A lot of people may be unfamiliar with the term "dressing candles", so I've decided to go over some simple information here so that you can use the basics to further manifest success in your daily life. Dressing candles is a very old practice that is used by many different cultures and belief systems. Every group has used this technique at some point or another. This adds to the symbolism of it because it can help you feel connected to the world around you as well as all of those who came before you. To properly dress a candle, you will obviously need to start with a candle. Bare minimum, you will also need some oil. I prefer using oils and herbs in my candle preparations, to make sure that I am using making my combination as potent as possible. This also ensures that i can clearly concentrate on my intention. I suggest using a candle that you feel like respresents the outcome of your goal, whatever you are trying to acomplish using the Law of Attraction. After ...

Spring is finally here! And, after being cooped up for months, many of us have noticed that our energy and metabolism have taken a hit. Dont worry though, there's something simple that you can use to help bounce back to your normal self! Introducing Lemon essential oil! Due to the powerful antioxidant content in lemon oil, it not only reduces inflammation and fights bacteria, but also boosts energy levels. Just the smell of lemon can give you a much needed boost during the day! When that lemon is in the form of pure lemon essential oil, you receive all of the health benefits as well. Lemon essential oil is also known to magnify lipolysis (the breakdown of fats) and raises norepinephrine levels in the body.  This makes it a powerhouse combination increasing oxygen and blood flow while utilizing fat stores in the body. This means that use of lemon essential oil can lead to more energy, improved metabolism, more effective workouts, and an overall better feeling of wellness. ...

Most of us deal with some sort of anxiety or self-consciousness when we speak in public. It's estimated that as much as 75% of the population struggle with some level of fear when dealing with public speaking. This is unfortunate news for those of us who have to speak in front of audiences, whether it's part of our job or a cause we're passionate about, or any multitude of reasons. When these situations arise, there's no need to let that fear and discomfort get to you. Consider getting an experienced Reiki practitioner to help you out! Since Reiki (and everything else) is energy, this gives us a huge advantage when we're in situations where we could benefit from assistance, but it's unrealistic to be able to recieve a hands-on session at that very moment. This is where long-distance Reiki comes in. Clients can schedule to recieve Reiki sessions during the time that they will be speaking in public, giving a presentation, or doing anything else where they ...

As a society, we are quick to assume an issue instead of accepting a difference. It seems that children are constantly being compared to each other and this can have devastating consequences. As the new school year begins, lets take a look at the details surrounding this issue. It's easy to become overwhelmed as a parent and when we see other parents who seemingly don't deal with any of the things that we do, it can be easy to wonder if what we are experiencing is normal. Add in that it seems everyone is determined to turn their child into a protege, so there's some serious competition in the mix as well. I see so many parents who have their very young children in multiple, structured activities. Then, when the child is overwhelmed and starts underperforming, words like disorder and deficent are thrown around. Its crucial that we allow our children to be children. A few activities can be wonderful, but the majority of the week filled with activity after activity ca...

There seems to be an unfortunate trend in today's society of individuals going about their day in sleepwear and yoga pants. Now before I discuss the issues with this, let me start by saying that this is not about judging people for what they wear. This is about how our individual choices affect us long-term as well as affecting those around us. There seems to be a focus on self-love and self-care lately and it is wonderful to see. What some don't seem to realize is that this is directly related to getting dressed in real clothes every day. When we wake up in pajamas, spend the day in pajamas, and then go to sleep in more pajamas; it can have a negative effect on our psyche. What is the message that we are telling ourselves? That we're not worth the effort? This can permeate other areas of our lives. If we can't muster the energy to get dressed, how can we find the energy to be social or have the motivation to reach for and attain our goals? Not to mention the fa...

I know that there are people who are genuinely not morning people. I used to be one myself. Then I started learning about subtle shifts that I could use to make all of the difference. How we start our day is crucial. When we first wake up, our bodies need time to reboot and generally speaking, most people don't get that time. If at all possible, when you first wake up, do some light stretching in bed or lay there for a minutes saying your positive affirmations. Above all else, wait to pick up your phone or device. The importance of mornings should be respected by being present. When you're present in the moment, you are ruling the day instead of the other way around. When your present in the moment, getting dressed, having your coffee or tea, helping your children, you get the opportunity to set a positive tone for the whole day. When your rushing around, stressing about the next thing that you have to do to be able to leave on time, it causes the day to be ruled by neg...
