The Power of Attraction

              (click here to visit our Online Botanica and find deals on Attraction Products) 

We’ve heard so much about it lately.  Spiritual Gurus, talk show hosts, and the general media have been talking A LOT about The Power of Attraction.  Is it the new age spiritual fad?  No way!  Mankind since its very beginning has possessed the power to attract desired and also undesired things to ourselves.  We are walking magnets constantly attracting things, people and situations into our life.  The difference in what we attract lies in whether we are doing consciously or unconsciously.  And therein lies the key to a happy life. How Do I Control What I Attract?The key to conscious attraction is AWARENESS.  Yes, it is that simple you can control what you attract simply by being aware of your thoughts, your words and your deeds.  Here’s how it works.  Say you are constantly complaining about something that you don’t seem to be able to get rid of, a bad boss for example.  So you complain and complain and then you find yourself either getting fired or quitting your job only to find that your next boss is just as bad.  Is it Bad luck?  Nope. You are in an unconscious attraction Loop.   

How Do I Get OUT of the Unconscious Attraction LOOP?

What you RESIST PERSISTS.  The more you complain, the more you attract.  You are probably asking yourself, how can that be?  What kind of cruel joke is life playing on me? The answer is NONE.  Life is not doing it to you.  You are doing it to yourself.  The fact that having a bad boss is something that bothers you so much means you are constantly thinking about it (thoughts), You complain about it to yourself and to others (words), and sometimes you may even do things out of anger and frustration (deeds).  Guess what?  You just unconsciously set in motion the 3 most powerful energies available to human beings - thoughts, words and deeds.  And you just put them to work against yourself

How Do I Become Aware of My Words, Thoughts and Deeds?

Awareness is the art of constantly monitoring what we think, what we say, and what we do.  It’d be great if we could program ourselves to catch a bad thought before it even forms. But no matter how well intended we are most of us will find ourselves allowing this bad thoughts and negative words slip through the cracks now and again.  So is it hopeless?  Are we human beings destined to go through life like a boat without a rudder at the mercy of the ocean of our minds?  The good news is - NO WE ARE NOT.  You can train yourself to becoming aware.  Here are some suggestions that have worked for me and many others:       

• Listen to yourself - Not only to what you say but also to what you think.  There is a beautiful song that says “Our thoughts are prayers and we are always praying.”  Listen carefully because your thoughts are sending a clear message to the universe so make sure it is the message that works for you.  When the wrong thought comes along cancel it immediately by repeating the words CANCEL, CANCEL.  With this simple technique you put a stop to the energy that follows a negative thought!
•   Have a Mantra – I have a Mantra (positive affirmation) that I repeat a few times a day.  “I AM MY OWN DIVA” – It makes me feel good about myself.  How can a Diva attract anything negative?  My Mantra reminds me constantly that I have the power to Create my Destiny and that I am constantly attracting with my Words, Thoughts, and Deeds.        
• Practice Conscious Attraction – The same way you wouldn’t dream of letting a day go by without washing your teeth – don’t let a day go by without practicing conscious attraction.  Take a few minutes each day (15 is perfect but 10 will also work).  Find a quiet spot take some deep breaths relax your mind and imagine yourself in that Great New Job, feel the joy of that wonderful relationship, or Picture yourself taking that trip you always wanted to take.  Thank the universe, the Orichas, The Buddah or Whomever you feel is your spiritual guide and carry that happy feeling with you throughout the day. 

The Power of attraction works for everyone.  It does not discriminate for age, race, gender or religion.  It doesn’t care if you are rich or poor.  All it takes to attract what we desire is to live a life of awareness where we learn to use the energies available to us in our favor and we break out of old patterns to create a better and happier life.   

Be well, Be Safe, and be your Own Diva,

Financial stimulus package – that’s all we hear each time we turn on the news.  I’m not here to discuss the merits of the newly signed economic package but to simply point out there is another type of stimulus that would greatly benefit our Country and the World in general.  This Stimulus package has nothing to do with money or politicians.  It is flexible and easy to implement in the place where it counts most – our own home.

It seems that in our quest to stimulate the sagging economy we may have forgotten that our spirituality is the greatest asset we have.  It is our spirit that inspires us to go forward and overcome obstacles.  To help others in times of need.  To feel compassion for those that are hurting, and to pull together as a society.  Let’s not forget that greatness can only be achieved with the absolute devotion, discipline and faith that comes directly from our spiritual self.

Our Spirit feeds our strength.  It empowers us to become a better mother, father, wife, husband, neighbor and so on.  If we stimulate our spirit we are guaranteeing a better life for ourselves and others.  A life where we all benefit from the joy of knowing all is well because we have the strength to support ourselves and others.  Real strength is the one that comes from within.

Your Spiritual stimulus package – whatever it is – has my VOTE!  I vote for your ability to recognize the greatness within you.  I vote for your ability to see the greatness in others.  I vote for your dedication to making this world a better place.  I vote for your kindness and your generosity.  And most of all I vote for your desire to get in touch with that powerful resource given to us by our Creator.  I vote for the human Spirit.

How many times have we promised ourselves that we will do things different in the coming year.  At some point all of us have made new year resolutions to  lose weight, change careers, find a new job, start an exercise program and so on just to go back to our old ways after the first few tries. 

I say this year we give ourselves a real chance for success - make the resolutions and then find the strength to follow it through.  At this point you may be asking yourself, ok but how do I do that?   I say the answer is simple.  You can do it by preparing yourself spiritually to succeed. 

I have 7 tips to make your New Year’s Resolutions really happen for you:

1.  Write it down.  Be specific with your resolution.  Describe what you want to achieve.  Set a date by which you want to attain your objective.  List how you plan to reach your goal

2.  Keep the list near your bed read it last thing every night before going to bed and first thing in the morning.

3.  Share your aspiration only with those people that you know will support you.  Do not tell anyone that is bound to be negative about your resolution.

4.  Spend 15-20 minutes each day meditating about your goal.  Use candles and incense to inspire you and to elevate your positive energy.

5.  Surround yourself with things that remind you of what you are trying to achieve.  Cut out pictures from magazines, text or anything that is a constant reminder of the object of your desire.

6.  Visualize yourself already having it.  Bathe yourself  and clean your home with the magical herbs and essences designed to help you attain your purpose.  While you bathe imagine how it will FEEL to have that great new job, lose all that weight, or find the perfect match.  Whatever it is you want – IMAGINE IT!

7.  Demonstrate your faith by giving thanks even before you see it manifested.  Thank your spirit guides, the universe, the Divine Being or whomever you feel connected to each day for conspiring with you and making your resolution happen.

If it seems too simple,  it’s because it really is.  Not preparing ourselves spiritually to meeting the challenge of creating change, is setting ourselves up for failure.  Whatever we can dream we can create.  Happy New Year!

Be well, Be safe and

At some point most of us have felt a very strong need to reconnect with our True Nature .  However, in this hectic world that we have created it seems that it very hard to let go of daily pressures so that we can get in touch with whom we really are - a perfect Spiritual Being.

Reconnecting to your Spiritual Nature has many advantages even in this material world.  Besides the fact that you will become a much happier person, you will also gain great insight into worldly as well as spiritual matters.  With enhanced spirtuality comes great intuition.   A well developed intuitive nature is a powerful tool to help yourself and others with problem solving and life changing decisions.

Ok. So we all agree.  We want to become more spiritual.  Where do we start? I have put together 5 easy steps that I’ve learned throuth years of practice and that have worked  for me.  Here goes:

1.  Meditate  10-15 minutes a day. 

• Find a quiet spot where you know no one will bother you, light a candle, sit comfortably and take a deep breath.  Now take another, and another.  Clear your mind. focus on the flame of the candle and feel yourself relax. 
• Close your eyes and visualize yourself in a favorite place - a beach, a park, a forrest anything that makes your relax.  Allow your mind to rest for the next few minutes by gently pushing any distracting thought that comes to your mind.

2. Take a leisurely walk every day for 15-20 minutes. 

•  Walk on a park, a beach, a pretty street in your neighborhood and feel yourself become a part of the environment.  Don’t judge anything you see just let it all flow through you.

3. Keep a Gratitude Journal

• Anytime you feel yourself having negative thoughts take a look around you and count your blessings.  Keep a gratitude journal and each night before you go to sleep write 5 things that happened that day that you are thankful for.  Don’t be afraid to give thanks for things that you desire but haven’t happened yet.

4.  Visualize Your Desires as Already Manifested

• Best time to do this is right before you go to sleep.  Picture yourself getting that new job.   Imagine how it will feel to walk in through the door of your new place of employment each day.  Feel the joy of depositing that new (increased) paycheck into your bank account.  Then, thank your guides, the universe, the Orichas or whomever you pray to for conspiring to make it happen.  Watch miracles unfold!

5.  Don’t let Negativity Settle in - EVER!

• Anytime you feel a pity party coming on do something nice for someone else.  There are so many people, animals, trees out there that need our help.  Doing nice things for others is the best way to keep negativiy at bay.

These are just a few shortcuts I’ve found that help me in my path.  I invite you to share some of your own with us.

Be well, be safe and be your own,

RECESSION - What a big, scary word.  I remember my parents talking about recession or “stagflation” as they called it back in the mid 1970’s.  While us 70’s kids worried about the rapidly changing fashion and keeping up with the latest Disco steps, our parents faced a very real challenge: 14% inflation, high unemployment, double digit interest rates and sky rocketing fuel and food prices.  Sounds familiar? Read on…

How did those wise and world changing people of the 70’s deal with it, survive it and became stronger from the experience?  What can we learn from them?  I think  lots.  Here’s some loving tips from prior recession survivors.  See how many you can apply to ride out the current one and even stay ahead, spiritually, mentally and financially!

1.  PRACTICE YOUR FAITH - Now more than ever!  What are your beliefs?  Do you love lighting CANDLES to brighten your home and attract light and peace?  Do you believe carrying an annointed AMULET will help you attract good luck and prosperity?  Do you feel more focused and refreshed after a SPIRITUAL CLENSING BATH?  Well - DO IT.  Dont’ make up any excuses.  Burn that heavenly INCENSE and let the rising smoke lift your spirit right along.

Stop complaining and start visualizing.  Focus your thoughts on blessings and not on sacrifices.  Make each thought a prayer and pray all the time.  Don’t just pray for yourself, include others.  Remember life is a boomerang and what you wish for others ends up coming back to you.

2.  MORE FAMILY TIME - That’s right.  With everyone watching their budgets there is more time to stay home and rediscover your family.  Make planning and cooking home meals a nice activity where everyone participates. 

Instead of spending money you don’t have shopping in the malls, plan  family picnics in the neighborhood parks.  Spray some WD-40 in your rusty old bike and lead the family to an afternoon of bonding and fun.

Put aside some family shared “spiritual time”.  Make it fun.  Ask family members to write out their desires, wishes, hopes for themselves and others and then create your own rituals where you can burn candles, incense, pray and wish wonderful things for one another.

Praying together, working towards a common goal and sharing fun times are the ingredients that make our family spiritually strong and help us survive the storms.

3.  GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR - Use this tough times to get to know your neighbors a little better.  The Joneses are probably having the same tough time you are.  They probably welcome the idea of perhaps sharing a ride to work or taking turns car pulling the kids to school. 

Why not start a neighborhood  pot luck party where everyone brings a plate?  Once a week you can share the blessings in the form of Hot dogs, burgers, chips, baked beans etc.  What a great way to say we are riding out this storm and we are here for each other!

 You’ll be surprised of how many new friendships can flourish during tough times.  And later on when we have survived the storm, we will be left with  stronger communities where neighbors look out and care for one another.

And here we have it!  Words from the wise.  OUR PARENTS!  The people that survived that 70 storm and ended up changing the world.  You’ve heard the cliche “when the going gets tough the tough gets going”.  Let’s get going in the right direction - the direction of peace, compassion and love.  This is a temporary setback let’s use it to collect our thoughts and move forward with new ideas, values and a stronger spiritual perspective.

Be safe, be well and be your own,

Diva

 Do these products really work?  This has got to be the NUMERO #1 question I get asked!  The honest answer is - IT’S UP TO YOU!  That’s right!  Even the most experienced spiritual worker can not help you if you don’t help yourself.  Below are some tips on how you can enhance the effects of any spiritual work you perform or any spiritual product you use.

Tip #1 - DO IT WITH FAITH

You’ve heard it said over and over again, ‘faith can move mountains’.  So true!  If you don’t believe in what you are doing then PLEASE DON’T DO IT.  You are wasting your time and the Universe’s time because the universe will only conspire if you do things with conviction and from the heart.  Otherwise you are just playing dress up.

 Tip #2 - VISUALIZE THE OUTCOME YOU WANT

Be clear on what you are looking to attract.  Write down the results you want and keep them in your altar or the area where you do the spiritual work.  Before you start any ritual read the list and picture yourself already attaining your desires.  How do you feel?  In your mind, take yourself to that place where the desired outcome has been obtained.  Hold on to that feeling while you perform your spiritual work.

Tip #3 - FEEL GRATITUDE

Feel the joy of obtaining what you want and give thanks before you receive it.  Being thankful is the best way to show you believe that you will receive the blessings you seek.  Gratitude keeps you in a positive state of mind and gets the entire universe on your side.  Say a simple prayer of thanks to your guides, your saints, God, the universe, the angels or whomever you feel is your protector.

I know it sounds really simple - it is!  If you go through life with faith, focusing on your goals and with a thankful heart there is NOTHING out of your reach.  Spiritual products are tools to help you keep a positive attitude and to keep you connected to your soul.  Use them with respect and faith and you will see the magic unfold right before your eyes.  I have NO DOUBT!

Be well, be safe, and be your own,
