    Chant When finding something to bring luck- money, 4 leaf clover, etc..



    Anything you find is lucky.

    When you find your lucky item, say these words:
    "See a (item), pick it up!
    All the day, I'll have good luck.
    And when trouble might come my way
    This little (item) will bless my day."

    2nd Chakra

    Your sacral chakra. This is located along the spine behind the genital organs. 
    Issues of emotional pain and suffering, gluttony and overeating, cruelty, self-doubt, and destructive desires are common effects of a poorly functioning sacral chakra.
    When this chakra is healed, we experience self-conviction, kindness, emotional intelligence, and healthy desire fulfillment.
    To strengthen this chakra, I recommend you eat at least 4 oranges a week, drink 8 glasses of water a day, and perform the following meditation at least once a week.
    Meditation to heal the sacral chakra:
    - Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths to relax.
    - Slow your breathing rate to about half of your normal rate.
    - Imagine that with every in-breath the chakra is infused with orange energy.
    - Imagine with every out-breath that you are exhaling any and all impurities from the chakra.
    - Continue this meditation for 15 minutes or more.
    If you persist with the above meditation and recommendations, you will gradually heal this chakra and see substantial improvement in your emotional temperament, self-worth, and self-discipline. Your healthy desires will flow through your body to the universe to be manifested.

    3rd Eye Chakra

    The third eye chakra is perhaps the best known of all the chakras. It is located in the center of the brain on the level of the eye brows. The third eye is considered our psychic center and is also called the seat of the soul.
    When the third eye is not properly functioning we lack our natural intuition and psychic abilities such as remote viewing and remote influencing.
    When this chakra is healed, we are able to see into the essence of things. We can see through the destructive social conditioning that keeps people in small boxes never striving for greatness. Our psychic abilities come back online. These abilities are not supernatural, in fact they are supernormal just dormant in most individuals.
    Meditation to heal the third eye chakra:
    - Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths to relax.
    - Slow your breathing rate to about half of your normal rate.
    - Imagine that with every in-breath the chakra is infused with indigo energy.
    - Imagine with every out-breath that you are exhaling any and all impurities from the chakra.
    - Continue this meditation for 15 minutes or more. 
    Blueberries are excellent foods for assisting in third eye activation. I recommend having them 3 times a week. Also, practice paying more attention to your inner voice. The still voice within. It is always peaceful and always guides you to what's best for you, though your ego may sometimes disagree. The more attention you give to your inner voice, the more guidance you'll find that it gives you.

    Performing the above meditation, eating blueberries, and listening to your inner voice can yield spectacular results.

    The Power of Intention


    Never underestimate the power of your Intention. It represents the most powerful magical tool at your disposal. Intention is pure Energy. It is the divine creative Force behind all cosmic, universal and human designs.
    The efficiency of intention relies on two factors
    1 - Establishing a purpose
    2 - Intensity
    Establishing a purpose, or setting a goal - is necessary as it gives us a direction. It affects the trajectory of the creative Energy. The practical question is: What do you wish to achieve?
    The more precise your answer is, the clearer your path will be.

    The second factor is intensity. This is the focus you draw into your thoughts.

    The greater the concentration, passion and amount of energy that you can give your itention, the greater and faster the results will appear.
    Coincidences won’t be coincidences but messages and divine signs that will automatically make sense.

    The practical question is: How much do you want this dream to come true? To be part of your reality? To be fully experienced?.… You need to engage your entire being into this process.

    The understanding of who you are is the key. Be aware of your thoughts, your choices, your decisions, your beliefs and more so your power… Remember that your reality always matches the way you perceive the world outside.

    And remember that the way you perceive the world outside always matches the way you perceive your…Self

    charoite- needs amending

      Charoite
    Lavender to dark purple with light color inclusionsCharoite is a rare mineral, discovered in 1978 and named for the Chara River in Russia. The Mongols used the stone to make jewelry and other items, and on feast days they would boil the stone to make tea. This tea was used to protect tribal members from evil. The charoite stone is often confused with the fairly similar sugilite, although it is the charoite's characteristic light colored inclusions that are the main difference between the two stones. It has the appearance of purple marble. Charoite is a stone of transformation. It can turn negative energy into positive by releasing the negative feelings and emotions. It encourages creativity and allows one to look for new solutions to old issues. It enhances courage and strength, and can be used in past life regression as well as prophesy. Its healing properties include regulation of blood pressure, inducing, healing deep sleep, and can help with nervous fears.
    Found only in Russia along the Chara River.
