THE SACRED PAUSE
Shadow Work Tool #8.

Something I encourage all.the.time.

The Sacred Pause will change your life. In many ways.

Want to know how to listen to your intuition more?
How to make decisions that keep you in alignment more?
How to show up as the most soul aligned version of self?
How to engage in conflict in an empowered way?
How to step into self mastery and control your emotions? 

TAKE A SACRED PAUSE. 
All the time. Take as many of these as you need. This is your permission slip to give yourself just a moment. (What I really want to say here is, "give yourself just a damn second for crying out loud!") 

And how do we do that?
How do we suddenly make this kind of space for ourselves when we've not done so before? 

Simple. (Yet, sometimes mindfulness is not so simple, because we are human and we sometimes forget!) 
Create a grounding technique. A tool or process that gives you just a second to breath, to tap in energetically and intuitively, and to think things through.

Don't be afraid t...

Shadow Work & Witchcraft aren’t going to cure your depression.
But it will help you understand it, sit with it, prepare for it, alchemize it, manifest with it. 

All the tools in your healing tool kit may not ever really “cure” it.
Manifesting, having all the money, time, and resources in the world also won’t make depression or anxiety magically go away for good.

You see, while we are spirit and soul, we are also humans, here to have human experiences. 

That means we cycle through the emotional wheel. We have ups and downs.

Sometimes it’s love and light, sometimes it’s rage and sadness.  

I turned my life around. I manifested a wonderful relationship, friends,community,  self-confidence, travels, investments, a business I love, money, weight loss, self-love, and more. I am pretty damn good at manifesting when I put my mind to it, if I do say so. 

I went from being miserable in every aspect of life, to manifesting all the things I really truly desired. It was a pretty magical...

Whenever there is something you want to change- a belief, your mindset, patterns, behaviors, toxic relationships, abundance levels- whatever it may be, that can be a very daunting task.

We start with a nice jump start of motivation, and then programming, life, and the mundane get in the way, and we find ourselves right back in our old pattern/mindset/habit/lack. 

Then we often add a shadow layer to that by adding on shame for not changing the thing. For not being different than you were two days ago.

I have found the key ingredient that helps me to keep the manifesting/intention train moving anytime I want to change a pattern or a belief.

I first start with calling in and manifesting the MOTIVATION to change the thing. I call in the sacred self-discipline.
Because let’s face it, nobody can make these changes for us. 

No one can complete our manifestations for us. 

Change requires discipline- but I am not always a huge fan of that word. It reminds me of the “bro-marketing” typ...

 The word manifest, or law of attraction methods have been thrown around the spiritual and metaphysical community often. 

But there is something that is missing in much of this teaching. 

Without the missing tools, you may even feel more shame than abundance when using methods like the law of attraction. 

I’ve seen some spiritual teachers even tell you to write down your affirmations 55 times five days a week…. And trust me I’ve tried ALL THE THINGS.  

Let's be real here; If you are missing the boat on the mindset work, writing your affirmations down 55 times a day is just going to leave you feeling like crap. Your mind and thoughts are going to counteract your affirmations with every word you write. 

Then you start thinking something is wrong with you, or that manifesting won’t work for you. 

And that’s simply not true. And I’d hate for you to give up on manifesting the life you want, when it’s so available to you. 

I have spent the better part of the last ...

MANIFESTING TIP #4:  THE POWER OF WRITING YOUR REALITY

I just went through some sh**, so you may want to listen up for this one.
This is also one of my top go-to manifesting activities. 

REALITY WRITING

A few years ago, as I was learning ALL the things about manifesting, I discovered a lot of outward activity you can do to support your manifesting. 

Reality Writing was one of my favorite manifesting activities, because it also covered the mindset work- which is Manifesting Ingredient NUMBER ONE. 

My version of reality writing is to write down everything I desire to experience as an “I AM” statement, and as “THIS IS DONE.” 

On any given day you will find statements like the following in my reality writing journal:

Everything works in my favor no matter what.
I get treated like a VIP everywhere I go.
People love to upgrade me and treat me well, and they enjoy having me around.  

I’ve been writing these two things into my reality probably for the past two years. 

And this last...

MANIFESTING TIP #3:  SANCTUARY
Ready for the third  ingredient to my manifesting potion?
This is another main ingredient, and works side by side with Manifesting Tip #2- POSSIBILITY.  

SANCTUARY

Specifically sanctuary of the mind. (Hint: Bringing the tools together, when we start to become intentional with our thought and energy currency, and we start to  bring in possibility for our manifestations, we are already beginning to grid sanctuary space). 

If you want to boost and accelerate your manifestations, creating a sanctuary in your mind is a sure way to do that. 

To create sanctuary of mind means to: 

• Do the shadow work around anything standing in the way of allowing the manifestation to take place. Common shadows will be around abundance, deservingness, receiving, possibility. 
• Step into faith (and re-step into it again and again) that your manifestation is not only possible and available, but is already done! You’ve just got to choose it, and keep re-choosing...

Do you have a pattern interrupt process when you are trying to shift energy, moods, patterns, or behaviors? 

A pattern interrupt is often required when we are working on releasing the programmed neuropathways tied to the shadows we are working to alchemize. 

The first step is shadow work. 

The next step is to understand that a reprogramming may be in order. 

Although we may have done our shadow work, some of our thoughtforms, beliefs, and behaviors have been present for so long that they become programmed into our being. They become part of the neuropathway and operating procedure. And much of the time we don't even realize it has become our nature. 
The thoughts/beliefs are just so automatic at this point, we don't even recognize it. That is why I am always talking about how important it is to investigate our daily routines, our day to day thoughts, and our to-do lists. Things become so programmed into our being, we go about it in more of a robotic state rather than an intentional, align...
