tips for manifesting your future: the law of attraction ~

each thought we have creates an energy flow within and around our physical beings. this energy attracts its lightness. whenever you form an intention, there are two primary components. the first is content of intention - what you want. the information part of your desire. the second is the energy you bring to it. 

1.    clarity – you should have clear intentions. focus on what you desire. make lists to help. how do you want to feel? clearly feel what you want to experience.

2.    focus - give it attention. give it love. commit to holding yourself to the idea of what you want. energy flows where attention goes. what you focus your attention on will increase in vibration. the stronger you desire something, the stronger the vibration.

3.    write your wish down - write in present tense, as if you have it right now. write without using negative terms (don’t, can’t… ) write about what you will have. try not to use the word “want.” imagine your desire as if it’s happening right now

4.    visualize – visualize what you want to come to you. visualize opening your hands and having everything fall into your hands. visualize running towards your dreams. feel it subconsciously. 

5.    positive affirmations - increase your vibrations to connect you to your desires. write down helpful affirmations (present tense) and repeat several times a day.. “i love myself” “i easily attract feelings of love into my life”

6.    practice mindfulness - to help positively realize what you desire. observe your feelings, do not judge them. 

7.    increase your awareness - be present. aware of the moment. follow your breathing. enjoy everything. say words you truly mean.

8.    dreams - lucid dreaming. create what you want in your dreams. ask to become one with your higher power. resonate with your goal. 

9.    remain calm and patient - things will come to you in time. do not be impatient.

10.  take action - you must act and move towards your desire. it’s up to you to follow up on your affirmations. explore new ideas and incidents. play your part.

11.  show gratitude - write down everything the universe has given you. be thankful for what you have. align yourself with positive gratitude and you will receive positive energy. write down one thing every day.

12.  ask a question - whatever you are doing right now, will this help you move towards your goal? or will it distract you from it? do what benefits you.

auras: our spiritual signature ~

an aura is tiny electrical impulses results into the formation of a magnetic field around our body. everything has an aura. your aura represents your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual energies. it also reflects your interpersonal state of consciousness.

auras have been proven scientifically, as it is an electromagnetic field in living creatures, reaching 4 to 5 feet around the body. someone who is unwell or unhealthy has a depleted aura, while someone who is healthy in all ways has a bigger and brighter aura.

auras come in several layers.

physical: building blocks for our living body emotional: emotional responses… love, jealously, hatred, sadness, etc. mental: past experiences, beliefs, and memories. spiritual: stores information of past, present, and future experiences… stores your karma. astral: known as an etheric body (double/copy of our physical body). doesn’t exist in a physical form but exists in a form of energy. a theory suggests that most of the healing meant to be done on the physical body is done on your astral body first, then sent down to your physical body.

we can only see the physical aura because it vibrates at a lower frequency.

here’s a way to practice seeing your aura.

- stand in front of a white or plainly colored wall - hold your hands out at arm’s length and connect your index fingers tip to tip - slowly pull your index fingers apart, relaxing your vision as if you were “zoning out” - this should cause you to see an outline surrounding your fingers, and this is your first glimpse at auras - the more you practice, the easier and more vivid the aura will become

living beings can change their auras dramatically and quickly. simple thoughts or actions can change your aura. the aura of the human body continues to change for over 72 hours after clinical death. interacting with drugs, crystals, etc. can change your aura.

colors are a common perception of auras. here’s what different colors and shades might mean.

the innate powers of the moon ~

the moon is a goddess symbol, a spiritual aspect of femininity, representing intuition, psychic abilities, creativity, and wisdom. the cycle of the moon is similar to the cycle of a seed, the seed grows into a flower, blooms, and then dies. each phase of the moon has a unique spiritual meaning. by becoming aware of these meanings, you can apply them to your life and harness the innate powers of the moon.

new moon: new beginnings waxing crescent moon: intention first quarter moon: decision making waxing gibbous moon: refinement full moon: release and sealing of intention waning gibbous: gratitude third quarter: forgiveness waning crescent: surrender

you can use these meanings in many ways to help harness your own power and energy. i like to use the moon as a reference for my meditation, and what i plan to focus on for the time being of that lunar phase. a full moon, specifically, is perfect for cleansing crystals as the energy from the moon will help clear the energies of the crystals and recharge it with its positive energy. the release and sealing of intention that the full moon signifies will help when you give intention to your crystals before cleansing. <3

the mind is everything. what you think, you become: a guide to meditation ~

 what is meditation?

meditation is awareness. it is taking our attention away from the external world and bringing it into ourselves. it is a means of transforming the mind and training in awareness. it encourages and helps to develop concentration, clarity, emotional positivity, and a calm seeing of the true nature of things.

we only truly have control of our own self. with meditation, we can help to cultivate awareness of our own thoughts and actions in the present moment.

as a beginner, it may be difficult to focus and have a clear mind. just remember, it is okay for your mind to wander during meditation, you can’t expect it not to. by continuing to pull the focus away from your thoughts and onto your breath, you are training your mind to focus on the present moment. this will make it easier to do in your everyday life because your mind is used to it.

different types of meditation

concentration meditation:

begin by focusing on a single point. this can be the breath, repeating a mantra, staring at a candle flame or an object in the room, etc. continue to refocus your awareness as you catch your mind wandering to different thoughts.

this is the process of letting your thoughts go, and it will help you do the same in your day to day life. when you are put into a situation where something is upsetting you, or bothering you, you may find it easier to learn to let it go. this is a huge first step in healing any issue in your life… just let it go.

mindfulness meditation:

begin with a basic meditation (usually by focusing on the breath). observe your thoughts from an outsider perspective as they come to you. do not give them any attention, just observe them and be curious. if you find that you are becoming too aware of your thoughts, focus your attention back on your breath.

this technique helps you to see how your thoughts move in particular patterns. in your day to day life, this will help you to see how quickly the human mind likes to judge experiences and people.  with practice, you can be more mindful of this behavior and create an inner balance.

tips for meditation:

when i first begin to meditate, i like to spend a lot of time feeling where i am. i like to feel how i’m sitting, and be curious about why i’m sitting the way i am. is there a balance between the left and right side of my body? did i sit a certain way or have my hand in a certain place that is different than usual? i like to question these things to help be mindful and aware of my body.

next, i spend some time focusing energy to each part of my body, i start with my feet and work my way up to my mind. this allows me to be fully presently aware of my being. i begin by taking a few deep and cleansing breaths in for three seconds and letting them out slowly for three seconds. i like to use visuals in meditation as well. i imagine i’m standing at the tippy top of a cliff, surrounded by beautiful, rushing waterfalls. attached to me is a pair of beautiful white, angel wings. and as i am breathing in, the wings are lifting. as i breathe out, the wings close. i always end a meditation by beginning to focus on my body again. i start from my mind this time, and work my way down to my feet. this creates a balance between mind and body, and refocuses your self into your body.

don’t be frustrated if you find your mind wandering… that is exactly what it should do. just continue to focus on your breath each time your thoughts wander. with practice, you should find that this will happen less and less.
