Better Instead of BitterWritten by Sam Stevens
I have been studying several books lately that deal with subject of attracting prosperity, well being and abundance to oneself -- partly as a refresher course for myself, but also partly because I was searching for answers for some of our clients in Realm. Lately in chat rooms, issue of how to overcome bitterness or loss is a big topic. How do you be 'better, instead of bitter' when life hands you what feels like a terrible blow; whether it be to your heart, to your pocketbook or very core of your soul? First of all it is important to remember that you are not alone. Nobody gets through life unscathed. Everyone faces disease, death, poverty, abandonment and heartbreak. However like old saying goes, 'it is not cards you have been dealt, but how you play them that counts'. (and I don't mean Tarot cards here, either, lol) After searching through several books here (some inspirational and some religious texts -- Zohar, Bible, Louise Hays, Sanaya Roman, Elizabeth Clare Prophet and Florence Scovel Shinn, I came to conclude that all of these masters, whether they be a channeller or a master or a disciple of a religion were saying one thing. 'Like attracts like.' Therefore if your heart is filled with resentment and bitterness, you will attract same. It is old 'sowing what you reap' thing from Bible. So it is very important, no matter what your experience, to keep yourself emotionally clean and to learn how to separate your feelings from 'what is really going on'. Hateful emotions such as obsession, jealousy and so forth block your connection to your higher self and prevent you from receiving your divine right -- which is that wisdom that is transferred down to you from a Higher Power for you to use to improve your life and raise your vibrations so you can attract good things. Apparently, unattractive or unpleasant experiences that we attract into our lives are result of a lack of faith in higher power that lives within each and every one of this. This lack of faith manifests itself in a desire to control or reluctance to let go. Dwelling on past (especially to happier times) is also a big block, as it creates a feeling of discontent that prevents you from connecting from wisdom of your inner self. Most religions, faiths and cults have their own version of concept of 'the Christ within'. This is called super-conscious and is energy that you want to be connected to. Most of us however are driven by energies of subconscious, which in a way, can be compared to fuel that drives a truck. This is a primitive and primal source that needs to be shaped and molded by your conscious mind to impress upon your subconscious that all will be well. If your conscious or every day mind is always trapped in a state of dread, anticipation, disappointment, fear, resentment or otherwise, than subconscious mind picks up on that an MANIFESTS that situation. So things get worse and you repeat patterns or situations that you would rather not experience again.
| | Magic BathroomWritten by Sam Stevens
Believe it or not, bathroom is one of most magickal rooms in your house; Your make up box and medicine chest can be treasure chest of tools , bathtub and shower are wonderful place to conduct cleansing and attraction rituals, and toilet can be a handy mechanism for flushing away negativity.Here are some examples of positive magick that can be performed in your powder room. First of all, though make sure your bathroom is clean and also make sure that you donšt have a mirror facing or reflecting any drains or toilets. Feng Shui wisdom says that this doubles your chances of having your money go down drain. Would you like to attract a life long partner? Wiping down your mirror with a mixture of Rose Water and Orange Blossom water (found in most speciality cooking stores) is said to make you attractive to opposite sex. If you donšt have that, using your favourite perfume might work just as well... You can also practice a little feng shui around your bathtub to attract a partner, by placing two rubber duckies in southwest corner of tub. Ducks represent mates in Chinese lore. You can also buy little glasses and soapdishes that already have little ducks floating inside them if you want to be more subtle... Need to do well in that job interview. Spearmint (a herb ruled by mercury) is supposed to make you more eloquent, witty and charming. Toothpaste or mouthwash flavoured with spearmint might help you find exactly right words to say to impress your boss. Trying to win heart back of that difficult ex boyfriend? Carve his initials into a bar of soap. It is best if soap bar is pink or red in colour. Picture soap as being hostility or issues between you, and as soap dissolves, as you rub it all over your body, picture all resentments and hatred between you getting smaller and smaller. An advanced version of this spell would be to actually carve it in shape of person, carve initials and run it under tap on and off for a couple of days until bar is completely dissolved.
