Ensure you will be undisturbed while you meditate and work this spell. Approx 10-15 minutes time to complete.</p>
<p>I learned an abundance spell years ago that i can still say by heart.. i cant remember which book it was from:<br />
but you visualize a cornucopia full of coin, money, jewels..overflowing with in it.</p>
<p>with your minds eye you open the door underneath the cornucopia and visualize this all falling around you, filling up around you.. then you imagine, visualize everything good you would do with it. your intent etc&#8230;</p>
<p>and once you have you say &#8211; - -</p>
<blockquote><p>May the blessings of the cornucopia of the Goddess shower down upon me an un-ending supply that ends want and need in my life and the lives of my loved ones and friends. I accept my portion of good fortune for there is plenty to go around. Serendipity rules in my life. Abundance is mine. so mote it be.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://www.sheburns.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/unfolding_479x600.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-179 colorbox-178" title="higher conscience" src="http://www.sheburns.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/unfolding_479x600-150x150.jpg" alt="higher conscience" width="150" height="150" /></a>Visualization can be very hard for some people. At an early age our imaginations have been supressed by some parents, alot of times people lose the ability to use their imagination.</p>
<p>Maybe you left your inner child- alone. Alone to the point where it&#8217;s very difficult to bring your inner child back to life.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve read alot of books over the year and have never been able to &#8220;see&#8221; things in my mind, let alone imagine manipulating a ball of energy. Sometimes it takes years of searching until something finally works!</p>
<p>As a child I seen and felt things&#8230;which I won&#8217;t go into, but it&#8217;s been nearly 25 years since I was finally able to visualize.</p>
<p>One thing that has helped me is meditation. I write alot about meditating, but for me it works. Maybe if you <span id="more-178"></span>are having the same sorts of troubles, it might be something for you to try.</p>
<p>The first thing I would do is search for &#8220;guided meditations&#8221;. Guided meditations are just that. The voice on the meditation paints a picture, puts you on a path and you follow. If you find a few and they aren&#8217;t working for you then you want to try different ones. I feel pretty strongly about guided meditations because of the difficulty *I* had, and guided meditations worked for me.</p>
<p>In the many Witchcraft 101 books that I&#8217;ve read I have tried to do what the exercises said..followed the instructions on grounding.. but basically I was reading the words, trying to feel it with all my might..and just KNOW its working. Well, that&#8217;s not good enough I&#8217;ve come to discover =)</p>
<p>When it finally worked for me I had an emotional experience. Truly! My whole body resonated. I could feel the vibrations throughout my entire body &#8211; and the most important thing to me that I felt was a feeling of &#8220;coming home&#8221;. Being cradled in such loving arms that I never felt before in my life &#8211; and I broke down and cried for an hour and talked about it to my husband for 3. It was truly an experience to remember.</p>
<p>As always I give credit where credit is due and <a href="http://www.newagekids.com/">Chitra Sukhu </a>was the creator of the meditations that I used.Theyre a chakra healing meditation and I just adore her work that she does with children!</p>
<p>What does chakra&#8217;s have to do with what you are looking for? Well for me it meant the difference between &#8220;<strong>reading </strong>the words&#8221; on <em>how </em>to ground and <strong>being connected </strong>to the Earth. Once I learned how to do this, doing this on my own without the use of guided meditations.</p>
<p>There is no one right way to do things, so you need to find what works for you. Perhaps you&#8217;re not ready to take it to the next level. Which is totally logical. Not accomplishing doesn&#8217;t mean failure &#8211; it just means you need to continue searching. You have it within you. You will find it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><em><a href="http://www.sheburns.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/cauldron.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-167 colorbox-166" title="cauldron" src="http://www.sheburns.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/cauldron-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Someone </em>has done you wrong. Anger sets in and you jump the gun. You&#8217;ve tried everything in the &#8220;book&#8221; to make <strong>things </strong>right and they don&#8217;t go right, so an unrational person may take matters into her own hands and make them how they feel things should be. (speaking from experience here).</p>
<p>The worse thing you can do is harness that anger and send it out in a spell. Such spells contain so much power &#8211; something is going to go <strong>wrong </strong>and I don&#8217;t mean witchy is going to get a blister from hot wax.</p>
<p><em>Other </em>things in your life are going awry and you want to change those things to. Make them better! There&#8217;s absolutely nothing wrong with that. I mean you&#8217;re the type of person who would help anyone they could. Even if it is just lending an ear.</p>
<p>Whilst there is no magick formula to <strong>win </strong>the lottery there are many ways to get what you want, but you have to believe in your<strong>self</strong>. If you don&#8217;t have that, don&#8217;t bother, until you do. You are just setting your SELF up for failure and another night full of crying the blues.</p>
<p>For myself, simple &#8220;<em>want</em>&#8221; doesn&#8217;t <strong>get </strong>me what I want. I have to feel it. Usually that passion, for <em>myself</em>,<span id="more-166"></span> involves much heartache, tears and finally anger. You can&#8217;t <strong>create </strong>good while you have tears running down your face or a stress headache running up the back of your neck.</p>
<p>For <strong>good </strong>things to happen you must <strong>feel </strong>good. If you don&#8217;t feel good about your self or your situation, then you&#8217;re not going to have any positive results, why? Because every negative thought <em>cancels </em>out any positive. Considering the fact that thinking negative is alot simpler than thinking positive &#8211; when you are in a some what of a desperate situation.</p>
<p>Does this mean we <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>aren&#8217;t </strong></span>supposed to have things we want and desire? Perhaps feeling <strong>that </strong>way is what sets us up for failure &#8211; in ALL things. To feel not worthy enough to <em>have </em>what we want.</p>
<p>I think everyone truly deserves to <strong>be </strong>happy and <strong>find </strong>happiness. Perhaps some of lifes little obstacles.. well MOST of lifes little obstacles &#8211; could be caused by ones <strong>own </strong>actions. <strong>We have to be responsible for the life we lead</strong>.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy for me to reach out from the depths of depression, anger or whatever OTHER negative emotion I might be feeling and blame someone ELSE&#8230; but while I am blaming someone ELSE, <strong>who </strong>was the reason that someone <em>else </em>is involved in this? My own self. I brought this into my life and I just need to own it. Forgive it. Release it. I don&#8217;t need to divorce. What would that do? Allow me to find someone else? Sure why not. Will it work? Doubt it. I haven&#8217;t fixed the problem &#8211; myself. Not to mention all additional problems that come along with a divorce *shudders*</p>
<p>Trust me the older you get <strong>and </strong>the more you harbor ill will the harder it is going to be to get rid of it.</p>
<p>I also feel it is a really BAD idea to <strong>try </strong>to cast a spell during this state of mind &#8211; if passion is what drives you &#8211; and chances are it does. You don&#8217;t know how many times I have wanted to.. but I always &#8211; talk myself out of it, just as fast as I start to think about it. Something really horrible <strong>could </strong>happen to someone I actually care about and I could not live with the outcome of that.</p>
<p>So in other words no matter how angry you are at someone or a situation &#8211; just dont do it. For example: as much as I blame someone else for my own BS, that person will no doubt get the wrath.. no matter how carefully you &#8220;word&#8221; something.</p>
<p>Instead of doing something you will regret later you need to &#8211; and <em>I </em>need to &#8211; separate yourself from the situation.</p>
<p>Meditate.</p>
<p>That is an excellent way of at least getting out of the situation for a little while. Perhaps making meditation a daily ritual will help. Medicating ones self won&#8217;t do the trick. Nothing but finding peace &#8211; will. Soul search, ask your higher self for guidance. I find that Chakra meditations help at least for a little while. Self hypnosis even has its perks. I have taken it upon myself to meditate 40 minutes a day. Some days if i can find the time and the quiet &#8211; I will do it again. I will go to bed at night and listen to a meditation on positive thoughts as i go to sleep. Binaural beats are supposed to be helpful however I haven&#8217;t found any I &#8220;trust&#8221; lol Not so sure I want subliminal messages flowing through my mind. Not knowing what is being programmed into my mind is not something I want to deal with.</p>
<p>Also, writing helps. Start your own blog. There&#8217;s plenty of free space out on the internet including wordpress.com , blogger.com etc. You can even write long looooooong notes on your facebook page..if you don&#8217;t mind airing out your dirty laundry &#8211; if you do, make your posts private. Me, I am an open book. Why? Not because I am an attention whore, but because I truly can use the help and guidance.</p>
<p>Positive affirmations are also helpful. Trying to flood your thoughts with good thoughts instead of negative thoughts. It is so easy to stumble and think negative. It&#8217;s much simpler to put yourself down than to build yourself up. What was it they used to say about Rome? =)</p>
<p>This may not be a helpful post to too many, but if you&#8217;re hurting, maybe you might take something good, from it.</p>
<p>Blessed Be,</p>
<p>The Crazy Witch =)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://www.sheburns.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Practical+magic+house+51.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-160 colorbox-152" title="Practical+magic+house+5" src="http://www.sheburns.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Practical+magic+house+51-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Who wouldn&#8217;t want to be awakened from a deep sleep to the sound of a blender whirrring ? I have watched many a movie in my day .. but this one stands out the most. Not because I am a crazy <strong>witch </strong>who believes that all handsome exotic men should really be brought to life.. after killing them.</p>
<p>The reason it was so memorable is because myself and a great friend went to the theater together to see it. I love the movie and have replaced a few worn out dvd&#8217;s of it.</p>
<p>Find yourself longing for that feeling you get.. when you think of a special time? I often times do. In this crazy world in which we live in it&#8217;s hard to muster up the smiles some times, let alone have a feeling of inner peace and happiness.<span id="more-152"></span></p>
<p>I looked out my window while working today and seen nothing but gray skies. On a &#8220;normal&#8221; day I&#8217;d wrinkle up my nose and sigh in a really bummed out kind of way&#8230;but for some reason I felt compelled to go outside. As soon as work was over and done with (pish posh!) out the door I went and put on my favorite meditation for the <strong>Chakra&#8217;s </strong>- by <a title="Chitra Sukhu" href="http://www.facebook.com/chitrasukhu" target="_blank">Chitra Sukhu</a></p>
<p>I asked for guidance and got an answer and today I am giving it life. I hope you stick around a while.. Maybe even follow me on <a title="Follow me on twitter" href="http://twitter.com/#!/sheburnscandles" target="_blank">Twitter</a> &#8230;I may tweet something that doesn&#8217;t make me sound like a total twat <img src='http://www.sheburns.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley colorbox-152' /> ~ Enjoy your day &#8211; no matter what you do!</p>
<p>Blessed be,</p>
<p>The <strong>Witch</strong></p>
