Using Magical Aromatherapy to Create Change in Your Life ✨

While doing a Space Clearing at Wizard Studios yesterday, I was explaining the use of “Magical Aromatherapy” to the owners. After I clear a space, we always create an altar and set intentions for the home or business.

 Magical aromatherapy is the process of using the energies of essential oils and plants with our own. As you inhale the fragrance with visualization, you create a powerful force that may be perceived as magical. For example, as we released the old energy we used my Space Spray, in blessing a business I used my Magnet and Manifest Sprays, Love is always a go to for relationship rituals and Power is useful whenever you want to bolster your confidence and self-esteem.

I have noticed that all my millennial (and Gen Z) clients are asking me to give them some guided visualizations so I thought I would share how using this technique can empower you to achieve your goals.

THOUGHTS HAVE POWER

I first learned the power of visualization back in the early 80's (thank you Robert Fritz) and it totally changed my life. The concept behind it is that to create something new you must first be able to imagine it. 

Thoughts create vibrations that can be energized and qualified by our feelings. This process creates physical changes in our brains. It is a powerful way to create a strong force-field of energy that will send out a clear pattern of what you desire to manifest in your life. 

WHY VISUALIZATION WORKS

Remember that the brain cannot tell the difference between a mental image and an actual image. That is why in coaching we often say, "act as if". 

HERE IS A VIDEO  to guide you through the steps you require to create empowering visualizations for success and well-being at all levels of your being. 

On this note: please send prayers to Turkey - to help all those who have been affected by the earthquake.  Either use my Unplug Spray or use one of the following oils for Peace and protection: bergamot, chamomile, lavender, rose, jasmine, lemon balm, sandalwood and visualize healing energy being sent to everyone and to the land herself.

Until next time,

The Importance of Energy Clearing ✨

We are almost halfway between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox (February 2nd is Imbolc/Candlemas/Groundhog’s day). Forget looking at the groundhog’s shadow: this is a time to look at your own shadow and do some energetic clearing.

Every time you have an interaction with someone you create etheric cords of energy between you. The more time you spend with someone the stronger the cords may be. Healthy cords create a nurturing sharing of information and energy. Unhealthy cords can be a huge drain or a means of control.

When the cords are filled with fear, anger or resentment you need to cut them to take back your own energy. Think of times that you had a run in with someone and then felt totally drained of energy and needed a nap. It probably meant that they sucked energy  from you.

It is the same with buildings. I am sure you can remember a time when you entered a room where there had been a terrible argument or a sad occasion: you can literally feel it in the air.

For me space clearings are a way to clear out the stagnant energies in our personal living and business spaces that keep us stuck or cause us to take on negative thought patterns that we have either created or taken on from others. Especially when there is a major change in relationships (breakup or divorce), health, finances or you move into a new home or office. 

We all take baths and showers, clean out our physical space, do our laundry, but rarely take the time to clear out our energetic field. Once we do, then we can harmonize, revitalize, and balance the flow of energy for our energetic maintenance.

"Barbara did a space clearing at Sloomoo Institute, cleansing the energy of COVID and inviting in a fresh, healthy, new energy of abundance and joy. We literally sold out every weekend since and it has been truly beautiful - our guests have been full of pure happiness!" 
—Karen Robinovitz, Co-Founder at Sloomoo Institute

“I think of our theatre as a home, and every new production as a family. A ritual cleanse led by my friend Barbara Biziou is a great way to bring people together, as well as clear the space to usher in a new journey with added spiritual protection.” 
—Daryl Roth, Tony Award-winning Theatre Producer

“After I asked Barbara to clear the energy in my West Village apartment, I was very happy to find that my home felt lighter, happier and was finally able to sleep soundly. After this positive result I decided to try a clearing in our townhouse uptown which had been on the market for sale for 5 months. I am delighted to say that within 3 weeks of her clearing we had an offer on our house! And it’s closing in 6 weeks. I am a client for life!”
—Heather W.

“Throughout the whole process, she was extremely professional and helped me and my partner to clean & clear the energy in that Brooklyn townhouse. Believe it or not, it worked like magic! Several weeks later we had a contract signed and 2 months later we closed on that complicated estate sale. Thank you, Barbara! I am your client for life now when it comes to spiritual space clearing.”
—David Ratner, Real Estate Salesperson

Is It Time To Write A New Story For Yourself? ✍️

Last week I did a theater blessing for a new show called Between the Lines based on the novel by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer. Due to the breakout of COVID the show's opening had been delayed and the cast and crew were under enormous stress.

You know that I believe that Rituals have the power to bring order to the chaos in our lives and can instill a sense of shared purpose and experience. They anchor us and ground us in ways that can hold all the emotions that are present. In this case we were able to create a strong community that came together with a common vision. In my experience rituals allow us to perform at our best, because they help us stay calm when we're under pressure, create a sense of balance and reinforce our commitment to each other. It is an act of participating actively in our lives and therefore taking back personal responsibility for how we choose to live, with who we choose to share our experiences, and how we choose to define ourselves in our community and in our world.

The message of the play is simple: if you find yourself in a story that you don't like, write a new one. It talks about the power of choice and the importance of having supportive people around you that believe in the best version of you and are committed to your higher vision.

I highly recommend that you gift yourself a ticket to this amazing show. The cast is incredible, the set design beyond fabulous, the music inspiring, and the story speaks to our inner child to empower us to create the story we want to live in.

Ironically, I am in fact dictating this newsletter, because I had a fall and broke my right shoulder /arm. It is definitely not the story that I would have chosen, however, I am looking for the invitation that it is affording me to live a new story. And I wouldn't be able to do it without all the love and support of my friends, family, and community.

Join me next Wednesday on my Instagram live as I interview Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson who have written phenomenal music to Between the Lines, that you will want to sing along too and buy the soundtrack.

Until next time,
Barbara
