A Wiccan Way to create New Years resolutions, HAPPY 2015!

Greetings! It is hard to believe that 2015 is upon us! Where does the time go? They say the older you get the faster time flies due to simply our own perception of time in our brains. Taking a moment to slow down time is important, as things happen too quickly around us. The next thing we know we are in places in our lives and doing things that we either missed out on or weren't privy to in the first place. Slowing down time is easier than you think, taking a moment in between the hustle and bustle to really look around at things, smell the trees and the flowers, say hello to people by making eye contact and smiling, take your time enjoying meals and sipping cordials, taking a nice warm herbal bath, engaging in prayer, meditation, or just taking a random stroll with nowhere to go and nowhere to be with a loved one is a wonderful way to slow things down.

January is also a wonderful time to hone in on the goals and dreams and manifestations of what we want to experience in our life. I love doing a New Year's eve ritual which solidifies my resolutions in a way that makes them more attainable. I start by hand writing my goals for the year, one at a time, with thoughtful description, and with a realistic view of how to attain those goals. When I am ready, I sip on wintergreen and chamomile tea while I cast a circle and burn some Bergamot essential oil for clarity and success, purple and yellow candles for psychic and energetic vibrations, and toss some dried raspberry leaf in my cauldron for prosperity and flourishing! I like to cut out each goal from the handwritten paper I have prepared with my goals while reading each out loud three times, before then placing them in my wishing/manifestation box on my altar, one by one. Of course you can do resolution magic anyway you would like, this is just one way that I like to enjoy goal manifestation. If you have some buddies or fellow practitioners to work with during this magical time even better, there is strength and support in numbers!

It is important to continually reevaluate how we would like our lives to play out, and knowing that we have choices in what we want to create is very important. Visiting those choices regularly, not just once a year, will bring you the change and experiences yo want more readily and easily. Few desires are too farfetched to work toward. Take the time to really get in touch with what brings you the most joy. Ask yourself, what are things that make you smile the most? Bring you an inner sense of warmth? It could be something as benign as a weather condition, hearing your favorite song more often, a place you love to visit, a person you would like to spend more time with, or a career you would like to explore. Start with just the basics and move into more detailed spaces of your life. In my life coaching curriculum, I teach people how to recognize those positive and joyful experiences and how to bask in them more often. It really is about getting back to basics. :)

Here is to an amazing 2015 for all! Much love, smiles, joy, and blessings to all ~Lady Shadowe
