Magically Write Your Troubles Off

Having trouble sleeping at night with worries tumbling through your head and possibly into your dreams? Writing can help you release your worries, concerns and troubles so you can get a good night's sleep. This magical exercise works well as a nightly magical ritual, but can also be done any time you need to work through stressful or traumatic issues. It is one of the many techniques presented in our Daily Rituals for Attracting What You Want in Life ebook.


How It Works
It sounds simple to just write your troubles away, but there are a few guidelines to follow for this act to allow you to unload and release your worries. Just writing on and on about an issue can let it take over your life and not find release. As many people who journal regularly know, writing is a good unloading or venting technique. But to look at this exercise from a magical standpoint, writing takes your thoughts and feelings out of you and anchors them onto paper. Once these thoughts and feelings have a physical anchor, outside of your body, they won't weigh as heavy on you because they now do not have their anchor inside of you. Here are the steps to follow to magically write your troubles away:

1. Set an appointment with yourself during a specific time each day. Nighttime works well to clear out troubles or issues that have come up during the day to prepare you for sleep, but it can be any time throughout the day. Put the time on your calendar or whatever system you use to remind yourself of appointments.

2. At the appointed time, sit down for 5 minutes with paper and pen.

3. Use a watch or timer to time yourself to stop at the end of 5 minutes.

4. Start writing all your negative thoughts, worries, concerns or any issues that came up during the day to cause you stress. Write down as much as you can during your 5 minutes – information about the issues, how you feel about them, what your worries (rational or irrational) about them are, etc... Anything that comes into your head about them.

5. At the end of 5 minutes, stop writing.

Why 5 Minutes
Writing for just 5 minutes ensures that you get your issues down on paper, but that they don't overwhelm your life. Writing for too long a time will cause you to become too attached to the issues. Having a 5 minute appointment with yourself also helps ensure that you will keep doing this ritual and consistency is important for it to work. People tend to make excuses of not having time to do rituals that take longer, but everyone can work 5 minutes into their schedule.

Put It Away and Move On
Make sure you have a safe place to keep the paper you have written on. It should be kept somewhere that you cannot see it or touch it during the normal course of your day. You might have a special file folder to keep it in a file cabinet or have a special notebook that you keep put up on a shelf. Wherever you choose to keep it, just make sure it is kept separate from your daily life. After all the point of the exercise is to get these issues out of your life, so you don't want to be stumbling across them all the time.

Follow this procedure with discipline and consistency each night and you will soon find that the worries, troubles and concerns that were bothering you have stopped being so important and bothersome. I'll say it again - Consistency is a key element in the results of the exercise. Done consistently, you will start to see a division between daily life and your private or rest times. These bothersome issues will interfere less and less with your daily life and you'll be able to get a better night's sleep.

Online Magic Tip: Your One Hand Knows Secrets Your Other Hand Doesn't

Here's a handy online magic tip that is just one of the many you'll find in the second book in our Witchcraft Spell Books Kindle books series entitled Learn How to Do Witchcraft Rituals and Spells with Household Ingredients. This online magic tip helps you in getting information from the Universe which as a planetary citizen you have every right to access. A little spiritual guidance or help from higher powers and beings can help you even get information that is stored in the Akashic Records (records of Universal history).

How Accessing Information Helps You
First, why would you want to access this type of information and how will it help you? Mainly this type of information can make your life's journey easier. Your daily life can become much more enjoyable the more you ask for help and information from angels, guides, animal totems or your own Spirit. Whereas Mind tends to tell us things that have been tainted by society and many misperceptions, Spirit always gives us truth and doesn't lead us astray.

Left Hand, Right Hand Ritual
This online magic tip ritual we call the Left Hand, Right Hand Ritual makes you a channel for the information you need or want to access. Basically you ask yourself questions with your dominant hand and answer them with your other hand. To do this online magic tip, follow these steps:

1. Get a compass to find the cardinal direction East. For this ritual you will sit in the East facing West, so it is important to make sure you have the correct direction identified. East is the direction of knowledge and communication so sitting in the East will facilitate this communication ritual and help you access knowledge.

2. You will also need a table put in front of where you will be sitting. On this table you will need a Sun Yellow candle, wooden or paper matches, and a pen and paper. You could use a journal or Book of Shadows for the paper if you wish.

3. Once you have everything ready from Steps 1 and 2, sit comfortably in the East facing West and light the candle and charge it with the Sun Candle Blessing ritual.

4. The hand you naturally point with is considered your dominant hand. Use this hand to write your question or questions that you are seeking information about. For example, you may have just gone through a traumatic event and you might write, "What lesson am I to learn from (describe your current event or situation)?

5. Now switch the pen to your other hand and write the answer. It doesn't matter what the writing looks like as long as it is legible to you so don't spend time worrying about that. Also don't stop to think about the answer. Just write the first thing that your hand feels inspired to write.

6. Sometimes you may be surprised at the answer or the answer may not make sense to you. Don't try to force sense from it. Keep the answer in your consciousness for a few days and see what happens. It may be that you have only received a partial answer so that it will be easier to digest and other things will come up to fill in blanks.

You can repeat this online magic tip ritual as many days as you need to until you get all the information you need. Be patient with the process and enjoy watching the knowledge and understanding unfold and the results become clearer. Your answers will come in perfect timing with your ability to process and use them.

Ritual Magic: A Daily Ritual of Fire Magic to Release the Unwanted

If the New Year has brought about awareness of something you would like to release from your life (something that's been bothering you or something no longer needed), a simple daily ritual of fire magic can help.

Ritual Magic: Finding a Firebowl
First you will need a firebowl and firebowl ingredients. When choosing a firebowl, look for one that is made of brass, cast-iron, ceramic or a hard hardwood. It should be 4-6 inches in diameter and 4-5 inches deep. It should also be a shape that is easily held with one or both hands and light enough to carry in one hand if necessary. Make sure your firebowl is of a shape that will be stable when placed on a flat surface. The shape of the bowl should also be curved-in and flared back out at the top rim to promote "columning" of incense or smoke.

Ritual Magic: Firebowl Ingredients
Fire Clay
To use your firebowl you will need to fill it with ground fire clay or clean, fine sand. Non-scented cat litter (which is ground clay) works well as long as it does not have chemicals or deodorants in it. Put 1-2 inches in the bottom of your firebowl as an insulator to protect the firebowl itself, your hands and any surfaces from the heat.

Charcoal Disks
You will also need some self-starting charcoal disks. These can be purchased from religious supply stores or online (we have them in our school store too). Round charcoals with bowl-shaped depressions in the middle are the best to use. There is a kind with pie shaped depressions, but we find these do not work as well.

Matches
You will need wooden or paper matches to light your charcoal. The scent and energetic side-bands associated with butane and other petroleum products change the fire-band you are working with so don't use lighters to light the charcoal disk.

Other Ingredients
You will need to collect or purchase pine resin to burn on the charcoal disk as well as finely ground or rubbed sage. If you collect sage, you can grind it in a blender or coffee grinder. You also need to collect some finely chopped or shaved wood chips or tree bark. This is used to insulate the charcoal from the pine resin or incense that you burn in the firebowl and to facilitate the burning of the materials you use in your firebowl. You will sprinkle the shavings on the charcoal and then put the pine resin and sage on top of it. The last thing you will need for this exercise is a Sun Yellow utility candle. Make sure it is pure sun yellow  colored without any orange tones to it. An unscented candle is best to use.

Ritual Magic: Charging the Firebowl
Charging your firebowl programs it for a specific purpose. Since magic is a precision science, charging your firebowl for certain operations makes it more effective by stating the intended purpose and programming that into the tool. Charging is not an invocation or prayer to spirit-beings or deities, just a program. Here is how to charge your firebowl.

1. Stand or sit in the South facing North with your firebowl and materials in front of you.

2. Light your Sun Yellow utility candle with a wooden or paper match.

3. Light another wooden or paper match from your candle flame and use this to light the charcoal disk. The disk will begin to spark within seconds. If the charcoal is old or damp, you may need to use metal tongs to hold it over the flame for several minutes or light the top of it in the center of the bowl-shaped depression. Most of you will realize that once the disk is lit, you don't touch it with your hands, but for beginners who have never used one before we like to add this word of caution – It is hot, just like a charcoal on a BBQ grill.

4. Once the charcoal sitting in your firebowl is lit, pull Sun Yellow energy from your utility candle into yourself and blow it out onto the disk.

5. Add the wood shavings onto the charcoal, then the pine resin and finally the sage.

6. Wait for it to produce a good column of smoke and add more sage or resin if needed.

7. A voice of command should be used when saying the charge verse. The verse will vary according to what you are programming the firebowl for. Here is a basic firebowl charge verse (used for a house cleansing) and then some substitutions you may want to use in creating a verse specifically for this exercise depending on what you are releasing from your life.
"Fire and Air where you are cast,
Let no spell nor adverse purpose last,
Not in accord with me!
Cleanse these walls and cleanse this space,
Far from here send baneful trace!
Thus my will, so it be!"
This charge verse is obviously for doing a cleansing of a room, house, ritual magic circle or some other space. Some substitutions you can make to suit your purpose include:
  • Cleanse these tools and cleanse their space (instead of Cleanse these walls...)
  • Cleanse these people and cleanse their space (when clearing negative energy from yourself or others)
  • In place of "spell" or "adverse" or "baneful" you can substitute anger, grief, trauma or any other applicable term. For example lines could be changed to "Let no fear nor sickness last" or "Far from here send cancerous trace". Just be sure when applying substitutions of words that you do not disturb the rhythm of the original verse.
Ritual Magic: Fire Magic Daily Ritual
Now that you have your firebowl and know how to charge it, you are ready to begin the fire magic daily ritual to release what it is that is bothering you or that you find no longer serves you. Everyday write on a small piece of paper what you want to release. Charge the firebowl, and then burn the paper in the firebowl. This works because "Thoughts are things and words have wings." In other words, writing things down makes them more material, more real. Burning the paper changes the unwanted item into simple fire magic, fire energy, with no negative charge. Sometimes you may have to repeat this ritual for 3, 7, or 11 days before you see change. Be sure to record results in your Book of Shadows to ensure you notice any changes. Magic often happens but we sometimes fail to see the changes.

The firebowl is just one of the magical tools that can help you bring ritual magic into your life for a variety of purposes. You can learn more about using magical tools in our online Basic Magic Class or specifically more uses for the firebowl in our Firebowl - Cleansing Tool Ebook.

Magically Change Your Life With Future Memories

Ever become stuck when trying to change your life? Most of us have experienced trying to make a change of some sort that we just can’t seem to accomplish. Take for example, my friend who wants to incorporate more exercise into her daily routine. She started learning yoga and did it every day for about a month, then the desire to keep with it just faded away. Next she got an exercise video and set up 3 days and times to follow along which lasted about 3 weeks before it too just faded out. Her next plan revolved around thinking that several smaller time periods of exercise would be more doable, so she set alarms throughout the day to exercise for just 10 minutes at a time. Soon the alarms just got turned off and so did she on this daily ritual. Finally, she read an article saying that taking 2 fifteen minute walks a day would provide the extra exercise she needed and there she went off and running (or walking in this case). Now it may sound to you like my friend is just a flake with no willpower and a touch of laziness. But I can assure you this is very far from the truth. In most things she undertakes, she is able to set a goal and follow the steps to its completion. She just has this one area that time and time again she fails to accomplish her goal even though she really does want to achieve it.

Future Memories
Situations like this are where future memories can help magically change your life. This is one of the many useful techniques you can find in our Daily Rituals for Attracting What you Want in Life ebook. Usually we think of memories as being of the past. Future memories however are about what we will do, will say or will experience in the future. Future memories pave the way for us from the present to our desired future. When you create future memories, add specifics like emotions, thoughts, and actions to make them seem real. The more energy put into the creation of a future memory the more likely they will manifest for us.

Creating Future Memories
Here are steps to take in creating future memories:

1. Sit in a quiet space with body and mind relaxed

2. See in your mind a situation that would cause you to fail your goal

3. Stop yourself in this vision and remember your goal.

4. Let yourself experience and “really feel” how difficult it is to stop the distraction, the craving, or whatever it is that is preventing you from reaching your goal. Feel the emotion involved, recognize the thoughts you are thinking and bring the vision to life by adding as much “texture” to it as you can.

5. Then see yourself in the vision doing an alternate solution; one that will lead you to accomplishing your goal. Include as many of your senses as you can – the feel of objects, smells around you, sounds, etc…

Example of Creating a Future Memory
Here’s how this might work for my friend and her goal to exercise more:

She sits in a quiet place becoming relaxed. She sees a vision of herself in the morning in front of her desk with the list of things to do today on it. She recognizes how she would normally decide she better get started on that list and put off taking a walk until she is finished. In the vision, she notices the color of the paper the To Do List is written on, how smooth the paper feels as she picks it up. She notices the smell of coffee coming from the kitchen and the sound of the egg timer going off in the background. She pays attention to the thought of putting off walking until she gets at least some of the list done and feels the guilt and struggle inside herself caused by this. She then stops herself in the vision and sees herself calling up a friend that lives nearby. She feels the phone in her hand, sees herself punching each of the numbers on the phone, hears the phone ringing and the call being answered. She creates a conversation of asking if the friend would like to come walk with her and the friend agreeing that she’ll be right over. She lets herself experience the feeling of joy, pride and accomplishment of going for the walk. She is aware of the thought that taking a 10 minute walk is not going to affect whether her To Do List gets done or not and that it will more likely give her the energy to get more done.

Spending just 3 minutes a day for several days in a row creating future memories will help you not be as tempted by distractions that keep you from achieving your goal. Future memories become friendly reminders to your future self of how you can avoid pitfalls and of strategies to reach your goal. The more time and energy you put into creating your future memories, the more real they will be and the faster they will manifest into reality. Give some thought to what things keep you “stuck”? What in your life could creating future memories help you accomplish?

Developing a Magickal Practice

Our last newsletter article gave you several daily rituals to explore using to invite magick into your life and discover your own magickal pathway. I hope you have had time to try at least one of these out by now. If not, no worries, you can get started anytime you are ready, but of course there is no time like the present and really you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by getting started. Keep in mind that the more you pay into your magickal practice the more you will get out of it. In other words, the more consistent you are with your practice, the more results you will see. No matter which of the rituals you picked, aim for doing it each day for 40 days in a row. This will help you develop consistency in your practice. Although the goal is to practice your ritual 40 days in a row that is merely the goal to go towards. The consistency comes from the journey on your magickal path. Here's the part that really helps you develop consistency: If you miss a day when aiming for your 40 days, you must start over at day 1. I don't know anyone that has not had to start over at day 1 so don't beat yourself up when it happens. Just know it is all part of the process.

Just to make all this even easier for you and give you the simplest magickal exercise to practice aiming for 40 days in a row, here's the Consistency Exercise.

1. Choose a very simple act (ie. – touching your nose or making a mark on a paper)

2. Pick the time of day that you will do your act every day.

3. When the time you have chosen comes, do the simple act. Do it every day at the same time for 40 days in a row.

4. If you miss a day during your 40 days, which you almost certainly will, you must begin your 40 days over at day 1. Even if you are at day 39 and miss the next day, you start over at 1.

5. Remind yourself the important thing is to do the exercise, not accomplish the goal, so do not berate yourself when you end up missing a day and have to start over.

This exercise works as an act of intention which makes it a magickal act and by choosing a simple intentional act to do every day at the same time then consciously doing it you are able to:
  • increase the level and quality of your connection to the higher
  • bring yourself back to present time
  • invite magick in to be a part of your everyday life
  • build your inner force
  • become more comfortable with practicing your magickal skills in public
  • make changes to your habitual thought patterns.

Try the Consistency Exercise for yourself and keep it going. Then use the same principle using some of the other daily rituals we've presented you. Remember, what you pay into your practice will pay you back in unexpected ways. When you're ready to move on to more magickal learning consider our collection of Kindle books or ebooks that can help you open the doorway and invite even more magic into your life.

Yet Another Magical Ritual to Help You See Your Financial Blind Spots

We've been finding a lot of interest being expressed to us lately about the topic we've been covering in our recent newsletters and blog articles about how to attract money and finding our financial blind spots. And why not? With everything getting more and more expensive these days we'd all like to know how to attract money wouldn't we? So far on this topic we've shared some of the rituals from our Witchcraft Spell Book: The Complete Guide of Witchcraft Rituals & Spells for Beginners and here we have one more to offer.

Preparing for How to Attract Money
The rituals we've been discussing are not actual magic spells for how to attract money, but rather rituals to help you pre-pave the way and be in the proper mindset to receive money or anything else that you desire when you are co-creating with the Universe. Often the Universe is ready to deliver what we have asked for, but we have a block that is keeping it from getting to us. The big problem comes when we don't even know what those blocks are or we have a real financial blind spot going on. Learning how to attract money or anything else we've asked for requires that we find out what those blocks are and work through them to open ourselves for what we want to flow to us.

Left Hand/Right Hand Ritual
This ritual for getting answers is one we call Left Hand, Right Hand. Magically speaking there is a disconnection between your right hand and your left hand which represents a disconnection between mind and Spirit. With this ritual you can literally question the Universe with one hand and ask for information or guidance and receive the answers through your other hand. Here's exactly how to perform this ritual:

1. Using a compass, determine the cardinal direction East.

2. Sit in the East (which is the direction of knowledge and communication) facing West.

3. On a flat surface in front of you have a Sun Yellow candle, wooden or paper matches, paper and a pen.

4. Light your candle and charge it with the following verse and wait for there to be a tall working flame on the candle before going on.
"Child of Wonder,
Child of Flame,
Nourish My Spirit,
And protect my Aim."
5. For most people, their dominant hand is the one they write with, but in some cases this is not true. Point at something and the hand you pointed with is your dominant hand. Use this hand to write the question on your paper that you want help answering or that will lend itself to guidance. For example, you might write, "Why can I not keep a job?" or "What is causing me to not be promoted?" or simply, "What issues do I have that prevent money from coming to me?".

6. Now switch your pen to your other hand and write the answer. Don't worry about how the writing looks as long as you can read it. Don't stop to think about answers either, remember we are by-passing Mind to get our answers from higher powers and beings communicating through Spirit. Just write the first thing that comes to you. You may be surprised by what you get, don't question it, just write it down.

At first the answer you wrote may not make any sense to you. That's OK. Just keep the answer in your consciousness for a few days and see what happens. Sometimes answers come a small bit at a time instead of big chunks. That makes them easier for us to get a full understanding. There may be more information, events or situations that will come in the next few days that will give you a better understanding of your answer, so be aware of those. You can also make this a daily ritual and do it as many days as you need to until you have the understanding and information you seek. Remember it's not always the end goal that is the most important, but the journey to get there. Be patient and enjoy watching the process unfold that brings you to knowledge, understanding and enlightenment. This process will always be in perfect timing with our ability to process and use it.

Another Magical Ritual to Help You See Your Financial Blind Spots

In our September 2 newsletter we talked about the financial blind spots we have that keep us in the dark as to why money is not flowing into our realities. In learning how to attract money and establishing a good relationship with money, it is important to pave the way for that flow to come to us. The Universe is willing and ready to deliver what we desire, but often we "get in our own way" and block the flow from getting to us. The newsletter article gave directions for doing a Question Circle to consult the beings of the four directions for insights and guidance. Another daily ritual you'll find in our Witchcraft Spell Book: The Complete Guide of Witchcraft Rituals & Spells for Beginners is how to consult the Spirit of Owl.

Spirit of Owl
The spirit of Owl is a particularly good totem to consult for guidance because it has many of the best qualities of physical owls including:
  • very keen sight, especially at night which means they are able to see what is hidden
  • excellent hearing
  • able to turn head 270 degrees (eyes in the back of the head ability)
  • excellent hunting skills
  • reputation for wisdom

You can see how these attributes would make Owl a good one to help figure out those things in yourself that you are not aware of. So if you are looking to "hunt down", see all around you and bring those things hidden from you out into the light, the wisdom of Owl just may be what you need.

Working With the Spirit of Owl
The Owl totem specializes in hunting down information that is hidden or not immediately available. Follow the steps of this ritual to request help from Owl.

1. Aloud or in your mind say, "Spirit of Owl, I request your help."

2. Wait quietly for a few seconds until you "feel" the presence of Owl. If you aren't familiar with working with spirit beings and aren't sure you feel the presence, go ahead to the next step since Owl always comes when requested.

3. Tell Owl what you are requesting. For example, in this case you might say, "Owl, please come with me today and show me what is causing my financial situation to not improve. Please show me this in a way that I can clearly understand. Thank you in advance for your help." Thanking Owl as with other Spirit beings is a necessary part of the request as the Owl totem thrives on appreciation.

4. Now go about your day with an open mind as to what Owl will show you. Owl will ride on your shoulder, whispering in your ear, giving you knowledge and understanding where you had blindness and confusion previously. The messages may come in many different forms such as an overheard conversation from a stranger, old memories appearing in your thoughts, a significant symbol or picture you come across on a sign or in a book or magazine, the words of a song and many other ways. Just stay aware and open to any communications that come.

5. Once you get your messages from Owl and have received the information you are seeking, be sure to offer appreciation and gratitude again.

If at the end of the day or time period you stated in your request, you don't have the understanding you seek, ask again the next day. You might need to re-form your request a bit or you can stay with the same one. Since you are working on uncovering hidden information it could just be that you didn't understand the information Owl sent you or that it is still hidden enough that you just missed it. Ask again as many times as you need to and as many days as you need to, each time asking for the answers to come in a form you can easily understand. Each day that you ask, Owl will make it more obvious to you. Just be persistent in asking until you reach the point of understanding. Owl is there to help guide you to that understanding.

Whether you are seeking for help and guidance to money issues or any other issues in your life, the Spirit of Owl is a good ally to have. Establishing a relationship with and working with this totem through this ritual is a great way to grow spiritually, develop a better understanding of yourself and to invite magic to be at work in your life.

Magic Words: Guess What? You Can Make 'Em Up

Magic words can help you out during those times when you feel "off" or things aren't going right in your life and you just can't figure out why. It may be that you need to reconnect with your personal power. We all have it and no one can take it away because it is a state of being not a thing. We just sometimes forget that we have it and don't exercise it. Magic words can help in regaining this power by giving us control over ourselves and our environment.

Making Magic With Sounds
All sound is a form of energy and it can create physical, mental and emotional spiritual effects. Even sounds we can't hear like ultra-sonics and sub-sonics can have an effect on us. Sounds, like everything else in the Universe, are made up of the four elements, Air, Water, Fire, and Earth or combinations of them. The effect a sound has on you or the effect you can create on yourself, others or your environment by using them varies according to what type of elemental sounds are being employed. The basic four elements used sonically have these effects:
Air – Affects mostly the ears
Fire – Affects mostly the nerves
Water – Affects muscles and gut
Earth – Affects the bones

In addition to knowing what element a sound is you also need to know that any sound you vocalize affects you in three ways:
1. Psychically – as you impart your will and intent to create the sound
2. Physically – as your body actually produces the sound
3. Reflectively – as the sound bounces back to you from your environment

If you tell yourself anything repeatedly or with enough force, your mind takes it as truth. Vocalizing an affirmation, prayer, spell or incantation out loud means you are really giving yourself the same instruction three different times, physically, psychically, and reflectively. Now here's where the act of power comes in. This three-fold rule is true whether you say something positive or negative. Your words are powerful and have an effect on you. Do you hear yourself cutting yourself down a lot or beating yourself up? Does "Oh how stupid can I be?" or "What a goofball I am!" sound familiar. If you are saying these type of statements out loud, then no wonder your personal power is suffering. These are the magic words you are using and your mind is accepting them.

What Are Your Magic Words?
Don't worry though, you can easily turn this all around. First start paying attention to the type of magic words you use when talking about yourself. Then begin discovering the magic words or words of power that produce the results you want to see for yourself. Words of power are personalized sonics or combinations of syllables that a particular person or practitioner has discovered will produce specific and predictable results in the environment, on yourself or on others when spoken in certain ways. Some of the Deity names and holy words were created and used by shamans and priests to produce specific effects on their listeners. And here's the best part, words of power or your own special magic words don't have to be real words. As long as the sonics utilized in creating the word creates the desired effect, then you can make up your own magic words.

Acts of Power
Another way to regain your personal power is to do acts of power. This is a specific sequence of steps that goes like this:
1. Pick Your Act – Make it something simple like making a mark on a piece of paper. It should be something very simple and easy to do anywhere. The actual act is not that important, it's the fact that you have an action of some kind involved.
2. Define the Time – Define for yourself when the act will start, how long it will last and when you will be finished with it. Take the example of making a mark on the paper. You can say I will do this immediately, it will take 3 seconds and will be completed when I have marked the paper.
3. Do It - Once you've decided on an act, do it. There you have it! Simple right? You have just restored your personal power.
Practice doing acts of power regularly until the 3 steps come naturally without you having to think about them. Any act of power, no matter how small, can restore your access to personal power.

Using your personal power is one of the most magical things you can do for yourself.
