Breathe Love & Magic

Ever wonder why you feel so connected to some people even if it doesn’t make much sense? That’s one of 14 signs of soul contracts! Discover all these signs in this new episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. What Are Soul Contracts? A soul contract is a spiritual agreement your soul makes before you’re even born. It’s like your soul’s way of sketching out a rough blueprint for growth, healing, and connection in this lifetime. Before you incarnate, you choose certain people, experiences, and challenges that will support your evolution. Your contracts aren’t about fate calling the shots, but more like sacred invitations to grow, heal, remember who we are, and return to a deeper truth. Some soul contracts bring ease, love, and support. Others are not so easy and may show up as conflict, heartbreak, or challenges that shake you to your core. But no matter what they look like on the surface, these agreements are here to help you grow and awaken. Who are these people? Most often they are souls from your own soul pod, as author Michael Newton calls this group of beings. It’s like a soul family really. He’s written several books about life between lives in the soul pod and I read Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls– I loved both! Often showing up in powerful relationships, soul contracts include romantic partners, family members, close friends, mentors, or even people who trigger us. They can stir deep emotions or feel strangely familiar, as if you’ve done this dance before. And maybe… you have. Some contracts last a lifetime. Others fulfill their purpose and might end abruptly or gently fall away once the lesson is complete. What’s the Key to a Soul Contract? Mutual growth! Even if one person plays a more challenging role, both souls are learning something. A tough relationship might be helping you find your voice. A supportive one might be reminding you how worthy you are of love. When you start to recognize these patterns, something shifts. Instead of seeing certain people or situations as random or unfair, you begin to sense the larger story unfolding—and the wisdom behind it. So how do you know if a soul contract is at play? 14 Signs You Have a Soul Contract 1. Instant Connection or Recognition. You feel like you’ve known them forever, even if you just met. There’s a spark of familiarity. 2. Strong Emotional Reactions. They bring up big feelings—love, irritation, longing, or even a mix of everything. 3. Repeating Patterns. The same dynamic keeps coming up between you, like a loop asking to be seen and healed. 4. Unfinished Business from Past Lives. You sense there’s history between you—maybe through dreams, intuitive hits, or moments that incredible familiarity. 5. Magnetic Pull. You feel drawn to each other, even when it doesn’t make logical sense. 6. They Challenge You. They reflect parts of yourself you may not want to look at but need to in order to grow. 7. Unbreakable Bond. Even if you separate, life has a way of weaving your paths back together—until the work is done. 8. Support During Turning Points. They show up during a major life shift, offering guidance, pressure, or perspective on the transformation you are undergoing. 9. Sense of Shared Purpose. The relationship feels meaningful, like you’re part of something bigger than just the connection. 10. Deep Inner Knowing. You just know this person is meant to be part of your life with no explanation needed. 11. Synchronicities in the Connection. Signs, symbols, numbers, or serendipitous events seem to echo the importance of this bond. 12. Strong Sense of Déjà Vu. Being with them feels like a scene you’ve lived before, because it feels so familiar. 13. Relationship Defies Logic. Age, distance, circumstances… none of it adds up. And yet, the connection is undeniable. 14. They Accelerate Your Spiritual Growth. This person activates something in you—an awakening, a deepening, a remembering. Now you have the answer to what is a soul contract! Soul contracts aren’t always easy, but they often hold some of our most powerful lessons. How to Handle Relationships with Soul Contracts When you sense you have a soul contract with someone, it can feel exciting, confusing, emotional—or all of the above. These relationships tend to stir something deep. These six steps will help you better handle this special type of relationship: Awareness — The first step is to become aware and accept that there is a contract and acknowledge the connection. Instead of trying to figure it all out or control how it unfolds, allow yourself to simply go with it. Be Curious — Ask yourself, “What might this relationship be here to teach me?” Soul contracts are about growth. Curiosity and compassion will get you farther than judgment or fear. Watch Your Emotional Responses — These connections often bring up strong feelings and sometimes old patterns you thought you’d already healed. Pause before reacting. Think about why tis is coming up for you. The insight that follows can be life-changing. Set Healthy Boundaries — Having a soul contract with someone doesn’t mean you have to stay in a relationship that’s hurtful or out of alignment. Sometimes, the lesson is learning how to let go, choose yourself first, or speak your truth. Establish those healthy boundaries and take care of yourelf – that could be the lesson! Lean into the Lesson — Whether this person is teaching you about trust, surrender, patience, or power, engage with the process. Journaling, reflection, or meditation can help you understand the deeper purpose behind the connection. Trust the Timing — Some soul contracts are lifelong, while others are meant to be brief but transformative. Try not to cling to what “should” happen. Trust that your higher self knows what it’s doing—and that nothing is ever a waste of time. Next time you wonder what is a soul contract or if you’re in one, reflect back on this podcast. When you meet someone who stirs your soul, there’s often more going on than meets the eye. By remaining open, self-aware, and willing to evolve, you can navigate these deep connections with grace and wisdom. If you’re struggling in a soul contract type of relationship, intuitive insights can make a huge difference! Schedule your session today!

Curious about the benefits of intuition? If you tap into your intuition regularly, you’re in for a treat! In this episode, I’ve explored nine amazing advantages that intuitive people enjoy over those who ignore or don’t use their skills. Read Between the Lines If you use your intuitive, one advantage is the ability to “read between the lines”. Life is complex and situations become easier to navigate when you pick up subtle cues. This could be in the form of body language or tone of voice. In business, this skill can help you negotiate deals better by sensing where there’s still room to move. Being attuned to these nuances is part of having a sixth sense. Solve Problems Creatively Intuition sparks creativity by allowing outside-the-box thinking. Ever heard how Albert Einstein would solve problems by setting an intention, then taking a nap. He was seeking creative solutions through his dreams, You don’t need to nap to access your creativity, but letting your intuition flow freely often results in innovative ideas that popp up out of nowhere. Recognize Patterns Noticing patterns in life is another intuitive advantage. This lets you make connections between past experiences and new challenges, providing a quicker response to tackle problems. Intuitive folks use their vast knowledge base efficiently, while others may struggle to see these connections or leverage their previous learnings. What’s the difference between fortune telling and intuition? Trust Your Gut The idea of “trusting your gut” is backed by science, establishing your gut as your second brain. With up to 500 million neurons, no wonder your inner wisdom is powerful! Your gut instincts are invaluable and are there for survival. This dates back to primitive man who had to rely on their sixth sense to keep the family and the community safe from predators and other concerns. While some people rely solely on facts, intuitive individuals have an added layer of insight. They can successfully skip past the analysis paralysis others might face and have to suffer through. See Possibilities The ability to think about the future and see positive possibilities is another perk of being intuitive. You tend to view potential outcomes optimistically, opening up opportunities that might be unseen by those who only focus on the surface level and facts. This positivity helps in creating endless options for growth and success. Check out my interview with Mystic Magazine about intuition. Understand Other People Empathy is often a superpower for intuitive people. You perceive others’ emotions and thoughts without spoken words, allowing for deeper connections. While some miss these cues entirely, your empathy creates meaningful relationships. Pick Up Clues Ever felt like you have an antenna sensing the world around you? Intuitive folks often pick up environmental clues, noticing when things are off or aligned. This awareness can prevent potential issues before they ever become actual problems. You might notice things that are out of place or how others are suddenly lined up perfectly. There are plenty of clues all around you when you are open to noticing them. Handle Uncertainty Better Life is full of uncertainty, which causes stress for many people.  However, you’re more comfortable with the unknown when you use your intuition. It just doesn’t bother you as much as it does others who are less tuned in. Your intuition provides trust in your ability to navigate new situations, reducing stress where others might easily falter. Live More Authentically Lastly, intuition helps you live more authentically because you’re more self-aware. This inner knowledge makes it easier to stay true to yourself, fend off distractions, and overcome roadblocks. You feel aligned with the universe and empowered to pursue your dreams fully. Yay! Intuition Is Your Inner GPS You might be surprised how often you rely on intuition daily. Whether it’s choosing the faster checkout line at the grocery store or knowing who’s calling before picking up the phone, these small decisions demonstrate your intuition in action. If you’re not tapping into your intuition yet, there’s no time like the present. Start small with everyday decisions and watch how it enhances your life. And if you’re ready for deeper exploration and connection with your inner wisdom, my program, Awaken Your Sixth Sense, offers seven comprehensive lessons to hone your intuitive skills. Record on audio, you’ll gets lots of things to try and ways to support and strengtehn your skills. Plus, it’s so much fun! By trusting and developing your intuition, you open up a world of possibilities for comfort, clarity, and success.   My original article was published on YourTango.com The post People Who Use Their Intuition Have 9 Huge Advantages! appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

Chaos. Darkness vs. Light. When you scroll through the news or social media, it’s easy to think darkness is unfolding at record speed. So, what’s the deal? Is this an epic battle where we need to rally the troops? Nope. That’s old-school thinking. Let’s flip the script and dive into what’s really happening with the balance of light and dark—and why light is absolutely taking the lead. This theme of light vs. darkness  is deeply embedded in religious, philosophical, and cultural traditions. It symbolizes the eternal struggle between good and evil, knowledge and ignorance, and spiritual enlightenment versus delusion. Misconceptions of Balance Many believe that the light and dark must be equal, like the scales of justice—but what if that’s not the case? What if light is actually growing, outpacing the darkness, regardless of what you might be seeing in the world right now? I’m going to explore why light is more powerful than dark. I’ll talk aout how the balance is spiritually. Most importantly—how can YOU strengthen and shine your own light in today’s world which needs it so much. First, I’m going to address the misconceptions about balance. Imagine Lady Justice which is probably familiar—picture two scales balanced in perfect harmony on either side of a women dressed in the clothing of ancient Greece and blindfolded. Classic, right? But did you know she originated in ancient Egypt? Yup – from the Egyptian Goddess Maat, who stood for truth, justice, and cosmic order. She would weigh a person’s heart against a feather to determine their fate in the afterlife. The scales of justice carried forward into ancient Greek and Roman mythology. Yet, when you think about it, the scales are rarely depicted as perfectly balanced. More often they tilt—one side rising while the other falls. This visual has reinforced a common misunderstanding: that darkness increases as light diminishes. That’s not how energy works! Darkness vs. Light -They Are NOT Equals Most people picture light vs. dark like some kind of cosmic seesaw. If one side goes up, the other must go down, right? Wrong. That’s a total misconception. Think about it—darkness doesn’t actually exist on its own. It’s just the absence of light. The moment you introduce even the tiniest spark, darkness disappears. It doesn’t fight back or push against the light. It just doesn’t exist anymore. We’re conditioned to believe in balance, like Lady Justice holding her scales. Believe it or not, that image scales was inspired by Maat, an Egyptian goddess who weighed a person’s heart against a feather. If your heart was heavy with lies and fear, you failed the test. If it was light with truth and wisdom, you moved forward. See where I’m going? Light doesn’t just exist alongside darkness. It transforms it. Light Is Multiplying If it feels like things are more intense than ever, that’s because they are. But not for the reasons you may think. Kryon, a channeled entity by Lee Carol said something fascinating about the light. He says today’s light is different. It doesn’t just illuminate more brightly—it multiplies. It creates more light and is self-sustaining. That changes everything. For years, light workers had to work hard to maintain their glow. It felt like one step forward, one step back. But now? Light is spreading at a rate never seen before. It’s gaining momentum, expanding on its own, and—this is the best part, it’s irreversible. You can’t un-know what you’ve awakened to. Once the light is on, darkness can’t reclaim that space. Why Darkness Feels Bigger If light is winning, why does darkness seem so… intense? Because darkness is panicking and scrambling. Darkness struggles as it recognizes that it’s being outshined. Think of this like darkness throwing a massive tantrum on the way out. Or like a villain in the final act of a movie—right before they go down, they get desperate, dramatic, and destructive. The systems that thrived on secrecy, fear, and division are starting to crumble. The institutions that relied on people staying small and uninformed are beginning to lose control. And they know it. Here’s the kicker – darkness needs your fear to survive. It has no power of its own. Darkness can only grow if you feed it with worry, doubt, and division. But the moment you choose light, even for a second, you weaken its hold. This is why people waking up in droves is so powerful. Every single person who chooses kindness over hate, courage over fear, and love over resentment chips away at the old energy and negativity. This is how we conquer in a world where it seems darkness vs. light is happening. How To Shine Even Brighter You don’t have to be perfect or a guru on a mountaintop. You just have to be yourself—as fully, authentically, and unapologetically as possible. Here are eight ways to amplify your light: Meditate, even for five minutes. Stillness increases your energy. Get outside. Nature is a powerhouse of light energy. Surround yourself with high-vibe people. Your energy matters. Drop the fear. It’s not helping, and it’s not real. Practice gratitude. Nothing raises your vibration faster. Follow your intuition. That gut feeling? It’s your soul speaking. Create something. Art, music, writing—light loves expression. Be of service. Every act of kindness is a ripple of light expanding outward. It’s not about battling darkness—it’s about choosing to shine so brightly that darkness has nowhere to hide. The World Needs Your Light Think of yourself as a lighthouse. Does a lighthouse chase away the darkness? No. It simply stands tall and radiates light onto the coastline, helping boaters find their way. What a relief! You don’t need to fight anything. You don’t need to struggle. Just be the light which inspires others to do the same. And collectively? We become an unstoppable force. When it comes to darkness vs.light, the darkness is NOT winning. It’s just making a lot of noise on the way out. Light is rising, expanding, and taking the lead. And the best part? You’re part of that! So, keep shining. The world is brighter because of you.   The post Darkness Vs. Light – Who’s Really Winning? appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

This episode is an updated, encore presentation of a well-listened to podcast I did years ago about the Luck of the Irish for St. Patrick’s Day. I talk about what luck is and where the phrase the “Luck of the Irish” originated. Meditation for Luck Then I share a wonderful meditation (maybe 15 minutes) about connecting to your luck and being inspired by Irish luck. It’s fanciful, fun, uplifting, and REAL. Irish luck comes with a long history and ancient lore about faery folk, leprechauns, rainbows and pots of gold. Immerse yourself in this concept and open to the luck flowing your way. The more luck you receive, the more you can share. Send it around to your friends and family. Luck is not meant to be savored alone but sprinkled around for all to enjoy and benefit from! I am not Irish by birth, but my husband is, so I’m Irish by marriage! We visited Ireland years ago and had the most magical time there. Just loved it. The people were warm, helpful, and friendly. The food was great and so were the pubs. The places we visited were beautiful, and the land was absolutely brimming with magic. I’ve also written a couple of articles about luck and how you can make your own or increase your good fortune. You can discover the eight magical items that create or attract good luck in this post. And, if you still want more, you might want to read this fun and empowering post about how to create a lucky life! Naturally, luck and magic are interchangeable ideas to me. It’s all about lightening up, finding joy, having fun, as well as feeling and sharing love. Magic strongly correlates to love and gratitude because both open your heart, allowing more magic to flow. I am grateful for the luck and magic in my life and am so happy to share my joy about this with you. I know without question that you are lucky too!   The post Here’s How Tap Into The Luck Of The Irish For St. Paddy’s Day appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

In a world obsessed with self-improvement, it’s easy to get stuck in an endless cycle of healing. I recently sat down with Katie White to discuss how to break out of this never-ending loop and step into real transformation. Addiction to Healing I kicked kicked off our conversation with a bold statement from Katie’s newsletter: “Healing is not a full-time job.” Wow, did that hit me. How many of you have made healing your personal life project? Chasing the next breakthrough and dissecting every trigger. Your convinced that if you just fix one more thing, you’ll finally be whole and happy But what happens when healing becomes another form of self-imposed struggle? When there’s no end in sight to your healing journey or the start of your happiness? Katie explained how the human brain can get addicted to the problem-solving process. It’s easy to get so caught up in “fixing” that you actually forget to live. This is like reliving the movie Groundhog Day where the same scenes repeat over and over again. There you are doing all the energy work, all the inner digging, striving to heal, but seeing little change in your external world. Sound familiar? Are You Stuck or Evolving? Here’s the key difference: Transformation isn’t about constantly processing or healing. Nope, it’s about approaching life differently. Katie shared a powerful example of a client who had done the deep work, unpacked her trauma, but still hesitated to step into the world. The shift didn’t happen through more healing sessions. Instead, her long awaited shift occurred when she started recognizing and embracing new facets of herself, looking and living beyond her wounds. That’s when real transformation kicked in. What are the signs that you are evolving? Your reactions change Old triggers lose their grip Instead of spiraling, you respond with more ease If that’s not happening, it might be time to ask yourself, “Am I actually healing, or just looping?” Looping is when you are going in circles, working to heal the same thing again and again. Who Are You Without the Struggle? One of the most eye-opening moments in the conversation was when Katie called out the biggest block to transformation. She called it “Identity Attachment”. Many people seem to unconsciously cling to their pain because it’s familiar. It becomes a comfort zone of sorts because it’s a familiar situation or feeling. If you’ve spent years defining yourself by what you’ve been through, it can feel unsettling to ask, “Who am I without this story?” Here’s the truth. Letting go of your trauma identity doesn’t mean you’re erasing your past. It means you’re making room for the expansive, multifaceted person you’re meant to be. The Dreaded Question “What’s New?” Ever struggle with the casual question friends or family often start a conversation with? “What’s new?” I cringe when I hear that question because I live a quiet life. I feel this anxiety creep over me due to what I experience as social pressure. Am I supposed to have something profound to report? Like I should have a major life update to share when anyone poses that question. While some people go on big trips, buy a new car, or luxury items, that’s not my life. There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just not what happens with me. So, when everyone starts talking about what’s new in their life, what do I say? “I channelled Poseiden and we talked about the state of the oceans.” There’d be sirens headed my way with a straight jacket. LOL Reframing Your Life Here’s a new idea to consider—what if I’m over overcomplicating it? Katie reminded me that “newness” isn’t just about big, flashy changes. Something new can be in the small, subtle shifts or every day moments of my life. For example, I might have a fresh perspective on a particular subject people are talking about or explored a new area of ancient history. Maybe I changed how I’m eating, started a new exercise regimine, or made a few new recipes. This really is a case of reframing. For one thing, I am always learning, so I can talk about what I have discovered. Surprisingly, the little things count far more than the credit I give them! Hear more about the power of reframing. Outgrowing Friends Is Normal Another hard truth about life and friendship is as you evolve, not everyone will come with you. Recently, I discovered that is actually NORMAL. Mel Robbins, in her podcast just had an episode about the three pillars of adult friendship. She says expect things to change. Thanks Mel! Katie pointed out that friendships and social circles are meant to be fluid. People enter our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. If certain relationships start feeling misaligned, it’s not a failure—it’s a sign of growth. Give yourself permission to seek connections that resonate with who you are today, not just who you used to be. Find Joy in the Small Stuff We wrapped up with the simplest, yet most profound realization: life isn’t just about the big triumphs. Joy is in the small moments that happen while you wait for the big moments, like graduation, getting married, the birth of a baby, etc. Magic can often be found in the seemingly mundane. These are all perfect examples of where you can find joy and magic in any day: The warmth of the sun on your face Your first sip of coffee in the morning Your favorite song on the radio A great catch-up conversation A hummingbird flying by Sharing a memorable meal Finding money in a parking lot A colorful sunrise or sunset A warm hug just when you need it The first crocuses of spring Trying something for the first time Laughter with a good friend These aren’t just filler moments. Often these are THE moments. When you string together all the little things, you see. They are all pieces of your happy life. Stop Waiting to Arrive Katie left me with a powerful reminder: Stop waiting to “arrive.” The goal isn’t to heal forever—it’s to live fully. Shift from “I’ll be happy when…” to embracing the now, and watch your world transform. Are you ready to get off the healing hamster wheel and step into a better life? The best strategy is to start small. Celebrate the tiny wins. Explore new sides of yourself. Most importantly—live your life. Because transformation isn’t a destination. It’s happening right now, in every single choice you make. Now go shine your light—the world is waiting! Listen to more with Katie White about healing and your identity BIO Katie White is a Trauma Informed Akashic Reiki Master Teacher, who could no longer ignore the powerful nudge to shift her life. She made a bold decision to trust her intuition, stop living the cookie cutter life and playing small, and commit to build a life she was proud of. Katie works with empathetic souls craving freedom from mental and physical pain and uses various healing experiences to help you rediscover yourself on a path to whole-body happiness. By commanding the energy around you, embodying your trauma and holding it with confident, gentle understanding, she’s able to bring awareness to subconscious thoughts that are holding you back and shift them providing healing that lasts. Truthfully, Katie never felt like she belonged anywhere, until she experienced the unshakable power of this work. When you are in her presence, she is absolutely honored to illuminate the natural radiance within you.

Are your days filled with problems rather than positivity and sunshine? Discover the simple keys to happiness because life is too short to be grumpy! On this week’s episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, I had the pleasure of hosting Deborah Mallow, a.k.a. your personal ray of sunshine. Deborah spent years cracking the code on how to inspire positivity and end self-sabotage, which she details in her book, Six Steps to Fewer Days That Suck. Trust me, this is not just fluffy, feel-good advice—her methods are practical, doable, and shockingly effective. Let’s dig into some of the wisdom she shared. Get Deborah’s Free Gift – You can join her Positive Energy Club and download her Motivational Checklist, Happiness Worksheets, and Feel-Good Activities that will help you build a life that’s lighter, brighter, and way more fun! Your Brain Loves the Drama Ever wonder why your brain clings to that one annoying comment someone made five years ago instead of the dozens of compliments you’ve received since? Blame it on your ancestors. As Deborah explains, negativity bias is an ancient survival mechanism. Back when our biggest problem was not getting eaten by a saber-toothed tiger, focusing on danger kept us alive. But in today’s world, there are no saber-toothed tigers lurking around the corner. Yet, our brains still act like every inconvenience is a life-threatening crisis. The good news? You can rewire your brain to focus on the positive. With conscious effort, you can boost the feel-good neurotransmitters—dopamine and serotonin—while lowering stress-related hormones like cortisol. And no, this doesn’t mean forcing yourself to be toxically positive. It’s about making small, conscious shifts that add up over time to help you feel more optimistic and uplifted. Here’s what my honeysuckle vine told me about joy. Break the Habit of Misery Deborah introduced me to a concept I absolutely love: being personally considerate. It’s about treating yourself with the same level of patience and kindness that you (hopefully) extend to others. In other words, stop being so mean to yourself. Many people get stuck in a loop of negative self-talk, replaying their failures like a bad highlight reel. But here’s the trick that has worked like a charm for me. The moment you catch yourself spiraling, ask, “What would I rather be thinking right now? That one powerful question can redirect your focus and stop negativity in its tracks. It’s simple, but incredibly impactful. Turn Annoyance into Laughter I shared a personal story with Deborah that I think a lot of people can relate to. My husband got into this habit of singing the same theme song from a TV show we were watching, over and over. I felt like my brain might actually explode. It was drivng me nuts. I’d roll my eyes and sigh dramatically, and I actually asked him to just stop. The next day, I had an epiphany: The problem wasn’t the song, it was my reaction to the song. Instead of fuming, I joined him! We sang the theme togther at the end of every episode and suddenly, something that annoyed me became something we did together and laughed about. Deborah pointed out that most of life’s irritations don’t actually matter. Like the next day it’s over and you’re on to something else. If you can learn to laugh at them, you win. Simple as that. Perfectionism Is the Enemy Ever spend an absurd amount of time tweaking an email, redoing your eyeliner, or rewriting a to-do list just to make it perfect. (Guilty.) I refer to this as  the “margin of diminishing returns” which is actually something I lerned in my college economics class. The point is there comes a time when the extra effort doesn’t actually improve the outcome—it just stresses you out. Instead of obsessing over perfection, focus on what actually moves the needle. Will it ruin your day if you don’t rewrite that sentence five times? Probably not. Will it ruin your day if your eyeliner is a tiny bit uneven? Only if you let it. Perfectionism is a trap, and the sooner you escape it, the happier you’ll be. Stop Anger in Its Tracks Let’s talk about anger. We all experience it, but how we handle it makes all the difference. Deborah swears by a simple but effective technique: Breathing. Not just any breathing, though. She recommends a conscious breath where you deeply inhale, hold for a moment, and then slowly exhale while imagining releasing all that frustration. Maybe you breathe in to the count of four, hold for four and releae for the ount of six. Why does this work? Because breathing physically shifts your nervous system. It moves you from a fight-or-flight state to a place of calm control. So, next time someone cuts you off in traffic or your internet crashes mid-Zoom call, take a breath before you react. It might just save your sanity. Daily Rituals for Happiness One of the best ways to prevent bad days from spiraling is to have a solid set of mood-boosting rituals. Deborah shared some of her favorites: The Gratitude Jar: Write down one good thing each day and toss it in a jar. On tough days, pull one out and remind yourself that life isn’t all bad. Dance Therapy: Put on your favorite song and dance like an absolute maniac. It’s nearly impossible to stay in a bad mood when you’re flailing around like a happy lunatic. The 30-Second Smile Trick: Smile for 30 seconds, even if you don’t feel like it. Your brain doesn’t know the difference between a real and fake smile—it just starts releasing feel-good chemicals anyway. Creativity Breaks: Doodle, paint, or write silly poetry. Engaging in creative activities can reset your brain and boost your mood. Happiness Is in Your Hands At the end of the day, the biggest takeaway from my chat with Deborah is this – you have more control over your happiness than you might think. Yes, life can be messy and people can be annoying. Yes, bad days happen. But you always have a choice in how you react. What small shift can you make today? Maybe you can… Laugh at an annoyance instead of stressing over it? Replace a negative thought with a more constructive positive one? Take a deep breath before reacting? It’s all about tiny, intentional changes that stack up over time. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself having fewer days that suck—and way more that actually feel pretty darn good. Now go forth and make today a little happier. You’ve got this!

Magic isn’t about pulling a rabbit out of hat. Real magic is about directing energy with emotion. It’s about living consciously and weaving intention into the fabric of your daily life. Amplifying your presence with love, light, and a touch of mystery. Infuse Magic into Your Life Every morning, you make a choice: stumble through the day on autopilot or step into it with intention. Energy magic begins with awareness. Start with your morning cuppa. Whether it’s coffee, tea, or lemon water, don’t just chug it while doom-scrolling. Instead, pause. Hold your mug, close your eyes, and imagine warmth radiating through you, filling every cell with vitality. Stir love and energy into it. Visualize it awakening not just your body but your spirit. Whisper a word of gratitude, even if it’s just, “Let’s make today magical.” Before stepping out the door, take a second. Picture the path ahead of you shimmering with light, clearing obstacles before you even reach them. Imagine the air around you charged with possibility. Walk into the world knowing you’re aligned with something greater than the mundane rush to work. Energy Is Expansive—Direct It Wisely You don’t have to be a mystic to feel energy. Ever walked into a room and immediately sensed tension? Or met someone whose presence instantly lifted your mood? That’s energy magic at play. And guess what? You’re broadcasting yours all the time. So, why not do it with purpose? Send out silent blessings as you move through your day. Picture the people around you surrounded by golden light. Even that grumpy barista or the person who just cut you off in traffic. Imagine sending them a spark of peace. It’s not for them, but for you. Holding resentment weighs you down, letting love flow keeps you light and free. At work? Imagine your workspace infused with harmony. See yourself radiating clarity and confidence. If a tough conversation looms ahead, picture it bathed in understanding before it even happens. Energy precedes action, so set the tone before you even speak. Transform the Ordinary into the Extraordinary Cooking? Don’t just go through the motions. Stir magic into your food. Imagine the meal nourishing more than just bodies—see it feeding souls, strengthening bonds, and bringing joy. Light a candle while you cook, play music that makes you feel alive, and infuse every movement with intention. Cleaning? Instead of treating it like a chore, make it an energetic reset. Picture negativity being wiped away as you dust and scrub. Open windows, let fresh air in, and envision stale energy leaving with it. Smudging with sage or spraying a mist of essential oils can amplify the shift. Even the simplest acts—tying your shoes, brushing your hair, taking a deep breath—can become sacred when done with awareness. The secret? Being present. Your Thoughts Create Reality Manifestation isn’t just a buzzword. It’s the art of aligning thought, feeling, and action. What you focus on grows, so be mindful of what you mentally rehearse. If you’re fixated on what’s going wrong, you’re energetically reinforcing it. Instead, shift and ask yourself, “What’s one thing going right?” Let that anchor you. Build on it. Visualize your dreams as if they’re already unfolding. Feel the excitement, the relief, the joy. The Universe responds to emotion more than words. That’s how energy magic works. It’s not just about saying, “I want abundance,” but feeling abundant before it even arrives. Act as if you’re already aligned with the life you want, and watch how reality starts to catch up. Make Magic a Daily Ritual Magic isn’t a one-time event; it’s a lifestyle. It’s in the small, consistent actions that shift your energy and shape your reality. Discover 30 Juicy Bits of Daily Magic Speak with intention—Words carry power, so choose them wisely. Move with purpose—Walk, dance, stretch, let your body express your energy. Breathe with awareness—Inhale light, exhale doubt. Surround yourself with beauty—Treat yourself to flowers, candles, or art because what you see affects how you feel. Celebrate the small wins—Gratitude amplifies magic! You Are the Magic At the end of the day, energy magic isn’t something outside of you. It’s not reserved for the gifted, the chosen, or the enlightened. It’s within you, waiting to be activated. So go ahead—infuse magic into your coffee, your commute, your conversations. Send light ahead of you. Bless the spaces you enter. Watch how life shifts when you show up as an active creator rather than a passive participant. Because magic isn’t just real—it’s who you are.

Mindblowing Truth About Falling in Love When I started my journey to find love, I began with the idea that I had love energy within me, but I figured it was stagnant. That’s why my objective was to get my love energy moving again! How did I do that? I wrote a bunch of little songs or chants to open my heart, believe in love, let go of past loves, and attract the one for me. These chants not only worked for me, but they have worked for my dating coaching clients as well. And as my Valentine’s Day gift to you, you can listen or download to all seven chants for FREE! I learned something mind-blowing from acupuncturist Michael Hunter: Falling in love isn’t about finding someone—it’s about falling into the love that already exists within you. The bottom line is that love is a state of being. YOU ARE LOVE. The other person is the spark that ignites the fire of love that already resides within you. You are not really in love with them but in love with love – the energy of love. This is how you remember that you are made of love! So, when you love yourself, take care of yourself, honor yourself, maintain healthy boundaries, then you are more at peace. This is inner peace which is at the very center of world peace. Which means when you love yourself, you actually give world peace a chance to blossom. Awesome advice about conscious dating in this podcast. Love Ripples Out This is so incredibly powerful that it causes a chain reaction. This love energy begins to ripple out to everyone around you. And as that catches on, it ripples out around them – and so on, and so on. When you embrace this truth, love stops feeling like something external to chase and becomes something you naturally radiate. As you radiate love from within, your energy field turns into an attraction beacon, drawing love to you. Love attracts love because self-love makes you outrageously magnetic! Want to attract love? Shift your energy! Love yourself, love your life, and you’ll become a magnet for the right partner who is the spark that ignites your love even more. How to Celebrate Love – Single or Not! 1. Throw a Galentine’s Day Party Amy Poehler’s Parks and Rec character made this a thing back in 2010, and it’s brilliant! Gather your besties, eat, laugh, and toast to love of your friendships.

Buy Yourself Flowers & Chocolate Why wait for someone else to do it? Go get what you want! 4. Send Love Notes Text your favorite women (or men) and tell them why they matter. Instant mood booster!

In this episode, I’m talking about the Planetary Alignment 2025 with seven planets showing up in the night sky and all the challenges you face as a result! The Planetary Parade This big celestial event started on January 25, 2025 and is a rare cosmic spectacle—featuring Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all in the sky at the same time. The planets aren’t actually in a perfect line as some have said, but they are all in one area of the night sky to be viewed simultaneously! This event is also called a “Planetary Parade.” How fun is that! It’s a big deal and this will go on until February 28th. If you’re the sensitive type who feels the energetic shifts of celestial events, this one may pack a punch. But what does it mean spiritually? And more importantly, how can you make the most of it? The Spiritual Significance Whenever planets align, there’s a collective energy shift. Imagine these celestial bodies as tuning forks, all vibrating in harmony for a brief moment. This particular planetary alignment 2025 is thought to bring heightened awareness, deep transformation, and a call to realign with your soul’s path. One way to look at this is to consider the opportunities that are present for you. It’s like doors are opening on the divine soul blueprint of your life and you get to choose and cross the threshold. Now you might be wondering – “Ronnie, if you don’t like astrology, why are you talking about planetary influences?” Such a good question! Let me clarify. I don’t like checking out my own personal astrology because I find it limiting. I’m a little rebel and don’t want to be told what’s going to happen or not happen for me. But something big like planetary influences affect us all. I am very interested in that because then I can understand what is happening and how I might respond or counteract something. I hope that explains my position. Energy of Each Planet Each of these planets carries its own energetic signature: Venus brings love and relationships into focus Mars ignites passion and drive (maybe a little war?) Jupiter expands possibilities and brings joy Saturn lays the foundation for long-term success Uranus shakes things up with unexpected changes Neptune dissolves illusions while deepening intuition When they all synchronize, it’s like the Universe flipping a switch—bringing clarity, awakening, and perhaps a nudge (or a shove) in the direction of your highest good. Could also be a kick in the pants because I just got one. How to Harness the Cosmic Energy The planetary alignment 2025 isn’t just a pretty sight—it’s an invitation to jump in and leverage what’s happening. How can you make the most of what is going on in the cosmos? Here are some ways you can work with the energy to create real shifts in your life: 1. Set Clear Intentions This is a potent time for setting intentions that align with your deepest desires. Think of it as placing an order with the Universe—specific, clear, and infused with energy. Write them down, say them out loud, or even create a small ritual around them. 2. Meditate & Tune In Experts say the cosmic energy is heightened, which to me says the vibration or frequency is higher. What does that mean? This energy also heightens your intuition which you may find is sharper than usual. Take time to sit in stillness, journal, or engage in visualization exercises. You might receive insights about the next steps in your life, or simply feel a deeper connection to yourself. When you put in thought, time, and energy on your intention, you are creating a beacon and sending it out into the cosmos. Being specific is very important. And you can always wrap up swith words like “This or something better”. When you finish with this kind of sentiment, you are leaving room for the Universe which actually knows better than you what’s for your highest good. 3. Embrace Transformation With Uranus in the mix, don’t be surprised when unexpected shifts start happening. If something in your life is crumbling or changing rapidly, trust that it’s making space for something better. Alignments like this tend to shake loose anything that’s no longer serving you. I know that’s not easy and I’m feeling this myself big time. My relationships are shifting and some people are falling away. 4. Use Tools to Amplify the Energy There are many tools ou can use to amplify your energy. Crystals are a classic tool. You might choose amethyst (intuition), citrine (self-esteem and confidence), and black tourmaline (protection and absorption of negative energy) can help you stay grounded and direct your energy. Sound healing is a smart choice for helping you to release what no longer serves you and heal as well. Card readings or working with the runes or I ching can give you a bit of extra insight and guidance. Breathwork and tapping EFT are other wonderful healing tools that will allow you to release stuck emotions from your body. Once you let go, your frequency has the ability to rise even higher. The higher your vibe, the more magnetic you are, more in the flow and things can manifest more easily. This is how you can spend more time in the flow and allow everything to fall into place during this planetary alignment 2025. 5. Connect with Like-Minded Souls Group energy is amazingly powerful. Being with others doing spiritual work, meditating, or using your intuition, amplifies everyone’s energy. It intensifies what’s there, unifies and magnifies. Whether it’s a small gathering in person, an online circle, or even a one-on-one conversation with a friend who “gets it,” sharing your experiences and intentions during this time will likely be incredibly powerful. This is exactly what will transpire in my program the Magic Hour. There is no better way to grow faster and speed up your abilities than with the amplification of group energy. Plus, you get such a feeling of support and community. When you grow and try new things within a group setting, it completely enhances your experience and brings a sense of fun, companionship, and joy. That’s a big part of what my clients love about the Magic Hour. Planetary Alignment 2025 The planetary alignment has created windows of heightened awareness and energetic shifts, but it’s up to you to step up and take advantage of them. This planetary alignment 2025 is an open door to realigning with your purpose in case you’ve gotten off track. It’s a chance to release what’s outdated and what no longer serves you, so you can move on. It’s time to correct the course of the boat you’ve been sailing, and head into a more authentic version of yourself. Take a moment right now to think about what’s calling to you? What changes have been nudging at you? What have your guides been saying or your dreams been communicating? This is the time to move forward. Consider this planetary alignment as a universal green light—it’s time to sail beyond where you have gone before. New adventures are waiting. Will you take one? I sure hope so! Update on My Spiritual Journey Now, I want to share a little about what’s been happening for me at this time. I can’t say it’s been easy. Last Friday I really fell into a hole of sorts, wondering, “What am I doing?” Things aren’t making sense. The message I’m getting is to let go but exactly how do I do that? How do I let go but keep going? Here’s how my spiritual adventure began My friend Krista told me I needed to go outside and be in nature. It was cold out and rain was threatening. But I put on my boots and walked to the back yard. Our property borders on some open space and I went all the way back to where the wildness begins. Standing there for a while, I took in the view of tall grasses, golden and dry, waving in the strong breeze. I saw a couple of birds and heard the rustling of squirrels clambering up a tree. And I spoke to the Universe and aired my concerns. This is how I’m working with the planetary alignment 2025. Next, I thought I’d try the divination method that Ashley Brothers taught in least week’s episode. Pose your specific question and ask to see signs. Divination in My Backyard The first sign I saw was a stalk of milkweed. It looked weathered and old, and the pods hung open at the top, mostly empty. And yet a couple still had a few seeds clinging to those pods. The thought came to me, well those seeds could still fall to the ground and pop up this spring. That possibility does exist. Then, I walked over to the garden where I noticed one of the 4-foot-tall stakes that holds up the wire fence was no longer attached. It was leaning and no longer supporting the fence. That needs fixing for sure! So, the metal stake was disconnected, not being used, not engaged, not doing its job. I moved on to notice a silver corner bracket on a bench just sitting there. The bracket was in good shape, but it wasn’t doing anything. Just sitting there for an unknown reason. Again, it wasn’t engaged, it wasn’t being useful, it wasn’t supporting anything or connected to anything. Same thing as the metal fence stake. Interesting, right? The last item is a copper metal sculpture – like an oversized pinwheel for the flower garden. But it was not standing up straight – instead, it was lying on the ground, not being used. Not being decorative, not doing what it was meant to do – be pretty and spin in the wind. Okay, that’s three metal items and one organic. I went back in the house and decided to look up the element metal in Chinese Medicine to see what that is about. Metal Element in Chinese Medicine Metal is structure, boundaries, discernment of what to keep and what to let go of. Interesting! Metal is about lungs and large intestines  which relates to grief, sadness, self-worth, negative emotions. On the positive side it’s about clarity, decisiveness, focus and integrity. When I think of metal what comes to mind is hard, cold, rigid, unyielding, and strong. Adding everything up what stood out most was this idea of letting go and being resilient. To keep going and keep standing. Find the support I need. There’s a lot more in the podcast including picking a card and a message from my higer self, but this post is getting too long.

Discover divination methods and how to tap into the subconscious mind, higher self, and spirit. In this Breathe Love &Magic episode, I had the pleasure of with Ashley Brothers all about using intuition and second sight. What Is Divination? Divination has been around since ancient times, with people accessing their second sight around the globe through a variety of divination methods. Ashley explained that traditional methods like reading tea leaves or using crystal balls are more than just fortune telling. They are ways of connecting perspectives through different objects which hold significant meaning. The exciting thing is that she took us through a process that featured the query, “Is he the right guy for me? How timely with Valentine’s Day just around the corner! If you’ve been wondering this same thing, you’ve got to hear this podcast! In her work, Ashley relies on the objects she notices after posing a specific question. She emphasized that true divination goes beyond accepting just the obvious interpretation of an object. Instead, it involves understanding the object deeply across various levels of perception. Whether it’s a stone, a tarot card, or even a broken leaf, the essence of divination lies more in the interpretation through your senses and emotions. Four States of Perception We talked at length about the four states of perception. These are the physical-literal, mental-emotional, metaphorical-symbolic, and energetic. When examining an object that has caught your attention, start with the physical features like texture or color. Then notice emotions or thoughts that arise as you focus on it. Afterward, you explore the symbolic meaning and what the object represents metaphorically. Finally, assess the energetic feel—does it seem light or heavy, constricted or expansive? Through this exploration, you can gain a deeper and more accurate understanding of what your intuition is trying to communicate. Notice Attraction & Repulsion An intriguing point Ashley made was paying attention to what attracts and repulses you when working with divination. She explained that attractions might indicate familiar patterns, sometimes leading back to old habits. On the other hand, things that repulse you could either be warnings or fears that need to be faced. This awareness encourages a balanced and insightful journey into your own intuitive fields. Being honest about these feelings allows you to navigate more authentically through divination methods. Guiding Your Intuition Ashley explained that divination is a personal journey into your subconscious mind. Whether you’re using cards or other divination tools, she advises grounding yourself to clear the emotional noise. This way, your intuition can guide you more accurately. One handy tip she shared involves muscle testing which keeps you from false information. Engaging with your heart’s truth opens a clearer channel for intuitive messages. Shamanic Journey I shared an experience of a shamanic journey that delivered amazing and deeply meaningful visions including a jaguar cutting me to ribbons and putting me back together. However, when I tried this a second time months later, nothing came to me at all, so I asked Ashley about this. She said that sometimes the tools and techniques that work the first time may yield nothing the next time. This doesn’t necessarily reflect failure but rather shows how anticipation and expectation can block your intuitive flow. Approaching each journey without preconceived outcomes opens up the possibility for new insights and revelations. Listen to this episode about generational shamans. Getting Started with Divination If you are new to divination methods, Ashley recommends starting with different types of tools like runes, tarot, or I Ching. Experiment with different decks if cards are your choice, as some might resonate with you more deeply. Another step to take that can move you forward is to find a teacher, locally or online. Working with someone experienced offers invaluable insights and personal growth opportunities. You benefit from the professional’s knowledge, energy, and encouragement. The key to solid divination that helps you in life is to explore and find what aligns authentically with your inner wisdom. Find out what it’s like to grow up with shamans. Ouija Boards and Channeling While there are many wondrous tools and divination methods, both Ashley cautions against the Ouija board. The reason is this method often attracts lower level energies. It’s essential to ensure who you’re channeling or seeking advice from is from a source truly aligned with your highest good. For example, I’ve had enough experiences to know the necessity for inviting only whole and healed ancestors into your sacred space. Spirits on the astralplane will not always have your highest good in mind. You want to have a safe and beneficial divination experience. Divination is a Journey Ashley left us with an inspiring note—each divination journey is unique, just as you are. Embrace the variety and abundance of resources available and cherish the personal discoveries that unfold. Whether you prefer cards, crystals, or other tools, remember that the journey enriches how you understand yourself, drawing you inward to your genuine path.
