Training your mind for magic is essential if you desire success in the Art. A focused mind is a powerful mind. Yet, it is also the QUIET mind that gets things done. An adept can respond to any situation with power and poise. Do you respond to problems with a reaction of upset, fear, anger, irritation, or do you respond with a calm certainty that you will prevail? Responding to a situation with poise, grace and a calm mind means that your problem is outmatched, and that success is certain and imminent. Your connection to Infinite Spirit is adequate enough to handle any situation, but it requires training to choose to turn to this Power rather than reacting to your predicament with fear. The ability to focus takes practice. Each morning for the next 14 days, try the following experiment: 1. Find a place where you can be undisturbed for a few minutes. 2. Sit in a chair with your spine straight, your legs uncrossed, and your hands on your knees or in your lap. 3. Relax your body and mind. 4. With every inhale, mentally tell yourself the word "BLESSED." 5. With every exhale, mentally repeat the word "BE". 6. Whenever your mind wanders, gently bring it back to the practice. 7. After 1 minute, gently open your eyes. The next day, try increasing your time to two minutes. Keep adding another minute each day until you get to anywhere from five to twenty minutes. If it is ever a strain to keep up your focus, simply reduce the amount of time. After only a couple of weeks of doing this, notice your ability to maintain poise amid apparent problems. Notice how much more capable you are at responding to problems with power rather than reacting with fear or irritation. You are so amazing for reading my blog and for being a part of Ariel's Corner. It's because of you that I find such joy in sharing my techniques of working magic.

Fairytales speak of living happily ever after. Instead of thinking of ever after as an expanse of time, consider ever after to mean the present moment . Eternity exists now. Eternity is not an accumulation of time. When we say we want to unburden ourselves eternally, it means that our present moment is perpetually free from all burden. If we notice that that we are not burden-free in the present moment, we can decide that we no longer want to keep the burden we are carrying and ask a higher power to remove it for us. Feeling burdened with the weight of the world on our shoulders is the opposite of power. Many of us are proud that we shoulder these heavy burdens. We try to carry burdens that Infinite Intelligence could never mean for us to carry. How many of the world's problems are you capable of actually solving by yourself today? Probably none. The more we recognize that we have only power to change that which is in our Sphere of Influence , the happier we are, and the better off the entire world actually is. The more we stay stuck in a self-imposed isolation of "fixing" problems that are not ours to fix, the longer we are incapable of being any real help to the world. As we let go of the need to manage the world and the people in it, we come instead to the cradle of power, which is our own freedom to choose to yield to the power of our own soul. That which your soul desires to accomplish in this lifetime is what many call your True Will, and is where all of your talents, your joy, your prosperity are, and is where all the good in your life lives. Your soul is an extension of Infinite Light. This divine light is who you are. You are truly a star in the company of stars. Infinite Spirit can only do for us, what it can do through us. This often means that the very best spell we can cast is that of completely stepping out of the way and letting Spirit work through us. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

It's not very powerful to believe in something blindly. It's best to prove for ourselves whether something is what it purports to be. This is as true for the Goddess as it is for anything else. Rather than believe in something, we must either prove it to ourselves, or eliminate the belief all together. Proving the Goddess for ourselves is something we can do today if we like: Think of a pressing problem or desire. Call on the presence of the Goddess. Sit with the idea of the Holy Mother who has all power to heal and correct. She has all power to undo any problem. Completely give your problem to her. Then sit and listen. Find the thoughts that are from Her by relaxing and noticing where the peace exists within you. Allow yourself to follow this peace. Any time your mind wanders, gently bring it back to peace again and again. Just a few moments at a time is necessary, but repeat the process several times per day, every day. This peace is her. She exists as peace and within peace. Allow yourself to return to her a bit each day, making sure that you give your problem to Her and sit in the midst of her peace, listening to what you receive. Then take your life as it comes and notice the shifts in the situation each day as it begins to resolve itself in her way and in Her time. Once you know the Goddess, you won't ever need to believe in her. You don't need to believe in something that you know!

Are there stuck places in your life? Are there knots you can't untie? Have what seem like unsolvable problems confronted you? There is a force that has all power to heal and correct. It knows precisely what's wrong and how to fix it. We know this power as the Goddess. Nature always tends toward healing, correction, rebalancing. She knows exactly what to do at all times and requires absolutely no help from us. But in the realms of consciousness, we have free will. We can choose to experience anything we desire. If what we desire is out of harmony with the will of All That Is, then we experience problems. You were not created at some moment in the past and then abandoned and left on your own to find your way back home. You are being created at every instant , and are constantly safely in the presence of the very love that is perpetually creating you. We ponder vain thoughts which all boil down to "How can I be special?" This one little insane idea, "How can I separate myself from infinite good?" is responsible for the seemingly eternal nightmares that we experience. Our nightmares sometimes seem pleasant to us, however, so we assume that we just have to take the good with the bad, because "that's life." When we develop a relationship with the Goddess, we discover she can expertly untie all the knots we have gotten ourselves tangled up in. She will undo all the consequences of our individual vain imaginings, along with the vain imaginings of the entire species. 1). Connect with the Goddess daily, in silence; then, 2) take your life as it comes; every problem that presents itself to you, invoke her presence and ask for release, rather than trying to figure it all out on your own, or resist it. There is no problem too small to be insignificant to her. There is no problem too large for her to solve. ========= A free 18-week self-study audio course — A Witch's Primer

The Goddess is a universal force for healing , correction, and protection. Different cultures and traditions know her by countless different names. ⁠ If there is anything in your life that seems hopeless, she can offer a fresh way of seeing it. She can give you a clear understanding that healing and resolution can be yours right now.  She is everywhere perfect. She knows what ails you and how to heal it. ⁠But she cannot enter uninvited. ⁠⁠ You can approach the Goddess by whatever name or form speaks to you through a voice of peace. You may call her Goddess, Mother, Holy Spirit, Shekinah, Diana, Artemis, Asherah, Astarte, and by countless other names. She is not picky how you call on her.⁠ ⁠ Try calling on the Divine Mother each day. Ask that she guide your every thought, word, action and intention. Meditate on her presence and then wait on her. ⁠ ⁠ There is no problem that is too great for her. She can undo any mistake, she can untie any knot. She is literally “full of grace.”⁠ Grace is yours because of who you are, not because of anything you can you do. You cannot “earn” grace, you can only receive it. You are a Divine Child of the Infinite. Grace is your birthright.  No matter you have done in the past, or whatever has happened to in the past, through grace you can find forgiveness, peace, joy, love, health, prosperity, success and all good—here and now.⁠ ⁠ The Goddess is eager to help you return to your natural state of grace, joy, power and happiness. Call on her now and each day and watch the magic unfold in every area of your life.⁠ ================= Please catch my daily magic streams on YouTube , 10:15 AM Pacific Time!

When a teacher puts an equation on the board to be solved by a student, the answer already exists. The student is not required to create the correct answer; rather, they are required to realize the answer that already exists.⁠ ⁠ In a similar fashion, all our problems have also already got solutions. We aren't supposed to create solutions for problems, instead, we must realize the solutions to our problems that already exist. ⁠ To do this we need to be cognizant of our role in the problem-solving process. We are the student, not the teacher. We must ask to be guided and led to the realization of the solution that already exists. ⁠ This we can only do when we are in a receptive state of mind . In some Zen studies, this is described as making the mind like an empty rice bowl. Jesus called it becoming like a small child.⁠ ⁠ A child knows that they don't know; thus they want to learn and be guided. The same childlike wonder is what is required of us to be led to the solution of ANY problem that is before us. ⁠ If we don't do this, and instead think that the creation of the solution is up to us, we then place ourselves in a role we were not created to fulfill. The moment we decide that we know the answers, we immediately shut the door on our assistance, and thus have an experience of being all alone and by ourselves.⁠ ⁠ This is the birth of fear. Once we have allowed fear into the equation, we must start again. We must remind ourselves that fear only enters when we have turned our backs on our own spiritual assistance that is continuously available.⁠ ⁠ "Dear Spirit, I know that the solution to this is already available for me fully formed. I ask to be led and shown the way to realize this solution here and now. Thank you VERY much! So mote it be!"⁠ Catch my live magic streams on YouTube, six days per week!

To work any style of magic effectively, the first thing that must be accomplished is finding quietness within your mind and relaxation in your body. This can seem impossible if you are working magic to get yourself out of trouble or crisis, but it can be done and it must be done. Entering a magical operation with a sense of desperation is almost always a recipe for failure. A common occurrence when people find themselves in trouble is that they rush through website after website, or flip through book after book, trying to find a spell, prayer, or treatment that will help, all the while increasing their anxiety and leaving them in a state where failure seems their only option. Having a regular, daily spiritual practice is the secret to avoiding this sort of problem. Regular practice primes you for the times when you need to lean on your discipline in order to find the quietness of mind that is required for magical efficacy. Effective magic simply cannot be performed in a state of panic, upset, fear, anger, or chaos. You must first find relaxation in your mind and body. You can accomplish this quietness only through regular daily practice. At least once each day, sit, with your spine straight, and start to breathe deeply and calmly. Tell each part of your body, in turn, to relax and let go as you breathe. Your body has to obey you. If your mind starts racing, immediately bring it back to your breath and the relaxation of your body. Once your body is relaxed, then relax your mind. A simple way to do this is to mentally repeat a phrase. I use the phrase, “Blessed Be.” Mentally repeat this phrase (or another of your choosing) while you continue to breathe deeply and calmly. Whenever you notice your mind wandering or racing, gently (but firmly) bring it back to the silent mental repetition of your chosen phrase. It is only a quiet mind in a relaxed body that can work effective magic. Practice quieting your mind and relaxing your body each day. Work up to 5, 10, or even 20 minutes each day of this, and you will be ready for magic even under the most stressful of circumstances.
