April 5, 2024 – Harnessing Hair Magic with Braids

Your hair is like your spiritual antennae. The strands sprouting from your crown constantly sense, channel, and attune to the energy around you. That’s why I like to say there are no bad hair days — just bad vibes! How you style your lucious locks can activate hair magic that manifests positivity and keeps negative energy at bay. 

Braiding is the perfect place to start. Braids aren’t just beautiful — they’re symbols of strength, wisdom, and unity that can intertwine with your intentions. As you style, you can set and seal an intention to wear throughout your day!

Here’s an easy way to create a braid that activates hair magic:

1. Anoint your hands: Choose a hair oil that resonates with the specific intention you want to set, and apply it to your hands in preparation. You could reach for lavender for calm, a few drops of rosemary for purification, rose for attraction, or lemongrass for more openness.
2. Begin your braid: Grab three small sections of hair near your face or the nape of your neck and interlace them. As you weave the strands together, visualize your intention intertwining with your braid, becoming more solid with each pass. If you want to manifest motivation, productivity, or inspired action, create a tighter braid. Stick with a looser, more relaxed braid to call in calm, peace, and serenity.
3. Seal your handiwork: Secure your braid with a ribbon or hair tie to seal your intention. Choose a shade that resonates with your intention for an extra dose of color magic! Or, repeat the process, adding multiple braids to your hair to unlock number magic.
4. Let it go: Keep your braid in until you no longer need it. When it’s time to take it down, picture negative energy falling away as your braid loosens and unravels. 

Rinse and repeat as needed! Braiding makes room in your routine for a mini meditative moment where you can get quiet, connect with yourself, and manifest. A few mindful minutes are all it takes to twist together a beautiful, physical reminder that your magic literally stems from you.

April 4, 2024 – The Numerology of 4/4: Laying a Foundation for Your Future

Happy 4/4…let’s get ready to build! The numerology of 4/4 is all about building a solid foundation for your dreams. 4 is a number that’s closely associated with the earth element and represents strength, dependability, perseverance, and planning. 

Today, 4/4, is the fourth day of the fourth month. It’s a powerful time to set intentions and prepare for the future. This day also holds early spring energies of new growth and new beginnings, encouraging you to awaken to fresh opportunities.

Here are 4 simple ways to work with the energy of 4/4:

1. Surrender your fears: Manifesting your dreams starts with the courage to take the first step. Step out of your comfort zone and do something that scares you. This could be sharing a hidden talent, striking up a conversation with a stranger, or speaking your ambitions into the universe.
2. Express your gratitude: Cultivating an attitude of gratitude is a powerful way to attract abundance into your life. Give thanks and leave room for the universe to work its magic on your behalf. 

3. Support your mental AND physical health: Building your empire requires strength, stamina, and a positive mental attitude. Make time to meditate today. Focus on your goals and activate the inner power you need to achieve them. Working with herbs like ashwagandha, bamboo, and balsam fir is also a great way to tap into your life force energy.
4. Write it down: More than anything, building a foundation for your dreams requires action. Sometimes just thinking things isn’t enough! Pull out your journal, put pen to paper, and write down your intentions. Putting thoughts into written word opens channels for your manifestations to take physical form.

The beautiful thing about 4/4 is that it’s just the beginning. Preparation is only the first phase in your journey! To get a jump on the manifestation magic of 5/5 next month, be sure to check our 5/5 Money Magic Set.

March 29, 2024 – Spring Cleaning — Energetic Edition

Yes, it’s that time of year again! We all want to throw open our windows and clear out the cobwebs of the winter season. However, there’s more to spring cleaning than sweeping, dusting, and decluttering. When you physically clean your space, all that stagnant energy gets kicked up too! That’s why it’s essential to energetically cleanse along the way — here are my top 3 tips for getting your home feeling fresh as a daisy:

• Play solfeggio sound healing frequencies while you work. Don’t know which one to pick? Check out this blog.
• Place a piece of selenite by the threshold of the main entrance of your home. This will help purify any energies that enter your space!
• Smudge with your favorite herb after you’re done tidying up. I always love sage, sweetgrass, and palo santo.

By clearing stagnant energy, decluttering, and infusing your surroundings with positivity, you create a harmonious environment conducive to growth, creativity, and well-being. Remember to trust your intuition, set clear intentions, and approach the process with mindfulness and gratitude. May your home be a sanctuary of love, light, and renewal as you welcome the vibrant energies of spring!

March 28, 2024 – Magical Morning Pick-Me-Up

A common magical practice to call in abundance is taking a pinch of cinnamon and blowing it over the threshold of your home on the first of the month. But what if I told you this doesn’t have to be limited to one day a month? 

Start off your day with a prosperous pick-me-up by brewing your daily coffee or tea with some cinnamon! Whether you mix it into your coffee grounds or sprinkle it in your cup, cinnamon adds a deliciously spicy twist that elevates your beverage to new heights. 

But the magic doesn’t stop there. As you take that first sip of your cinnamon-infused brew, visualize your intentions for the day unfolding with ease and grace. See abundance flowing effortlessly into every aspect of your life, from your relationships and finances to your health and creativity.

By incorporating cinnamon into your morning ritual, you’re not only treating yourself to a delightful flavor boost but also sending a clear signal to the universe that you’re ready to welcome abundance with open arms. So go ahead, sprinkle a little cinnamon magic into your cup each morning and watch as abundance manifests in the most delightful ways.

March 27, 2024 – Five Crystals to Survive Mercury Retrograde

This coming Monday (April 1), Mercury will station retrograde in the fiery, assertive sign of Aries. It’s a time to slow down and think things through carefully before making any major decisions or taking impulsive actions.

During Mercury Retrograde, certain crystals can offer support and stability. Here are five crystals to help you navigate this period:

Black Tourmaline: Known for its protective properties, black tourmaline can shield you from negative energies and electromagnetic radiation. It helps ground and stabilize your energy, keeping you centered during chaotic or challenging times.

Dream Amethyst: Dream amethyst is a mixture of amethyst and white quartz that connects you to the higher realms, your angels, and your spirit guides. It lessens resistance to change, helping you grow spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.

Lepidolite: Lepidolite is a natural, crystalized form of lithium that lightens moods, regulates emotions, and has a calming, relaxing, and easing effect.  Its calming and soothing essence brings balance and mental and emotional relief when you find yourself faced with the inevitable stress of life.

Amazonite: If you struggle with difficult conversations (who doesn’t?), amazonite opens the door to heartfelt sharing and heals unhealthy communication patterns. Because amazonite absorbs rough energies, it helps you to speak authentically — especially important when Mercury Retrograde can lead to misunderstandings.

Fluorite: Fluorite enhances mental clarity, focus, and concentration. It can help you stay organized and adapt to changes smoothly, making it easier to navigate Mercury Retrograde’s potential disruptions and challenges.

Keep these crystals close to you during Mercury Retrograde to harness their supportive energies and mitigate any potential disruptions. Remember to cleanse and recharge your crystals regularly to maintain their effectiveness.

March 26, 2024 – What is an Altar?

You hear us talk about altars all the time — but what are they actually for? Not just a pretty table to show off your gorgeous crystal collection, an altar serves as a sacred space that aligns with your unique beliefs and intentions. It acts as a personalized energy focal point, symbolizing your spiritual journey and providing a tangible place for rituals, meditation, and intentional manifestation. An altar is:

• A sacred space for spiritual connection
• A focal point for your energy & intentions
• An anchor for rituals & meditation
• A space to honor ancestors, guides & guardians
• A symbolic threshold to magic & higher consciousness

To learn more about how to create your own altar space, check out my blog here.

March 25, 2024 – Working Your Magic during Eclipse Season

Eclipse season has officially arrived! It seems we always hear what NOT to do around this time…but what about working with this energy to your advantage? An eclipse is like a cosmic spotlight, illuminating the unseen. Harness the magic this event brings with these 5 eclipse practices:

1. Get Grounded: During these transits, energy can feel somewhat chaotic. It’s times like this that grounding is essential! Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and drop your energy down into the earth, feeling yourself connect to the planetary core. 
2. Moon Water Scrying: Scrying is an ancient practice of staring into a reflective surface as a form of divination. Under the shadow of the eclipse, scrying is all the more powerful. During the eclipse, gaze into a bowl of water deeply, allowing the unseen to be revealed.
3. Light a White Candle: An eclipse reveals that which is ready to be released. Light a white candle (representing purity and cleansing) and gaze into its flame as you think of all those things you’re ready to let go of, feeling each of them burning away into the aether. 
4. Journal: Ponder these questions as you sit down to write: Where am I resisting change? What in my life is ready to shift and expand? As you write, allow the words to simply flow. Don’t think too hard — just let your subconscious lead the way. 
5. Pull a Card: Tarot and oracle cards are great ways to call on guidance. Choose a deck that resonates with you, and pull a single card, asking: “What wisdom does the cosmos have for me during this eclipse?” Consider how you can embody this message or the deeper meaning it holds for both your inner self and external life.
