11/11/11: Rituals & Intentions for a New Life

By on November 3, 2011 in Creating your Life, Fun Stuff, Intentions, Meditation, Numerology

I discovered numerology years ago when I came across a book on numerology by Dan Milman called “The Life you were Born to Live”.

Numbers?  Really?  Yes!  I was utterly amazed at how precise and enlightening this science was.  Learning about numerology helped me learn more about myself and it gave me tools to create a better life.

I’m in no way an expert on numerology but from time to time I’ll take a peak into Dan’s or Glynis McCants’ book -the Number’s Lady- to get answers or guidance.  Numerology can help in different ways.  I use it before I hire new employees to see if they will be a match for the job :-) and it worked each time!

Getting a reading or numerology report from a professional can be very useful and fun!

Which brings us to the date 11/11/11

I was listening to the fabulous Glynis McCants on  Hayhouseradio.com with Miss Fabulosity herself Colette Baron Reid talking about the date 11/11/11 and this is what they said:

-11 is a master number

-11 carries Divine Energy for powerful changes

-11 is a portal to a new life, a time to shift.  On 11/11/11 make that times 3!!!

-11/11/11 is a perfect day to launch a business, partner up, start something new, set your intentions, make a new association or get married!

-11 means The Universe is open, the energy of the Divine is behind you, uplifting and transporting you: infuse this energy in your new venture or project!

-1+1 +1+1+ 2+0+1+1 = 8 means prosperity: don’t spend money on that day.  Keep it simple; simple can be great!

From now until Friday the 11/11/11 you have plenty of time to prepare:  write what you want to achieve-change-give birth to-enhance.  Write your  goals, create a new vision for yourself, a new vision for your life…  What to you want to bring with you in the new year 2012?  What do you not want to bring with you in 2012?  Prepare to let it go now and on Friday 11/11/11 do a ritual to celebrate your new life!

On that powerful day of 11/11/11 light a white candle, finish writing your intentions and surround yourself with white light.  Take your piece of paper and burn it outside to release it to the Universe or bury it to symbolically root/ground it to the earth.  Perhaps you can do a short meditation to connect with your higher self, maybe you get up in the morning and before you get out of bed you set your intentions for the day and the years to come?

Be creative and have fun!

A little secret…  I’m getting engaged on that day to my Sweetie :-) )))

Tuning out New York City + Bonus Meditation

By on September 21, 2011 in Energy Work, Fun Stuff, Meditation, Ritual

I just came back from a trip to New York city to purchase next Spring’s  collections for the store.  New York City is fun, busy, energetic & very intense so for someone like me who is super sensitive to energies NY can be TOO MUCH!

But much to my surprise something happened that I did not expect when I got there: I automatically shut down my psychic antenna!  My natural, automatic reaction to all this sensory overload was a SHUTDOWN!  I was therefore able to go around NYC, do my crazy busy shopping at the trade shows, run around town and not be bothered by all that was coming at and around me!

Or so I thought…

During the 5 days I was in the Big Apple I could not feel anything in the psychic sense.  Usually I get glimpses of other people’s energy or objects but in NY nothing.

Nada.

I though I had some kind of shield around me that made things bounce.  Well I should know better and this is why today I want to talk about 2 important rituals for claisentients:

1. putting up a protective shield

2. doing a psychic cleanse at the end of the day regardless of how tired you are :-)

 

Shielding yourself

I learned this technique a long time ago and there are many variations of it.  Here’s what you can do to put a protective shield around you:

(ideally you want to do a purification first)

-sit quietly and take a few deep breaths

-imagine a beautiful sparkling, pure white light coming from your Divine Self or from your heart center (more on connecting with your Divine Self here)

-see this light filling all the cells of your body, your skin, your organs

-keep breathing deeply and each breath absorb even more Divine white light

-imagine this beautiful light surrounding you as if you are in a cocoon of amazingly beautiful & pure white light

-the light fills you completely and it also surrounds you

-set the intention for this light to be a shield for any negative energies; only loving, pure energies can come in

Voilà!  You are shielded

End of day quick psychic cleanse

At the end of a crazy day take a moment to do this ritual:

-sit quietly and take a few deep breaths

-imagine a shower of white light coming from your Divine Self  pouring down over your energy body and cleansing away all impurities or any negative, draining energies that do not belong to you.

-this shower of white light is cleansing, soothing and purifying you

-all that has stick to you during the day is flowing away

-keep breathing deeply as you envision this cleansing process

-keep going until you feel lighter or until your mood has uplifted :-)

Et voilà!  You are cleansed!

In my excitement to visit NYC and all the wonderful busy stuff I had on my agenda I did not do yoga, meditate, purify, cleanse psychically or put up a protective shield.

Silly me.

The result?  I am physically drained and I have a stupid cold.  Yes I might have overdone it a little while in NYC; walked a million miles, ate a little too much, went to bed a little late BUT I could have protected myself a little better  had I done these 2 simple rituals.

Smudging: how to purify a space & yourself

By on September 14, 2011 in Fun Stuff, Ritual, Smudging

Smudging: have you ever heard about it?

For people who are sensitive to energies smudging is a necessity!

Just bought a new house?  Moved into a new place?  Smudge!

Not feeling fabulous?  Maybe a little down, pissed off or sad?  Smudge!  Clear the air!

Smudging is a great way to get rid of all the caca energies that don’t belong to you or that you don’t want to take on.  Who wants the stagnating, depressing energy from the ex owner of the house you just bought?    What if the couple that rented your new apartment used to fight a lot?  Don’t want that energy around you especially if you are working on attracting a new man in your life!  We have enough of our own stuff to deal with let’s not take on other people’s as well!

When I do readings I always smudge before the session and especially after.  It completely clears the air and leaves a fresh clean, light, neutral energy in the space.  I also use the ritual of smudging to clear my own energy field and clear anything I might have taken on from you.  I love you guys, I do, and because I care for you and feel your emotions fully when I do a reading I really need to let it go when we are done or I will get really really fat from emotional over eating!  :-)

What can be smudged:

- your home

- your work space

- an object

- a crystal

- a person

- a pet

 

So here’s how you smudge: get yourself a nice wand made of sage.  Here’s what they look like:

Sage smudge wand

You can get them anywhere online; just Google it.  Ideally the sage would be organic as well.

There are different types of herbs you can use to smudge but Sage is one of the most clearing one to use.

Extra bonus points if you light 4 white candles before you begin smudging. Place them North, South, East, West corner of a room.  The ritual of lighting white candles calls upon the Divine light of the Goddess for protection and purity.

As you light the sage stick affirm your intention to purify the space as well as yourself.  If you want you can call upon your protectors (Angels, Guides, Animal Totems) to assist you in the purification and clearing.  Intention is very powerful and is key in any ritual.  You might want to use a fire-proof container to collect the ashes as the sage is burning.  A shell is pretty and does the trick.

The smoke is what clears the energy and if you use a big wand it’ll make a lot of smoke so open all the windows and imagine all the negative energy leaving out the window.  Out with the old!

Go through each room (clockwise) in your house smudging and re-affirming your intention to have a pure, light & love filled space, commanding that any energies that are not serving your highest good leave out the window now.  I like the word commanding; it gives you full power to decide what you want in your house or in your energy field.

When you have smudged all the rooms you wanted say a little thanks to Goddess or your protectors and put out the stick.  I use sand or water.

Voilà!

Brand new, fresh, uplifting, clear energy!

A few more tips and tricks to clear your space or yourself

Taking an Epson salt bath with also clear your energy field.  I found a brand I really love called Invocation.  I’m in no way associated with them so I’m not making any money recommending this product!  I just adore it and think it’s super powerful.

At the store I do not use sage since I don’t want the clothes to smell like smoke.  I use a liquid smudge from Invocation.  It works very well, I can carry it in my purse and it smells lovely.

Another way of smudging without smoke is to use Epson salt, rubbing alcohol and fire.  In a fire-proof container (like a dish you would put in the oven) pour the Epson salt and cover with enough rubbing alcohol.  Make sure you are doing this safely and have a lid to put out the fire if necessary.  . With a long match light the mixture.  The flame will burn until all the negative energies have been burned away.  Choose I safe spot to put the container and  leave it there until the flame has extinguished.
