Mists of Morgana

You don’t have to call yourself a magician, mystic, psychic, priestess or wiccan to be magickal. Every wish, prayer, business plan, and affirmation carries magick. The question is, how do you get better at making things happen?  How do you increase your experience of abundance and prosperity?

My mother introduced me to my awareness of magick. No one casts a circle or leads a ritual like she can!  As I got older and made my own way, I found ritual magick became less effective for me. There was almost a feeling desperation, a forcing quality when I would set up my altar and call in the directions. (As if they aren’t already there?) Most importantly, I noticed it didn’t seem to be working.

That doesn’t mean the magick stopped. I believe (more…)

Ever feel like your life sucks? Ya gotta set some personal boundaries. (And if you’re a coach/healer/spiritual/service professional, I’m talking to YOU!)

Setting boundaries gives you the ability to say yes to what you want and no to what you don’t want, despite the risk of displeasing others. What a concept, huh? (The irony is the more you try to please others, the less you do. Nobody likes a fake or a doormat.) You’ll automatically upgrade your relationships and improve your life overall.

No limits disempowers you and disrespects those around you. They show up in a number of ways:

* The inability to say no.
* The fear of displeasing someone.
* The tendency to rescue others.
* The expectation of being rescued.
* Not expressing your true feelings.
* Not getting paid what you should.
* Attracting people who take advantage of you.
* Allowing outside opinions to determine your self-worth.
* Feeling like a victim.
* Feeling obligated, indebted.
* Trying to change someone else.

When we were children, pleasing parents and teachers and friends was necessary to our survival. We needed to learn how to bond, how to read reactions, how to compromise. These are not skills to give up. This is where we learn the empathy and compassion that makes relationship possible.

Problems arise when, as adults, we’re unconsciously ruled by these needs to please, bond, or compromise. We’re operating out of fear more than love. When we’re acting from unconscious impulses we give up our ability to choose responsibly, and we become victims and victimizers.

We all have areas in our lives where our boundaries are nice and strong, and other areas where our boundaries get weaker. (The higher the stakes, the stronger the likelihood is that fear will come in and weaken our boundaries.) The easiest way to check the strength of your personal boundaries is to ask yourself: “How free do I feel here to say what I feel and to ask for what I want?”

The bottom line is people treat you how you allow them to treat you. If you put up with abuse, YOU’RE ABUSING YOURSELF. Setting new boundaries is like working with muscles that haven’t been used; they feel awkward and weak at first. You may have some false starts as you learn to play a new game. Keep flexing.

You’ll be tested. If you’re the type who did everything for everybody in the past, those people you taught to rely on you may resent having the rules changed without their consent. You trained them to expect one thing; now you can retrain them to expect something else. Practice consistency.

If you’ve been taken care of all your life and the rules are changed on you… ouch! You get to grow up fast. You’ll feel better on the other side, knowing you can take care of yourself.

Eventually, as your personal boundaries get stronger, the negative charge around these changes goes away. What used to be a fight becomes the way things are naturally. It’s effortless.

Take a look at your current life.
* Where are your boundaries strongest?
* Where are they weakest? Why?
* What small step can you take to be more honest and authentic in that area of your life?

When setting limits in any area of your life, you’ll increase your self confidence. You’ll attract better relationships. You’ll enjoy more respect and success, and your life will rock.

I keep running across people who hear me try to describe Financial Alchemy, and they think I’m a Law of Attraction coach. Noooo! Unless, perhaps, you took your LOA to a Barry White concert.

Financial Alchemy’s magic is activated differently. Here’s a cheat sheet of easy distinctions that stop people in their tracks:

1) While magical attraction happens all the time with Financial Alchemy, it’s NOT about what you attract. It’s not about what you can get from the universe.

2) Financial Alchemy is about romance. How good a lover are you, baby? We’re talking that generosity of spirit that comes with being head over heels in romantic love for another human being. “How can I make you happy, you beautiful, loveable man (or woman), just because I love you for you, whether you’re money or not, and making you happy gives me joy?”

3) But here’s the key: it’s not going to work while there’s a trace of that monster who has persecuted you in the past, either through financial troubles or any other kind of abuse that lowered your self-worth or feellings of safety in the world. This is what I call the Money Monster. You do NOT want to make your monster happy! You want to ANNIHILATE him! No fuffy white light and dolphins there, baby.

4) Thinking good thoughts and raising your vibrations aren’t enough for a total and radical transformation.

5) Your Money is another person. You don’t need to come up with the answers or know your next step. Just ask him (or her). They’ll tell you.

6) Your Money Honey is hot and personal and loves YOU more than anyone else in the world.

7) Yeah, there’s some overlap with the “Law” of Attraction: feeling good is more attractive than feeling bad. But there’s a realness to a relationship with a human-like “Money Honey” that LOA misses. You get to fight, gripe, yell, and want to rip your Money Honey’s heart out at times. You won’t be punished. Those fights are actually GOOD for the relationship. They shake you out of complacency and take the relationship to a whole new level.

And the make up sex is fabulous.

My dear friend Catherine Behan, the Law of Attraction Love Coach, wrote this article to specifically for this blog, to contribute to abundance and prosperity in your love life:

“…and then Lori, that whore, sat on his lap and wrapped her skanky arms around him and he did absolutely nothing…nothing! He just sat there like the ass that he is and did nothing.”

I heard every word. I was three tables over in Starbucks and I couldn’t help but overhear. I glanced over and I was surprised to see the person I was listening to was nearing 50. I couldn’t help but wonder if she realized how she was coming across.

If you are single and there are no prospects in sight, you are in the perfect position to take on a personal project. Ladies, we must learn to control what is coming out of our mouths. It is the perfect homework for control freaks every where.

Starting tomorrow, begin each day with this intention at the forefront of your mind: I intend to write my complaints down in detail instead of speaking them out loud. There are two steps here, one, acknowledge the things that are bugging you and two, write them down.

Don’t get trapped in the artificial positivity that goes along with Law of Attraction thinking. Let yourself be bugged. Write it down and then if you are a drama diva like me, create a burning ceremony and do it up right! Even if you just throw it away, at least it is coming up out of you and on to something neutral like a blank piece of paper. I like to use different colors of pens and sometimes I write conversationally as if an inner buddy is answering back.

Now Lori might actually be a lady of the evening but even if she is, do we need to talk about it? What if the words we speak radiate from us as surely as radio waves? Personally, that is exactly what I think happens. Wouldn’t it behoove us to choose carefully what we are broadcasting?

So, let’s get together here, ladies, and make some serious decisions. Yes, I am sure that people have been low down and no good including ex-boyfriends, ex-friends and ex-bosses, but retelling the story again and again and again doesn’t serve you. As long as you are in between guys, why not practice cutting complaining out of your day to day routine.

A pastor in the midwest started an anti-complaining campaign that has had a major impact. His suggestion is to put a rubber bracelet on one wrist and then switch wrists every time you catch yourself complaining. The goal is to wear the bracelet on the same wrist for thirty days.

Great idea! I love the plan. I would just add one element. Complain once a day on paper. Let yourself be ticked off at the inconveniences that frustrate you, the inefficiency that annoys you, the disrespect that angers you and the carelessness that infuriates you. What ever it is, write it out, every word.

Your opportunties for great dates and new connections will be dramatically impacted by this change in your routine. Most feel a change in a week. You can expect to be treated differently in subtle ways and you will attract small things like coupons from area restaraunts, invitations, movie passes, things like that.

Can fine dining be far behind? Getting used to noticing the small but certain signs that our luck is changing is a necessary step. You want to be with someone permanently. You want someone around to fix a few things and to snuggle with on the couch. He wants that too and he is looking for you. Whining and complaining, no matter how deserving the offending party has been, is simply unattractive to a lot of decent guys.

Are you up for the challenge? When you are sipping a great red wine at your favorite fine dining establishment instead of whining at Starbucks to your girlfriends, you will be glad you did!
