How to Find Inner Silence

Time Needed: 15 minutes a day

Ingredients

• Comfortable place to sit
• (Optional) candle, incense, or essential oils
• At least 15 minutes of quiet, uninterrupted time

Recipe Directions

1. For at least 15 minutes, sit in a comfortable position with closed eyes, hands in your lap with right hand cradled in the left.
2. While you are aware of your thoughts, remain unattached from them. Be aware especially of your sensations.
3. If you have trouble relaxing, try lighting a candle to center your concentration, burn soothing incense, diffuse essential oils, or sit near a running fountain.
4. Now begin feeling your natural breathing as the breath moves in and out of your body. Don't force your breathing or change it any way, just feel and be aware of your body's own natural breaths.
5. As you become aware of thoughts popping up in your mind, let them pass through without focusing your attention on them. Think of this as sitting on a shoreline watching boats pass by. If you find your attention drawn to one thought in particular or find yourself hopping on that boat to explore, get off and return to shore. Simply return your focus to your breathing and let the thought pass by.
6. After at least 15 minutes of sitting in this manner you can get up and end your meditation time.

Exercising Choice

In every relationship, we are tasked with making tough decisions. This can cause us to become afraid of making choices in fear that we are making the wrong one. Here is when Relationship Magick comes in and helps us in Exercising Choice! Read more below to learn the magickal ritual of exercising choice.

Exercising Choice

Time Required: Ten Minutes Per Day

Ingredients:

• Desire to increase relationship with higher powers and beings
• Willingness to do this exercise each day consistently
• Way to keep track of the number of days in a row you have done the exercise

Recipe Directions:

1. Either out loud or silently, say to yourself, "I will now make a conscious choice."
2. Ask yourself a choice question now. "Do I choose to do this or that?” (i.e., relax and read a book or go for a walk.) The question might also be "What do I choose to do right now?"
3. Take a moment to be silent and listen to your inner self. The first answer that comes to you is what you must do. Make sure if you are in a place or time where you cannot do certain things that you do not make those things part of the choice. For example, if you are at work and would get in trouble for sleeping on the job, don’t make one of the choices “go take a nap”.
4. Do this exercise each day for 40 days. If you miss a day, and you most certainly will, start over at Day 1. Don’t beat yourself up for starting over. This is part of the journey and the primary goal is having the practice, not getting to the 40 day goal.

Be sure to keep practicing and reflect on how you are improving at making decisions! If you interested in more guidance in your relationships, be sure to check out our Relationship Magick eBook!

4. Reshape each piece of wire so that each wire has a 90 degree bend.
5. Take one of the metal pieces and measure both lengths of metal on either side of the curve. Snip both the short and long lengths so that the long length is three times as long as the short length. For example, if the short length is 3 inches then the long length should be 9 inches.
6. Do the same for the other rod.
7. Using the scissors, snip a piece from the drinking straw so that the straw is slightly shorter than the short side of the rod.
8. Slide the drinking straw over the short side of the rod, then use the pliers to bend the end of the rod so that the straw can’t slide off. The straw allows you to hold the rod while allowing it to swing freely.

What is an Omnil?

With the release of our book, O is Omnil & Shielding Magick, you might be wondering what is in Omnil? Our goal for the blog today is to explain exactly what is an Omnil and how it would be beneficial to you to learn how to create Omnils and Shields for yourself.

For starters, an Omnil is a three-dimensional whirling protective shield that is able to stay with you wherever you go. The word itself is derived from “Ohm” and “Nil” which means all and nothing respectively. It looks like an energy bubble and is able to separate you from time, space, and events, and can even be programmed to deflect certain kinds of energies and experiences. For example, you can program an omnil to deflect outside influences such as negative energy, gossip, or contact with a certain person or the weather. You can also program an omnil to pull certain influences or thoughts out of your personal space such as the desire for sweets or negative thoughts.

When you program or “key” an omnil, it will deflect everything you program it to deflect and let in everything else. The beauty of an omnil is that the more times it deflects something, the stronger it gets. If you don’t program your omnil, it will deflect everything which is sometimes useful for mediation. An omnil does not take you out of the local space, time, and event continuum in which you live. It simply separates you from certain events and influences that you specify.

That is all for Omnil and Shields today! I hope you learned what exactly an Omnil was and are interested in checking our Omnil Magick book! Stay tuned for next week where we will revisit Java Magick!

Financial Freedom is the status of having enough income or wealth sufficient to pay one's living expenses for the rest of one's life without having to be employed or dependent on others. That sounds like something we all want right? If not, here are the benefits that being financially independent can bring you.

Why is Financial Freedom Important?

1. More Security / Less Stress.
2. Control Over Your Time.
3. Choose to Pursue Other Passions.
4. Your Actions Can be More Aligned With Your Values.
5. Take More Risks.

If being Financial Free sounds appealing to you, make sure to check out our Money Magic eBook. But today we will also share some flower essences that can be beneficial to you in gaining answers toward obtaining Financial Freedom.

Financially Free Flower Essences

• Angelica: This flower essence puts you in touch with Spirit helpers, especially when you feel the need for spiritual guidance or protection. This essence is wonderful if you feel shut down or out of touch with the spiritual world.
  
  
  
• Lotus: The reason that the Lotus flower is so prominent in many religions (especially Eastern religions) is because this flower opens the seventh chakra. This chakra, once opened, allows spiritual energy to enter the physical and energetic body. The awakening of the seventh chakra is often associated with enlightenment in many cultures. For those who wish for enlightened information through dreams, Lotus is a perfect solution.
  
  
  
• Potato: Sometimes it can be difficult to be both dreamer and pragmatist. Or, more specifically, it can be difficult to translate the information you receive in your dreams into practical action steps that will help you achieve your goals. Potato is an excellent flower essence to help you keep one foot in each world—the dream world and the waking everyday world. Potato is one of the best flower essences for “bridging” the two worlds.
  
  
  
• Star Tulip: This flower essence is sometimes called Cat’s Ear and can be useful if you typically dream of mundane events (running errands, daily tasks, and events from recent days). Star Tulip helps you become more sensitive to messages from Spirit and other helpers, raising the level of dream vibrations so you that you receive enlightened and useful higher-level guidance.
  
  
  
• Wormwood: If you know that you dream but have a difficult time remembering enough dream fragments to record in your dream diary, Wormwood can help. This flower essence can help you extend the state of twilight consciousness so you gather and record more dream fragments.
  
  
  

Dress for High Energy with Fire Colors

A fun way to give yourself some energy is by being careful with the colors in how you dress. The colors of the clothes that you wear can have an impact on how you feel throughout the day due to the magickal properties of colors. If you want to give yourself a good boost of energy, it is important to dress in the Fire Colors. Along with learning to how to give yourself a boost of energy with how you dress, you can learn a lot more about energy by reading our Java Magick book!

The Fire Colors and their Meanings:

• Sun Yellow – Affects spirit's vitality and alertness. If feeling spiritually groggy, take on more sun yellow. Sun yellow can give you an energy boost or lift up your mood. If you feel too excited then dump sun yellow. You can give sun yellow to anyone at any time safely and it is the one color that you don't have to have their permission to give because it does not negatively affect the person's ability to make choices. If someone is losing life force, sun yellow is a great color to give them or if you just need a physical energy boost, use sun yellow.
• Yellow Orange – Affects the spirit and physical neural system. This is the color of the energy of reaction. Using this color by either adding more or taking some away can speed up or slow down a person's level of reactivity. Too much yellow orange can make a person jittery, anxious, nervous, jumpy or cranky. Fear is generally a mental-neural phenomenon associated with yellow orange. Conditions resulting from too much yellow orange energy will not have fever or body flushing. That will fall in the category of Red Orange. Using small amounts of this orangey color can draw attention to you or make you the “life of the party”.
• Red Orange – Affects the physical neural system and body metabolism. It is similar to Yellow Orange but more physical, more related to the body. Red orange is the color of pain, anger, or fever.
• Bright Red – Affects the body's metabolism and temperature and is not related to the neural system at all. Bright red cannot make you angry or irritable. It can be used to raise body temperature to a high level without hurting it or damaging the nervous system. This can be done for a person who is drunk for example, to burn the alcohol out of their system. Increasing bright red is also a way to lose weight by getting rid of hard fats (with soft fats you also have to dump water energy).
• Deep Red/Red Purple – Affects the circulatory and glandular systems and fluids, but not the body's metabolism or burning rate. It can be used to boost passion and sexual arousal. It is also a good choice to use with frostbite to safely raise the temperature of the blood without damaging body tissue.
• Electric Blue – Has all the bands of color in it, much the same as what many refer to as "white light". It is the color at the bottom of every flame and is the driving force of the Universe. It can be used with a variety of techniques for things such as protection, blasting objects to unkey them and sweeping the body in healing work.

There you have the very detailed descriptions of the Fire colors. Be sure to incorporate them in strategic ways in order to give yourself a high boost of energy. If you enjoyed learning about the meanings behind Magickal Colors, be sure to check our Kitchen Table Magick Series out!

The Ingredients Needed for Money Magick

I think we can all imagine having all the money that we need in the world. It would be nice to not have to stress over long hours and hard tasks in order to obtain the resources to maintain our standard of living. Thankfully, we at Esoteric School of Shamanism and Magic have got your back. In addition to releasing our Money Magick Book We also decided to give you a little head start in letting you know the ingredients to Money Magick.

The Ingredients Needed for Money Magick

Just as relationships between people can go sour, so can relationships with other items or concepts, such as health, career, and money. To change your relationship to anything simply requires you tell yourself a different story about it.

Since the Universe responds to your intention and vibration, what you believe “is”. No matter how much is in your bank account, if you feel wealthy and believe you are and always will be wealthy, your bank account will reflect that feeling and belief. On the other hand, if you are always short of money, then you need to look at the “story” you tell yourself about money. It is also useful to examine how your vibration about money attracts the amount and longevity of money in your life.

The recipes in this book present exercises and rituals for you to perform that will:

• Change your relationship with money
• Change the story you tell yourself about your abundance or lack of money

Teach you how to work with Higher Powers and Beings to open the way for the Universe to deliver more money to you.

In conclusion, the rituals in Money Magick provide simple yet effective magical rituals to transform your relationship with money so it comes into your life in better ways—with more ease and speed, and in greater quantity.

NoCrastination Magick and the Magickal Creation Sequence

The idea behind Kitchen Table Magick’s NoCrastination Magick eBook is to help you understand the Magickal Creation Sequence. Now, you maybe wondering, what is the Magickal Creation Sequence? To put it simply, it is the steps that any person takes to manifest what they want to create in their lives. While what these steps are exactly and the order in which they need to be completed isn’t completely known, they can be generalized into two different decision.

These two decisions are the Base and Control Decisions.

Base Decision - The Base Decision is the Yes or No decision that decides whether you or whoever would like to move ahead with a project of task. This is decision is usually made before all others.

Control Decisions - Control Decisions are the collection of detailed decisions that are required to carry out the various action steps in a project or a task to completion. These are the steps that usually require planning out and taking action for something to be actually completed.

The Magickal Creation Sequence differs from the modern world today because it puts the GO decision before everything else. Society usually teaches us to come up with an action plan before deciding to invest time and effort into a project, however, how is the Universe supposed to help you if it isn’t even sure if you want to continue forward.

2. To the left of the line write "Things I Want to Be, Do or Have Today".
3. To the right of the line write "Things I Want the Universe to Bring Me Today".
4. Then start writing on the left side of the paper all the things you really want to be, do, or have. This is not a to-do list for the day, so don't write things you have to do or should do or that you don't want to do. Only write down things that inspire you, that you are anticipating with joy, or that are pleasing to you.
5. After you've taken a few minutes to write on the left, switch to writing on the right side of the page. Write what you want the Universe to do for you today or to bring you. This could be things you feel you have no control over, things you don't want to do but are required to for some reason, or things you don't even want to think about. You might ask for the Universe to bring you inspiration or willingness to face and do these things or ask the Universe to take care of those things for you or you might just ask for being joyful or peaceful for whatever situations you have to face today.
6. After you have finished the lists on both the left and the right side of the paper, take 17 seconds to focus on each item on the list with a feeling of pure positive emotion. Envision those things you want being a reality and already yours, focus on the vision of those things you weren't so wild about already completed and out of the way. Just beam with positive energy and emotion for those 17 seconds and you'll find the rest of your day will be more carefree and less stressful.
