This is my Weekly Witchy Challenge - Chaos Magick
Thee Magical Holistic You:: Body, Mind, Spirit,
The body: your physical self is composed of tissues, cells, organs, and complex systems allowing you to move and breathe.
The mind: your mental self is the essence of who you are, where thoughts, intellect, emotions, and imagination manifest.
The spirit: your spiritual self is an energetic realm where youāre able to access a deeper understanding, awareness, and inner wisdom of yourself and the universe.
These elements create a harmonious triangle capable of bringing the body into a balanced state. It is integral to maintain this balance through exercise for the body, regular stimulation for the mind, nurturing your magical practice for the spirit, and proper nutrition for all three. When your whole self is aligned and thriving, itās easier for your body to maintain this inner balance, the magical energy you put into each act will help get you there.
Taking steps to consciously integrate parts of your magical practice into your daily wellness rituals will help amplify the relationship among mind, body, spirit, and your magic. The more solid these connections, the more balanced you will be. There are many practical things a witch can do each day to help achieve this. For example, you can recite a spell while cooking a healthy meal, utilize the magic of herbs in a healing spell, perform a grounding ritual, or awake each day and give thanks to nature. These daily actions may seem simple, but they will enable you to reach new heights in your wellness and witchcraft practice.
Connecting to your inner magic is another important step towards creating this harmonious triangle of balance. The following ritual is one way to begin building this relationship. By connecting to your inner magic, you can start strengthening the ties among the three pillars of body, mind, and spirit.
Connecting with your inner magic is all about trusting and truly seeing yourself. To know yourself ā from the darkest parts to the brightest --is to be present and honestly connected. Learning to tune into this part of yourself is an excellent first step in your wellness journey. Come back to this ritual whenever you feel this connection needs strengthening. The more you perform this ritual, the easier it will become to access this part of; yourself on a regular basis.
You may wish to ground and center yourself before beginning this ritual.
Materials to Gather
- Yourself
- 1 blue candle for spiritual awareness and intuition
- 2 drops patchouli essential oil ( properly diluted) for personal growth
- 1 labradorite stone for self-discovery and transformation
- 1 hematite stone for grounding and calm
Steps to Take.
-
Find a quiet place where you can relax and sit comfortably
-
Light your candle. Anoint each wrist with a drop of patchouli oil.
-
Take one stone in each hand and close your eyes. Release any thoughts or feelings from the outside world. (for me I like to put o headphones).
-
Focus first on your physical self. Feel the energy in your body from your toes all the way to the top of your head. Become aware of how youāre feeling at this moment.
-
Take a large inhale, exhale, and let your body relax.
-
Visualize yourself sitting cross-legged on a vast crystal floor, the blue sky above and the sunshine glittering down on you. In the center of you emanates a bright white light. All around there are rainbow prisms reflecting off the floor from the sunlight. These rainbow prisms are reflecting into your center light, each o ne feeding you something different: intuition, inner wisdom, calm, balance, resiliency, love, everything that makes up your true self. Think on these prisms.What are they reflecting into you? Eack reflection is a part of your true self that makes up your inner magic and light. As the rainbows help bring each part of you to light, imagine they are cultivating as a collective whole inside your center. This is where your true self and inner magic live. Hold on to these prisms and focus o the balance and peace they bring to your whole self.
-
Stay in this visualization for at least 5 minutes. Use your intuition to trust when the exercise feels complete. You should feel centered and as light as air.
-
Before finishing, recite the following:
Inner magic, guide me strong,
inner light where I belong
Free me from thy ego self, and
let me see things clear.
My truest self fully formed.
allowing me to transform.
For now, I can fully see, as my will,
so mote it be.
-
Take a few deep breaths, curve your lips into a smile, and open your eyes. You may now extinguish your candle or let it burn down if safe to do so.
