Spiritual Practices to Close 2024 and Step into 2025 🎇

Take a deep breath as we come to the end of 2024. Think of it as a sacred pause between what was and what will be. The end of the year isn’t just a date on the calendar; it’s an opportunity to reflect, recalibrate, and realign with your deepest purpose.

Release and Let Go: Cultures around the world end the year by purifying with water, fire, air, and earth. On a piece of paper, take the time to write down your feelings of anger, disappointment, fear, and frustration. Then burn baby burn! Or do a purification bath in sea salt, bury a symbol of what you want to release in the earth or shout out your feelings in a song or chant.

Purify your Space: Open your windows and walk around your home and ring a bell to break up any stuck energy. Then light a smudge bundle (cedar and sage) or some of my Space Spray or fresh lemon in spring water and walk around a second time purifying the space. 

Forgive Forgive Forgive: Let go of grudges and unresolved anger. The month of January was named after a mythical king by the name of Janus - a 2-faced god associated with transitions and new beginnings. He was also believed to be a forgiving deity so one of the customs of the time was to ask forgiveness to anyone you had caused harm to. I recommend that we all do this and include ourselves in the mix. Open your heart to yourself and others.

Rituals to Start off the New Year

Rituals to Start off the New Year

Set Intention to Spread the Light:

Take a candle and carve the word UNITY on it. Sit for a moment and think of what that means to you. Can you imagine a world where caring for each other was the norm? What would it be like if each person’s main job was simply to share his/her/their unique gifts and talents?

Light the candle and imagine this light going out into the world. As you add your light to the world, know that we are each custodians for the planet and each other.

Wear Special Colors to amplify your intentions:

  • Red: Calls in and amplifies love in your life.

  • Yellow: Associated with wealth and prosperity. 

  • Green: Associated with luck, nature, life, and adventure. 

  • Blue: Associated with health, wellness, and prioritizing your health. 

  • Black: Associated with power, taking charge, and regaining control. 

  • Pink: Associated with love, friendships, and fostering a harmonious atmosphere. 

  • White: Associated with happiness, peace, and joy. 

  • Purple: Associated with power. 

  • Gold, bronze, and silver: Associated with being bold and shining.

Barbara’s Favorite Prosperity Ritual 

For good luck and prosperity in the coming year, some cultures throw money into the house the first time that they enter after the New Year has begun. If you are staying home, go to your front door any time after 12:01 and throw coins into the front door. Imagine that each coin holds an intention for the year: prosperity, health, love, a new project.

You can also do this for your office. When I plan on going out for New Year’s Eve, I usually leave a bowl of coins outside my front door to remind me to do this ritual. Watch Video Here.

Wishing you all a New Year filled with peace, prosperity, joy, love, health and all good things!

REMEMBER:
SOMEONE OUT THERE NEEDS YOU
SO LIVE  YOUR LIFE SO THAT THEY CAN FIND YOU.

Honoring the Divine Feminine: Rituals for Navratri 🌟

We are currently in the sacred Hindu festival of Navratri (nine nights of the Goddess), which honors Shakti, the Divine Feminine. During this time, we seek spiritual cleansing, guidance, and enlightenment from the Divine Mother. Whether you practice this traditional holiday or wish to connect with the Divine Feminine energy within you, these next few days are powerful for transformation.

Navratri Breakdown:

 We have just finished the first 3 days where we focused on the goddess Durga- inner power and strength. If you wish, take some quiet time to reflect on her ability to help you navigate daily conflicts and awaken within you the spiritual power that you require currently.

  • October 7-9: Focus on Wealth, Love, and Generosity
    Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, guides us during these days. Take a moment to write down the qualities you want to embody—whether it’s kindness, abundance, or love. Select one to focus on each day and make it part of your practice. If you want to dive deeper, I will be doing a special Prosperity Activation on Tuesday, October 8th. See upcoming events.

  • October 10-12: Tap into Your Inner Wisdom
    As we shift to Sarasvati, the goddess of wisdom, reflect on what teachings or insights you wish to gain. Journal, chant sacred mantras, or write poetry. Commit to taking one action each day that aligns with your spiritual goals.

Mantra for Wealth and Fulfillment:

Invoke the energy of the Divine Feminine by chanting the powerful mantra: OM KLEEM SHREEM HREEM SWAHA.

Repeat this mantra 108 times—whether broken into smaller sets or in one sitting—to call in beauty, wealth, and the fulfillment of your deepest desires.

How Rituals Can Transform Your Life

Thursday night’s Summer Solstice Ceremony affirmed for me how crucial coming together in community is. Men and women from the US, Europe, Canada, and other countries came together to release old stuck energy and open to new possibilities. It was magical.

I am convinced that the need for ceremony is embedded deep within our DNA. By reclaiming ritual in our lives, we reclaim our power, enhance our transitions, strengthen our connections to others, and move into wholeness. Engaging in ritual allows our minds to expand, our moods to change, and our spirits to rise.

I am always amazed when I am with a group of people, no matter where in the world, how eager they are to engage in ceremonial practices, even if they have never done anything like it before. Many have already manifested their visions!

If you haven’t done it already, now is the time to make a sacred vow to yourself.

Create Your Own Ritual

Find a Quiet Space: Take some quiet time where you will not be disturbed.

  1. Set Your Intention: Think of the qualities that you would like to enhance in your life.

  2. Craft Your Symbol: Take a piece of red or gold string and tie 5 knots in it. Each knot should represent one quality you want to embody.

  3. Wear Your Intention: Tie the string on your wrist and wear it until it falls off naturally.

Join Us for Transformative Ceremonies

I invite you to join me in creating and experiencing powerful rituals that can transform your life. Whether you are new to rituals or looking to deepen your practice, our community is here to support you. 

Share this newsletter with friends, follow me on IG and LinkedIn and help us build a vibrant community of individuals committed to living with intention and purpose.

Embrace the Equinox: Renewal, Rebirth, and Self-Nourishment 🌱✨

As I wandered through the blooming magnolias of Seattle today, I couldn't help but feel the whispers of spring in the air—the gentle breeze carrying promises of rebirth and renewal. Can you feel it too?

With the vernal equinox upon us, we stand at the threshold of balance, where light and darkness harmonize, symbolizing new beginnings and endless possibilities. Despite the chaos and confusion in the world, nature offers us solace, reminding us of the cyclical nature of life and the promise of growth.

In this season of emergence, let us embrace the energy of renewal with a simple yet powerful ritual, designed to nourish our spirits and ignite our aspirations.

Nourish Yourself: Begin taking 6 pomegranate seeds (or any other ones), each representing a facet of your being:

  1. A seed for self-nourishment and self-esteem.

  2. A seed for creativity, passion, and vitality.

  3. A seed for compassion and gentleness of spirit.

  4. A seed for letting go and embracing wholeness.

  5. A seed for wisdom and understanding.

  6. A seed for honoring the cycles of life.

As you savor each seed, feel the energy coursing through you, awakening new potentials and possibilities. With one hand on your heart and the other on your belly, breathe deeply, grounding yourself in this moment of transformation.

Now, envision the life you desire—health, wealth, happiness, and success. Feel the warmth of love surrounding you as you embrace this new state of being.
To solidify this vision, craft a personal affirmation that resonates with your soul:

  • "I am loved and appreciated just for being me."

  • "I am abundance personified."

  • "I am wise, compassionate, and abundant in all aspects of my life."

  • "I am healthy, wealthy, and wise, embracing the beauty of every cycle."

Let this affirmation be your guiding light as you step into this season of growth and renewal.

May this equinox bring you balance, joy, and endless possibilities!

Share your affirmations with us! We'd love to celebrate your journey of self-discovery and growth together.

Beyond Stereotypes: Embracing the Nuances of Feminine Energy

As we celebrate Women's History Month, I'm excited to delve into the timeless archetypes of the feminine. These archetypes, far beyond mere biological roles, resonate with us at different stages of our lives, guiding us on our journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

I've personally witnessed the transformative power of these archetypes through stories like Malala Yousafzai, who embodied the Amazon archetype in her courageous fight for girls' education, or my mother’s friend Gert, who embraced her Maiden energy with zest and vitality by taking up belly dancing at the age of 90. And you do not have to be a mother to birth a new project or business.

My dear friend and spiritual sister, Deborah Roth named them FemTypes. And we have explored many of them in past workshops and rituals.

Malala Yousafzai (photo by masala.com)

Let's take a closer look at each archetype:

Maiden: Symbolizing new beginnings and potential, the Maiden archetype embodies innocence, inspiration, and ambition. It's a time of dynamic energy and clear thinking, ripe with possibilities and fresh perspectives. 

Mother: Nurturing and creative, the Mother archetype represents fullness and compassion. It's a phase of nurturing and caring, where we find fulfillment in supporting and guiding others, fostering a sense of community and connection. 

Amazon/Queen: Assertive and powerful, the Amazon/Queen archetype exudes authority and passion. It's a time of intense focus and magic, where we harness our inner strength and intuition to shape our destiny and influence the world around us. I feel that I took on this energy when I started doing my IG lives and retreats.

Crone: Wise and introspective, the Crone archetype embodies wisdom and transformation. It's a period of deep introspection and release, where we embrace the unknown and draw upon our inner resilience to navigate life's challenges with grace and wisdom. 

As you reflect on these archetypes, I invite you to consider where you are in your own journey and how embracing these energies can unlock new possibilities in your life.

You also may be called to do a ritual to honor and embrace one or more of them. Reach out to me if you want to go deeper in your exploration.

Now, I'd like to extend a special invitation to you to join me on an unforgettable journey to India this September, where we'll dive even deeper into the energy of the Divine Feminine. Through meditation, journaling, ceremonies, and sacred rituals, we'll tap into the ancient wisdom of this land and awaken the full potential of the Divine Feminine within ourselves.

What I learned from my first Spiritual Teacher

In the dance of creation, shedding the old is an inevitable step towards welcoming the new. Embracing change is not just a choice; it's the catalyst for unlocking your true potential. Here is what I learned from my first Spiritual Teacher that helps me navigate change. 

1. The Power of Letting Go: Transforming Anxiety into Excitement
Saying goodbye to the past can be both thrilling and nerve-wracking as we navigate the unknown. Remember, you cannot outperform your old self-image. The past is over, and the canvas for your future masterpiece is waiting to be painted.

2. Dive into the Ocean of Light: A Technique for Renewal
I invite you to try a rejuvenating technique inspired by my teacher, Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov. Find a quiet space, lie down, and imagine sinking into an ocean of light. Feel the tension leaving every cell of your body as you recharge your batteries for 3-5 minutes. It's a simple yet profound way to soothe your nervous system and open yourself to change.

3. Commit to Transformation: Guiding Your Desires into Reality
Making a commitment to your Higher Self is the first step towards manifesting your desires. As you embrace change, you'll be guided to the best possible path for your journey. And the fastest way to do this? Through support – spiritual, emotional, and physical.

4. Triad of Support: Elevate Your Journey

  • Spiritual Support: Align with your Higher /Wisdom Self, Spirit, The Quantum Field. A Seek the company of spiritually uplifting individuals who speak the truth and propel you forward.

  • Emotional Support: Embrace the power of vulnerability. Share your journey with those who genuinely care and understand the depths of your aspirations.

  • Physical Support: Form partnerships with those who possess the knowledge and resources needed to breathe life into your vision.

5. Unlock New Possibilities: Seek Support and Soar
 Every request for help sets new possibilities in motion. Don't shy away from seeking the support you need. In the synergy of shared wisdom and energy, you'll find the keys to unlock doors you never knew existed.

6. Subject Yourself to Change and Emerge Stronger!
Remember, change is not the end; it's the beginning of something extraordinary. Commit yourself to the transformative power of letting go and emerge stronger, more vibrant, and ready to manifest your vision.
Here's to your journey of transformation!

Invoke The Energy Of The Great Mother For Comfort And Protection

This week we have 3 powerful goddesses who are said to visit the earth plane to help fight our internal and external battles during the Hindu Festival of Navratri.

It is believed that this is the time when the Shakti power is most available for protection, destroying dark forces and obstacles, bestowing supernormal perception, and giving us health and abundance.

No matter what your religion, this is a powerful time to invoke the energy of the Great Mother for the comfort and protection you require during these turbulent times.

The three goddesses celebrated at this time are:

DURGA: Powerful aspect to release negative and destructive energy. Let her light your source of internal power to clear out toxic habits, thoughts, and patterns both personally and globally.

LAKSHMI: She represents both the physical aspects of wealth and the ability to use it to contribute great worth to the world. 

SARASWATI: Goddess of enlightenment and spiritual wisdom. She guides you to discern right from wrong and to activate your powers of communication.

Meditate on these aspects this week and see what comes to you.

This is the general Navaratri mantra you can chant each night if you feel called. Do it 108 times with devotion and intention.

OM AIM HREEM KLEEEM CHAMUNDAYE VICHCHE SWAHA 

AUM   AYM   HREE-M   KLEE-M   CHA-MUN-DAYEE   
                          VISHAY- SHA  - SWA-HA

Currently, there is an unusually large amount of emotional and mental energy that is congesting and creating disturbances in our bodies and homes. It is important to clear out this energy so that positive energy can flow into your body, home, and place of business.

If you would like to schedule an energy clearing, please reach out to me. Clearings can be done in person, via Zoom or FaceTime.

Until next time,

Connecting With Spiritual Resources During Violent Times🕯️

As I was watching the horrific violence in Israel and Palestine this weekend, I realized that I was taking on the sadness, anger, overwhelm and hatred that was occurring in the Middle East.

There is no easy answer to this situation when terrorists commit horrendous acts of violence against men, women, and children. 

Yet, it is crucial that we clear our energy of this collective horror so that we can move into whatever constructive action we are called to do. For some of us, it is prayer, for others donating money, volunteering, and/or taking political action.

First: Give yourself time to grieve. Then when you feel ready, clear your energy field by calling in the Violet Flame, offering your pain to the Earth, screaming out your frustration, taking a bath or shower in sea salt or any other means that work for you. It is crucial to take care of your anxiety so it does not get stuck in your physical body and make you sick. 

Second: Connect to your Higher Self to access the higher frequency you require to stay connected and present. Breath work, meditation, prayer, a consistent spiritual practice, and movement can help.

Third: Pray for Peace. I want to share this from One Spirit:

We grieve for all those who have been killed, we pray for comfort and solace for their loved ones, we pray for healing for those who have been wounded or injured, we pray for shelter for those who have been forced to flee their homes, we pray for the safety and the safe return of those taken hostage. We pray for the wisdom and courage that have so far eluded us to resolve the underlying and ongoing conflicts that explode into violence again and again. We pray for some way to undo the generations of hate and strife that cause people to see others as less than human.

Fourth: Become a warrior/warrioress for restoring peace in the world.

This weekend we have a New Moon/Libra Solar Eclipse and the beginning of the Hindu Festival of Navratri (9 nights of the goddess).

On Sunday, I will be doing a special ceremony to align us to the power of the goddess Durga- She is a warrior goddess who represent the Power of the Universe and our own power- something that is truly needed at this time of chaos and strife. We will also honor the goddess Lakshmi to bring in the wealth and love we require as well as celebrating the goddess Saraswati to connect us to true spiritual wisdom  and the ability to communicate it to the world for good.

Being in a supportive community can hold us up and give us the resources required during this difficult time.

And a happy Thanksgiving to our friends in Canada who celebrated yesterday.

Surprising ways The Universe sends you messages 🦉

In many traditions, divinations are made around the end of the year or a new season. We ask what do the deities have in store for us and how are we to conduct ourselves. As we move into this new Fall Season, I suggest you open to receiving information from The Universe by noticing which animals appear to you.

First, take a moment to set your intention that an animal spirit (or spirits) will appear to you. Now go outside and see what catches your attention. 

You may be surrounded by dogs going for a walk (loyalty, protectors) or notice an Eagle in the distance (ability to see above the mundane, vision). Maybe you hear frogs (cleansing of spirit) or see a hummingbird (joy, celebration). Don’t discard the smaller ones like spiders (creativity) or ants (strength and willpower). 

Just pay attention. You may also notice animals on posters or on a t shirt that someone is wearing.

Once you receive your animal guide, sit quietly and journal about what messages you are being given. If you want, you can always look up the spiritual meaning later the internet.

Now act on whatever guidance you have been given.

The Lions Gate Portal Culmination ✨

Today is 8/8: the culmination of the Lions Gate Portal and a great time to focus on opening your heart chakra to activate and unlock all the codes in your body as you receive  the downloads for abundance, wisdom and love coming into our planet currently.

My teacher Brugh Joy always said that transformation only can occur through the heart center, and I share that belief with him. He taught us that if we connect to the attributes of the heart each day, miraculous states of consciousness can occur. They are:

Unconditional Love: this is beyond personal love, there is nothing you must do to deserve it, it is your birthright.

The Healing Presence: the ability we all have to bring healing into our lives and to share with others.

Compassion: opening to gentleness and kindness for ourselves as well as others.

Start by putting your right hand over your left on the center of your chest (heart chakra)

  1. Inhale to the count of 2 through your nose

  2. Exhale slowly though your mouth allowing your breath to  drop into your heart. 

  3. Say to yourself, "I love you”, “ I accept you”, “I appreciate you.”

  4. Continue until you can feel the truth of these words.

  5. Imagine that you can connect to each attribute of the heart center as you breathe in and out.

  6. Smile.

Allow this energy to clear out any old sorrow, anger and trauma that has kept you from living in love, joy, and abundance.

For additional support you may want to listen to my Chakra Clearing, Healing Emotional Pain and Self Forgiveness Meditations.

Barbara

The Violet Flame: Transmute Negative Energy

Monday’s New Moon in Cancer is asking us to look at how we are spending our time, energy, and money. However, be aware that you may be feeling extra sensitive and more emotional than normal, so find ways to take care of yourself by being in nature, doing things that bring you joy, and focusing on ease.

Personally, this has been a very emotional time for me: two of my friends have lost siblings in the past few days, which bring up a lot of vulnerability for me. It reminds me, once again, that time is precious, and it is important to reach out to those you love while we can. 

When I feel my monkey mind beginning to spin out, I always use the VIOLET FLAME. For those of you who are not familiar with this concept, the Violet flame is a combination of the Divine Masculine’s Blue flame of divine will, power, protection and authority and the Divine Feminine pink flame of Divine love, oneness, and reverence for life. It can transmute back into Light all fear, worry, trauma, anxiety, negativity, and lower frequencies. Evoke this Sacred Flame daily.

VIOLET FLAME INVOCATION

In the name of the I AM Presence I now call forth the violet Transmuting Flame to be activated and surround every thought, feeling, word, action, memory, or belief that I have taken on or have created that is reflecting anything not of perfect Love, Harmony, and Abundance. Release, consume, cause and effect so I may be free.

With deep gratitude, I now ask for the action of the violet Flame to manifest in my energy fields right now and continuously.

As always, I am available for personal intuitive tarot readings and rituals to guide your way.

Until next time,
Barbara

Life is not Amazon Prime

I have noticed that a lot of people want to do a ritual for prosperity, healing, love etc., but think that it works like Amazon Prime: do a ritual and get instant results. Now I know that this can and has happened, however it is rare.

Rituals open the door to new energy and then it is up to you to walk through it consciously. That takes the awareness that changing a habit or belief system takes consistency and time. In fact, most habits take approximately 66 days or more to shift. 

As we have learned from Neuroscience, nerve cells that fire together, wire together. The key to change is to disentangle from the old programs and that may involve feeling uncomfortable for a while as you move forward.

Time Delay: there is also the concept of time delay that I learned years ago from Robert Fritz. Imagine you decide to get healthy today and change the way you eat and exercise. You begin a new regime and then in a few days weigh yourself. OOPS…you find you gained 2 pounds. Does this mean the new regime is not working? Well, you forgot that last week over the holidays you ate twice or three times as much as normal and hardly went to the gym. It is the past catching up with you. IF you continue your new regime, you will eventually build a healthier and more resilient body.

My advice: be gentle with yourself when you are shifting lanes and take small consistent action steps daily to move you in the new direction that you have chosen. Let your future vision define who you need to become. Connect emotionally to this new future. This can be done through ritual, meditation, and visualization. And surround yourself with supportive people who will encourage you on your journey.

To dive deeper into this: contact my office to discuss the best plan to move forward.

Manifesting Using "I AM" Presence

Many people have asked me what I mean when I say “I AM“ so I thought this was a good time to explain how this powerful concept can be used to create.

When you say or think “ I AM” you are connecting to God in Action or the creative force of the Universe. When you then follow it with a quality (I AM healthy, I AM abundance , I AM peace, I AM love), it becomes a manifestation in the world and takes form in the physical plane.

So, as I sit here writing this newsletter overlooking the Intracoastal in Delray Florida, I can honestly say, I AM BLESSED. 

On that note, I am off to the beach for a swim!

Until next time,
Barbara

49-Day Spiritual Practice From Liberation To Revelation

My friend Liz and I are doing the Jewish spiritual practice of counting the Omer. It begins on the second night of Passover and ends on the Holiday of Shavuot – when G-d gave the Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai.

Think of it as a 49-day spiritual practice from liberation to revelation. We open to the gifts of spirit and align our soul’s purpose with the good of the world.

Each morning during your meditation, ask yourself these questions:

How can I soften my heart?

Where am I still holding on to things and relationships that do not resonate with the person I am becoming?

How can I best express my strengths and passions?

Consider these offerings as a place to begin and then see what comes for you…

Remember: Right now, is the most powerful time in your life. Right now, you are creating your future.

Until next time,
Barbara

My Prayer For You 🙏

Sunday I met my friend Agapi for lunch, and we were discussing her new book, Speaking With Spirit: 52 Prayers to Guide, Inspire, and Uplift you. Agapi shared with me a pivotal time in her life when she was going through a challenging time. At a New Year’s Eve retreat, instead of sharing his wishes for the year, her spiritual teacher John Roger began praying for her. For the first time in ages, she felt seen, acknowledged, and loved.

At that moment, a light bulb went off. I realized that I always pray for others no matter what the situation, but when I ask others to pray for me, I only ask for prayers for potentially life-threatening situations like going into surgery, or life altering events like the death of a loved one. Occasionally, I will ask for prayers before doing a super important event like being on network television or teaching a large workshop.

What I don’t do is ask for prayers for myself that involve nurturing my inner child or taking my teachings out into the world with abundance, support, and joy. In other words, the day-to-day things that make up my life.

As I shared that aha with Agapi, she took my hands in hers and began to pray for me. Tears filled my eyes and I felt cushioned in the energy of that love and caring.

As Agapi says in her book, “Let us never underestimate the power of our prayers to help us support one another.”

My prayer for you as we enter this new season and energetic New Year.

Mother Father God,

I ask that all who read this be able to release into the Light all feelings of overwhelm, hurt, fear, anxiety, anger, and sadness. May their hearts be open to compassion and love knowing that violence is never the best recourse.

I call forth the Power of Divine Love to be magnified within our hearts and world daily.

May all connect with all the people, projects and support they require to walk this spiritual path with practical feet.

I ask for this for the highest good of all concerned.

So be it.

Work with me:

Let me be your guide as we walk into this new future together.

>> Book a reading to connect you to wisdom available to you.
>> Book a ritual to let go of the old mindset and bring in the new vision or simply to celebrate a joyous occasion.
>> Book a coaching package—plug into your truest self with new tools to navigate the tsunami of energy and uncertainty in the world.

Until next time,
Barbara

The Real Meaning of Groundhog's Day

Millions of people will be tuning in on February 2nd to find out if the groundhog will see its shadow. This is based on an old Pennsylvania Dutch legend that says if the groundhog sees its shadow, we will have 6 more weeks until Spring.

Guess what? February 2nd is the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox and has been celebrated as Imbolc for centuries. No matter what this groundhog sees, spring is still 6 weeks away.

Imbolc, an ancient early spring fire celebration honors the goddess, Brigid. She is an aspect of the feminine who represents healing, childbirth, creativity, poetry, and smithing. She reminds us to connect to what is stirring inside of us that seeks to grow. She also asks us to look at our own shadow and what we need to integrate to make us whole. As we discover what is unknown or ignored, we can enter a healthy relationship with our disowned selves.

True shadow work is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves but may require a trusted guide to move us through this path consciously. Here we can reclaim undiscovered abilities, buried emotions and expanded vitality.

This is also a time of spiritual renewal and rededication to your spiritual path.

RITUAL


1. Light a Candle
2. Anoint it with a few drops of your favorite essential oil
3. Write a personal Vow to reaffirm your commitment to yourself and your spiritual path
4. Say the vow out loud
5. Place it in an envelope and put away until next year

Until next time,
Barbara
