Halloween




Today is the day to let the past spirits roam are streets and say hello to the loved ones still on earth.

Halloween is the time for all the cute kiddos to dress up and go door to door to collect candy. I love seeing how creative all the little kids dress up. As a child I never liked trick or treating. I was scared seeing the older kids dress up with masks. The fact that I couldn’t see their face was creepy to me. But now that I’m older I look forward for Halloween. With my big bowl of candy and scary music playing in the background for all the kids that come to the door. As I wait for the trick or treaters to arrive I put and a scary movie to really get me into the Halloween spirit.

Speaking about spirit today is the day that many people can feel closer to their past loved ones. I really like to light a candle for all my family members that have past. Knowing that they are watching over me. And by lighting a candle shows them how much I appreciate and love them. I’m not saying that Halloween is the only day to light a candle for a past loved one. You can light candles on special occasion to you or days treat were important to them. 

I’ve been doing some research on Halloween and it dates back 2000 years ago. They used to celebrate it as the being of a new year. because winter would begin and it was the end of harvest season. History says that on this day the boundary between our world and that spiritual world are thinner. So for respect to the spirit world (ancient Gods) people would leave food, drink or portions of their stock as on offering to them. It's said that the should would revisit their home seeking hospitality. And to celebrate this day household would play games intended to foretell the future. and other games like apples bobbing, mirror-gazing, dream interpretations and many more.

Smudging Ritual

Over the weekend my family and I were invited to my cousins, for a house warming party. As I started talking to my mom about what to get her, a Smudging Kit came to mind. Sacred Smoke Bowl Blessing commonly known today as Smudging. It’s a powerful spiritual cleansing technique to purify any space or a brand new home. I had so much fun creating the Smudging Kit. I wanted to share it with you so you can make your own or for family and friend. The kit has all the essential needed smudge stick, small bowl, lighter, candle, feather bundle, and a couple pink quartz to spread the love.  I got excited and started to do some research, I want to know when saging first started, what were the benefits, how often should it be done, where can you buy it and so many more questions. I say that it all started with the Native American to bless an area using sage, flowers and other herbs to clear any unwanted negative energy. This Ceremonial Tradition helps any space feel free of negativ...

The Universal Laws

The Universal Laws This past week I really got interested in learning more about the laws of the universe. When I googled it some said there were 12 others said there were 7. These laws are happening naturally if we understand them or not. Even when we don't understand the connection to any obstacles we encounter in our daily life. By not living in the awareness of these laws. you may feel frustrated, confused and lost about your life's purpose. You may feel everything is going wrong for you, no matter what you do, how you act or how much you plan. Things keep going totally wrong. When people start to live their lives with the awareness of the laws of the universe. Begin to feel better, more productive, confident and feeling everything beginning to go their way. If you start to apply these universal laws you will notice a huge difference in the way you feel. So by practicing each of these laws there is such an advantage for personal word.  I'm sure you just want ...

21x21 Manifestation Challenge

A couple of week ago I saw a manifestation challenge that I’ve never hear or seen before. It’s called the 5x55 manifestation challenge. When I first found the video on YouTube I was in the Dominican Republic, so I decided when I got back home I would start it.  Basically the 5x55 Manifestation Challenge goes something like this. You decide on something you want to manifest. It could be anything from wanting a new car to getting someone to call. Honestly it could be anything your wonderful heart desires. So once you know what you want to manifest, you put it in a sentence “I’m so happy and grateful to be driving my brand new car” for example. Once you have you sentence you need to write it out 55 times for 5 days. It’s that simple. To be honest my hand hurt but by letting go of that pain, trusting and believing that what your writing will come. Makes all the pain worth it and fade away.   Since you get the idea. I want to share a similar challenge I will be doing for t...
