One of the most popular times to focus on yourself is at the new year.
This is because many people believe that the new year is a time of new beginnings, and that taking time for oneself can help them to manifest their goals and desires.
If you're interested in doing a symbolic ritual to help you achieve your goals for the new year, here is a simple one that you can use.
This is best performed on New Year's Eve.
What you'll need:
-1 white candle
-1 piece of paper
-1 pen
-1 bowl
-1 lighter or matches
Instructions:
1. Write down your goal or intention for the new year on the piece of paper. Be as specific as possible.
2. Fold the paper up toward you and place it under the candle.
3. Light the candle and let it burn for a few minutes.
4. Hold the bowl in your hands and focus your energy on your goal. Visualize yourself achieving your goal. Visualize those goals as if they are already happening. Do not use negatives in your visualization. You subconscious can not process negatives.
For example: A lot of people want to lose weight for the new year.
This statement is wrong → I am not overweight.
Since our subconscious can not process negatives your affirmation statement becomes "I am overweight"
Instead say or write down, "I am at the perfect weight for me."
5. Say aloud or in your mind:
"I am (your name) and I am a powerful being.
I focus my energy to achieve (your goal) in the coming year.
I visualization success and I put my will behind it.
This is my desire and I make it happen.
So mote it be!"
Or feel free to say whatever comes to mind - remember this is but a mere guide.
6. Let the candle burn out completely and place the paper in the bowl.
7. Keep the bowl in a safe place until the day Jan 1 has ended. On Jan 2 go outside with your bowl and return the contents to Mother Earth. Thank her for recieving.
This can be done annually to help you achieve your goals for the new year. Be specific in your goals and visualization, and believe in yourself and your abilities to make your goals a reality.
And don't forget to do the mundane things to help you in achieving your goals - and watch your language -- avoiding negatives!
Until next time, Live, Love, & Magick!
