27 Inspiring Law of Attraction Quotes To Help You Manifest
Whether you have been practicing law of attraction for a long time or are a newbie, you'll enjoy these law of attraction quotes.
I made a list of some of my favorite and inspiring law of attraction quotes that you can reference to invite some manifesting magic.
Feel free to post to your Instagram, Facebook, & Pinterest to share the love.
Law of Attraction is Radical Action
Ralph Smart
You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestation of your own blessings.
Elizabeth Gilbert
An educated man is not, necessarily, one who has an abundance of general or specialized knowledge. An educated man is one who has so developed the faculties of his mind that he may acquire anything he wants, or its equivalent, without violating the rights of others.
Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich
Change your thought, and change your destiny
Joseph Murphy
You can have many great ideas in your head, but what makes the difference is the action. Without action upon an idea, there will be no manifestation, no results, and no reward.

You are actually pre-paving your future experiences constantly. You are continually projecting your expectations into your future experiences.
Abraham Hicks
Man moves in a world that is nothing more or less than his consciousness objectified.
Neville Goddard
What you feel about another person, what you think or say about another person, what you do to another person – you do to you. Give judgment and criticism and you give it to yourself. Give love and appreciation to another person or anything, and you give it to yourself.
Rhonda Byrne
When you redirect your focus off what you’re going to “get” and onto how you want to feel, the Universe can get involved in the co-creation.
Gabrielle Bernstein
A man can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up his thoughts.
James Allen
The moment you say it the skies will open for you and the non- physical energies begin instantly to orchestrate the manifestation of your desire.
Abraham Hicks
The universe sends you a message when you are not in resistance to receiving the message.
Ralph Smart
And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
Thoughts become things. If you see it in your mind, you will hold it in your hand.
Bob Proctor
Be grateful for what you have now. As you begin to think about all the things in your life you are grateful for, you will be amazed at the never-ending thoughts that come back to you of more things to be grateful for. You have to make a start, and then the law of attraction will receive those grateful thoughts and give you more just like them.
Rhonda Byrne, The Secret
See yourself living in abundance and you will attract it. It always works, it works every time with every person.
Bob Proctor
Whatever you hold in your mind on a consistent basis is exactly what you will experience in your life.
Tony Robbins
The mind has a definite way of clothing one's thoughts inappropriate physical equivalents. Think in terms of poverty and you will live in poverty. Think in terms of opulence and you will attract opulence. Through the eternal law of harmonious attraction, one's thoughts always clothe themselves in material things appropriate unto their nature.
Napoleon Hill
You are the one who calls the law of attraction into action, and you do it through your thoughts.
Rhonda Byrne, The Secret
WHEN WE SURRENDER OUR WILL TO THE POWER OF THE UNIVERSE, WE RECEIVE MIRACLES.
Gabrielle Bernstein, The Universe Has Your Back
From a mind filled with infinite love comes the power to create infinite possibilities. We have the power to think in ways that reflect and attract all the love in the world. Such thinking is called enlightenment. Enlightenment is not a process we work toward, but a choice available to us in any instant.
Marianne Williamson
Remember that your dominating thoughts attract, through a definite law of nature, by the shortest and most convenient route, their physical counterpart. Be careful what your thoughts dwell upon.
Napoleon Hill, Outwitting the Devil
There is a space between man's imagination and man's attainment that may only be traversed by his longing.
Kahlil Gibran
It’s the age-old concept of like attracts like, or the law of attraction. You get back what you put out, so you might as well think positively, focus on visualizing what you want instead of getting distracted by what you don’t want, and send the universe your good intentions so that it can send them right back.
Sophia Amoruso
Our job is not to figure out the how. The how will show up out of the commitment and belief in the what.
Jack Canfield
Abundance isn’t something we acquire, its something we tune into.
Wayne Dyer
You, by your conscious assumptions, determine the nature of the world in which you live.

Create A Digital Vision Board For Your Phone or Computer
Making a Digital Vision Board Is Extremely Powerful.
They are a great way to keep your goals in your face each day.
Even better are digital vision boards that you can save as wallpapers, screensavers, and your phone.
I'll share with you a video tutorial of how I currently create vision board wallpaper for my cell phone which had previously been such a pain.
You can also read below for a step by step tutorial as well.
WHERE ATTENTION GOES, ENERGY FLOWS
WHY ARE DIGITAL VISION BOARDS IMPORTANT
Thoughts are things.
Our subconscious mind likes to see imagery to cement your goals firmly in your mind and move you towards them.
If you see your goals on a constant basis it will continue to provide clarity for what you are manifesting.
Visualization is one of the strongest ways to manifest your desires.
With a vision board, you have a tool in front of you to help you visualize more powerfully.
A digital vision board is easy and more accessible especially if it is your computer and cell phone background.
Video #1
Video #2
Video #3
Video #4
Step 1
CREATE A LIST OF YOUR GOALS
Write down in a journal, notebook, or in a google doc that you want to achieve or manifest.
You can choose goals for the immediate future, 6 months, 1 year, or 5-10 years.
It's up to how you want to configure your vision board and how many vision boards you want to have.
I have one board with a mix of goals ranging from the immediate future up to 3 years.
Every couple of months I update the board.
Step 2
DOWNLOAD PICTURES
You can save any image from the internet (as long as it is for personal use).
There are many different ways to find pictures for your vision board.
You google your goal and save a related image.
My favorite is to search Pinterest and save your image.
You can simply start a Pinterest Vision Board - make it secret if you want to keep it personal to you.
Create a board and save pins and images to that board and look at it frequently.
I have a Pinterest Board filled with pins and from there I take pictures and download them to put them on a digital vision board from computer and cell phone backgrounds.
For one Vision Board, you will probably want to have 6-12 images.
Step 3
CREATE YOUR TEMPLATE IN CANVA
Choose Desktop Wallpaper or custom dimensions of 1920 x 1080.
Upload your pictures from your computer. You can simply drag and drop into the upload area of Canva.
You can choose elements > grids to find a template that works for you and fits the picture dimensions that you like.
You can drag your pictures and resize to your liking without the pre-made template.
Download the completed VisionBoard wallpaper and set as your computer background.
Sign up to receive instant access
Grab this free training immediately along with a Free Fear & Stress Relief hypnosis recording.
Thanks for signing up! Please check your email for further instructions.
Step 4
CREATE FOR MOBILE
Your cell phone will likely display your vision board wonky since it is a large horizontal image.
You can create another vision board with proper cell phone dimensions so it fits beautifully on your screen.
I create two separate vision boards for my locked screen and home screen on my iPhone. This holds my 10 pictures.
Create a Canva custom dimension design at 1080 x 1920 (the exact opposite of what we just did).
This creates a nice vertical image. You can google the screen dimensions of your cell phone to make sure your Canva size fits.
Here I use a blank canvas although if you can use the grids but I find them to cut off my pictures especially on my cell phone.
Resize to meet your desired arrangement. I choose a black background so that I can picture of different sizes and the space behind the pics show up it is black.
Download the Canva app on your phone.
Click on the file you want to save to your phone photos.
Hit the arrow Icon on the top right corner to save to your phone.
Save the image to your phone and set as your background.
If you chose to make two different vision board photo collages you can set one as your locked screen and one for your home screen.
CONCLUSION
There you have it! I hope you enjoy getting creative and making your vision board for your computer wallpaper and cell phone background.
It is so easy and such an impactful way to help you manifest your goals.

Manifest Your Soulmate: Secrets to Attracting Your Perfect Relationship
By age thirty, I thought I would have found my soulmate.
How about you? Have you been trying to manifest your soulmate on a conscious level?
Life has been somewhat different.
My name is Jasmine Rose and I am a single mother to two children- Luna, aged three years and River who is four months.
I had been searching for my soulmate for what felt like my entire life. I have always been a romantic.
My childhood was initially happy until my parents divorced when I was eight.
This caused a deep wound in my heart; my dad eventually moved on to another family where I was no longer welcome.
My mum found another husband and had a new baby on the way.
I didn’t fit in there either. My gran offered to raise me until times changed.
I left there on my eighteenth birthday.
My family rarely told each other they loved one another.
My Gran took care of me and gave me everything I needed on a material aspect, she reminded me daily I wasn’t good enough to win the love of my parents.
I spent much of my youth seeking love, attention and validation from my peers to no avail.
As soon as I was capable of living independently, I was out the door and seeking that love, jumping from one toxic relationship to another.
One day I thought I had finally made it.
I met someone that loved and understood me.
We had a baby and was engaged to be married.
After the birth of my daughter, things began to crumble.
He stayed out after work drinking, coming home late.
I later discovered he was interested and trying to become involved someone else.
I was heartbroken but I gathered up my strength and I said “enough”.
I was done with these relationships where I felt unworthy and used.
I wanted to know why every relationship I walked into ended in disaster.
Normally I would have turned a blind eye and swept it under the carpet but I had a little girl who was watching and looking up to me.
I had to be a role model for her and show her what real love is.
I had to be strong and show her that if someone doesn’t treat you with respect you do not put up with it.
The recurring factor in all my relationships was my inability to truly love and appreciate myself.
It was at this time I reached out to a transformational love coach who helped women like me learn to love themselves.
I dived right in and allowed myself to be coached.
Within a few months, my life and my perception of myself had dramatically changed.
I started believing in myself. I started my spiritual based business- Moonchild Mother.
However, I still wasn’t entirely satisfied or happy on my own.
Part of me was still seeking love and I decided to go ahead and start manifesting another relationship.
I started looking at online dating even though my gut instinct told me not to.
Pretty soon I was dating again. I met a man who seemed perfect but I kept him at arm’s length for a while.
Clearly, I should have listened to my intuition.
When we met we hit it off pretty quickly and I chastised myself for holding myself back.
I had every intention to move slowly but things moved quickly.
I was due to start college after the summer but a month into the relationship I discovered I was pregnant.
Pretty soon the man who I thought was perfect was very different to what he had seemed.
He hated all my friends and gave me the silent treatment whenever I saw them.
He made them feel so uncomfortable when they came around that they stopped visiting.
Soon he was criticizing my weight, my appearance and told me our child would be born deformed, malnourished, obese or dead.
I began to worry that I would not carry full term as the stress and the daily fighting began to take its toll.
My healthcare providers started expressing concerns that I was in a dangerous relationship.
If I did not leave now the abuse would likely get worse.
I went to my local women’s shelter and made plans for my escape.
I relocated and focused on continuing the rest of my pregnancy alone with my daughter.
Finally, I understood that I hadn’t been ready for a relationship to begin with. I started to make peace with myself and my current situation.
This baby had been gifted to me for a special reason- one which would facilitate me in enormous emotional growth and healing.
For the first time in my life, I wasn’t looking for someone to come into my life,
I was solely focused on being the strong, independent woman I had always wanted to be.
I began to study self-development, relationships, the roles we play in them.
I became a student of Bob Proctor and the Law of Attraction.
I devoted my time to transforming and reshaping my mind.
What I share with you now, is an effective way not just to manifest a soulmate but to walk your own path as your own soulmate and feel love and happiness from within.
Be Your Own Soulmate
Becoming your own soulmate is the key to manifesting the love into your life.
It means more than practicing a few self-love techniques and throwing in a bit of self-care at the end of a busy schedule.
Yes, you need to do that kind of work, but essentially this runs deeper.
You have to start putting yourself and your life under the microscope.
Are the relationships in your life fulfilling?
Is the relationship with your parents a struggle?
Do you feel stressed out or worn out after seeing a particular friend?
How’s your job looking?
Do you like your boss?
How do you feel when you spend time alone with yourself?
Anything that is not making your heart sing with joy needs to be looked at closer.
You see everything in our life right now is a state of where our thoughts are.
If your familiar with law of attraction you’ll understand that our thoughts create our feelings which in turn inspire our actions which give us our current results.
The job you are unhappy in, the money in the bank, the relationships you have are all governed by your internal environment.
Once we start to look inwards in a loving yet assertive manner, take responsibility for our current situation we can begin to step up to walk beside ourselves as our own best friend and soulmate.
Never again will we blame anyone for our situation or the environment outside of ourselves.
Once we take a role of our part, our circumstances, our thoughts and our feelings we truly liberate ourselves.
Make a promise to yourself now that from here on in, it’s all about you.
You Attract What You Are
Just as our thoughts create our own reality; when it comes to relationships we don't always attract what we want but we attract what we are.
This is where our current paradigms or belief systems around ourselves come to play.
The best way to examine this is again looking at your current relationships and your past relationships.
Is there a recurring pattern or theme?
Are you always being cheated on?
Are you faced with a lack of commitment?
Are you often treated poorly?
Are you a magnet for narcissists, physical, emotional and sexual abuse?
Has this been a theme also in your childhood?
If you can resonate with this know that it is not your fault.
You can't control the pain and trauma that was inflicted on you.
However, when this happens to us and if we do not do the healing around us we accept the reality we are experiencing to be our truth.
We carry that pain, sadness and trauma in our hearts and we begin to vibrate on a level of pain.
One of the biggest paradigms I have seen in others and in myself is the ongoing theme “I'm not enough" and low and behold we attract relationships based on that story we unconsciously tell ourselves.
We need to break these paradigms and replacing them with new ones.
There are only two ways to change the beliefs in the subconscious mind- intense pain/ trauma or repetition.
You need to flood your unconscious mind with love and positivity.
One of the ways I recommend that you do this is to write a list of what you would want to give love to?
What bits of your body don't you like?
What behaviors don't you like?
Make a list and rephrase them with “I love and appreciate my belly, I am so grateful that my belly held my two beautiful children” “I am enough”.
Write them out and record them. Listen to them daily and over-night while you sleep.
The sound of your own voice saying these are so powerful.
You may not believe it right now but give it a few weeks to allow it to sink in and you will feel yourself changing and you will start to grow to truly love yourself.
Self Love
Now it is time to start loving yourself completely.
Treat yourself the way you would a precious child.
One of the biggest things I struggled with over the years was that I didn't really know what that looked like other than the occasional bubble bath with a bath bomb.
A lot of the time I thought it was buying myself stuff to feel better.
I now know it’s not the way although do reward yourself from time to time if you enjoy something that makes you feel good like a special dress, a haircut, a manicure, an activity you enjoy like a gym pass.
Self-love is something we need to incorporate into our daily routines.
Think back to when you were a child.
Did you have a family member that truly nurtured you, made you feel safe and loved?
In essence, we need to adapt to a motherly role towards ourselves.
What’s your morning routine like?
Are you priming yourself for love and success?
First thing in the morning I get up and I start to play my affirmations and my goals.
I pop on an audiobook- usually The Power by Rhonda Byrne
or something by Abraham Hicks.
Maybe you have some music that just makes you come alive when you listen to or makes you feel good.
Get it on and get ready for an amazing day.
Start to imagine how good your day is going to be.
Imagine unexpected surprises that lift you up.
Be grateful for all you have by saying thank-you for everything you see around you.
Take a little bit extra time over your appearance, have a healthy, energizing breakfast and head out the door with joy in your heart even if you have to fake it till you make it.
You will begin to see the difference echoed back to you in your reality.
People will start to notice a change in you that they haven’t seen before and they will want to know what you are doing.
Make sure you have time in your schedule to have fun with friends and do the things that you really love.
In the evening- just like you have a morning routine, set up an evening routine to aid you in winding down for the evening.
Have a delicious meal.
Run yourself a bath with Epson salts and essential oils.
Wind down with your favorite book or movie and get to bed at a decent time so that you are rested for the day ahead.
Even if you find at the beginning of these exercises that you don’t feel great, as you play along with this you’ll gradually catch yourself being happy in the moment.
Rocketing into the high vibration of love.
I tell you it is a wonderful thing when this happens.
You feel the genuine excitement as you ease into the flow.
More and more wonderful things begin to you.
Your new vibe will begin to attract new people around you.
The old relationships that haven’t been working for you recently will either begin to heal or fall away from your life.
You see now how easy for your soulmate to find you now?
Set the vibe and attract your tribe.

It’s All About Those Boundaries Baby
Before we get clear about what you really want we need to clean up the energy in your life.
This ensures that you are not attracting the residue or unhealed aspects of your past life or relationships you must look at ensuring that you have had closure.
Unfinished business will attract more unfinished business.
Do you have an ex that still hangs on?
Do you have an ex you’re still sleeping with or a no strings attached situation?
Are there elements of a relationship that still has baggage?
Do you have children with your ex and are you on good terms?
Some of my exes I am still good friends with.
The relationship between my daughter’s dad and I has seen some of the biggest improvements.
We used to hold a lot of anger towards one another.
When I started to cut energetic cords with him and release my anger, it started to dissipate between us and our friendship grew over time.
I have a full detailed description on how to do this which you can read here: http://moonchildmother.com/index.php/2018/01/04/how-to-release-your-ex/
Work on your energetic boundaries every single day.
Where could you say No instead of saying yes?
Where do you need to take risks and say Yes instead of No?
Do you leave yourself with no time because you are always helping or giving to others?
Make rest and filling your own cup your top priority.
It’s fine to help others but tune in to see where your energy is best spent.
Helping others shouldn’t have you feeling like your exhausted and dragged down.
It should help you feel replenished.
What do you really want?
It’s time to get specific about how you want your relationship to look like and what kind of partner you want to attract.
You may not know what you want.
When you have had a lifetime of pain and disappointment, the idea of what you want may seem impossible.
You may not dare to dream.
If this is how you feel I would suggest following what I have said up until now until you feel ready and you have a clear idea.
Once you get into that high vibe, happy state, make your list of all the qualities you want your partner to have.
How do they make you feel?
What interests do they have?
Will they support you in your goals?
What does that support look like?
In what ways do they value you?
What kind of “memories” will you make?
Get daydreaming, get carried away.
What happens the first day you move in together?
What kind of dates do you have? When you have it clear in your mind, write it down.
Like you did with your affirmations, record it and listen to it every single day while seeing it in your mind’s eye.
Then I want you to forget about it almost.
Don’t get caught up in the how it will happen.
Just listen, visualize and know it is coming.
Be open to the hundreds of possibilities out there.
Do not go actively seeking and causing resistance- the universe generally takes the path of least resistance.
Go out and have some fun with your friends- who knows who you will be introduced to, take risks outside your comfort zone which encourage your own emotional growth.
Make the Space for Love to Come In
You are actively working on you. You are being your own soulmate.
You're changing the way you feel about yourself, reprogramming your mind for love.
You are incorporating love and care into your daily routine.
You are cleaning up the energy around you and healing from your past.
You have asked the universe to send your soulmate.
Now we need to create the space for them to come into your life. and we achieve this by creating the “vacuum” effect.
This is where you create space for the new to come in.
Have a clear out of your home and declutter from everything that you no longer need or that which no longer serves you and give thanks for it being in your life.
You can also do this with the relationships and friendships that are no longer serving you.
Go through every room in your house.
Donate items from previous relationships that hurt you to look at.
Clear out your wardrobe and keep only the clothes you have worn in the past six months and make you feel completely amazing when you wear them.
Ask yourself is there space for a new partner to enter your life?
Clear out or down-scale your closet, making space for your partner’s half.
Set the place at the table for an extra person at meal times.
Sleep on one side of the bed. Show the universe that there is space to be filled and he or she will come.
Start to spend the time visiting the places you would reserve only for a date.
Take yourself on a dinner date, a sight-seeing tour.
Pretend to be a tourist for the day and visit museums and see the wonders of your city and beyond.
Go for a picnic and pack some champagne and strawberries.
For now, you could be going alone but who knows who you may meet along the way.
I have given you the steps to manifest your soulmate.
I have seen this bring phenomenal results in the form of soulmates, love, inner peace, love of self and happiness.
You may manifest your soulmate or maybe you’ll be like me and choose to walk in harmony with yourself, being completely happy within yourself just a little while longer.
I look forward to hearing your results.

Reiki For Beginners : How to use Energy Healing
What is Reiki For Beginners?
Reiki is a Japanese healing modality that balances the mind, body, and spirit.
Reiki is a safe and natural form of energy healing.
Rei - Spiritually guided
Ki - Life Energy
Reiki is translated as life force energy that is present in all living things.
In humans, animals, plants. All things have energy.
If you do yoga you may be familiar with the word chakra, which translated from Sanskrit means wheel or disk.
The chakras are the energy centers that Reiki or life force energy passes through.
It is this energy that keeps up alive, vibrant and healthy.
When our energy centers are blocked or have imbalances it can be manifested in our emotional and physical bodies as illness or dis-ease.
For example, if your root or base chakra is imbalanced you may experience symptoms such as anger, frustration, fear of not having enough money or pain in your legs, feet and lower back.
I’ve written an extensive article about how to balance the base chakra over here.
Hands-On Healing
Reiki is a healing modality that supports removing those energetic blockages allowing Ki (life force energy) to move freely through those meridians.
Reiki is performed by an attuned practitioner who channels life force energy through his or her hands unto another.
Some Reiki practitioners will utilize various tools in their session such as crystals, essential oil and sound.
Reiki does not require you to take your clothes off like a massage.
It can be done by laying on a mat, table or even sitting in a chair.
Some practitioners will lay their hands on their clients very gently while others will allow their hands to hover slightly above the body.
Distance Healing
To some, it may sound odd but Reiki is not limited by time or space.
An attuned Reiki Practitioner at the second degree or Master level can send Reiki energy to anyone in the world at any time.
You don’t have to be in the same room with a Reiki practitioner to feel and benefit from the effects of Reiki.
Personally, I have given and received distance Reiki and it works just as well as being in the same space.
It’s also pretty convenient!
You can get a nice Reiki boost at the office, right before bedtime or before a big event and you don’t have to go anywhere.
Reiki Goes to Where It Is Needed
Reiki is an intelligent form of energy healing and it goes to where it is needed.
In other words, Reiki won’t always heal the symptoms because it is healing the source or root cause of the symptoms.
So for example, if someone is having a headache and your intention is to have a Reiki healing session for pain relief, that may not happen as quickly as you’d like because the energy is healing the source of that headache.
Which could be any number of things.

Reiki for Self-Care
Whether you want to become a Reiki practitioner or just receive Reiki, it’s a powerful and gentle modality to heal your body, mind, and soul.
As a practitioner of Reiki, I have a daily self-care practice that involves repeating the five principles of Reiki in meditation first thing in the morning.
These principles are:
Just for Today:
- I will not be angry
- I will not worry
- I will be grateful
- I will do my duties to the fullest
- I will be kind to others
Each principle is meant to help us heal and live our lives in the five areas of emotions, thoughts, gratitude, self-growth, and compassion.
Reiki has changed my life and the way I live.
As a busy working mom of two young children, I used to suffer from anxiety, fear and worry all the time.
It was crippling trying to juggle the ups and downs of life and then I found Reiki and life changed.
I got a few treatments, then started to develop a daily practice which eventually led me to become a Reiki Master and Self Care Life Coach.
Reiki is a great healing modality to include in a life coaching session.
At the beginning of a life coaching series, I offer my clients an optional 60-minute session to remove blockages in their chakras.
This helps them to set powerful and intentional goals that are aligned with their highest selves.
What can you expect from a Reiki Session?
Reiki is a wonderful healing modality that is safe, noninvasive and not religious.
Reiki is different for everyone but some persons report feeling heat, tingling or extreme relaxation.
When I do Reiki on myself I almost always fall asleep so I try to do it at night as a part of my nightly ritual.
Given that Reiki is removing blockages, a few days of a session some people will experience symptoms of a detox.
That is kinds what’s happening anyways. You’re removing all of those blockages and toxins from your energy centers.
Some people like to get Reiki to just relax and calm the mind.
Whether you already have a self-care practice or want to start one, incorporating Reiki is a wonderful way to give yourself some healing and self-love.

The Meaning Of Your Dreams: 7 Ways to Interpret Them
What Are The Meaning of Your Dreams?
Dreams are a weird and wonderful concept, aren't they!! Do you ever wonder if there is a meaning of your dreams?
Some people swear blind that they never dream....whereas some of us seem to take a trip to the movies every night in our dreams!!!
I love dreams and always have!
For as long as I can remember I've always had super vivid dreams.
The kind where it's like I'm watching a gripping boxset back to back all night.
I always look forward to waking up and remembering my dreams so that I can interpret their meaning.
Why Do We Dream?
There are many concepts around dreaming and I'm not going to get too much into the nitty gritty of it all!
I'm not a scientist LOL!
Dreams occur as a way for our brains to make sense of things that have happened in our life or are happening.
Things going on for us that we are mulling over and which we want to figure out.
Someone we've met who has had an impact on us.
A situation that is bothering us.
They are a way for the subconscious mind to problem solve and work things out.
The problem with our conscious mind is that it's too bloody loud!!
Always thinking. Always processing!
Sometimes, we really just need some downtime to give our conscious mind a break and let our subconscious mind take over a for a while.
That's what dreaming helps us with.
As we sleep our conscious mind switches off and takes a break so that our subconscious mind can step in for a while and work things out.
Dreams are also a way for Spirit to communicate with us.
To share guidance with us or visit us or help us through a problem.
For me, as someone who is highly intuitive, dreams are how I receive messages from Spirit as vivid dreaming is connected to clairvoyance.
As I said, I'm not a scientist but I know my own mind when it comes to dreams.
I've had years of interpreting them for myself and others; plus many a visitation in my dreams!
Why Does Spirit Communicate with Us in Our Dreams?
As I've already mentioned, our subconscious mind can't get a word in edgeways when our conscious mind is firing on all cylinders whilst we are awake!
This is the same for Spirit too and by Spirit, I refer to our Spirit Guides, Angels, Loved Ones, Ascended Masters, Archangels and our Higher Self.
Sometimes our conscious minds really stand in the way of us receiving guidance from Spirit during the day.
They make the most of our sleep time and use dreams to communicate with us!
Spirit communicate with us for all different reasons in our dreams.
Mainly it's to help give us guidance and answers to the problems we are focussing on.
Sometimes they like to visit too.
I love visitations and always wake up with a warm fuzzy feeling of unconditional love!
Remember when you wake up from a dream and think "WTF was that all about?!?!
What a WEIRD dream!!"....yep, I say this all the time too even though I'm used to interpreting them!!
They are so weird because dreams are full of metaphors and symbolism...it's how Spirit communicate with us via this language.
It's our conscious mind that overcomplicates everything.
It tries to look at the logical reasoning for that dream or that imagery which is why in order to interpret dreams you have to look at them without the logical reasoning of your conscious mind.
How to Interpret your Dreams - The Basics
As I've mentioned, I've been interpreting dreams for myself and others for as long as I can remember!!!
So I've learned A LOT about what they mean!! But that doesn't mean that it's hard for others to interpret their dreams.
The biggest piece of advice from me is to not overcomplicate the dream.
Take the logic out of it!
I'll break this up into sections so that the advice is easy to follow and you can use this to start taking more of an interest in your own dreams!
First and foremost though, if you really do want to learn more about your dreams, start keeping a dream journal!!
It doesn't have to be anything fancy....just an ordinary journal that you keep by the side of your bed and use it to write your dreams in when you wake up.
I've been keeping a journal for about 6 months now and have really started to notice patterns in my dreams and reoccurring messages which I find pretty cool!
IMAGERY
For me, imagery is THE biggest part of our dreams.
By imagery, I refer to all the visuals you see, the symbolism, the metaphorical imagery.
We don't need to overcomplicate this though and the way I like to use the imagery I receive is to think about the very basic meaning of that image.
Sounds simple, yes, but remember that we can overcomplicate things with our conscious mind!
What does that image mean to you?
How does it make you feel?
What do you think is the message?
Let's take a bike for example. Bikes are a mode of transport. They are how you get from A to B.
Bikes are also about balance, if you want to ride a bike then you have to keep it balanced unless you have stabilizers on it! See how easy that is to interpret?
So if you have a dream about being on a bike, make note of where you are going, if you stayed on the bike, if the journey was easy or hard.
Another example and one that comes up a lot for people are trains.
Trains are also about journeys. You take a train to go somewhere. They are very fast too and get you from A to B in a fast time!
So in relation to trains, what are your dreams telling you?
Are you always stood on the platform and missing the train?
This will mean that you aren't taking the opportunities in life that you are being given.
You are missing the boat so to speak. Or are you on the train and facing forwards and seeing where you are going?
This is a very clear message that you are on the right tracks so to speak and are going in the right direction!
Imagery also covers so much more too such as the weather. Raining is about the emotions as are all water dreams and the cleansing of emotions.
Sunny weather represents happy times and when it's windy be prepared for a rough time.
The time of day is also an important factor to notice.
Daytime is about seeing a situation clearly and new beginnings whereas nighttime is symbolic of the subconscious and of things coming to an end.
SITUATIONS
What were you doing in your dream? Were you swimming? Going for a walk? Eating ice cream? Reading a book?
Every situation has a meaningful representation and you have to look at what that dream situation is trying to tell you.
For example, swimming in a dream is about being immersed in your emotions and cleansing yourself whereas eating ice cream can represent needing to have more fun in your life.
NUMBERS
We've all heard of Angel numbers. Ways that Angels use to communicate with us due to the vibrational meaning attached to each number.
I see numbers often in my dreams and make sure to pay attention to them when I do see them so that I can look up their meaning.
Numbers are a very clear message from your Angels and can appear in all forms.....on a train or bus ticket, on a door or in a book in your dreams.
Make sure to write the number down and in what context you saw it and how that number's meaning relates to the overall meaning of your dream.
A great website that I like to use to learn more about the Angel numbers I see daily is Sacred Scribes by Joanne Walmsley and you can learn more about the vibrational meaning of the numbers here.
You can also look up every individual Angel number via this link too to learn more about what your Angels are trying to tell you!
WORDS
Spirit like to show us words in our dreams too.
These can be a little bit more self-explanatory than numbers - what is the word you are given?
Is it someone's name? A place? A word in a menu or a book or on a sign?
Think about what this word means to you and how it makes you feel.
Even if it doesn't make sense to you, still make a note of it as you'll find that it'll become more significant in the coming days, weeks or months.

PEOPLE
Other people tend to show up in dreams quite a lot.
They can be those you know in real life, those you know who are now in Spirit, complete strangers or even celebrities!
Even though you may dream of someone you know, for example, your mother or your daughter, dreams with people don't always relate directly to that person.
It can actually be a symbolism for what the essence of that person represents such as the mother figure being nurturing and able to bring life into this world.
Strangers can be popular characters in dreams too and these can represent the unknowns around us or perhaps its more about noticing what they are wearing in the dream, what they are saying or what they are doing.
Celebrities can appear in our dreams too and the best way to interpret celebrity dreams is to see them as a mirror of yourself.
You are idolizing this person (or not in some cases!) and so what you see in this celebrity is what you want more of in your life or who you want to become.
See celebrity dreams as mirror reflections of yourself!
My favorite people dreams though are when I have visitations from loved ones!!
Spirit like to come through in our dreams every now and then because it's easier to meet us on the astral plane (Dream Land!) than in the present time.
Sometimes they like to just come through and say hi.
Other times they have a message for us or need to give us a gentle push for something!
You'll know when you've had a visitation though because you'll FEEL it!
It's like you wake up with this warm fuzzy glow like the sort you have when you first fall in love. It's a wonderful feeling!
That's because Spirit represents unconditional love.
No matter what went on for you and them in this life they will ALWAYS love you in Spirit and that is no more so apparent than when you have a dream visitation from them!
JOURNALING
As I've already mentioned, if you really want to start getting to know the meaning of our dreams then keeping a dream journal will help!
I keep mine at the side of my bed and write down my dreams when I first wake up (not always...depends on my toddler!) but the best time to write them down is definitely the first thing when they are still fresh in your mind.
By writing your dreams down you'll start to notice a pattern over time of a recurring message or see transformations going on.
For example, in one dream you could be stood at the bottom of a hill looking up but over time you may find yourself at the top of the hill looking down which shows that you have taken the necessary steps in your life to move forwards and upwards.
Want to Know More?
I hope you've found this article interesting and that it can help you to start interpreting your own dreams!
I've been doing it for as long as I can remember so don't get disheartened if you aren't sure of them at first.
I do also offer Intuitive Dream Interpretations too via my own website and you can find out more information here.

Do not be afraid of western taboos #SkinToSkin contact between parent and child releases feel good and bonding hormones.
Giving Baba the most secure start to igniting the sparkle inside.
By Nature We Are Tribal!
It takes a village to raise a child. Family and friends have all waited to meet this new arrival.

You teach your baby that #LoveCreatesLove, enriching their lives.
Let your village hold your baby, help feed and care for your baby.
Let your baby feel secure in the arms of your village.
Mamas arms will always be their safe haven but let them feel the -- security you and your child already share with your tribe.

Live in the moment!
Enjoy the moment!
In the western world, too much pressure is put on you to detach from your precious gift.
How much of our babies time is spent in a container - cribs - prams - buggies - car seats - playpens - bouncy chairs.
Yes, each has its place but do not substitute your arm.
Do not detach from the gift the universe bestowed on you, that you grew and nurtured inside of you!
Hold baby every chance you get. Comfort baby every time you are needed to.
Carry the baby from the house to the car.
Have baby parent facing so you can maintain eye contact and regularly reassure with a stroke of the cheek or touch of the hand.
Use a sling, don’t leave baby in a container when they can be within the place they belong - your arms!
We only have eighteen summers at best before our fledglings take flight into the world.
#MindfulnessMama ensures you #NurtureThatSparkle by always being present and connected in the moment.
Intimate contact creates happier, healthier babies.
We cannot ignite a sparkle in our infant and not nurture it to grow and become a shining light.
Be the parent who always welcomes their child with open arms.
Be the parent who always kisses their child goodbye.
Never let your child feel excluded from your arms.
Build baby massage and baby yoga into your daily routine.
Dance with your daughters and sons.
Play round and round the garden or my little piggie over and over.
Take the photos but do not hide behind the camera - be the one running hand and hand into the sea.
Build those memories in a sea of touch, for you will always remember a small hand in yours but will they remember a kind, safe enveloping hand holding theirs.
For a babies brain to grow and develop the most important factor is the physical and mental bond that you share.
With the most powerful of all touch, we can #NurtureThatSparkle.

Hey Love!
Have you been considering starting a blog to help with your business? As an online marketer and clarity coach, I had been on the fence about if I should start a blog.
I am so happy that I started my blog. It has helped me get hundreds of opt-ins to my email list, earn affiliate income, and collaborate with other boss babes.
Starting a blog is actually easy. I’m not saying that maintaining and optimizing a blog is easy, but it is rewarding.
How you choose to use your blog is up to you.
You can have it a supplemental way to drive traffic to your website, another income stream through affiliates posts and ad traffic.
It can also just be a fun place for you to discuss your tops and promote your brand.
My blog is the center focus of my business so I put lots of work into it. The only thing I can say is an I WISH I STARTED SOONER!
I can only imagine if I would have started 10 even 5 years ago.
Most bloggers are making 5 and 6 figure incomes when they put their focus on monetizing their blog.
Getting starting is the easy part, what you choose to do after is up to you.
This Post Covers How To Set Up Your Blog on WordPress
You can use this tutorial even if you are setting up your website without blog functionality to start with.
Even if you just want a simple page explaining about your services.
In This Tutorial I Cover:
- Blog Idea List
- Blogging Platforms
- Blog & Domain Name
- Hosting Set Up
- Website Theme and Builder Options

Blog Idea List
You can start a blog about anything on the planet! Your blog can be a money generator or be a passion project.
It can also be a strategic tool to use in your business.
Blogging is powerful because you can put out content that will last forever.
If you are just using social media that content can disappear quickly.
If you start off with a blog post; you can then break it down and use it to help with all other content including Instagram captions, Facebook posts, and emails to your mailing list.
Speaking of mailing lists, you can use your blog to provide value and freebies to get people on your mailing list.
This obviously isn’t an exhaustive list.
Any business can have a blog which is basically just information on their industry and services.
Some of the top blog ideas are:
- Home Decor
- Health/Fitness
- Recipes/Diet
- Couponing/Saving Money
- Making Money
- Travel & Vacation
- Lifestyle
- Beauty/Makeup/Fashion
- Wedding & Event Planning
- Shopping
- Life and Business Coaching: oh hai this is me!
There is so much opportunity in this niche for blogging. More on this in the money making section.
As you can see it really is a tool that can be used with any niche.
The best part is is that you can get started today, even right now and be up and rolling in as little as a half hour.
You can blog as little or as much as you want.
If you are looking to monetize your blog then yes you will have to blog consistently each month, but it is FUN WORK!
BLOGGING PLATFORMS
There are a few options to choose from when it comes to blogging and website set up in general
WIX
BLOGGER
SQUARESPACE
WORDPRESS.COM
and
WORDPRESS.ORG (different than wordpress.com). This is what I use.
WHY WORDPRESS.ORG?
F-R-E-E-D-O-M
You have limitless options with wordpress.org and can tailor it to meet any of your needs including an online store, landing pages, and so much more.
Thousands of plugins mean you can add literally any customization to your website.
It is FREE.
To set up wordpress.org you are not required to pay any monthly fees. You can buy additional add-ons, but if the service is free.
It is EASY.
The reason why some of the other options such as Squarespace and WIX are so popular is because they offer drag and drop editors.
You too can use drag and drop builders to make it just as easy. I use Beaver Builder (more on that below).
There is a VAST NETWORK OF SUPPORT.
WordPress.org powers over 25% of the world’s websites and almost every system out there are seamlessly compatible with it.
In the many forums I am in, I have seen countless bloggers run into issues with the other blog services.
They have trouble when it comes to customization, SEO, and getting their website to work with Pinterest and other functionality.
WordPress.COM is different than WordPress.ORG.
WordPress.COM It is a limited platform that requires you to upgrade to their paid service based on how much data you use.
They also place ads on your site that you can’t monetize. You also can not use your plugins of choice.
Make sure you choose WordPress.ORG!
Blog and Domain Name
This is the fun part. Brainstorming the name of your blog.
I own quite a few domains including my name actual name www.sarakdaigle.com.
I choose my name for my business as I am branding my business as myself.
I may choose to use another domain for my blog that is a bit more creative, but for now, I am happy.
Whatever you choose make sure it is EASY.
Be creative but nothing hard to spell or with difficult words.
People need to be able to type in their browser quickly or be a name that they can recognize.
I buy my domains at Siteground because this is where I host all of my websites. (More on Hosting Below).
The cost for the year is about $15 which is pretty cheap!
You can go to www.namecheap.com as an alternative option.
Their domains are about $10.
The only issue is you will have to transfer your domain name to your hosting company which I have done.
I will buy a domain through Namecheap if I am just buying the domain to hold it like I did with my daughter's name.
Ummm she will definitely thank me for securing her name as her domain name in 15 years!
Web Hosting
You want a fast and reliable hosting service with great customer service. I have hosted all of my websites and blogs on Siteground.
They have been so great and offer free SSL certifications, hosting packages for one website or unlimited (what I have).
They also have great customer service.
Luckily I haven’t needed to contact them very often, but when I do I do via chat and get all my questions answered super easy.
Many bloggers recommend BlueHost. After doing research I read the Bluehost has issues with connectivity, speed, and site crashes so I opted for Siteground and have never had an issue.
With blogs, you are going to use A LOT of images.
Sitespeed was a major concern for me when I started my blog.
After doing some research I found Siteground to be the fastest.
You can check out one of the reviews I read here:
https://www.bitcatcha.com/research/fastest-web-hosting-services/
- Speed
- Customer Service
- Easy and Helpful Resources
- Highly Recommended
Full instructions on the domain name and set up via Siteground below.
Setting Up Your Hosting Through Siteground
You can visit www.siteground.com to get started.
CHOOSE YOUR PLAN
This is what I started with a few years when I only had one domain name. As you can see it is super cheap!
If you think there is a potential for an additional website you can get the Grow Big account.
This is what I am currently on & will be upgrading soon to the GoGeek plan as my traffic grows.
You can upgrade at any time if you think you will need a bigger package so feel free to choose The StartUp for now if you think that is all you will need.
Choose Domain
Make your domain is available and then click proceed.
Install WordPress
Siteground will direct you to a setup wizard that directs you through each step in installing wordpress for your website.
Siteground also has a ton of tutorial You can find that here if you get stuck or want a complete walk through : https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/getting-started/start-new-website/
The hands down easiest thing you can do is start a Siteground Chat and have the rep install WordPress for you.
Once they do this they will provide you with your WordPress Username and Password. IT IS SO EASY.
I highly recommend reviewing the tutorial as well as it shows you how to set up your email and SSL certificate so when people pull up your website it shows as secure.
There are also a ton of YouTube videos that through the install process as well so you can check them too.
Even though I have set up a few sites now with Siteground, my first time around I still think I only spent about 20 minutes on the hosting set up process
You will then proceed to the check out page.
You will have additional options at the bottom for Domain Privacy & SG Site Scanner.
You can add these at anytime. When I start a new blog I do not include either until my blog is published.
This just saves a bit of money when you just starting.
Your total cost is typically going to be $47.40 ($3.95/month x 12) for your hosting.
Plus the $15.95 for the domain purchase. NOT BAD HUH?
Website Theme and Builder Options
Themes are so fun to choose and provide you with the capability to design your blog. You can use a free WordPress theme or you can purchase some pretty cheap.
You can find themes on:
- www.creativemarket.com such as the Posie Theme
Powered by Creative Market
- Etsy
- ThemeForest
- Beaver Builder - WHAT I USE AND LOVEEEEE IT
I personally love the drag and drop themes and builders that require no code.
They work the same as building a website with WIX or Squarespace but with way more options.
I use Beaver Builder and I am obsessed.
They have pre-made templates for landing pages, contact pages, and blog options if you are getting started.
You can also customize your website to however, you want it without being locked into a certain style which can be the case with many other themes.
**DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A THEME & PAGE BUILDER
A Theme is basically the overall layout and style of your blog.
A Page Builder is a plugin that allows you to use drag and drop functionality.
Beaver Builder is mainly a drag and drop page builder plugin.
You can find their services here: http://www.sarakdaigle.com/beaverbuilder
You can purchase the builder alone which is $99 and use a free theme such as Astra!
Or the Genesis them which is $59.95.
**YOU DO NOT NEED TO PAY FOR A PAGE BUILDER. YOU CAN JUST CREATE YOUR WEBSITE USING A THEME.
I choose Beaver Builder paid solutions due to ease and flexibility.
You can change your theme at any time. Beaver Builder also has a corresponding theme that you can use with their page builder.
I choose to use Beaver Builder Drag and Drop Builder Plugin and their Beaver Builder Theme (PRO middle option below).
I do this because the two play extremely well together and I can build unlimited websites and blogs with the purchase.
The plugin & theme together are so easy to use!
OTHER CHOICES
Other choices that I was debating about was Genesis theme or Divi. Divi has a ton of popularity.
However, after research, I found they use shortcode which essentially means you can not switch to another theme or move your website.
Even if I don’t end up changing my site I still don’t want to be locked to a certain theme.
Due to this I chose Beaver Builder and couldn’t be happier.
I also thought about the future of my websites and blog.
I knew there would be the potential for an online store and other websites.
I chose Beaver Builder because its easy and you can literally set up a page in minutes if you use a template.
I also love the freedom to design your site and each page with full customization.
I’m always thinking for what I’ll need down the road and Beaver Builder will support my web design as I continue to get more and more advanced.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH YOUR BLOG
There are many ways to monetize your blog.
Below is a great list to start off with and should help you come up with the ways you want to make money with your blog.
AD INCOME - you can make money based on the number of visitors to your website.
Many websites make money from ads alone. Most bloggers I see make about 3-15K per month from ad income.
You can start off with media.net or google adsense.
AFFILIATES
You can write articles that promote products that you love by using affiliate links and banners in your blog posts.
Some Bloggers make up to 7 figures just by affiliate income alone.
Some of the best affiliate systems to get set up with is:
Amazon Affiliates: easiest and most convenient place to find products. Every product under the sun is available
ShopStyle Collective: amazing for fashion, beauty, home decor, and lifestyle bloggers. You can promote Nordstrom, Etsy, Sephora, and much more.
Affiliate Income from other courses or services you have used.
Many coaches and service offer their own affiliate programs.
Check to see what programs you have loved and if they offer an affiliate program.
If you are interested in making money from affiliate marketing I highly suggest you check out Michelle Schroeders Course - Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing
You can find her course here:
http://www.sarakdaigle.com/makingsenseofaffiliatemarketing
Michelle makes over $150,00 PER MONTH!
Holy Crap!
I took her course and it was extremely eye opening and one of the best courses I’ve taken it to help me make money from my blog.
Your Own Courses & Products: You can easily use your blog to write about your own products and services.
You can also direct potential buyers to your landing pages to complete a sale or better yet to an opt-in to capture their email.
Once you have their email you can market to them and provide other value-driven services.
This is gold when it comes to having an online coaching or marketing business.
Sponsorships: You can provide your blog to various companies that offer a product or service your adore.
They pay you to write a blog post and/or a series of blog posts, and even for social media posts. Again this can be a HUGE money generator.
There are a million other ways to make money, but this is a great way to start off with.
Brainstorm maybe one or two objectives that you would like to accomplish with your blog when it comes to money-making.
***If you are serious about monetizing your blog I highly suggest Paul Scrivens course - Billionaire Blog Club.
Paul runs like over 10 blogs and makes over 75K per month.
It is an A-Z Course on how to create a blog and make money quickly.
He includes in-depth tutorials when it comes to starting a blog, using Pinterest to generate traffic, SEO, and also Affiliate Marketing.
This is the #1 course I have ever taken (in all of the courses I have taken for my biz) and has really put things into alignment for me when it comes to creating my blog.
This is the last time the course is offered at $347.
After this last go around he will be launching an even more in-depth course.
I believe is estimated to be at a $1500.00 price point. (i'm ecstatic for this new course!!!)
Definitely check out his free 12-day blogging boot camp if you are interested in beginning blogging for money at http://www.sarakdaigle.com/freeblogbootcamp
There you have it!

Top 5 Reasons why Ancestral Healing is Important Work
- By Jamy Schumacher
First of all, what is Ancestral Healing?
Ancestral Healing is the work of going back in our family’s timeline and accessing the lessons and healing that was inaccessible to them at their present moment, in the past.
But before we go into that, it is important to understand a few things.
One of the most important aspects to remember is that linear time is a human construct.
Through the ever-expanding awareness we are gaining through quantum physics we know that energy is multidimensional and non-linear.
The only moment is now, anything we “remember” only exists in the present moment in our minds.
The physical experience is not actually happening in the present moment.
Anything we are manifesting for the future is being created in our minds.
This is important in Ancestral Healing because we are healing the energy of our Ancestors in the present moment and therefore it has impacts on our present experience.
When we “go back” in our times lines, we are currently present in that place in the timeline and we are healing it now as if we were present in the past when the root of the wound occurred.
This means that as you do the work to heal your ancestors, the healing spreads throughout your family and all of the future generations of that ancestor.
You are doing work to heal the collective.
You may never really know how far the healing reaches on a conscious level.
Is your mind blown yet?
Good…because the mind is fundamentally limited by itself.
It is a set of programs that cannot experience anything, it can only attempt to understand what an experience might be.
Go Deep Into Your Heart Center
In order to fully experience something, you have to go deeper into your heart center.
This is where your soul, your higher consciousness, your divine connection to source is found.
The mind is like the hard drive of a computer; it can only access the information that has been put there.
The heart center is like a connection to WIFI.
I don’t know about you but my computer seems pretty useless when I try to use it without being connected to the Internet.
That is what living in your mind is like, completely limited to what is currently installed, and not being able to Google any inspired information or access higher consciousness.
So this is the place that I call you to be as you read this article, allowing any thoughts that the mind may try to grab onto to be acknowledged and go deeper and check in at your heart center with what is valuable enough for your focus.

Top 5 Reasons Why Ancestral Healing is Important Work
1. Ancestral Wounds are holding us back from stepping into our best life.
The wounds have traveled through our families since they were created and those before us were not ready or able to heal it.
It is coming up in our conscious awareness that it can be healed because we are the highest level of consciousness in our families and we are the first in our respective families with the ability to heal it.
Our ancestors deal with and lived through lives with the wound continuously affecting their lives and their choices.
We are at a place in history and within our own soul evolution that we do not have to continue to carry the wound or the weight that it brings.
We have the ability to bring light and awareness to that wound and choose to release it and to heal it and to overcome it. When we heal these deep wounds we gain more freedom and more choice in our lives.
2. When you heal an ancestral wound, it heals your current life and also clears it for your ancestors and for your kids.
Because you stepped into, and healed, the moment that the wound was created, you are releasing the karmic debt from your entire lineage.
As a momma, there is nothing that I would not do to help give my kids as many resources as I can for happiness and freedom.
3. If it is coming into your conscious awareness to heal ancestral wounds, it is a part of your purpose.
You get to choose whether or not you want to fulfill that aspect of your purpose, but many of us in this current generation is here to do this work, to clear the old energy of our families in order to create space for a new level of awareness.
It is coming up in our conscious awareness that this work can be done because we are the highest level of consciousness in our families and we are the first in our respective families with the ability to heal it.
4. All of humanity is interconnected and we are all parts of the same whole.
When you heal ancestral wounds you are essentially releasing a pressure valve on the collective and helping to usher in a new reality for humanity.
You are raising the consciousness of the collective!
You are healing and transmuting what most people are unwilling to even look at and therefore just shove it down into the collective and it comes bubbling up in the weakest links as violence, abuse, addiction, etc.
5. Freedom!
When we look at, and furthermore heal or connect, the things that lay in the unconscious, we gain a new freedom in our lives from unconscious blocks that keep us in lower vibrational cycles.
It is like releasing a weight that was anchoring you from your next level of growth and expansion.
Ancestral healing is a powerful way for us to contribute to the healing of humanity.
If you are feeling called to it, I encourage you to explore various ways to do this work in your life.
It isn’t for everyone and takes a badass warrior to step in and do work for a collective!
