Inside all of us is a deeply intuitive spirit waiting for any chance to say hello. With these easy tips you’ll find yourself welcoming in all the universe has to offer you, and by surrounding yourself in beauty and creating sacred space, you’ll remind your soul how much love you have for yourself.
Having plants in the home is imperative for so many reasons (oxygen, cleansing, nature in the home) but in this context it’s nice to remember the old adage of speaking to your plants! These green creatures carry soul, and allowing yourself to meditate near and care for plants connects you to the earth, to yourself, and opens the root chakra
There is nothing more beautiful and peaceful than a candle-lit room. At the end of every day I turn off all the lights, put away all the screens, and just sit in sweet silent candlelight.

The beautiful, calming sound of wind chimes helps to create a space that feels ethereal, peaceful and even tropical. Sound plays a huge part in our ability to stay mentally healthy—from the words we speak to the tone of voice we choose to use.

To see these images is to remember that you are created of the same matter and energy; not only does it humble us and remind us we’re all one, but it also speaks to the divinity inside each and every creature that roams this magical earth. Reminding us we have the power to create anything in our lives.
Easily welcome the tarot into your life by choosing a card to meditate with—whether that’s the high priestess for… or the star for….just holding and getting to know these ancient, image cards can bring a great sense of mysticism to your life.
Using seashells to burn incense/pretty dishes-Using loose incense and burning it in found seashells-there is something very powerful about lose incense as opposed to sticks, the way it smokes, reaching into the air like out of a movie.

Magic is all around you, much like prana, just waiting to be acknowledged and harnessed. Know your divinity and know your soul, let magic be a part of your everyday life!
