions not easily controlled all the time.  If grains of sand escape your perfectly groomed zen garden, use the gifts from Mother Gaia to banish negative energy. 

This jar is filled with growth, strengthening & healing properties. Pine needles, oatmeal, and an old skeleton key radiate positive energies. These correspondences keep vitality on your side and stress level down.

You could also write your intention on a small piece of paper. Fold the paper three times or at least small enough to fit inside the bottle. Place your correspondences on top and around the petition paper. I used a Bay leaf to write the intention of health in this bottle.

Lucky You Spell Witch Bottle

Change bad luck spell jar
Vitality Spell Jar

Everyone can benefit from a lucky charm, so how about trying a lucky witch bottle? Fill it with items that represent and attract luck your way. This one has a wishbone and a lucky penny “heads up” on display.

The idea behind a witches bottle can be a magical touch to any room. Write a word or small phrase on a Bay Leave for extra oomph.

Lucky you Spell Jar with a penny

Sweet Dreams Spell Charm

Do you know what else you could seal a spell in? Anything! So try a charm. The idea behind a witches bottle can be added to anything. My spellwork buddy, (my youngest son) and I made this charm for my niece when she was having trouble sleeping peacefully through the night.

blue candle, sweet dreams spell charm

Living inside this charming bottle is a melatonin tablet, silver shimmer, and a scented cotton ball. The properties are bounded with the intention of a restful night’s sleep.

Use a mortar and pestle or a bowl and a spoon to bust up melatonin. Place a drop of blue or purple dye on top of a couple of chunks. Tear a small piece of cotton ball and place it in the same bowl, soaking up the excess dye.

blue candle, silver star, spell charm

Drop essential oil of lavender, lemon, chamomile, or rosemary on the cotton. Sprinkle shimmer on top of the “clouds” and place inside the charm bottle with tweezers. If you have crystal chips, rose quartz works well to support rest.

My son prefers chaos magick over ceremonial order, but I’m a practitioner of ritual magick. I always use a candle in spellwork. Use color magick when selecting your candle. Blue, silver, yellow, or lilac are good for this intention.

blue candle, sweet dreams spell charm

Or choose a decorative candle with a moon, clouds, or depicted with something to represent getting rest. Tell the candle to support the energy of getting undisturbed rest into the correspondences. Secure the lid of the charm bottle and drip the wax from your candle to fasten a charm of a star or moon on top.

Believe in Your Idea Behind Your Witch Bottles

Your intention and the strong belief in your own power is important when doing spell work. There is an invisible life force inside of you and the only limits are the ones you place on yourself. Skeptical about how magical you actually are? Then hop on your besom and Bibidi Boppidy Boo over there and read all about it.

“Our psyche can function as though space did not exist. The psyche can thus be independent of space, of time, and of causality. This explains the possibility of magic.”

~Dr. Carl G. Jung – A Collection of Remembrances; Pages 51-70

Think Law of Attraction. If you believe it will work, it will. You can go beyond logic.

Blessed Be!

Meditation Prep by Archangel Michael

Light shades of pink background with text overlay - Meditation Prep by Archangel Michael. A bold silhouette of an angel covers half the photo.

I know, I know, meditation? I’m sure most of us know the amazing beneficial side effects, but let’s be real here. Most people meditate, uh, never. But those that do might be interested in meditation prep by Archangel Michael.

That doesn’t include me. I am a chronic meditator. My son says, “Mother, you can’t take three naps a day and claim you’re meditating.” But his smart mouth isn’t writing this.

I absolutely love to meditate. I like different forms of meditation, but a lot of it is guided. Sometimes after Archangel Michael’s messages, he takes us on a meditation journey. Just like before doing any type of spiritual work, he guides us into protection.

I like the way Archangel Michael preps for meditation. I thought other’s might find it useful as well, so I’m sharing it here.

Prep for Meditation by Checking Your Ego

Archangel Michael says that if it helps you to visualize by identifying your ego with a symbol or object, please do.

Direct your ego self to perch on your left shoulder. Instruct your ego self that it is only to be an observer on this journey.

Ask for Protection through Prayer

In your imagination, ask through prayer for protection by stating –

My Creator, I am asking you for a protective ray of white light to enfold me and lift me up so that I am experiencing the very highest of vibrations during this journey into my inner most depths of understanding and being.

I am protecting myself from anything that is not for my highest good on this journey.

I am thanking you, my Creator, for assisting me by sending me this ray that is now coming down through the corner of the area where I am meditating. It is entering into this physical form, permeating all that is within this being presence, I AM.

The Creator has answered and has gifted you with an iridescent white ray for this journey.

The rays are entering into your body through the solace of your feet and moving up through your physical vessel permeating throughout all of your energy fields and all corners of the area you are in. Then exiting through your crown chakra.

They rays are returning to the Creator and then cycling back down to you again, and then back to the Creator in a circling motion. These are in a continuous loop while you are in meditation.

Meditation Prep by Archangel Michael & The Power of Figure 8

Visualize yourself using your breath to form a figure 8. The in-breath forms the top loop of the 8, which goes over your head, and the out-breath forms the bottom loop which goes under your feet.

The middle of the 8 is your waist line and forms the still point between the in breath and out breath.

It is forming the sign of infinity and rhythmically forms over and over again with each in and out breath.

This is a reminder that you are infinitely guided through out eternity. You are now divinely protected this moment and nothing can even communicate with you that is not for your highest good without your permission.

Breath in deeply and feel the lighter relaxed feeling of being divinely guided into this meditation.

Breath in deeply and know you’re breathing to the pulse of the Creator. Listen to the Creator’s spiritual heartbeat and feel the unconditional love that courses through you each time you think about this moment.

Want to Bring Guests?

Breath in deeply allowing and seeing within your spiritual imagination your guardian angels and guides take your etheric hand to direct you into your spiritual heart chakra.

At this time, invite all the spiritual guests that you’ll enjoy have accompany you on this journey.

Your guardian angels, guides, and special invited guests are now in your spiritual heart chakra.

You’ll Always Use Protection with Meditation Prep by Archangel Michael

Some of that seems like a long run-on sentence, but, he’s an old-fashioned angel. We’ll give him a break.

The important thing is protection. Before beginning any type of spiritual work, it’s a good idea to put up some sort of protection.

Using AAMichael’s method for protection also reminds me that I am unconditionally loved by the Creator.

Not everyone experiences that feeling. Even if it’s not for protection, I hope anyone feeling down can use this meditation prep by Archangel Michael and remember that you are truly loved.

Blessings!

Saint Violet Flame

Cover of a Workbook. Text overlay - Violet Flame Healing Tool

A spiritual awakening isn’t an automatic shift into love and living inside a rainbow. It’s an epiphany that urges us to seek the truth of who we are, what we are, and what’s really up with the universe. The Saint Violet Flame is a tool to help us with that.

This emotional voyage could be described by saying, *insert adjective here*. To even uncover the path that we’ll journey on is a hellacious task. But after that, we get our rainbow.

Some people complete this scavenger hunt eaiser than others. They know how to process clashing vibrational frequencies without getting thrown off balance. They apply their ascension to transmit the old paradigms and act solely for the highest good of all.

These people are called alchemists, which is a strong talent of Ascended Master Saint Germain.

He shares his gift of the Saint Violet Flame, and he wants me to share this with you.

The Violet Flame

The flame is violet because that color is the highest frequency in the visible spectrum. The benefits of using the violet flame are astounding:

  • cleanse the energy centers
  • release negative energy
  • raise our vibrations
  • reset energy levels
  • shield and protect from outside energies

We can even apply the flame’s high frequency to physical ailments. The flame is an ancient healing tool, but the public learned about it earlier this century.

As a result of alchemic properties, it can reduce years of family counseling. The power can resolve the cycle of negative family patterns, and even transmute karma.

Tiny electrons orbit the pattern of our soul identity. When using the flame, the atoms seem to’ sing’ with our blueprint. Our electronic presence goes back to harmony. So that’s why Archangel Zadkiel calls it the ‘violet singing flame’.

Who is Saint Germain?

In 18th century Europe, a mystery man, Saint Germain, appeared among the royal families. His long list of unique talents was noticeable. Some of these included, chemistry, alchemy, music, and magick.

The name Saint Germain means, “Holy Brother”. He is identified as the avatar of the Age of Aquarius. He’s associated with the color violet, the crystal amethyst, and the Maltese cross.

He earned his title as an Ascended Master because of his many lifetimes serving humanity. He has a special divine responsibility to use divine energy to expand consciousness.

Master Saint Germain serves as the Chohan of the Seventh Ray with his divine counterpart, Lady Portia. She is the Goddess of Justice. Saint Germain promotes freedom’s flame and Lady Portia promotes the flame of justice and opportunity.

Saint Germain’s mission is to bring individual freedom, peace, and enlightenment to the earth. Learn more about the Seven Rays of Light.

Messengers Mark and Elizabeth Clare documents that Saint Germain described the violet flame in the books Unveiled Mysteries, The Magic Presence, and the I AM Discourses.

Saint Germain and the masters have been preparing for the era where peace, enlightenment, and freedom become more possible. We are now in the Age of Aquarius where he teaches us to sing the new song.

Alchemy is the Violet Flame

Alchemy is the transmutation that turns base metals into gold. It’s also a spiritual process that brings the soul into a state of unity with the divine.

Acid forms in our body from negative thoughts and emotions. The violet flame assimilates and resolves that. It cleanses and restores the body to its natural purity. Then it’s possible to raise our vibration and energy level.

The color violet resonates with the vibration of the components of matter. It reaches within and between the atoms of our being and consumes negativity.

Thoughts, intentions, and deeds are stored within our auric field and chakra system. That’s not just from this lifetime on Earth, but also past lives throughout the solar system and galaxy. We can use the violet flame to dissolve past transgressions and release painful memories.

Holding on to inequity from the past doesn’t serve our greatest good. The flame dissolves restrictive membranes of light to bring us back into balance and harmony.

This cleansing will release and transmute karmic ties. Our electromagnetic field holds clogged karma. With no free-flow, we resonate with low frequency.

I suggest visiting Summit Light House to anyone looking to learn more about Saint Germain and his violet flame.

Self Transformation with the Violet Flame

Our spiritual practice empowers us with the courage to lift the veil and remove debris. We’re mostly unaware of the power of relationships. Humans are influenced by social programming that is fueled by ego. I’m not claiming that ego is bad, but the ego can be used as intellectual power.

If you want to heal you have to allow your shadow self a chance to speak. Processing silent emotions is healing. There’s a domino effect between relationship challenges, our ego’s defense mechanisms, and our shadow. It’s like the six degrees to Kevin Bacon rule.

Through writing, we get clarity about what’s needed to progress. We can better understand where our emotions are coming from because we’ll see personal patterns in challenges.

Via the gift of forgiveness, our emotional, mental, and etheric bodies can be healed and transmuted back into wholeness. This benefits our physical body and enhances our sense of well-being.

The Violet Flame Transmutation Workbook has worksheets to target specific emotional exchanges that weigh us down. While using the visual techniques of the violet flame, you document what you’re still holding onto. Then with the assistance of Master Saint Germain, those energies will be transmuted.

Global Transformation

There are three principles that Master Saint Germain teaches. Divine freedom, the use of divine power, and the activity of forgiveness. His guidance leads to self-discipline and the freedom of self-mastery.

Because we have free will, we have to choose to take the steps for transformation. Master Saint Germain will help transcend the past distorted belief patterns so we can find our own freedom.

The incoming Golden Age is under the direction of Master Saint Germain. The new era will bring humanity out of distortion. Mother Gaia and all her inhabitants are evolving to a new consciousness. We’re ascending into higher dimensions.

Explaining the evolutionary process is a challenge on its own. Understanding what’s taking place and how humanity is being affected is also quite a challenge. But, in essence, this is the apocalypse.

“There will be a new heaven and a new earth“

Revelations 21:1 NIV

Love & Blessings!

The Absentee of the Bee

Save the Bees sign with a Bee Still Zen Bottle

The bee definitely stands out amongst the pollinators of the world – butterflies, hummingbirds, and bats. Their vital role in the ecosystem is highly taken for granted. A direct result of their labor is highlighted in every third bite of our food. The hard work of the bee is actually the key to our existence.

While providing food security, their pollination also globally supports the food economy with a value of $500 billion annually.

Too many humans aren’t concerned with the bee population rate. Since the late 1990’s, the bee population has declined. As of 2006, around 40% of honeybees have mysteriously disappeared.

Where Have all the Honeybees Gone?

Pesticide/Insecticide/Herbicide

Bees can ingest any pest management interventions from our gardens. Neonicotinoids are a class of neuro-active insecticides that are chemically similar to nicotine. Research has found that neomics have several negative influences on bee populations. Some places in Europe and some provinces in Canada have already banned the usage of neonics. Research shows that using insecticides containing neonics is the leading cause of the massive bee die-off.

Certain insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides affect the immune system of bees, making them more prone to mites and viruses. The sick honeybees spread diseases throughout the colony. The chemicals also damage their ability to navigate and reproduce. This disorientation can also alter their scent causing rejection from the colony.

Climate Changes

The inconsistent shift in temperature confuses bees during the changing seasons. They aren’t sure where they’re supposed to be or at what time. Their food sources are being missed and trees aren’t being pollinated.

Some species adjust to the weather changes, but not all can. Adding to the turmoil, certain trees have begun to blossom at different times than bee activity.

Varroa Mites

Mites called Varroa destructor are infesting colonies. The mites leave open wounds, spread viruses, and deform the babies.

Cellular Towers Conjecture

Bees use the Earth’s electromagnetism for navigation. The radiation that the cellular towers emit interfere with this field. The concern was that the increase in the atmospheric electromagnetic radiation has been influencing the way the bees navigate.

However, recent studies concluded that the claim of cellular towers being responsible for the decline of bees, do not sufficiently meet the scientific requirements to announce such a claim.

Biodiversity Complications

The loss of biodiversity due to commercial developments leave the bees without homes. Urban city structures are always being assembled resulting in habitat loss for the bees.

This also means a lack of diverse food sources. Limited forage spaces trigger a war between colonies, with the queens fighting till death. Our bees are suffering from poor nutrition and stressful environments.

Collective Humanity Support

It’s understood that many of us don’t possess philanthropist means or even a desire to build a bee sanctuary like the meritorious Morgan Freeman. Adding beekeeper to his curriculum vitae, this badass shining star simply provides a safe environment for 26 hives to live and pollinate, with no intention of harvesting honey for profit at his home.

But for the rest of us, the fact remains that the alarming rate of the disappearance of the bees should be a collective concern. Small, reasonable steps to help the bees thrive are available to us, without altering our lives:

  • Eliminate harmful pest management practices
  • Plant bee-friendly flowers
  • Spread the word
  • Learn beekeeping
  • Alter beekeeping practices
  • Build a bee hotel
  • Make a bee bath
  • Plant an herb garden

Harsh pesticides can kill off the beneficial insects necessary for a healthy ecosystem. Abundant microbes, fungi, and the soil is also the target for flourishing gardens so introducing effective pesticides to rid harmful critters without poisoning anything else is ideal.

Alternate solutions can be achieved through natural and homemade insecticides/pesticides. Essential oils have proved to be effective in keeping predatory insects away and some beekeepers are using essential oils for the treatment of mites.

Wind and water are the pollinators responsible for some flowering plants, but around 3/4 are reliant on insects. Help from any pollination source is useful, including the solitary bees. We could help by planting bee-friendly flowers or simply leaving flowering weeds like clovers, milkweed, and chickweed for food sources. Helping bees by planting chives, fennel, or oregano is a win-win situation. Those are just a few of herbs that bees are keen on and we could find a use for in our kitchens.

Ideas for do-it-yourself bee baths and bee hotels can be found all over the internet, especially Pinterest. I have a board committed to the greater benefit of the bee below. This link will show many ideas and how-tos for anyone interested in transforming their backyards, or simply a small portion of, into bee-friendly zones.

Law of Magnetism

Most of us are aware of the Law of Attraction and how using a vision board can manifest our desires.

Creative visualization is also therapeutic, pleasurable stimuli reduces stress, and mirrors the spiritual health and wellness of meditation.

An alternative to the dry landscape garden of serene, calming activity is the Bee Still bottle. The bottle contains water and MICR (magnetic ink character recognition) toner. By using the magnet to move around the shards of toner we are able to see the magnetic field which is almost hypnotizing.

Taking the initiative to Be Still reflects the mental and psychological merits of a Zen Garden. The essence of the magnetic vial is serene and mesmerizing. A magnetic honey dipper attracts magnetic ink mimicking attracting the bees back to healthy environments.

Pollinators, Mount Up!

Pollination is the highest contributor, outweighing all other agricultural management practices. 87% of our food crops rely on pollinators world-wide. The risk isn’t strictly for the commercial honeybees, but the native bees as well.

We always say doing the best for our children is our number one priority. We can prove this statement by maintaining biodiversity and pitching in to help the bees.

Highbrations!
