Power vs Powerless seems to be a huge theme at this time. Who has the power? What and who do we have power over? What can we control and what is out of our control? These are the questions underlying everything at this time.
So, although I cannot tell anyone what to do, I do know that creating rituals for yourself can help you reduce the feeling of being powerless in these uncertain times.
The story I often tell in my workshops involves the wife of an Alaskan gold prospector back in the 1920s. The story goes that she was alone on an island while her husband went searching for gold. During this time an avalanche struck and she was stranded. Pregnant and wounded she made her way back to her cabin.
As her life sustaining ritual, she started a journal for her unborn child and began preparing for the birth. She turned an otter skin into a wrap and even wound up delivering her own child. After her baby was born, she created a baptism calling in the local deer to witness it.
Whether this was true of not, the moral of the story is: creating rituals can make you proactive rather than reactive and can give you the hope and focus you need to move forward during challenging times.
Since the brain reads a ritual and “real experience” as the same, you can create more resources to move you in the direction you desire to go.
Set an intention and then do something that teaches your brain a positive new way of being. It can be as simple as cleaning out one drawer, saving $3 a week, doing 5 sit-ups a day. Remember the brain doesn’t know the difference between you saving $3 and a million. It just knows that you had an intention to save and you did. Success!!!
Many of you use my Magical Aromatherapy sprays for your rituals. These are some suggestions: Try Unplug to get a better night’s sleep, Happiness and /or Love boost your joy factor, Protect and Manifest before you start a Zoom meeting, Grounded as you leave your house, Magnet to bring in more abundance, Space to clear any negative energy you have taken on or created and Power to activate your inner leader.
If you find yourself slipping back into negative thinking try this:
1. Put your attention between eyebrows. Tap with your ring finger around the third eye chakra three times;
2. Say “cancel clear”;
3. Visualize a new more positive vision.
For a great new positive ritual, join me every Tuesday at 5 pm EDT for my FB Live. This week I will also be combining a Cutting Negative Cord/Karma Clearing Activation with my regular Building Spiritual Resiliency.
Many Blessings,
