  • Abracadabra: Words You Speak Have the Power to Change Everything

    Abracadabra: Words You Speak Have the Power to Change Everything
    Jan 15 2026
    What does abracadabra mean? You’ve heard magicians in tuxedos say it, as well as children with magic wands. Maybe even in a Disney movie! It feels magical even if you’ve never stopped to ask why. It’s playful, mysterious, and seems to appear at the exact moment something changes. Today, I’m not talking about stage tricks or fairy tales. This is an invitation to reclaim the magic in words. Abracadabra was meant to heal and to shift energy, and offers a powerful doorway back to something ancient and surprisingly scientific. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same mental loop, repeating the same old stories about yourself no matter how much inner work you’ve done, this is for you. The Magical Power of Your Words The words you speak shape your brain, your nervous system, and the life you quietly create every day. This is actually ancient and ties to the secret history of abracadabra. If you could travel back to the Roman Empire in the second century and told someone you were sick, they might prescribe something unexpected: Abracadabra – a word-based or spoken medicine. That’s when the earliest written record of abracadabra appears in a Roman medical text called Liber Medicinalis, written by a physician named Quintus Serenus Sammonicus. His instructions were precise. Write the word ABRACADABRA on parchment or metal. Then write it again below, removing the last letter. Continue line by line until only the letter “A” remains. The finished inverted triangle would be worn on a string around the neck, and was suggested for someone suffering from a fever. As the word diminished, letter by letter, the illness was believed to fade out too. Images of reconstructed abracadabra amulets still exist today and are physical evidence that words were once understood as active forces, rather than passive communication. What Does Abracadabra Mean? There isn’t one agreed upon translation, which is common with magical words. Many scholars trace it to Aramaic, a language closely related to ancient Hebrew, with meanings along the lines of “I create as I speak” or “it will be created in my words.” Others interpret the word as “let the thing be destroyed,” which fits the idea of illness shrinking away. There are also connections to Hebrew blessing traditions and to a Gnostic figure named Abraxas. You don’t need a perfect translation to grasp the shared belief underneath the theories. Saying something with intention, was believed to create change. Words shaped reality. A Form of Protection Between the third and seventh centuries, abracadabra also became a form of protection against misfortune and unseen forces. It was spoken, worn, and traced as a spiritual shield. Breath and sound were the tools. So when a magician says “abracadabra” before a big reveal, they’re unknowingly echoing an ancient understanding. The moment you speak is the moment something shifts. Words are spells, in the past and still today. Ancient cultures all over the world shared this concept. Mesopotamian incantations were used to drive out illness. Egyptian healers combined herbs with spoken formulas. Biblical traditions delivered blessings and curses through speech. To the ancient mind, words were a force. Name something and you gained power over it. Speak a blessing and you invited it closer. Today witches may talk of spells but the vast majority of the population doesn’t go there. However, it does show up and is acceptable when discussing neuroscience, psychology, and neural pathways. The actual mechanism is quite similar. See, the stories you repeat to yourself like, “I always mess things up,” “nothing ever works out,” or “I’m too old,” act like incantations. The charm is created through your own voice, and the impact is on your nervous system. Unfortunately, this type of mantra spoken unconsciously and without intentional crafting, can backfire, and could even prevent growth or improvement. After more than twenty years working with intuition and mindset, I’ve seen this pattern again and again. Change often doesn’t happen until awareness and usage of the language changes. The Neuroscience of Self-Talk Modern psychology has studied self-talk extensively. Self-talk includes the running commentary in your head and the sentences you speak about yourself and your life. Supportive, positive self-talk is consistently linked to lower anxiety, better coping skills, and greater resilience. Harsh, critical self-talk is linked to higher stress, increased worry, and decreased performance. On a brain level, negative language activates threat centers like the amygdala, while balanced, compassionate self-talk engages the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for regulation and problem-solving. A fascinating 2024 study from the NIH explored what happens when people hear affirming statements spoken in their own voice. Turns out hearing your own voice activates brain regions tied to identity and ...

  • How To Make a Good Decision Using Intuition Vs. Logic

    How To Make a Good Decision Using Intuition Vs. Logic
    Jan 8 2026
    Did you ever get a big, bold sign you didn’t request and had no idea what it meant? Such a sign can help you make a good decision. I’ve Never Seen Anything Like This A hawk slammed into my sliding glass door, holding a woodpecker in its talons. They struggled and tore the screen. I was so disturbed that I banged on the door to make it stop. The hawk flew onto the deck, prey in its grip, sitting there as the life drained out of the woodpecker. I stood there stunned, asking myself, what could this possibly mean? The Background Before getting into the symbolism, it helps to know where I was emotionally that day. I had been deep in the process of reworking my branding for the past couple of months, which capped off a long 14 months of rethinking what I offer and who I’m best positioned to help. There’s no single “right” answer when it comes to branding, but I desperately didn’t want to get it wrong. That fear led to a kind of freeze with overthinking and no forward movement. Ironically, that same morning I finally made a decision. By the afternoon, I was relaxing for the first time in a while, reading, when the commotion outside my glass door happened. I wasn’t looking for a sign, which made it all the more unsettling. The Backstory To understand what I witnessed and why, I first looked inward. The message that came through was clear. “The time for struggle and indecision was over. It was time to rise above, take action, and engage.” Later, I looked up the symbolism. The woodpecker is often associated with persistence and attention to detail. Birds of prey, like hawks, represent vision, decisiveness, and the ability to see the bigger picture. Hawks are also widely seen as messengers from spirit and intuition. When these two show up together, the message becomes hard to miss. For me, this was a dramatic signal that I was entering a new phase. One of transformation and divine timing. Stop getting lost in the details. See the bigger picture. Move on. That hit home. I had been lost in the details. From a logical standpoint, I was asking all the “right” questions. Would people resonate with my work? Was I making a smart business decision? Did this align with my skills and solve real problems for clients? When Logic Is a Dead End From an intuitive perspective, the questions were different. Does this feel aligned with my highest good? Does the energy feel expansive? Does it make me happy? Logic is useful, especially in business. Lists of pros and cons have their place. But at some point, logic had taken me as far as it could. What I needed next was inner knowing. Turns out branding is more of an art than a science and it left me feeling raw and vulnerable. The key realization was there’s a big difference between strategic branding and energetic alignment. Logic had led me to a dead end. Now intuition needed to take the lead. That morning, I finally listened. I made a choice that felt right in my body. And then, just hours later, the hawk and woodpecker appeared. As a sign, I will absolutely pay attention. The message was clear. Get out of my head. Stop circling the details. Focus on the big picture. Trust how things feel in my body. Then act. This is how intuition speaks to me when I stop forcing answers. Sometimes gently and other times dramatically. Either way, it gets my attention. And this is a perfect example of how magic shows up too. My advice as an Intuitive Life Coach is simple… When you see a sign, pay attention. Reflect on what it means to you, and then follow through. How Intuition Shows Up There are actually many ways intuition shows up. Some people receive visual images (clairvoyance). Others hear inner guidance (clairaudience). Some just know without explanation (claircognizance). Still others, receive information through the feelings in the body (clairsentience). These are all valid. Over time, I’ve learned to use and trust all of them. But connecting with my body is relatively new and it’s been fascinating. That body-based intuition showed up again recently in a much more ordinary situation. I need a new couch after my last purchase wore out shockingly fast. I visited a couple of higher-end furniture stores and found beautiful options with big price tags. Then I found a similar couch at a mid-range store for half the price. Logical choice, right? I called a friend with high-end design experience. She agreed the construction and materials were solid so thought it was OK to buy the cheaper one. I was so relieved! My Body Reacted But when I went back to return the fabric samples at the high-end store, they placed the fabric on the couch one more time. My body reacted instantly as my shoulders relaxed. I took a deep breath and felt calm and comfortable. That was my answer! Logically, the cheaper couch made sense. Intuitively, my body told a different story. I trusted it. This kind of inner knowing doesn’t just apply to big decisions or purchases. It can show up in ...

  • The Extraordinary Way Magic Can Free Up Your Life

    The Extraordinary Way Magic Can Free Up Your Life
    Jan 2 2026
    The latest episode of the Breathe Love & Magic Podcast explores Liberation Magic. We talk about magic and manifestation, and how it can genuinely shift your life. It’s time to move beyond rules and “doing it right” to reconnect with your spiritual core. This conversation with Maritza Schafer, founder of Bruja School, is one of those grounding and warm reminders that magic isn’t something you learn, but something you remember. Manifesting Myth Trips People Up Have you ever been told that you’re “not manifesting correctly,” and that’s why what you want hasn’t shown up yet? What a horrible and discouraging message which could make you want to give up entirely. I remember when someone said it to me! That’s why Maritza offers Liberation Magic — a way of working with magic that frees you from the metaphysical industry’s criticism, rules, and the idea that you’re somehow doing it wrong. Liberation magic invites you to return to your intuition, your energy, and your deeper spiritual truth. When things aren’t moving in your life, it’s rarely because you’re broken or incapable. More often, it’s because we’ve been trying to create from the surface instead of from connection. Liberation magic asks you to slow down, drop beneath the noise, and listen for the wisdom that’s already guiding you. Magic – Technology for Transformation So what is magic, really? Maritza describes it beautifully as “a technology for transformation.” It’s a collection of tools, practices, and spiritual intentions that help shift what feels stuck and invites something new to emerge. Magic is far more than passive wishing. It’s intentional, soulful participation with life’s energy! When you merge a spiritual component with your intentions, something softens and opens. The process doesn’t feel heavy or forced. Your desires have a way of coming into being because they’re rooted in alignment, not effort alone. Think of it as learning to see your life through a spiritual lens where intention matters, energy matters, and presence itself becomes powerful. Mystical Garlic Planting I told a story about using magic when I planted my garlic this fall. Right from the start, When I planted the garlic, I didn’t just push cloves into the soil, fertilize, water, and walk away. I planted at twilight — that quiet, liminal space between day and night, when the veil feels thinner. Then, I connected with the land and greeted the spirits and elemental forces. Next, I offered gratitude and asked to collaborate with them as the garden begins it’s cycle of growth again. The reason is not because someone told me that’s how it’s done or good to do. This is how I live when I’m tuned into nature. As I listen to spirit and connect with my own inner knowing, everything comes alive. And that’s the heart of liberation magic – where magic and manifestation meet. It’s not dones as a technique, but as a connection to spirit and life itself. Magic as a Way of Life Magic isn’t only something you use when you want something to change. It can be how you move through the world. Maritza encourages her students to deepen their awareness of the moment they’re in — the energy, the land, the subtle signals that are always communicating with us. That might look like ritual or meditation. You might simply notice your breath while you’re standing at the sink or looking out a window. When spirituality becomes woven into daily life, you begin to move with the rhythms of the earth instead of against them. Challenges don’t disappear, but your relationship to them changes. You meet life with more grace, more steadiness, and more trust. Remember the Magic Many people are drawn to magic because something feels missing. Maritza about this clearly —longing is often a call back to spiritual connection that’s been overshadowed by responsibility, expectation, and noise. As you reconnect, you remember something essential. You are not separate from spirit, but part of it. Remembering brings a deep sense of belonging and the awareness that you are a magical being with access to far more wisdom than you might imagine. Let Go of “Should” and Find What’s True One of the most liberating aspects of Maritza’s work is releasing the burden of expectation. There is no single right way to practice magic. No gold star for doing it perfectly. No spiritual hierarchy. Your path is sacred because it’s your own. When students let go of comparison and external judgment, they often feel an enormous sense of relief. Magic becomes about self-discovery instead of performance. Confidence grows naturally when you stop trying to meet someone else’s definition of spiritual correctness. Walking Your Own Spiritual Path Liberation magic doesn’t require elaborate rituals or rigid structures. It asks for awareness. By understanding your energy and setting intention with presence, magic can move through your everyday life — in ...

  • Is 3I/ATLAS Doom And Gloom Or A Positive Cosmic Upgrade?

    Is 3I/ATLAS Doom And Gloom Or A Positive Cosmic Upgrade?
    Dec 12 2025
    If you’ve been scrolling lately, you’ve probably noticed lots of comet chatter about 3I/ATLAS. What’s all the bruhaha about and what does it mean for you? I’ll cut through the cosmic fluff and make this simple. If you want to attend the Free Winter Solstice event on Sunday, 12/21 at 4pm ET, RSVP here to let me know. What Is 3I/ATLAS? Let’s start with the basics. 3I/ATLAS is an interstellar comet, meaning it’s not from our solar system. It’s a cosmic traveler cruising at over 100,000 miles an hour. It will make its closest approach to Earth around December 19, 2025, which means around 170 million miles away. So yes, it’s rare and worth paying attention to. But physically? You’re fine. Humanity is fine. The planet is fine. Now spiritually… this is where things get interesting. People Are Lit Up About This Comet Astronomers love it because it’s only our third known interstellar visitor after ‘Oumuamua and Borisov. But the spiritual community is lit up because of the timing, the symbolism, and the energetic ripples many intuitives are already feeling. Channelers are comparing notes. Astrologers are cross-referencing charts. Energy sensitives have that familiar “something’s shifting” hum inside their chest. Think of 3I/ATLAS as a celestial tuning fork drifting through our sky, humming just enough that the sensitive folks among us feel the vibration before it even arrives. Many spiritual teachers call it a light-packed traveler carrying clarity, recalibration, and what some describe as “reset frequency.” Not in a dramatic destruction way, but in a gentle, rebalancing way. Think of it as the energetic version of straightening your crown and realigning your inner compass. It’s as if the Universe is whispering, “Time to recalibrate.” What Does the Comet Offer? Potentially, so many good things come with this comet including, an inner reset, energetic balance, heightened intuition, a return to your aligned Self, and all sorts of positive upgrades in how you sense and navigate the world. The most important point, in my opinion? Nothing is happening to you because you’re not a victim of 3I/ATLAS. Instead, you’re being invited to partner with it. Symbolic Meaning Hidden in the Name Now let’s discuss the metaphysics for a moment because “3I/ATLAS” is full of symbolic goodies. According to numerology, “3” is about creation. think of the cycle of birth, death, rebirth. It’s the number that says something new is coming. Then the letter “I” points to intuition, identity, insight, and the observing Self. Put these together and you get creation plus consciousness. A cosmic reminder that you are not a passive passenger in your own life. You’re a co-creator! What about “3rd Eye + Atlas” The third eye is your intuitive center, your inner vision, your ability to sense truth without proof. Atlas is the top vertebra that holds your head, the mythological guardian who carried the world, and the name we give to global maps. Suddenly 3I/ATLAS becomes a message about higher perception, energetic support, nervous-system alignment, and carrying a new level of awareness in the body. That’s the kind of upgrade I can get behind. Why the Timing Matters Astronomically, the closest approach is December 19, 2025. Spiritually, many view the full 12/18–12/19 window as an energetic corridor. It’s a moment when life pauses just long enough for you to feel the subtle shift before the next level loads. And let’s not forget that 2025 is a nine year according to numerology, which is all about completion. Things naturally fall away, resolve, or wrap up. So the timing of this comet is pretty synchronistic, don’t you think? How Might 3I/ATLAS Affect You? • Clearer intuition • Emotional clearing • Heightened sensitivity • A desire to rest • Sudden clarity about what’s ending • Fresh inspiration This comet is giving you time to ask yourself important questions such as: “Are your actions matching your intentions?” “Are you living as the person you say you want to be?” “What truth are you finally ready to honor?” The good news is there’s no judgment or no punishment, only clarity. Balance Masculine & Feminine Energy Another theme connected to 3I/ATLAS is the balancing of masculine and feminine energy, which are the divine polarities within you. Think of these opposites: • Drive and receptivity • Action and restoration • Doing and being • Protecting and allowing • Structure and flow When one side dominates, imbalance shows up in your body, your choices, your relationships. The comet’s energy highlights what needs attention, like sunlight revealing dust on the bookshelf you swear was clean yesterday. Now don’t think 3I/ATLAS will do the shift for you, but it helps you see where the shift is ready and waiting. It shines clarifying light into your world, so you can make the upgrade and let your divine feminine rise. How to Work With the 12/18 ...

  • Intuitive Communication With Animals Creates Powerful Healing

    Intuitive Communication With Animals Creates Powerful Healing
    Dec 5 2025
    Have you dabbled in communication with animals? Even just for fun or out of curiosity? If so, you already know how surprising, heart-opening, and downright magical it can be. And if you haven’t tried it yet… buckle up. The possibilities for emotional healing — plus personal and spiritual growth — are honestly astonishing. Animal Communciation That’s exactly what I talked about with animal communicator Genie Joseph in this week’s whimsical episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. Genie brought stories, wisdom, and humor to t he show. Our conversation was a reminder that animals are so much more than companions — they’re teachers, healers, guides, and sometimes even philosophers in furry bodies. The Philosophical Rabbit Genie started by sharing an enchanting story about her friend Paloma, an animal communicator in Switzerland. Paloma’s rabbit, Spot, was not your average carrot-crunching cutie. He had a giant personality. According to Spot, he was a philosopher. And he had no problem telling Paloma that she simply wasn’t on his level. Apparently, he’d had a few human lives. At one point he literally said, “You’re not at my level. Go back and study.” Can you imagine being put down by a rabbit? Each time Paloma returned, eager to collaborate, Spot sent her back to do more inner work. Only after she’d grown spiritually and emotionally did he finally agree to partner with her on writing a book. This story cracked me up, but it also highlights something profound. Animals have rich inner worlds and unique perspectives. They’re funny, wise, stubborn, intuitive, and deeply aware, often far more than we give them credit for. Wolfie Knew His Time Was Up Next came the story that changed Genie’s life and honestly, it gave me chills. Her beloved cat, Wolfie, introduced her to the mystical world of animal communication. Toward the end of his life, Genie was torn about what to do. The vet suggested euthanasia, but her heart wasn’t ready. She felt confused, guilty, and overwhelmed. This what people feel when you love an animal deeply and want to do right by them. In a moment of desperation and tenderness, she asked Wolfie what he wanted and to her complete surprise, he answered. Wolfie telepathically communicated that he wanted to pass peacefully at home. He provided the exact day and time he intended to leave his body which was between 3 and 5 AM. And just as he said, Wolfie passed at 3:30 AM. This experience affirmed for Genie communication with animals was real. That moment became her turning point, the doorway that led her into a life long devotion to understanding and teaching intuitive animal communication. You might think of her as a pet psychic. Everyday Wisdom from Animals Wolfie’s guidance started earlier in as he helped Genie with everyday decisions, including her movie projects. If she wasn’t sure which script to choose, she’d spread them out on the floor. Wolfie would quietly wander over and plop himself on the one that ended up being the best choice. He was always right. Eventually, Genie trusted him so much she referred to him as her “business partner.” Animals pick up your moods, your energy, your hesitations, andyour excitement. Sometimes they see the bigger picture long before humans do. It makes you think, how many times has your pet has been trying to tell you something, but you just didn’t realize you were being guided? Healing with Animal Therapy Genie then shifted into the deeper purpose behind her work, which is emotional healing. She shared the story of Oscar, a rescued dog with scars, missing teeth, and a heartbreaking past. Yet, despite everything he’d been through, Oscar became a powerful therapy partner for soldiers suffering from PTSD. That’s because Oscar had a rare gift. He could sense the person in the room who was in the most pain. Not the loudest or the one with the biggest personality. Oscar sensed which person silently felt like they were at the end of their rope and were at the greatest risk of suicide. He’d wander over, rest his head on their lap, and stay with them until their energy softened. Time after time, he found the soldier who needed him most. Genie watched veterans open emotionally, often for the first time in years. Oscar’s presence reached places that traditional therapy often couldn’t go where trauma hides. Animals don’t judge. They don’t push, need you to “explain.” They simply see you and comfort you. Sometimes, that’s just what someone needs to begin healing. Communication with Animals One of the things Genie emphasized which I loved, is that animals have feelings and very real opinions. She shared the story of a horse who became cranky and withdrawn after being moved to a new barn. Nothing seemed physically wrong, but his behavior was off. When Genie tuned in, she discovered he was upset because he used to spend all day with his companion, a female horse and not just the evenings. He missed ...

  • You’re Invited To Enjoy the Magic – 5 Year Anniversary Highlights

    You’re Invited To Enjoy the Magic – 5 Year Anniversary Highlights
    Nov 29 2025
    Today’s episode is a celebration! I have now been hosting this podcast for five years. Can you believe it? I’m not sure I do. Over 250 Episodes! Yes, five years of podcasting and over 250 episodes! Whoa, that’s a lot! Back in 2021, when I first hit record, I had no idea what would unfold and it’s become one of the greatest gifts of my life. I’ve shared so much of my own spiritual journey as well as that of my guests. Topics have included energy work and healing, manifesting, intuition and divination, mediumship, animal communication, talking with plants, tarot, past lives and the Akashic Records, nature spirits and faeries, and so much more. It’s all been to help you live a life filled with joy and move past anything that gets in your way. Because when you commune with spirit, so much more becomes possible. Beneath all these conversations, there’s been one main intention: Help you trust your inner wisdom, so life feels a little more magical and a lot more aligned. While the topics have been fun and fascinating, what matters most to me is how many of you have written to say an episode shifted something inside you. That just thrills me to no end! Every episode, at its core, is really about remembering who you are underneath the noise of everyday life. The point is to get past the cosmic fluff and down to the bottom line of what truly makes a difference for you. What I’ve Learned In 5 Years Intuition is not a gift but an innate resource that every single person can access and learn to use. When you learn to flex this muscle and trust your inner wisdom, you can conquer problems and move past blocks. The energy on the planet has been changing so rapidly that your access to spiritual wisdom and energy healing has been ramped up and made more available than ever. And last but far from least: magic is all around you, ready for you to notice it and take advantage of everything it offers. So, for this anniversary episode, I thought it’d be fun to walk down this magical memory lane. I selected an episode from each year, all the way back to the beginning in 2021. These are conversations and topics that lit me up or revealed something big and reflect my growth and hopefully yours too. Highlights By Year Back in 2021, when the show first launched and I was still figuring out what this podcast wanted to become. One of the very first episodes was about the Magic of Nature Spirits — elementals, devas, all the beings I’d been seeing and communicating with in my own backyard. I shared stories like watching a tiny bootprint make an impression in the grass down and then spring back up right in front of my eyes. I also spoke to Pan, the kind of the elementals in my garden and even asking my string beans why they weren’t producing and heard an answer! That episode set the tone for everything that followed, so let’s revisit it now. Let’s jump to 2022. This was a year when synchronicity was showing up everywhere — not just for me, but in the lives of many of the guests I interviewed. One of my favorites was my conversation with Jan Stringer, who shared how Sacred Synchronicities pulled her away from a corporate career and eventually even beyond traditional coaching into intuitive and healing work. It was a beautiful reminder that Spirit always knows how to get our attention. Here’s a clip from that episode.” Moving into 2023, the theme of the unseen continued — but with a little more sparkle and play. That year, I sat down with my friend Barb Gallagher to talk about her experiences with the faeries. She has a faery guide, she’s seen faeries many times, and she shared some incredible stories. I even added a couple of my own. It was such a fun and magical conversation. Let’s listen in. Medical Intuitive & More Then came 2024 — a year filled with deeper healing and spiritual expansion. One of the standout conversations was with Christine Lang, a medical intuitive who left a high-powered career as a corporate lawyer after debilitating allergies pushed her toward energy work. She talked about her journey through Reiki, developing her intuitive abilities, and how to elevate your energy so you can communicate with your spirit guides. Here’s a moment from that fascinating interview. Now in 2025, which has been a powerful, transformational year for both the podcast and the planet. One of the most meaningful episodes for me was my interview with the woman who leads the Net of Light group — a community working with the Great Council of Grandmothers. We talked about the divine feminine rising to restore balance and support the world through these times of change. Let me share a snippet from that conversation.” 2025 has also been the year I started sharing a lot more of my own thoughts and experiences in solo episodes. Two that really resonated with many of you were Light vs. Dark — Who’s Winning? (spoiler: the light!) and Crumble vs. Shift, where we talked about the energetic power of ...

  • Fuel Happy Holidays With Simple Self-Care

    Fuel Happy Holidays With Simple Self-Care
    Nov 21 2025
    The craziest season of the year has begun. The minute Halloween is over, Black Friday and the holiday circus come to town. You know you’re going to get super busy. There’s too much to do. The stress is already building. Cooking, cleaning, entertaining, decorating, gift buying and wrapping. And let’s not forget all the socializing. Most women shoulder the emotional and sometimes physical labor of the season. You think about everyone’s feelings, comfort, dietary preferences, and more. It’s a lot. No wonder it feels like a giant snowball rolling downhill, gaining speed until you feel like it bowls you over. What can you do? I’ve Got Your Back! I’ve got some simple ways to help you plan to take care of yourself during the holiday rush. The best thing is to get out ahead of that snowball to combat the overwhelm. Below you’ll find eight simple and quick self-care rituals that work like a charm to help you relax, stay centered, and appreciate yourself for who you are and all that you do. I encourage you to try several of them to see what works best for you before you get knee-deep in the season. Knowing which rituals work for you gives you an advantage when things get busy. You won’t have to sit there thinking, “What should I do?” You’ll know which of these self-care tips will serve you best. And then you can take care of yourself like it’s a no-brainer. Magical Self-Care for Low Stress Holidays 1. Humming Need to calm down and relax your nervous system fast? Maybe you don’t have time for a bath or 30-minute meditation. Try humming! Humming is perfect for soothing your nervous system — research shows it raises nitric oxide levels in the body, which eases tension. Spiritually, humming also clears the throat chakra and brings your energy back into vibrational alignment. Practice slow, mindful breathing, and with each exhale, gently hum a single note with your mouth closed. It’s surprisingly calming. 2. Daily Oneness Minute In everyday life, most people forget that they are one with everything. You are a child of the Universe. You are made of the same material as the stars – some say you are made of stardust. How amazing is that? Yet, you rarely stop to feel that connection. However, the more you remember the oneness, the more your body relaxes. Instead of feeling separate and alone, remember that angels, your higher self, spirit guides, and ancestors are always with you. To start your Oneness Minute, place your hand on your heart and the other on your belly and take a deep breath. Then let yourself feel the truth of who you are and how you are part of everything. This might just be the most peaceful minute of your entire day. 3. Brew Tea with Intention Prepare an herbal tea with purpose. Choose herbs for heart healing (like hibiscus), calming (like chamomile or Tulsi), or warmth (like apple cinnamon). While pouring water over the herbs or tea bag, imagine sending your intention into the brew. Once the tea is brewed, hold the warm cup in your hands. Feel the heat against your palms. Let the steam rise to your face. Set an intention and imagine infusing the liquid with that energy. When you sip, you’re literally drinking in the energy of your intention. I consider this to be self-care and self-love because you are taking a moment to think about yourself – what do you want? Getting clear and setting an intention is important “me time”. 4. “Enchanted” Body Oil Self-care and self-love are intertwined. Applying body oil or body butter after a bath, shower, or anytime is truly an act of love. You can add an essential oil to a carrier oil like almond or coconut, or put a few drops into any body butter or cream. When you massage your body with your chosen oil, express gratitude for each body part. Think about what that part helps you do. Spend extra time on areas you typically criticize because this is where love is most needed. Everyone has parts of their body they wish were different, but this is a time to appreciate all of you. As you love and accept yourself for who you are right now, confidence builds and your vibration rises. Love all your parts and make them soft and smell fabulous. 5. Anoint Yourself The act of anointing is sacred. When you put an oil on your body with intention, you are taking a sacred action to honor yourself and connect with the divine. You can focus on attracting abundance, healing, or staying calm and balanced. The choice is yours. In the past, anointing was used for king-making ceremonies and religious rites. Prophets, priests, and priestesses all used this sacred tool as part of their rituals and it’s still used today. I recommend using a quality essential oil like doTerra, but there are many excellent brands. Before applying, if you have sensitive skin, mix your essential oil with a carrier oil like jojoba, sweet almond, or coconut oil. You only need a few drops of the essential oil in the carrier oil to get the benefits. Try a blend of ...

    Don’t Blame the Psychics, Kim Kardashian!
    Nov 16 2025

    Recently Kim Kardashian took and failed the California bar exam. Sorry, Kim. And her reaction was, “All those psychics who told me I’d pass are liars.” What?

    You Can’t Win the Blame Game

    Kim’s frustration and disappointment are totally understandable. Failure stinks! But blaming the psychics for this mishap? That part makes no sense. So, let’s break this down.

    1. Psychics give a snapshot in time of what might happen. Readings reveal possibilities, not fixed outcomes.
    2. Not sure what she was told about timing. Did they say she’d pass the first time… or simply that she’d pass? Those are very different predictions.
    3. If she passes next time, those psychics will be correct. One failed attempt doesn’t cancel the larger perspective on passing the bar. Maybe they weren’t specific enough.
    4. Timing is the toughest part of psychic work. Many believe spirit doesn’t follow linear time the way humans do. Meanwhile, several scientific theories rooted in Einstein’s work suggest all moments may exist simultaneously.That creates a challenge when people ask, “When will I meet my love?” or “When will this happen?”And to be honest, there are some things spirit just won’t tell you because it will interfere with the lesson you are learning.
    5. What did Kim’s own intuition say? It’s unclear whether she checked in with her inner knowing or handed full responsibility to the psychics.
    6. Let’s be honest — who wants to tell Kim Kardashian she’s going to fail? Psychics are human. They want to please, especially when reading for someone influential. Even if a psychic sensed she might struggle, delivering a message like that isn’t easy and can feel ethically tricky.Personally, I wouldn’t give a simple yes-or-no answer either. I’d redirect the question toward something more supportive and actionable like, “What do I need to know to pass? Is anything blocking me?” That’s far more helpful than predicting an outcome.
    7. Who is actually responsible for passing the bar? Not the psychics! Kim herself is the only one responsible for the outcome of her test taking. Their predictions (right or wrong) didn’t cause her to fail. If she took encouraging readings as an excuse to study less, that’s her choice and her consequence.Between study habits, stress, test preparation, and her reliance on AI tools, many factors play into exam performance. And remember: only 55% of first-time California bar exam takers pass. She has plenty of company in her experience.
    8. Perhaps this is a life lesson in humility. Whatever Kim is meant to learn from this setback, it’s her karma, her growth, and her responsibility. It sure isn’t up to the psychics.
    Readings Are Not Short Cuts

    Psychic insight is never meant to be a shortcut, but used to shine a little light where life feels foggy. When you rely on predictions instead of your own inner knowing, disappointment is almost guaranteed.

    Trusting psychic guidance is best when done as a companion to your own inner wisdom. Don’t let external information replace your own inner knowing.

    Blaming the psychics misses the bigger picture. Intuition and spiritual guidance are invitations to deepen self-trust and knowledge rather than promises for specific outcomes. Life is shaped by preparation, effort, emotion, energy, timing, and yes… a bit of magic.

    This whole story is a powerful reminder that when you hand over your power to someone else’s prediction, you lose your connection to your own power. Intuition works best when you stay accountable, grounded, and willing to do the work required for what you want.

    So whether you’re taking an essential exam or facing a major life decision, let this be your takeaway – Trust your gut, seek guidance if you want it, but keep your hands on the wheel. That’s where your strength and your success truly come from.
