@BryWisteria today I personally donāt have any real āthingsā to do today, but Iām lost right now. For 3 days my house was fullā¦ now Iām back to just me until around 1 PMā¦ the problem is Iām the first person awake, so I start puttering around the house before people are even leaving
So then I have no clue what to do or where to start some days. Itās the change in activity & routine that just get me sometimes.
@MeganB I can totally understand why you would feel that way too! Hopefully, it eases soon for you too. Iām happy right now with what I do, ultimately itās dividing my energy & getting through a regular day as I add things to my ever-changing routine. Someday I will have one that lasts more than a short amount of time I would think
@Amaris_Bane I second @BryWisteriaā¦ baby steps & remember even baby steps have a step or two back before they move forward again with their new information & skills to restart those baby steps Iām a big fan of them anyway
@Amethyst do you have some kind of petition to make it a week? I mean I think we could argue for a month if we really got some signatures
The post for the Thursday group ritual this week is now live in the forum! For more details as well as what ingredients to prepare, please check out the full post below:
Celebrating World Chocolate Day, this deliciously divine sweetening spell and combined meditation calls on the nature of chocolate to sweeten up a situation of your choice.
Both the magickal qualities of chocolate and the increasing ability of the Waxing Moon are being called on for this spell. Feel free to bring the chocolate (or alternative sweetener) of your choice!
When I started this Magickal journey (almost a yr ago) I was gettn bits and pieces of information. I think I started learning about crystals first then herbs, meditations etc.
Then all these beautiful truths began to paint a bigger picture for me and that is true power to change from within.
@Susurrus and @Amaris_Bane
Since we have been sans internet and cell phone signal for the last 7 days, we have gotten to much stuff cleaned out! We went and got a bunch of moving boxes and have just been going through a room at a time.
We moved in to my in-laws house after my mil died a few years ago to take care of the fil and my husbands blind elderly uncle. We had all of our stuff and all of their stuff, plus a bunch of their parentsās stuff. Itās a huge house and we still have a lot to clean out, but it feels so much better to see so much stuff go!
@Mistress_Of_Herbsā¦ I stayed far away from meditation, and breath work for as long as possible. I would outright refuse. However, after 2 years & not being able to sit through 3 minutes, Iām up to about 15 or 20 minutes.
There are 2 things that helped me one maybe 2 on YouTube:
Meditation in a Moment the actual video is 5 minutes long & a silly cartoon man. The āmeditationā part is exactly 1 minute. You could start there & work your way up!
Also the meditations & information from The Eclectic Green Witchery, she covers Benefits of Meditation & a slew of things witchy, meditation, self-care, potions, elements, colorsā¦ @SilverBear has done a wonderful job with her meditations & lessons or content She does a great job on her videos & meditations & when I was first attempting it, I used quite a few of hers. I can only do guided meditations though. I havenāt been able to do it with just music or sound. Iām getting there though!
Iād like to add a little mindfulness lesson here.
āI am horrible at meditationā Remember ā our words manifest ā we become what we think.
When you think or say, āI am horrible at XYZā You will be just that.
Mindfulness comes into play when you have that thought - stop - and reset the mindās way of thinking.
Instead of saying I am horrible at XYZ say ā I am powerful enough to make positive changes.
It takes practice to change your mindset and think in these ways. But the more you do itā¦the better you will become and it will become more ānaturalā.
I can do guided meditations. And ive done meditations by just looking at flames, but when ive wanted to only do 15 min theyāve turned into an hour and a half, time just flies away. Ive even set alarms. But ill try your suggestions. And ill be mindful of what @SilverBear said. U are both so right. I have to get out of my own way. And believe in myself. Its a hard process, when u have spent your whole life with ppl telling u that u are worthless.
Yesterday i also got told that im too nice, which allows others to walk all over me. I need to learn to say no. And believe that im worth it.
Iām a big fan of them anyway
