May we celebrate that we are leaving “The Void” behind us and the promise of light is upon us – welcome to Imbolc. The time when the air still feels crispy, it might even snow, but below that winter blanket, there’s the promise of new life. And as our bodies start to receive more intense rays of light from the skyclock up above, we know that the seasons are shifting and winter will turn into spring.

I love this time of year when the light returns. It always ignites my manifestation magick practices.

December and January support me in retreating for an in-depth process of inner alchemy. Can you envision me stirring a cauldron, loudly cackling away while adding all kinds of ingredients into my boiling brew? This retreating is my technique for digesting all life’s experiences that were gifted to me in that year.

By February, I start to get a more precise grip on what I desire to manifest. Or even better put, I begin to receive information on the actions I can take in daily life to quicken the materialisation of what I’m drawing in.

This can be mundane information, such as creating a new time management schedule for a project or changing my workout routine. But it can also be on a spiritual level, for example adding or changing a ritual, or focussing on balancing a chakra energy that will help me in my growth towards the embodiment of my vision.

But it all starts with opening the doors to what ignites you by tending to your inner frequency, tending to that inner flame.

How?

Let me help you with a guided seated meditation to bring back your fire. So you can radiate your magick into your life and create a world you want to live in.

With love and fiery blessings,
Aïsha

We all know this beautiful crystal! For most of us, rose quartz is one of the first crystals in our collection. It’s a widely available mineral with a soft to warm pink radiance and loved for its harmonising, nurturing energy.

I have to be honest with you, I came late to the rose quartz party (probably still early at the age of sixteen, but hey I got my first crystal when I was five).

Rose quartz wasn’t one of my favourites when I started collecting as a child, maybe because I didn’t vibe with it or simply because it wasn’t on my radar. Even after adding some rose quartz pieces to my collection (which were all gifts by the way), it took me a while to appreciate it beyond ‘just pretty’.

Looking back on my personal growth I’m so grateful that this crystal energy grew on me. On a personal level, I’ve witnessed its enforcement in implementing practices of self-love, acceptation and trust. As a crystal therapist and witch coach, I continuously observe the loving guidance this crystal energy offers to my clients during their transformations.

This crystal is one of nature’s most significant mineral gifts in the (self) love department, and I’m here for it!

WHY ROSE QUARTZ SHOULD BE PART OF YOUR CRYSTAL KIT

It’s the go-to frequency amplifier for love, self-love, harmony, nurture and support. This crystalline spirit can help in your process of working through traumas, grief, loss, and insecurity. With its calming vibes, it’s a very suitable crystal for young children who have difficulty with being alone, sleeping and resting, and feeling secure. For these apparent reasons its part of “The Love Collection”, and if you’re still on the lookout for a unique piece, click here.

Gorgeous being,

Let me start off with wishing you a blessed, wonderful, magical and healthy new year!

Oh my dear spirits, what a year 2020 has been … I won’t spend time on how this year has been like no other we have ever witnessed – it was quite apparent and 2020 will definitely be marked in our history books.

I earnestly wish last year has given you something beautiful! Maybe in the form of silence and serenity, perhaps in the form of discovering an unfathomable power deep within.

In this video I’ll share my divinatory insights about the magic of manifesting – what that even means for 2021 – accompanied by a new moon meditation and a separate ritual which you can repeat whenever you feel like it. I’ll explain more in the video. Happy weaving!

With love,
Aïsha

NEW MOON RITUAL TO PREP YOURSELF FOR SOME SACRED MANIFESTING

I have to share this ritual with you ’cause it’s simple, effective and in my experience the one that always gets the job done – for it embodies this element of ‘out of your head – and into action’. 2021 will be a year of focussing on the little steps that get you to where it is you want to be. Not meaning that your dreams and desire shouldn’t be BIG.

Besides that this ritual brings together the practice of self-love, personal energy, intuition, embodied action and empowerment. Gotta love such a packed ritual right?!

Tools:

– Sage, Palo Santo or any other herb or aura spray you like to cleanse your space with,
– Candle,
– Journal,
– Optional: your favourite music.

If you’re reading this on the 13th of January, know that we’re still in the dark moon… Now is not the time to a ham on your manifestations, but the right timing for introspection and preparation.

Make sure you create some ‘me’ time. Physically cleanse the space your in, and energetically cleans it by using your Palo Santo or Sage, etc. If you have the possibility to also take a bath, or shower… do it!

When you’re ready do whatever is needed to get you in the zone. Maybe listen to this meditation that I have recorded, put on your fav. music, sing, dance, or do breathing exercises. Whenever you feel ready light the candle, sit in front of it and stare into the flame. You can protect your eyes by squinting or staring at the candle through a veil placed over your head. Take at least 5 to 10 minutes to fully let your monkey brain do all the chitter-chatter it wants. Let the mind calm down, and be present in the moment.

When you become aware of the calm mind, imagine that you and the flame are one. Become the light of the flame. After sitting like this for about 2 minutes let the fire that is you represent the fire of your manifestation – that thing that you’re calling into your life. Again, let everything melt together – flame, Self, manifestation, flame, Self, manifestation. Stating that the thing that you long for is already in the now, including how this makes you feel.

For example;
‘I wish to find a new job’, becomes ‘I am enjoying my creative and ever-expanding new job and I feel blessed with …’.

After staying in this space for a few minutes go for pen and paper and answer the following questions (considering the thing you’re calling in):
– What area of my life can use a cleanse?
– What area of my life could use more fire, action or rebellion?
– Which traditions, rituals, etc. am I holding onto, but are old and can be released?
– What obstacles (be it mental, emotional, or on a more mundane level) do I keep bumping into and are keeping you from your happiness?
– What can I regularly gift myself, which will help me move closer to my heart’s desire? 

Repeat this practice for three days in a row. Then compare your answers and let them inspire you to take embodied action.

And remember – have fun!

Gorgeous Being! I hope this message finds you well in these extra-ordinary times. We are all going through significant changes on multi-dimensional levels, and I want you to know you are not alone.

Many of you have been reaching out in various ways. We talked about emotions and thoughts during this pandemic, family and work, anxiety and stress.

Questions that I’ve been getting the last couple of weeks haven’t gone unnoticed. So let me share with you my “witch tips” on how to stay healthy and strong whilst being locked up in your home.
 

MORNING ROUTINE

Through the years, I’ve noticed the beneficial effects of having a morning routine. When I stick to this habit, my day flows with much more ease.

Now don’t think this routine is taking me hours. I’m someone who doesn’t take nor have all day to meticulously go through detailed routines. I love techniques that are is easy, accessible and applicable, and if those things help me get the results that I want, I’m going to stick to them – no matter what.

Also, my routines aren’t static. No repetitive behaviour whole year-round. I have a witchy mindset which flows with the seasons. So as I change with the seasons, so do my habits. 

But it is times like these (the moments when humankind adds so much energy to a specific type of being and believing) that I feel the need to amp up my game. 

So let me share with you three routines that I’ve been practising the last couple of weeks. Just to keep my body and energy-field healthy and strong.

A) Every morning I make myself a fresh celery juice. Sometimes pure celery, other times, I add different greens such as spinach, kale, green pepper or wheatgrass. And a zest a lemon always gets me going. 

First time I drank it, which was years ago, I didn’t like the taste at all. Still, I stuck to regularly slow juicing celery because I noticed my skin getting clearer, my energy levels going up, and in the morning I didn’t need two cups of coffee anymore to get me going. This juice works wonders for my metabolism and is amongst other things, high in vitamins C and K and potassium.

B) Move. I used to have exercise-induced asthma in my teens and got used to not moving because I wasn’t fond of using my inhalator for two reasons. 

The first one had everything to do with having gone through a couple of intense asthma attacks. Imagine your breath suddenly taken and the feeling of not getting enough oxygen while you start to make this awful squeaking sound while breathing. A sudden asthma attack can be a scary experience that leaves its mark. I did everything in my power not to go through such episodes again. 

The second reason was because of the medicine itself. It made me tired AF. So the best thing I could come up with to cope with this situation was not to exercise at all.

Can you imagine I’m a yoga teacher now? I never want to go back to these days of not feeling connected to my own body. I need to move, every day. Be it through a Vinyasa sequence or walking 10.000+ steps (I live at the edge of the forest, so that’s quite easy – though I walk way more when I’m in New York City hahaha).

Days when I don’t get to move as much as I’d like to take their toll on me – mentally and physically. 

Movement is a celebration for my body and an appreciation to my body.

C) Since I’ve always been interested in ways to beat fear, I was naturally drawn to breathing techniques. And as a singer, I learned to breathe quite effectively. But breathing was taken to a whole other level when I started experiencing and researching different breathing techniques that were connected to my yoga practice.

Every morning I tune into my body and breath. My breath is my thermometer showing me where I am on the scale of being versus doing. There’re different techniques, and I’ll gladly share more about that, but let me get to the sharing in a minute …

A PRACTICE I PREACH – FOR OVER 22 YEARS

I cleanse my auric field – daily – multiple times. This sounds like a hassle, but over these 22 years of practising, I sure did crack a code.

Let me share with you which tools always worked for me without getting into all the details of how this practice changed the life of this very intuitive and high sensitive person.

Crystals, herbs, incense and oils are my go-to’s. I used to burn a lot of incense when I was younger (which luckily didn’t trigger my asthma, for this was only exercise-induced). But once I went to university and moved out of my parental home, I noticed – with the travelling, staying over at other peoples houses etc. – that the burning of herbs and incense wasn’t always welcomed. Nor was it something that I found practical and accessible.

So I started experimenting with creating my own potions and elixirs. No more smoke, no extra luggage, just some potent witchcraft in a bottle to spray.

I started experimenting with boiling herbs, infusing water with different types of crystals and more. It turned into a practice that now is imprinted in my bones – or maybe it had been all long. 

Nowadays, I share my potions in the form of crystal aura sprays with clients, spray them during yoga classes and design special editions for events, workshops and rituals.

Today I’m extra happy for I may announce that this new moon in Aries brings the launch of my very own webshop! And in the webshop, you’ll find amongst other products the special edition aura spray ‘Healing Waters’. 

HEALING WATERS

Healing Waters is that aura spray for extra-ordinary times! The mix of essential oils dates all the way back to 1413 CE and holds purifying, refreshing and revitalising ingredients. The healing properties of this spray are supported by water out of the Chalice Well in Glastonbury – known for its healing qualities. And I’ve amplified the vibrations of this spray with clear quartz crystal, moon magic and positive affirmations.

This is a perfect spray to accompany you at the (home)office to keep you energetically fresh and clean, and during the challenging winter months when your immune system can use an extra boost.

If you want to know more, I’ve recorded this video for you in which I share more about:
-the Healing Waters crystal aura spray, 
– the ingredients I used, 
– and a limited edition Healing Waters Boxset, which comes with the aura spray, a Healing Waters Candle and Clear Quartz Crystal including a gift from me to you. An online 30-minute coaching call to program your crystal. So you can stay on top of your game no matter what!

THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO THIS

I have so much more to share on the topic of routines, consciously creating your energy and tuning in with your body, your mind and intuition.

I would love to share this with you in a free 7-day mini-course.

But before I go and spend hours behind a computer to create this course, I need to know from you if this is something you might be interested in and what it is that you want to learn.

Is it how to weave your own magic? Tap into your intuition. Create a helpful mindset and a healthy body. Or maybe something I haven’t mentioned so far …

Please reach out to me. Just give me a shout. E-mail me or send a message via Instagram or Facebook, and I’ll be in touch.

Let’s get in touch soon, so we can make this homebound time even more fruitful. Because it is when we get to grow and use our inner power on this beautiful planet, we all grow and evolve together.

For now – be healthy, wise and safe. Take good care of yourself and your loved ones.

All blessings be,

Aïsha

It’s the first new moon of this decade on the 24th of January. To me, it always feels as if the new year is really settling in on the first new moon. And the energy that she brings this time is totally resonating with that.

This year the new moon falls in the sign of Aquarius, the known water-bearer, but nonetheless an Air sign so pretty mental in nature. Aquarius is the humanitarian of the zodiac, bringing team spirit, quirkiness and innovative ideas. How to get the best out of these elements? Keep on reading, because there are more ingredients to add.

LUNAR YEAR OF THE RAT 

And with this new moon welcoming the Chinese Year of the Metal Rat! The Rat is the first in the twelve-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac and stands for high flexibility, vitality, spirit and alertness, with the element of metal adding some strong self-awareness and sensitivity. 

Witch tip for 2020: The Metal Rat is divine energy fuelling your ambitions, drive and possible business dealings, thus an absolute power boost. Though be mindful. The Metal element can bring in some emotional sensitivity to the table. Make sure to check in with yourself regularly and take a moment to relax, so you don’t let your emotions run your life, business or communications. 

HOW TO GET YOUR WITCHING GOING

So how to make the best of this astrological time and weave your magic? This new moon is a great time to start with setting your intentions. After the busy holiday season, I hope you’ve had time to do some grounding and inner work to get clear on what it is that you want to attract and manifest. If not, don’t worry – now is the time! Described below, you’ll find a three-step ritual to get your witch power going. 

To attract and manifest your desires, it’s essential to spend time with your power frequency, namely the vibration of being the creator of your life. We’ve all heard it: dream big. Dreaming and hoping is one thing, but if fear and self-doubt are continuously popping up their heads, freezing instead of moving towards your desires, you’re keeping yourself away from your inherent power and the endless possibilities in which you can design your own life.  

The new moon represents a deep sense of quiet, a journey within, while you transition through this lunar time of renewal and new beginnings – yay to the new year! Let’s use this time in creating clarity, strategy, but first and foremost, harmony.

HARMONY

To support yourself into attuning to your power frequency start by cleansing your auric field. Release and relief yourself of old vibrations and energetic debris that are a result of the past year or even decade. 

Do this by taking a cleansing salt bath or shower. Salt cleanses your energy field, so while you’re playing mermaid, you’re getting an automatic cleansing of your system. You can even sprinkle some dried sage into your bathwater, which will support the clearing energies. 

If possible, replace sea or Himalayan salt with Epsom salt to add minerals to the water that will support muscle relaxation due to the high levels of magnesium so you can also enjoy a physical detox. 

If you don’t have a bath, make yourself a scrub from salt and sage. 

While washing or bathing attune to the intention of releasing any negative vibrations that are keeping you from your highest potential. Really take time to quite the shatter that forms the obstacles on the road to attracting and receiving what it is that you desire.

CLARITY

After bathing, treat yourself like the divine being you are by massaging your body with your favourite mineral-free oil, like almond oil. You can add some essential oil with a soothing fragrance to the equation. 

Think about your dreams. What are you manifesting during this new moon? While massaging your body, let the ideas come.

Now sit by your altar (or table), light your white candle (using white as a representation for all possibilities) and decorate your altar with white flowers. Meditate for a few minutes on all the desires that just travelled through your consciousness and pick only three things out of the whole bunch that you want to manifest. 

Write down:

1. Something you wish will unfold quite quickly, 

2. Something which you want within the course of three to four months, 

3. And the third one over half a year. 

STRATEGY

Now use the following two weeks to revisit the three things on your list and journal. Writing down all the things that you can do to support a full display of your dreams into your life. Remember. Dreaming is one thing. Formulating them out in the open and into your journal is the second step of conscious manifesting. Acting accordingly is the third (and often forgotten) crucial step to open up your life to the frequencies that you want to attract. 

MAKE YOUR MAGIC INTELLIGIBLE

If you really desire to make your magic insightful, set your alarm for the 3rd of August. On this day, a full moon in Aquarius will occur, allowing you to review the events over the past few months. Don’t worry if something didn’t manifest. Ask yourself if this is something that you really want, something that sparks an emotion of joy. If yes, find a new strategy to get you there. If not, drop it. And most important, celebrate your accomplishments!

WHAT TO PREPARE IN A NUTSHELL

– Himalayan, Sea or Epsom salt,
– Dried sage,
– Your favourite mineral-free body oil,
– White candle,
– White flowers,
– Journal and pen.

You are divine, pure potential. As a result, your innate power is infinite, and what you can accomplish might blow your mind. Lots of power to you while weaving your magic! 

I absolutely would love to hear from you. Show or tell me how your ritual went. Upload your story or post on Instagram and use #aïshazafirah or send a message via Instagram or Facebook and I’ll be in touch.

New moon blessings,
Aïsha
