A Book of Shadows

Time moves so quickly, (this can be intense sometimes!) which has me pondering better ways to work on flowing with it and staying more in the moment. Try this…

When you wake up, take just a couple minutes to breathe consciously and bring your awareness to the present. Stand up and take another deep breath in, clap your hands once and say:


"I am now, I am here, time moves on, yet I remain clear."


Say that aloud three times and then stomp your feet on the ground a few times to center your energy. 


Do this daily as a little ritual to start your day in the place that matters—THIS MOMENT!


As the day goes on, whenever you feel like you’re getting lost and not being in the moment, clap your hands or stomp your feet  (it can be lightly, by the way 😊) to remind yourself of where and who you are! 💜

I can’t think of anyone that doesn’t need at least a little help with either better self love, anxiety relief, or general emotional support...

...which is why I am choosing to talk about Lepidolite this week!

This is an excellent crystal for encouraging joy, gratitude, and self-love in a very calm and tranquil way.  


The energy of contentment emanated by lepidolite makes it easier to connect well with your higher self, and overall spiritual side. 


It can help you to put yourself first when necessary and to tune into yourself without feeling guilty or lazy. This crystal has the energy to help you see the value of idleness, of stopping and just allowing yourself to be.

 

This stone has a unique ability to ease emotional suffering and help you become more aware of the joy that is present all around you.


Lepidolite has the amazing power of helping you become more attuned with the divine energies both of the universe and yourself. 



It can help with handling issues that are either paining or limiting you on a psychic level. This could include challenges with anxiety, grief or mourning, depression, even feelings of apathy or not belonging. 


Lepidolite can assist with making more sense of your emotions and how to approach them in a healthy way, so that you can make the changes that are important and necessary for improving your life.


This is definitely a crystal to add to your collection. I’ll be working with mine too! 💜


When I’m not in a rush, I love to cook! It’s almost like a moving meditation to get completely absorbed in the kitchen...

The glorious scents, the interesting textures and feelings… the sounds that undoubtedly make me nostalgic, recalling memories from childhood and cooking with special loved ones... the beautiful creations we eventually complete, and the variety of flavors that bring a smile!


And of course the opportunity for a little kitchen Witch Magick is always there!

Speak your intentions while making your recipes—bless your food with love and gratitude—choose ingredients, when possible, that dance and correlate with your magic, such as adding honey to a dish to help sweeten somebody (who’ll be eating it) up! ❤️

Be creative, be joyful, and mostly, BE PRESENT. 🔥


That way, you’ll really take in the whole experience, engaging all of your senses, and fill yourself fully and truly: your whole mind, body, and spirit!💫


BON APPETIT!😍
