    The Power of the Full Moon

    The full moon is a time of expansion. Rather than shrinking back into your fears and limiting beliefs, this is a time to rise above anything that’s held you back or made you feel somehow lesser than who you truly are.

    And who you truly are is limitless. Infinite. Immeasurable. Whole. And so much more than you’ve ever believed yourself to be. The full moon is the time to embrace the more of your existence. To stand in your power rather than shrinking back or trying to fit yourself in a box you don’t belong in.

    You are eternally worthy, powerful, and more than enough. Step into your infinite power. Instead of viewing your life from a perspective of lack and scarcity, view it from a perspective of wealth and abundance. Discover the magic that exists within you and all around you in this very moment.

    During this time, allow yourself to stop striving and simply be. You don’t have to try so hard to create the life you want. Instead, step back. Pause. Surrender.

    Let your dreams come to you.

    How do you honor the power of the full moon? Here are some of the ways you can embrace this time of expansion:

    • Express gratitude for all that you have and all that’s on its way to you right now
    • Reflect on all that you’ve created and manifested during this past lunar cycle
    • Use positive affirmations to vibrate at the frequency of love and abundance
    • Express your creativity in a fun way
    • Take a night off from your to-do list to do something that brings you joy
    • Embrace positive feelings and emotions
    • Surrender, allow, and just be.

    Below, you’ll find 33 uplifting full moon affirmations for gratitude, trust, love, abundance, and deep inner peace. Use these affirmations in conjunction with powerful full moon journal prompts to truly embrace your expansion, step into your highest self, and create the life you can’t stop dreaming about.

    How To Use Protection Jewelry

    Protection jewelry is any type of jewelry that shields you from bad luck, negative energy, and low vibrations. While protection jewelry is commonly thought to guard you from toxic external energy, it can also serve to protect you from your own negative thoughts and feelings.

    So how exactly does protection jewelry work? The power to shield you from negative energy most often comes in the form of crystals or symbols. Crystals such as Black Tourmaline are known for their protective qualities, while symbols such as the Hamsa hand can bring you positivity and good fortune while protecting you from malice and toxic energy. You can wear these protective crystals and symbols as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, anklets, or your preferred jewelry type.

    Before you begin wearing your jewelry, I always recommend cleansing it first. Cleansing your protection jewelry erases any leftover energy from their previous owners, as well as any energy it may have picked up in its travels to you, allowing you to start with a clean slate.

    You can cleanse your jewelry by running it under water, letting it sit in nature for 24 hours, setting it out under the sun or moon, or placing it on top of or next to a piece of Selenite or Clear Quartz. If you want to learn a little more about these methods for cleansing your jewelry, you can click here for a deeper explanation into each method.

    Below, you’ll learn about seven types of protection jewelry that can shield you from negative energy. I’ve also added links to bracelets, necklaces, and other types of jewelry you can purchase today for each of the different categories.

    Use the links below to jump to any of the types of protection jewelry you want to learn more about:

    Protection Jewelry

    Black Tourmaline For Mind, Body & Spirit Protection

    Black Tourmaline is known to be a powerful protection stone; when you step outside wearing or holding a piece of Black Tourmaline, you can think of it as though you’re walking with an invisible shield protecting your entire being: mind, body, and spirit. Black Tourmaline will protect you from toxic energy and low vibrations that may threaten to disrupt the positivity and stability you’ve cultivated within. It’s also powerfully linked to the root chakra, your body’s energy center for stability, security, and groundedness. By keeping your root chakra open and activated, Black Tourmaline will help you to remain strong, steady, and confident as you walk through your day. Use Black Tourmaline as your personal bodyguard to shield your energy and help you to feel grounded and secure as you move through the world.

    Hamsa For Protection From Malice & Bad Intentions

    The Hamsa hand has many spiritual meanings, but its most prominent meaning is to protect you from another person’s ill-will, malice, or bad intentions. Not only does the Hamsa hand repel toxic energy, but it can also bring you more positive energy and even usher in good fortune. Note that the direction the Hamsa hand matters, so you may choose to wear it facing up or down depending on your current needs. When it’s facing down, it’s known to bring you more positivity, abundance, and good luck. When it’s facing up, it will protect you from malice, bad intentions, and even your own negative thoughts. (It can also protect you from bad luck, so if you’re having one of those weeks when it feels like everything is going wrong, this is a good one to wear.)

    Evil Eye For Protection From Danger & Evil

    The Evil Eye may be the most controversial addition to this list, as some people are naturally drawn to this symbol while others feel like it, itself, gives off negative energy. This is completely okay. Don’t overthink it; if it feels good to you, you can purchase Evil Eye protection jewelry, but if not, try something else that feels a little better. So what exactly does the Evil Eye symbolize? The Evil Eye is meant to keep you safe, secure, and protect you from danger, strife, and malicious intent. (One reason why the Evil Eye can be so controversial is that historically, this symbol has been seen as a curse you put on someone to cause them bad luck and misfortune. However, when wearing it as jewelry, it has the opposite meaning: it protects you from anyone who would wish to cast the Evil Eye upon you.)

    Chakra Jewelry For Energy Protection

    Chakras are the energy centers in your body through which your prana, or life force, flows. Energy is meant to flow, and when your chakras are open, your life force energy can flow freely through your various energy centers. But when one of your chakras becomes blocked, your life force energy stagnates. This results in mental, physical, emotional, and/or spiritual blockages. While many people believe there are 114 chakras in (and around) your body, we usually focus on the seven “main” ones: Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown.

    I have lots of chakra resources throughout this website, so I won’t go into too much detail here. (I’ve linked to some articles below if you want to learn more.) For each chakra, there are various crystals and gemstones that will help to heal and protect these energy centers to ensure your life force energy is continuing to flow.

    You can find jewelry that contains a stone for each of your body’s energy centers, or you can choose specific stones if there’s just one chakra you want to focus on.

    Here are some of the crystals and gemstones for each of your body’s seven main chakras:

    • Root: Hematite, Obsidian, Onyx, Smoky Quartz
    • Sacral: Carnelian, Orange Calcite, Jasper, Red Tiger’s Eye
    • Solar Plexus: Citrine, Carnelian, Topaz, Tiger’s Eye
    • Heart: Rose Quartz, Apophyllite, Rhodonite, Pink Opal
    • Throat: Blue Lace Agate, Celestite, Aquamarine, Turquoise
    • Third Eye: Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Lepidolite, Apophyllite
    • Crown: Selenite, Amethyst, Clear Quartz, Lepidolite

    Dreamcatchers For Sleep Protection

    Dreamcatchers are meant to protect you from nightmares and harmful thoughts while simultaneously keeping you safe with good dreams and positive thoughts while you sleep. Like a spider’s web, a dreamcatcher will trap the bad visions and allow only good visions to go through. However, dreamcatchers aren’t solely for sleep protection. Many believe they can protect you from any kind of external evil, not just bad visions and nightmares.

    To learn more, this article from Terry Cralle does a great job of explaining the meaning and history of the dreamcatcher.

    Hematite For Grounding & Protection

    When you feel like your foundation has been shaken, Hematite is the ultimate grounding stone to pull you back to earth. Hematite will restore your steady foundation while also guiding you to release feelings of stress, worry, and insecurity. Another bonus of Hematite is that it’s a protective stone. This means that in addition to helping you to feel grounded and balanced, it will also protect you from external negative energy that may threaten to shake your stable foundation. The ability to help you stay grounded and protected makes Hematite a powerhouse in all kinds of situations: at work or at home, while you’re driving or commuting, at the grocery store or your in-laws’ house, and everywhere in-between.

    Shungite For EMF Protection

    Shungite differs a bit from most stones you see in crystal shops in that it’s not technically a crystal. Don’t let that deter you, though. This carbon-based stone is one of the strongest healing stones you can find, used most often for physical, spiritual, and emotional protection. When you’re feeling heavy and worn out, use this stone to remove toxic energy and to cleanse your spirit of any negativity that’s forged its way within. Shungite can also ground your energy and help you to stay focused on your tasks and goals, acting like a shield against procrastination and outer noise. Finally, Shungite is also popularly used for EMF (electromagnetic field) protection, so if you spend a lot of time around electronic devices, this stone can protect you from any harmful frequencies they may emit.

    Essential Oils For Manifesting

    When used correctly, essential oils can be a powerful addition to your manifesting practice. You can use essential oils in traditional ways, such as in a diffuser or worn topically (just make sure you’re using one that’s safe for your skin), or you can get a little creative in your manifesting practice by rubbing some oil on a dollar bill, anointing a candle with a specific oil, or using one of the other manifesting methods I’ve listed in the next section.

    No matter what practice you use, the key is to always use your essential oils with intention; be clear and specific about exactly what you want to manifest, and visualize your desire in your mind’s eye, allowing yourself to feel all the positive emotions of having exactly what you want.

    Below, I’ve listed essential oils and oil blends for manifesting your desires. I’ve divided these essential oils into three categories: essential oils for manifesting love, essential oils for manifesting money, and essential oils for manifesting success. Under each category, I provide links to essential oil blends that can help you manifest your specific desires. These blends come pre-made and are fully ready for you to start using to manifest your intentions. If you’d prefer to use the essential oils you already have, I also provide lists under each category of single oils you can use to either make your own blends or use individually.

    You can skip to the category you want to learn more about using these links:

    When using essential oils, please read labels and packaging instructions. Dilute as instructed. Practice safe storage. And choose brands that are free of synthetic chemicals. If you have any questions or concerns, please talk to a certified essential oils practitioner or to your healthcare professional.

    How To Use Essential Oils For Manifesting

    Below, you’ll find a list of ways you can use essential oils for manifesting love, money, success, and more. These practices are specifically geared toward the Art of the Root oil blends that you’ll find below. For single essential oils such as Clary Sage, Wild Orange, and others, you can still do these practices; just make sure to do so with very clear intention. You can also use them in your diffuser, wear your oils, or use them as you normally would, saying your intention aloud (i.e. being clear about what you want to manifest) when you begin your practice.

    Dab Oil Onto Money, Photos & More

    Think about what you want to manifest. What items do you associate with this desire? For instance, if you want to manifest financial wealth, you might associate this with physical cash, your wallet or purse, or bank receipts. To manifest success for your business, you may consider using business cards or a copy of your sales permit. Choose an item you associate with what you want to manifest and rub some oil onto this item. As you use the oil, say your intention out loud, being clear and specific.

    Use With Scripting

    This is one of my favorite manifestation tricks to amplify your intentions. If you have a scripting practice, you can rub a little bit of manifesting oil on your script for some extra manifesting magic. This is especially powerful when paired with the pillow method, which you can learn more about here. You also don’t have to limit this to just scripting. You can use manifesting oil with handwritten letters, the 55×5 manifestation method, and other manifestation journaling practices. (And don’t forget to apply a dab of manifesting oil to your vision board!)

    Do you want to fully immerse yourself in the positive vibrations of all your dreams and desires? Check out 30 Perfect Days, a digital manifestation journal available in my online shop! Each day, you’ll receive a unique scripting prompt that will help you to live as if you already have your dreams and desires right now. Additionally, you’ll find space for daily gratitude, acknowledging the miracles that appear in your everyday world, uplifting affirmations, and more. Comes with editable text fields so you can choose to either type directly into the journal or print and hand write! Click here to learn more!

    Wear On Your Body

    If it’s safe to do so, you can wear the manifestation oil on your body daily, or save it for important moments like job interviews, first dates, and business meetings. If you’re about to sign important documents, you can rub some on your hands (or the pen, if you don’t want to rub it on your hands). And if you’d rather not wear it directly, you can also anoint your jewelry with a drop of oil before you leave the house.

    Anoint Candles With Oil

    For a dedicated manifestation ritual, choose a candle with a color that directly correlates with what you want to manifest. For instance, a pink candle is correlated with romance and green is tied to money. (Learn more about candle colors for manifestation here.) It’s best to use a brand new candle that’s specifically chosen for this purpose. Rub the oil at the top of the candle, pulling upward, as you visualize your desires. You might also use a toothpick to carve your intention on the side of the candle. (Be clear, specific, and concise.)

    If you’re interested in purchasing candles specifically formulated with herbs and essential oils to help you manifest your desires, I highly recommend checking out Art of the Root’s manifestation candles, which include the Money Drawing candle, the Love and Attraction candle, the Crown of Success candle, and more.

    Spiritual Meaning Of The Full Moon

    While the new moon offers you the opportunity to set intentions and connect to your deepest desires, the full moon allows you the chance to step back and reflect on all that you’ve manifested and created during this past lunar cycle.

    It’s likely that you often find yourself in creation mode: working towards your dreams, setting intentions, following your intuition, and taking the next step to manifest your desires. Creation is beautiful and exhilarating, but it’s important to also take time to pause, reflect, and just be for a little while.

    The full moon is the perfect time to embrace the pause as you sink into silence and reflect on all that you’ve done and accomplished over the past month.

    More than anything, the full moon is all about embracing gratitude. Even if you’re not where you ultimately want to be, you are exactly where you’re meant to be in this moment.

    Have gratitude for your journey and how far you’ve come. Appreciate your own resilience and strength as you’ve continued on this journey, even when it would’ve been easier to turn back. Express sincere thankfulness for all that you have and all that’s coming.

    During the full moon, your emotions will likely be amplified. While you’re not actively trying to manifest anything new during this time, your heightened feelings can contribute to your overall manifestations in a powerful way.

    Gratitude and love are the highest vibrations, so as you choose to focus on gratitude, allow the feelings of true appreciation light up every cell of your being. Use positive affirmations rooted in love, joy, peace, and abundance to keep your vibration high.

    During this time, you may feel called to embrace your inner creativity. Take some time away from work and your never-ending to-do list. Give yourself permission to create simply for the sake of creating: not to be productive, not to accomplish anything, and certainly not because your creations have to be good. Create through the energy of joy, love, and passion. Paint, write, draw, mold, build – whatever you do, do it because it feels good to you. Allow yourself to remember what it feels like to create something just because.

    The full moon is a profound time to do the following:

    • Express gratitude
    • Reflect on all that you’ve created and manifested during this past lunar cycle
    • Use positive affirmations to keep your vibration high
    • Express your creativity in a fun way
    • Take a night off from your to-do list to do something that brings you joy
    • Embrace positive feelings and emotions
    • Surrender, allow, and just be.

    What Is Scripting?

    When you were younger, did you ever keep a diary to capture everything that had happened that day on paper? You might’ve started your journal or diary entry with what you ate for breakfast and narrated the events that happened throughout the day. Maybe you described your emotions as you encountered different experiences: the feeling of joy when you got to play with your best friend or anger when another kid did something to make you mad.

    In many ways, scripting is similar to how you might have written a diary entry when you were younger, except you’re using visualization to script a day in your perfect, dream life.

    So what exactly is scripting? Scripting is the practice of writing about your dreams and desires in story-like form, as if you already possess everything you want to manifest.

    For instance, if you want to manifest your dream job, you can script a typical day in the life of your dream job as though you already have it right now. If you want to manifest better health, you can write about how it feels to be perfectly healthy, fit, and strong. And if you want to manifest love, you can script a day in the life with your perfect partner, as though this person is already in your life in this moment.

    The key to unlock the magic of scripting is not just to write the words but to truly feel the positive emotions of already having everything you desire. Allow yourself to feel loved, joyful, peaceful, free, happy, healthy, and loved now. When you invite these feelings into your inner world, you become a magnet for even more positive feelings and experiences to manifest in your outer world.

    Want to manifest love? Feel loved now.

    Want to manifest wealth? Feel abundant now.

    Want to manifest the life of your dreams? Feel as though you’re already living it right now.

    Scripting Manifestation Examples

    To help you get started with scripting, I’ve written some scripting manifestation examples below. In the first example, I’ve written in past tense, as if I’m writing a diary entry at the end of the day, replaying everything that’s happened that day. In the second example, I write the same script in present tense, as if I’m experiencing these moments right now.

    Either past or present tense is fine for scripting; use the tense that feels best to you. The only rule is that you don’t want to use future tense when you script. It’s never, “I will have the perfect dream job.” Rather, you’re writing as though you already have the perfect dream job right now.

    Additionally, I’ve included some suggested sentences and sentence starters you can include in your scripts to help you truly feel as if you already have your dreams and desires in this present moment. Use these sentences and sentence starters to embrace the feelings of gratitude and appreciation for all that you’ve manifested in your life.

    Scripting Manifestation Examples: Past Tense

    Dear Universe,

    Today was truly an extraordinary day. When I woke up, I was greeted with warm rays of sunshine brushing against my cheeks. It felt like a gentle, loving message from the Universe welcoming me to this new day. After a restful night of sleep, I felt energized and ready to greet the day. Careful not to wake up my love sleeping next to me, I awoke and headed to the kitchen, where a fresh pot of coffee waited for me. I spent the first hour of my morning journaling and meditating. Then, I went for a beautiful walk in the foothills behind my home. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more calm and at peace. I knew in every cell of my body that everything was working out perfectly for me, just as it always does.

    I spent my day doing what I love. I connected with beautiful souls and offered meaningful help to others. I’m still in awe that this life is really mine. An old client of mine sent me an email thanking me for making such a positive difference in her life. She is now living the life she loves and helping others do the same. I can’t think of anything in the world more incredible than this feeling. I can see now how living the life of my dreams is the most selfless thing I can do for this world. When I spread my light, another person feels empowered to spread theirs, and then another spreads theirs, and this continues. I am so grateful I get to be part of this beautiful experience.

    And another miracle: I received an unexpected check for more money than I’ve ever made in a single day! I still can’t believe it. The money came to me in the energy of love, bringing harm to no one. I feel so happy and grateful to know that every time I spend money in the energy of love, I receive even more in return. I used to believe that money was limited, but now I know that money is abundant, and there is more than enough to go around for all of us.

    I spent the evening with my love. We cooked dinner together (taco night!) and watched TV together snuggled up on the couch. As my love held me, I’ve never felt safer or more treasured, cherished, and adored. Thank you, Universe, for blessing me with unconditional love. I am so grateful for the miracles that brought us together, and I will never take a second of this life for granted.

    Today was a miracle. Just like yesterday was; just like tomorrow will be. I feel so grateful to live this life of mine. I am receiving more and more every day, and it just keeps getting better.

    Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

    Scripting Manifestation Examples: Present Tense

    Dear Universe,

    What a beautiful day! As I wake up this morning, I’m greeted with warm rays of sunshine brushing against my cheeks. It feels like a gentle, loving message from the Universe welcoming me to this new day. After a restful night of sleep, I feel energized and ready to greet this beautiful day. Careful not to wake up my love sleeping next to me, I gently arise from the bed and head to the kitchen, where a fresh pot of coffee awaits. I spend the first hour of my morning journaling and meditating, which is my absolute favorite way to start the morning. I feel serene and peaceful as I go for a beautiful walk in the foothills behind my home. A sense of calm radiates throughout my entire being. I know in every cell of my body that everything is always working out perfectly for me, just as it always has and just as it always will.

    I feel so grateful that I get to spend this day doing what I love. I connect with beautiful souls and offer meaningful help to others. I’m still in awe that this life is really mine. In the middle of my work day, an email pops up from an old client of mine. In this email, she thanks me for making such a positive difference in her life. She is now living the life she loves and helping others do the same. I can’t think of anything in the world more incredible than this feeling. I can see now how living the life of my dreams is the most selfless thing I can do for this world. When I spread my light, another person feels empowered to spread theirs, and then another spreads theirs, and this continues. I am so grateful I get to be part of this beautiful experience.

    Just when I think today can’t get any more perfect, an unexpected check for more money than I’ve ever made in a single day comes to me in miraculous, divine timing. I still can’t believe it. The money comes to me in the energy of love, bringing harm to no one. I feel so happy and grateful to know that every time I spend money in the energy of love, I receive even more in return. I used to believe that money was limited, but now I know that money is abundant, and there is more than enough to go around for all of us.

    To top off this perfect day, I spend the evening with my love. We cook dinner together (taco night!) and watch TV together snuggled up on the couch. As my love holds me, I feel safe, protected, treasured, cherished, and adored. Thank you, Universe, for blessing me with unconditional love. I am so grateful for the miracles that brought us together, and I will never take a second of this life for granted.

    Today is a miracle. Just like yesterday was; just like tomorrow will be. I feel so grateful to live this life of mine. I am receiving more and more every day, and it just keeps getting better.

    Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

    How To Fall In Love With Yourself

    I used to believe that the path to falling in love with myself would be a linear journey, and at the end of it, I’d discover the secret to deep, lifelong self-love.

    What I’ve learned, though, is that this path is very much non-linear. There may be days when you feel like you’ve uncovered the secret to everlasting joy and love, and then one day, something happens, and you start to question everything you thought you knew. You may doubt yourself. You may wish you could change certain parts of you. And during these times, you may feel like you’ve taken a step back in your journey.

    I was doing so well, you think. And now I’ve messed up and ruined it all.

    But here’s the truth:

    Those steps back? They aren’t steps back at all. They’re actually opportunities to move forward. When you encounter an experience that triggers something painful within, the Universe isn’t trying to hurt you or push you backwards on your path. It’s allowing you the opportunity to release old feelings and beliefs in order to grow.

    These experiences also give you the chance to practice self-compassion. When you recognize negative energy within, instead of chastising yourself, you have the opportunity to say, “I see my pain. I see my fears. I recognize that I’ve made mistakes and that I don’t always react to situations as my highest self. And that’s okay. Because no matter what, I am still worthy of unconditional love and compassion.”

    This path to falling in love with yourself isn’t paved in perfection.

    It’s paved in compassion. In forgiveness. In honoring every part of you, both your light and your shadows.

    Falling in love with yourself isn’t simply the destination you seek. It is the journey. It’s the path you walk upon. It’s the tiny things you do for yourself every single day. And it’s allowing yourself to believe that no matter what you do or don’t do, you are always worthy. Right now. Just as you are. Today and always.

    Practices For Falling In Love With Yourself

    There is no single path to falling in love with yourself that will look the same for everyone. But here are some of the practices that may help you in your journey:

    • Practice self-compassion daily.
    • See yourself as an extension of the Universe: limitless, infinite, whole, eternal, and filled with unconditional love.
    • Align with your highest self: the real and true you. This is the infinite, everlasting part of you that is unchanged by external circumstances and experiences. Your highest self knows the right path and often doesn’t operate in the logical mind but in the heart. Listen to the wisdom of this part of yourself.
    • Practice accepting love from yourself and others, even you make a mistake.
    • When you feel like you have no energy, don’t try to push forward anyway. Take a step back. In those moments, ask your soul what it needs. Then, pour it into yourself.
    • Don’t suppress negative emotions. Allow them to flow within and through you. You can only release them by feeling your way through them. And sometimes, this requires breaking down, screaming, yelling, and allowing the tears to fall unapologetically.
    • Meet yourself where you are now. Maybe you’re not where you want to be, but you can still love yourself right now as you continue to grow.
    • Meditate. Journal. Practice stillness. Take long walks. Read. Stretch. But don’t do any of these things just because you feel like you should do them. Do what feels good to you. (And know that what feels good to you can change daily, and that’s okay.)
    • Celebrate your small wins just as much as your big ones.
    • Honor your heart. Honor your inner knowing. Honor the wisdom that exists within. No matter what someone else says, you’re the only one who ultimately knows what’s best for you.

    Self-care is a vital part in showing yourself complete and unconditional self-love.

    Candle Colors For Manifestation: A Complete Guide

    How To Use Candles For Manifestation

    Candles can be a powerful addition to your manifestation practice, as fire represents power and your inner light. Candles can also create a feeling of calm and inner serenity, allowing you to release negative energy and open yourself up to receiving.

    So how exactly do you use candles for manifestation?

    This is actually a pretty flexible practice. The main rule is to be intentional. When you first start incorporating candles into your manifestation practice, it’s best to use a brand new candle specifically chosen for this purpose. You can continue to use this candle for manifesting, but try to keep it as a dedicated manifestation candle. When it’s not being used, store it somewhere safe until you’re ready to use it again.

    Here are the steps to follow when using candles for manifestation. Note that you can use additional items to support your practice. (I’ve listed a few possible supplementary items down below.) Also, don’t stress too much about following the exact steps. If there’s something you want to add that feels right for you, go for it! For example, if you want to add Law of Attraction affirmations to your ritual, you absolutely can.

    Steps To Using Candles For Manifestation

    • Find a quiet, safe spot where you won’t be interrupted. If you have a sacred space or meditation table, this is ideal. Start with a brief meditation to create a feeling of calm, stability, and inner peace. Some people like to light their candle before they start meditating, and some like to light it after. Choose the path that feels best to you.
    • If you haven’t already lit your candle, light it now. Start visualizing what exactly you want to manifest. See it in your mind’s eye. As you visualize, feel all the positive emotions of having this thing in the present moment.
    • Now, you’re going to set your intention. What do you want to manifest? You might start by saying, “Dear Universe . . .” Be clear about what you want. Once you’re done, ask that your desire brings harm to no one. You might also want to add that it be for the highest good for all. Remember to express sincere gratitude for all that you have and all that’s on its way to you right now.
    • Then, let it go. You might visualize your intention as a paper lantern or balloon flying higher and higher up into the sky until it disappears. This represents letting go of your desire and trusting the Universe to take care of you.

    Tips For Setting Intentions

    When you’re communicating your desire to the Universe, you want to be clear and specific . . . while also leaving a little room for the Universe to give you something even better than you had imagined. For instance, let’s say you want to manifest a job. Maybe you just saw a job opening that you think could be a good fit for you. You can ask for this specific job, but what if there’s something better out there? Or what if this job only seems good on paper? Remember that you’re co-creating with the Universe. That means not trying to control every single detail. Instead of asking for that specific job, ask for a job with specific qualities instead: higher pay, great team, flexibility of schedule, meaningful work, ignites your sense of purpose and passion. Allow what the Universe delivers to be even better than what you think is possible.

    Other Tools To Support & Amplify Your Practice

    When you create your own manifestation ritual with candles, you might like to incorporate other tools to amplify your practice. Here are some items you might want to include:

    • Crystals & gemstones
    • Essential oils
    • Live flowers & plants
    • Dried flowers
    • Statues/figurines that hold special meaning to you
    • Herbs
    • Oils
    • Candle holders & stands
    • Soothing music

    Candle Colors For Manifestation

    Below, find the spiritual meanings of various candle colors for manifestation. You’ll notice that several meanings are repeated across different candle colors. For instance, purple, green, orange, and brown are all connected to financial abundance and prosperity. If you want to manifest financial success, it helps to look at the full list of meanings for each color. Do you also want to manifest good luck and new beginnings? Then green might be the best choice for you. If you’re looking for more joy, fun, and excitement in addition to prosperity, then you might choose orange.

    A Note About Selecting Candles

    Selecting candles for manifestation is a lot like selecting a new crystal or gemstone. Each candle color may have a specific meaning (just like crystals and gemstones have their own spiritual meanings), but ultimately, your greatest guide is your own intuition. If you’re at a store or shopping online and a specific candle calls to you, listen to the voice within. (You may find that this happens most often when you’re not even looking.) If a certain candle stands out to you, don’t overthink the color. Trust your inner knowing.

    What Is A Message From The Universe?

    A message from the Universe is a sign, synchronicity, or deep inner knowing that comes from a higher power. You might call this higher power the Universe, God, Source Energy, or another name that resonates with you. Messages can often be signs of alignment, giving you reassurance to know that you’re on the right path. They may also be gentle nudges in a certain direction. And sometimes, they’re simply loving reminders that you’re not alone. When you’re experiencing struggle and hardship, a message from the Universe can be a source of comfort, letting you know that everything’s going to be okay.

    Below, learn how to know if a message is from the Universe, what to do after you receive a message, and how to ask for a message when you’re feeling alone, discouraged, or just need a little extra reassurance. Plus, learn about 10 common signs from the Universe that you may experience in your daily life.

    In This Article:

    How To Know A Message Is From The Universe

    It’s likely that you’re experiencing messages from the Universe every single day. It may not feel like it because you may not yet associate it as coming from a higher power. A profound reason for this is that often, your daily messages come in the form of your own inner knowing. And trusting your inner knowing can be hard, especially at first.

    If you’re ever unsure if a message is truly from the Universe, you can ask yourself, “Does it feel like love?”

    Because here’s the truth: every single message you receive from the Universe should feel like love.

    You are your own biggest critic. You’re harder on yourself than anyone else could ever be. You may expect perfection from yourself, and because of your own heavy expectations, you think the Universe expects perfection from you, too. But it doesn’t.

    The Universe has never had a single negative thought or feeling about you; the Universe knows only love.

    So carry that with you as you learn how to decode messages from the Universe.

    The Universe is not out to get you. You will never receive a message telling you that you’re not worthy or that you’re not good enough. If you hear an inner voice criticizing or judging you, it’s not the Universe; it’s your own insecurities and self-doubt. You might receive messages to have more patience or to stop holding on so tightly to experiences or things, but even these messages will feel like love. They’ll feel like they’re in your best interest. Sometimes, a message may reveal a difficult truth you’ve been suppressing within, but this is never done to hurt you. These messages are meant to help you move forward on your path and to help you grow.

    Again, it all comes back to love. The foundation for all the messages you receive is love.

    You might have a hard time trusting your intuition, but ask yourself: can you trust love?

    Can you trust that if something feels like love, that means it’s right?

    Common Signs & Messages From The Universe

    Sometimes, the messages you receive will come in the form of your own intuition, and other times, it may be an object, symbol, or something you see or hear. Read below for 10 common messages you might receive in your daily life.

    Numbers and Number Patterns

    11:11. 333. 888.

    Numbers and repeating number patterns are often the most common type of message you may experience, especially when you’re first starting out. (Besides your own intuition, which should never be discounted.) The reason for this is because we’re surrounded by numbers constantly: time, temperature, dates, step count, mileage, even the number of likes on an Instagram post. When you’re learning to receive messages from the Universe, it’s also a good way to train your mind to pick up on signs.

    So what exactly do these numbers mean? Well, that depends. If the number or number pattern has a unique meaning to you, then trust your inner knowing to decode their meaning. If you’re not sure, that’s okay! Numbers hold spiritual meaning, so it may help to look up the meaning of the number pattern you keep seeing. If you want to learn more about angel numbers and the spiritual meaning of different number patterns, here’s a helpful guide from TheLawOfAttraction.com.

    Objects

    You’re at the store and a particular object speaks to you. Maybe a book falls off the shelf in front of you. Or you find something in a drawer at home that you haven’t seen in years. Objects can come in all different forms, such as a toy, letter, article of clothing, picture, piece of jewelry, or anything that holds meaning to you.

    Dreams

    Dreams are a powerful guide to your subconscious mind. Have you ever had a recurring dream? Or maybe a particularly vivid and intense dream? Maybe you don’t have recurring dreams, but you dream about the same people or experiences often. What are these dreams telling you?

    Symbols

    Feathers, trees, flowers, shapes, and mountains are just a few of symbols that might show up for you. For instance, if white roses have a special meaning for you, maybe seeing or receiving a white rose is a sign to remind you that you are always loved.

    Synchronicities

    A synchronicity is one of those perfect timing moments that feels like there’s no way it could just be a coincidence. Someone you haven’t talked to in years suddenly appears in your mind, and the next day, they call you out of nowhere. Or you decide to follow your heart and move to a new city, and instantly, someone from your past shows up to offer you a job in that city, even though they had no idea you were looking. When a synchronicity shows up in your life, listen. These are gentle nudges from the Universe letting you know you’re on the right path and guiding you toward your next step.

    Songs & Song Lyrics

    Songs can represent messages both in their lyrical meaning and in your personal relationship with the song. The lyrics of a song could speak to you, or it could simply be the song title that catches your eye. A particular song may also have a special place in your heart. Did a song come on the radio that makes you think of your first love? This doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s time to call up your first love and give it another go. What it could be is a gentle reminder of a time in your life when your heart was open and unguarded. Maybe it’s time to open your heart again and let love in.

    Animals

    Does a certain animal show up for you in different places and times? It doesn’t have to be the actual physical presence of the animal; it could be a picture or a wood carving of the animal. The animal might also come to you in meditation. Your intuition may know exactly what the appearance of this animal means. If not, I encourage you to look up the spiritual meaning of this animal and see what resonates. This guide from SpiritAnimal.info offers some really great insight to help you get started.

    Money & Coins

    Finding money on the ground can be a message from the Universe that abundance is on its way. Instead of dismissing the next penny you see on the sidewalk as meaningless, say a quiet thank you to the Universe for this sign.

    Social Media Posts

    Have you ever found yourself scrolling through Instagram when you read a post that feels like it was written just for you? Do you know those posts that resonate so deeply, you’re called to bookmark and re-read them over and over again? If the words cause all the cells in your body to light up, trust that power. Trust that those words are meant for you.

    Your Own Intuition

    I can’t emphasize this enough: don’t discount the power of your own intuition. Your intuition is that deep inner knowing pulling you in a certain direction, even if it doesn’t make logical sense. Trusting your intuition can be scary at first, but once you start leaning in, you’ll realize that the steps you’re taking aren’t random. The Universe is always working behind the scenes to take care of you, even when you don’t see it. And that deep inner knowing you feel is a message from the Universe telling you it’s time to take inspired action. Everything is set up for you perfectly; all you have to do is act. Will the path ahead look exactly as you had hoped? Maybe not. But if you trust it, you may just open yourself up to something even more beautiful and profound than you can even imagine.

    What To Do After You Receive A Message

    Your next steps will depend on what message you received.

    If you received a gentle nudge to follow a certain path, walk forward in faith. It’s okay if you’re scared. When I received my nudge to quit my well-paying, full-time job to be a writer, I had zero prospects and no idea how I was going to make money. None. I was terrified, and I didn’t make the leap right away. It took me months to convince myself that I wasn’t making a huge mistake. But that pull inside was too strong to ignore. And now? I can tell you with gratitude and awe that it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It wasn’t always easy, and it required A LOT of faith, but I couldn’t be more grateful for the courageous girl who made that first scary step into the life of her dreams.

    Sometimes, your message won’t be to take action, though. Sometimes, it may be a message to have patience. Or it might be just a little reminder that you’re not alone. In these moments, simply expressing gratitude is enough. You might even imagine a blanket of inner peace washing over you. Let this message be a loving reminder that all is well and you’re going to be okay.

    How To Ask For Messages From The Universe

    If you’ve been looking for a message from the Universe and not receiving anything, that’s okay. This is actually completely normal. As frustrating as it sounds, the old adage is true: that thing you’ve been looking for usually comes when you stop looking. In the spiritual world, that means to surrender, let go, and trust.

    You can also ask the Universe for a sign in any moment when you’re feeling anxious, worried, or just need a loving reminder that you’re not alone. This may feel a little weird at first, but it gets more comfortable with time. You may think, “If I’m supposed to have faith, does asking for a sign show a lack of faith?” When you have these kinds of doubts and uncertainties (and these types of questions will often arise in your spiritual journey), I want you to come back to this truth:

    The Universe is never judging you. The Universe is never criticizing you. The Universe is only ever loving you.

    The Universe will never say, “This person asked me for a sign, so they must not trust me.” Never. Every single one of those feelings and doubts comes from within. This is why it’s so easy to self-sabotage when you’re on this spiritual path: because you experience negative thoughts about yourself and assume that’s what the Universe must think of you, too.

    So I want you to come back to this time and time again: The Universe is only ever loving me. The Universe is only ever loving me. The Universe is only ever loving me.

    You can absolutely ask the Universe for a sign, and in this article, I explain how.

    Here are two major points to remember when asking the Universe for a sign:

    • Sometimes, the sign will come pretty quickly. Other times, it may not. Have patience. If the Universe doesn’t respond right away, don’t assume you won’t get your message. I’m going to come back to that sometimes frustrating statement: it’ll come when you’re not looking.
    • And if you don’t receive the answer you were hoping for? From my experience, every single time I didn’t get what I wanted, it’s because something even better was coming. Every. Single. Time.

    What Is Scripting?

    Whether you’re new to the Law of Attraction or an experienced manifestor, scripting is a worthwhile practice to help lift your vibrations, elevate your emotions, and align you with the frequency of your dreams and desires. It’s also a beneficial practice to help you set intentions and get clear about what exactly you want to manifest.

    So what exactly is scripting?

    Scripting is a combination of visualization and journaling. In this practice, you write about your dreams and desires in story-like form, as if you already possess everything you want to manifest. For instance, let’s say you want to manifest your dream job. When you sit down to script, you’d write about your day as if you have your dream job right now, in the present moment. Here are just a few ways you could approach this:

    • You could write about receiving the phone call offering you your dream job as if it just happened or is happening right now.
    • You could also write about your perfect first day on the dream job.
    • Or you could even write as if you’ve been working in this dream job for a while now, and you’re absolutely loving it.

    The key here is to write as if you’re already living your dreams and desires right now in this present moment. You’ve made it. You have everything you can dream of and more. There is no more waiting; it’s all here for you, and all you have to do is reach out and grab it.

    Below, learn more about the benefits of scripting, plus get tips and prompts to help you get started today. And be sure to download your free Law of Attraction scripting template. In this template, I take you through the different components that should be added to your script. After you complete the forms in this template a few times, you’ll have all the tools you need to complete your own powerful scripts.

    Benefits Of Scripting

    So why exactly should you add scripting to your manifestation practice? Here are the key benefits of scripting:

    • Aligns your frequency with your desires: In scripting, you don’t simply write the words down and leave them there; you allow yourself to feel all of the positive emotions of having your dreams in the present moment. When you do this, you get on the same wavelength of your desires, which attracts more positive things, people, and experiences to flow into your life.
    • Raises your vibration: It feels good to feel good. By raising your vibrations, you’re inviting more good-feeling vibes into your inner and outer worlds.
    • Helps you set intentions: One of the first steps in manifestation is to get clear about what you want. Scripting your dream life allows you to figure out exactly what you want in full detail.
    • Engages your sacral and third eye chakras: How often do you get to engage in creative practices? How often do you use your imagination in your daily life? Through scripting, you get to let your inner creative being shine, allowing you to engage with your energy centers for creativity (sacral) and imagination (third eye). In many ways, scripting can engage all of your chakras, as it allows you to feel safe, strong, confident, loved, and abundant. When your chakras are open and energy is flowing through you with ease, you’re in closest alignment with your highest, most authentic self.
    • Builds confidence: One of the biggest barriers to manifesting your dreams is your own self-doubt. When you script, you not only increase your own positive emotions, but you lift your confidence and show your mind that you can do it. This is why elite athletes often practice visualization exercises repeatedly before a big game or event. By the time the event actually comes, they’ve done it so many times in their minds, they feel confident in their abilities and know they can perform at the highest level.

    Tips For Scripting

    • Use your five senses: To fully immerse yourself in your script, write about the experience using all of your senses. What do you see, feel, smell, touch, and taste? If you want to manifest a new car, you could write pages simply detailing how it feels to sit in and drive this car using all of your senses.
    • Use only past and present tense: Write about each experience as if it’s happening right now (or just happened). For instance, if you’re scripting a day in your dream life, you could imagine it’s the end of the day and you’re journaling about everything that happened that day. Or you could write as though you’re walking through this day right now. The key is to feel as if this experience belongs to you now, not in an intangible future.
    • Express gratitude: When you express gratitude, you’re essentially telling the Universe, “More of this please.” More love. More joy. More freedom. More abundance. In your script, frequently express gratitude for this incredible life you get to live.
    • Don’t just write; feel: I alluded to this above, but it can’t be emphasized enough. The key to making scripting work is to feel all of the positive emotions of having your dreams and desires right now. Let these feelings light up every cell of your being. And when you’re done, continue to carry them with you throughout your day.

    Selenite Wand: Meaning, Benefits, And How-To

    Below, discover the powerful benefits of using a selenite wand to cleanse and protect your energy and connect you to your highest, most authentic self. Plus get tips for using a selenite wand to heal your chakras and protect your sacred space.

    Selenite Wand Meaning & Benefits

    If you’re new to collecting and using crystals, a selenite wand is one of the first pieces you’ll want to acquire, as it’ll likely become the foundation and centerpiece of your collection for years to come. (And there’s also a good chance that you’ll end up with more than one!)

    So what makes selenite so important?

    Selenite is unique in its properties and abilities, as it can cleanse the energy of people, spaces, and even other crystals. But that’s not all: in addition to clearing unwanted energy, it can also replace this energy with something more uplifting and positive.

    Selenite is also a protection stone, but it has a softer, gentler energy than common protection stones suck as Black Tourmaline and Obsidian. It will help you to release anxiety and negative emotions that aren’t serving your highest purpose and fill your spirit with light, compassion, and love.

    Additionally, selenite is a deeply spiritual stone. It will help you to unblock energy that’s stopping you from reaching your highest potential. It will also connect you with your inner light and the light of the Universe, allowing you to remain spiritually open and connected to the divine. Using a selenite wand can help you to become more receptive to the signs, synchronicities, and messages of the Universe.

    At its foundation, these are the meanings most intrinsically tied to the selenite wand:

    • Light
    • Clarity
    • Focus
    • Consciousness
    • Protection
    • Harmony
    • Serenity
    • Deep Peace
    • Positive Energy
    • Soul Healing
    • Divinity

    For more details on how to use crystals to protect your energy, manifest your dreams, and help you heal from within, check out my post, How to Use Crystals: Grids, Pendulums & More.

    Selenite Wand & Chakra Healing

    Because of its power, selenite can actually be used to heal all of your life force energy. That means selenite will work with all of your chakras in healing stagnant energy and clearing up any blockages within.

    However, it’s most often associated with your highest chakras, namely your crown chakra and third eye chakra.

    Your crown chakra is located at the crown of your head, and it’s your energy center for spirituality, enlightenment, peace, trust, transcendence, and connection to a higher power. Your third eye chakra, located between your eyebrows, is your body’s energy center for intuition, imagination, insight, open-mindedness, and mental strength. When these two chakras are balanced, you’re in highest alignment with your most divine self: the unchanging, infinite part of you that’s untouched by human experiences – the part of you that remembers your power to create, to love, and to live a life of pure bliss.

    To use a selenite wand to balance your internal energy and heal your chakras, place it on the physical location of the energy center you want to clear in silent meditation. You can also clear your energy by hovering the selenite wand a couple inches over your body and sweeping it over your skin from top to bottom (kind of like you’re brushing your hair). You can read more about how to use a selenite wand to clear your energy below.

    How To Use A Selenite Wand

    Meditation

    Meditation itself is a profound practice for releasing negative energy, inviting light into your body, and connecting your mind, body, and spirit as one. Selenite can deepen your meditations and amplify these effects even further. You can also use a selenite wand (or multiple wands) in your meditations when you’re feeling dull, negative, or stagnant energy within. Additionally, some people find that using selenite wands regularly in their meditation practice helps them sink into their meditations quicker. (Me included.)

    If you have two selenite wands, you can hold one in each hand as you meditate. This allows you to invite light and restore balance into both sides of your body. If you have one selenite wand, hold it within both of your palms clasped together. You can also set it on your chest if you’re laying down.

    Clear Your Energy

    Every day, you’re picking up energy from all around you. Sometimes, you’re able to let this energy flow to and through you with ease, and other times, you might need a little extra help. When you aren’t able to spend time recharging under the sun or sitting beneath the moon, selenite can act in place of these light sources. It not only helps you clear up any negative or dark energy within, but it’ll replace it with a higher vibrations and overall more positive feelings.

    And as I mentioned above, it can also clear up any stagnant energy blocking your chakras, helping you to find alignment with your highest, most authentic self: the real and true you.

    One way to use a selenite wand to clear your energy is to rest it on your chest while you’re laying down. You can do this in meditation or simply in quiet stillness.

    You can also sweep it over you from your head to your toes, keeping the wand just a couple inches over your body. You might also find it helpful to keep a piece of selenite nearby or wear it as jewelry on days you’re needing an extra pick-me-up. (Be careful when you wear selenite as jewelry, though, as it’s very soft and can get damaged more easily than harder stones.) You can also keep a piece of selenite in your purse or pocket to carry this positive, cleansing, and protective energy with you throughout the day.

    Cleanse Your Space

    Just like selenite can clear your own energy, it can also cleanse the energy of the space you’re in and replace it with lighter, more positive energy. Because of this, you might find it helpful to have multiple selenite wands that you can keep in various places around your house and workspace. Your office, bedroom, car, and main living space are all ideal places to keep a selenite wand. It can also be good practice to travel with a selenite wand to clear and protect the energy of the place you’re staying in.

    *Tip: For even deeper cleansing and energy protection, you can place a selenite wand at all four corners of a room. You might do this when you’re traveling or in any room that can often get weighed down in heavy, dull, or negative energy.

    Crystal Cleansing

    One major reason to add selenite to your crystal collection is that it has the ability to cleanse other crystals. If it’s been a while since you’ve cleansed one of your crystals, or if you’re feeling some dull or negative energy coming from one of your stones, set it next to a piece of selenite for 24 hours (with their sides touching). You can also set crystals and gemstones on a selenite plate like this one. If you keep your crystals in one area, try to put your selenite wand near the center. It can be helpful to have a selenite wand devoted solely to cleansing and replacing the energy of your other crystals and gemstones.

    How To Cleanse A Selenite Wand

    So if selenite can cleanse other crystals, what cleanses the selenite?

    Selenite is different from most other crystals in that it can be self-cleansing. This means you don’t have to do very much to keep its energy clear. However, it still pays to show it a little extra love every once in a while. You can charge it under the moon for a night, and when you do want to cleanse its energy, immerse it in some cleansing sage. It’s usually recommended to keep your selenite away from water, though, as this soft crystal can dissolve when it gets wet.
