Jacki’s September Remember

Remember when your spiritual journey was new?  When every step was an amazing discovery?  Remember when you felt tangible energy for the first time.  You could sit in the yard and connect to the fair folk for the first time.  When you met your spirit guides and had your first telepathic communication.  When you turned over and understood your first Tarot or divination deck.   You may not have experienced all of that, but you experienced enough of it to remember how amazing the awakening of your spiritual innocence was.

Now, after a few (or many) years, experience and life has rubbed off all the new and your view on the spiritual world may be a bit tarnished.  You have seen the meaner side of the spiritual world, have had to face your own truths and have had your faith tested a few times.  The spiritual side of life is a bit old hat, if not a bit of old black hat.   Time to spice things up and reconnect with the joy and wonder of what brought you to this path in the first place!

This month you assignment is to get excited and awed by the spiritual world again.   Here is how to start.

Take one Inspiration Blessed Herbal Candle and a quiet space.  Take 20-30 minutes of your time and repeat this Mantra.  “I am awake to the magic around me”.  Do this once a week for 4 weeks and your world may just shift on its axis.

Take oneBrigit World Magic candle and sit outside.  Call upon Brigit to show you the magic of the Fairy folk around you.  Sit with your vision softened, and your body relaxed and still.  Know that not everything you see can be explained away.

Take one Spirit Guide / Ancestral Candle and light it every night for 2 hours before you go to bed (extinguish it before you sleep) and call to your spirit guides to bring you messages.  Even wear a bit of the Spirit Guide oil to bed to dream of your guides and ancestors.

Happy Magic!!

Author of the Healers Almanac, Wisdom of the 21st Century Goddesses
Candle Goddess at Coventry Creations.

This month is sponsored by Sarah, the Goddess of Sisterhood from The Healers Almanac, Wisdom of the 21st Century Goddesses. Among her messages about living in co-operation and unity with other women is the messages and teaching of forgiveness.  Naturally, I shrink from this lesson, not because I am unable to forgive, but because I don’t fully understand it.  So I took a couple of questions to Sarah in a meditation.  “Ok, let’s say forgiveness is a good idea Sarah, What is in it for me? Just remembering the event brings up all that pain for me again, so, what do I do with my painful feelings when I choose to forgive?” Sarah came up with some wonderful insights and a very loving exercise for me to do.

First Sarah wanted me to face my resistance to forgiving and honored me with this. When we consider forgiving someone we fear that we are letting them off the hook and will be left holding the pain. We don’t even consider that we are trapping the both of us in an endless cycle of hatred.  Even though that part of forgiving feels unfair and fuels our habit of reliving the event in our minds, forgiveness is the way to freedom.  Forgiving is about letting go of what happened so we can be free of the cycle of pain and fear we feel whenever we think of that person. 

Next I was schooled about what I was forgiving.  She didn’t push me to forgive the event, but asked me to forgive the person.  This person could not manage to treat me in a loving and gentle way for reasons of their own. What I was to forgive is their own confusion, desperation and frailty that they were acting out on. I was asked to see and accept that, that person has pain, fear and anger and they cannot be who I want them to be right now.

Finally she guided me to honor my own timing.  She said my heart will know when I’m ready to forgive and while I wait for the “fullness of time” I am to be good to myself and remember that hatred does not heal hatred. Only love does.  If I could not feel love toward that person, let love fill me. This will redirect me when I entertain my negative feelings about that person or event again.  And it will come up again, until I’m done.

The Goddess suggested I create a sacred space for myself.  Let it be a place where I feel safe and comforted and call it my sanctuary or refuge. I am to fill it with things that bring me joy and peace. Every time I sit there I am to be silent and with eyes closed, visualize all the places, people and things that fill my heart with love. Then, open my eyes and drink up the love that looking at my own things invokes within me. This is one of the many ways I can actively love myself.

Dealing with my own pain will help me be a better sister to my sisters all over the world.  In my own way I am short circuiting the cycle of hatred by comforting myself with the love that is here for me and not desperately trying to get it from where it is not.  This lets “them” off the hook and they can go on with their life without pressure from me to be something that they are not.  I am setting them free and when I do that I am free.

Some Coventry Candles to burn while working through our own forgiveness process are:
Heart Blessed Herbal Candle – This will help soften your grip on evening the score between you and another.
Nanny Ma’s Child Protector Hoo Doo Candle – Bring that nurturing mother love all around you with the energy of this candle. This is not necessarily your own mother. Think of her as the ideal mother you wish you had.

Biz-ness Bits

Have you ever done a display of Staff Picks?  Customers love learning about a staff pick because they know this comes from inside information and experience with the products.  Owner and Manager picks are more likely to be something you want to move or have some ulterior motive about, but a staff pick seems to be a bit more genuine.  Watch how your customers give a second look to something they may have passed over in the past.

Try a staff pick area in your store – on an end cap, or even giving it a special display.  From books to stones to your favorite candle, you will sell that item faster than it ever has in the past.  This is also a great way to invest your staff into the overall success of the store and give them an appropriate voice in your business.   

If you are a loner in your business; chief cook and bottle washer, try a few “Customer Favorites” and ask for a write up as to why they like it. 

This business bits may be a short one this month, but it’s a winner that will help you make your goals today!

Happy Selling!
