5 Reasons We Don't Get What We Want – Part III

In Part I and Part II of this series we discussed how daily rituals, like those found in our Daily Rituals for Attracting What You Want in Life ebook, can help us connect with the Universe and higher beings to create manifestations of everything we want in life. This magical truth has been taught by master teachers for ages and it's all about simply asking the Universe and preparing ourselves to receive the delivery. We've identified 5 main reasons however that people aren't able to follow this simple recipe for getting everything they want and covered two of them in depth. Here in Part III of the series we explore another of those reasons, "We Are Hypnotized by Daily Life".

As a reminder, the top 5 reasons we've identified are:
1. We Don't Believe We Can Be, Do, and Have Everything We Want
2. Negativity is Popular
3. We Are Hypnotized by Daily Life
4. We Are Afraid of Failure
5. We Think We Have to "Make it Happen."

Over the next few weeks, we'll explore the other reasons on our list. Then it will be your turn to give some input on what you think about these reasons and have a chance to receive a magical gift from us.

We Are Hypnotized by Daily Life
Most people go through life in a pretty mechanical state rather than living in consciousness. We are so hypnotized by our daily lives with our schedules, commitments, to-do lists, etc. that we don't consciously create. Test it out for yourself and take a few minutes first thing in the morning and last thing at night to observe your thoughts. You will probably find they are about what you have to do today, or things that happened to you during the day. The big desires and dreams that you have probably aren't part of those thoughts. We go through our routines, our have-to's and shoulds almost like robots. Have you ever been driving to work and suddenly realize you are there without remembering the drive hardly at all. Talk about mechanical and robotic!

The Magical Solution
Taking the time to make daily rituals a priority in our lives allow us to create contact with Spirit and keep that contact going all day. Spirit is the keeper of our dreams, desires and lessons we came to Earth in physical bodies to learn. That part of ourselves that stays in touch with our spirit path and goes through our lives daily with purpose and meaning needs to be nurtured. Daily rituals don't have to be real time consuming or complicated and making them a priority allows us to break out of the mechanical state and become Spirit-led and achieve our dreams. You can magically break out of the hypnotic state of life, live more consciously and become a co-creator with the Universe to get everything you want.

5 Reasons We Don't Get What We Want – Part II

In Part I of this series we discussed how it is a magical truth that you can be, do and have everything you want in life and how this is not new information as it has been a subject master teachers all around the world have being teaching for ages. Just asking the Universe can help you get it all. Just like you place your order in a restaurant, you enter this great magical café, select what you want from the menu of infinite possibilities, place your order and the Universe delivers. We started exploring the reasons we don't all do this in the last article and of course the first thing is that you have to get yourself to the "restaurant" and second make yourself ready to receive. Daily rituals are a great way to get yourself to the "restaurant". Daily rituals are small planned actions that connect us with what we want in life and put us in the energetic space to be able to receive. Daily rituals can help you release pain, start the day and end the day in a magical way, get help from higher powers and beings, and access knowledge from the Universe. You'll find a wide variety of these in our Daily Rituals for Attracting What You Want in Life ebook.

Reasons We Don't Get What We Want

As we cover in our Daily Rituals ebook, we have identified 5 reasons that prevent people from getting those things they want. These are all conditions that can interfere with bringing manifestations to fruition and block us from receiving from the Universe. We took an in-depth look at the number 5 reason in Part I of this series. In this article we'll cover number 4 and over the next few weeks, stay tuned as we explore the other reasons. Then it will be your turn to give some input on what you think about these reasons and have a chance to receive a magical gift from us.

The 5 top reasons we don't get what we want are:

1. We Don't Believe We Can Be, Do, and Have Everything We Want
2. Negativity is Popular
3. We Are Hypnotized by Daily Life
4. We Are Afraid of Failure
5. We Think We Have to "Make it Happen."

We Are Afraid of Failure
Most of us in this day and age are not taught how to attract what we want or how to manifest our desires. We don't learn these things in school growing up and it's not something most parents teach their children. Therefore we don't get a lot of practice and are often unsure how to proceed. This quite often leads to failure and when we don't see results of getting those things we want delivered to us, we tend to give up and just accept what comes. We have been taught that failure is something to avoid so we quite often don't even try again.

The Magical Truth
The magical truth is that we are always co-creating with the Universe and never fail. Humans are born to create constantly. We don't always create those things that we want, but we are always creating. There are a variety of conditions that can interfere with the delivery of the things we want to attract, but more often than not we do create what we want. We just often don't have the patience to wait for it and have moved on to something else by the time it arrives. In that case we don't give the recognition and gratitude or even consciously see our creative efforts.

Daily rituals are a good way to make the creative process more conscious and allow us to see the connections between what we ask for and what we get. Being consciously aware of creating our manifestations and our co-creations with the Universe, we gain confidence in these abilities. So pull those old dreams and desires you gave up on long ago out of the attic, dust them off, and learn how to consciously engage to make those dreams a reality.

5 Reasons We Don't Get What We Want – Part I

It is a magical truth that you can be, do and have everything you want in life. This has been a subject master teachers all around the world have being teaching for ages. To get it all you only have to ask the Universe and it will deliver. It's like being in a great magical café. You select what you want from the menu of infinite possibilities, place your order and the Universe delivers. So why aren't we all doing this? You first have to get yourself to the "restaurant" and second make yourself ready to receive. One way to enter the "restaurant" is by doing daily rituals. These are small planned actions that connect us with what we want in life and puts us in the energetic space to be able to receive. Daily rituals can help you release pain, start the day and end the day in a magical way, get help from higher powers and beings, and access knowledge from the Universe. You'll find a wide variety of these in our Daily Rituals for Attracting What You Want in Life ebook.

Reasons We Don't Get What We Want
As we cover in our Daily Rituals ebook, we have identified 5 reasons that prevent people from getting those things they want. These are all conditions that can interfere with bringing manifestations to fruition and block us from receiving from the Universe. In this article we'll cover one of these in depth and over the next few weeks, stay tuned as we explore the other reasons. Then it will be your turn to chime in on what you think about these reasons and have a chance to receive a magical gift from us.

The 5 top reasons we don't get what we want are:
1. We Don't Believe We Can Be, Do, and Have Everything We Want
2. Negativity is Popular
3. We Are Hypnotized by Daily Life
4. We Are Afraid of Failure
5. We Think We Have to "Make it Happen."

We Think We Have to "Make it Happen."
Let's start at the bottom of the list and explore number 5 – We think we have to "make it happen". We start learning as children that we have to DO in order to succeed. We are encouraged to get good grades in school so that we can qualify for a good college and end up getting a good job which will lead to happily ever after. We are told that "if you want something done right you have to do it yourself", or "keep your nose to the grindstone" or "you've got to pull yourself up by your bootstraps" or "no pain, no gain" and a plethora of other phrases and clichés meant to motivate us. Of course there are some things in life that we have to make happen for ourselves, but the magical reality is that not everything in life has to be so hard. Having to make everything happen all by ourselves is a hard way to approach life and can be exhausting and stressful. With this attitude, many things don't happen because we just can't get to them all or they are too hard and we just stop trying.

An easier approach to life involves creating with help from the Universe and all it costs is appreciation, gratitude and belief. There is a Universal helper in the form of an angel, guide, totem and many other spiritual beings for just about everything you could want. These beings are ready and willing to help you get those things you want like a new job, a new mate, or any life change, all you have to do is ask. That is where daily rituals come in. They remind us that all we need do is the asking, then to step back and let the Universe do the delivering. We really don't have to do it all by ourselves and life can be fuller and easier letting go of the control and micro-managing by letting the Universe do its part.

Tired of fighting uphill battles and having to make everything happen on your own? Then consider changing this number 5 reason that you don't get everything you want. What do you have to lose by giving it a try co-creating with the Universe? If you decide you just can't relax and let the Universe deliver what you want, you can always go back to your old ways. But once you truly let magic into your life and see how different it can be having spiritual helpers in your life, we bet you won't want to go back.

Yet Another Magical Ritual to Help You See Your Financial Blind Spots

We've been finding a lot of interest being expressed to us lately about the topic we've been covering in our recent newsletters and blog articles about how to attract money and finding our financial blind spots. And why not? With everything getting more and more expensive these days we'd all like to know how to attract money wouldn't we? So far on this topic we've shared some of the rituals from our Witchcraft Spell Book: The Complete Guide of Witchcraft Rituals & Spells for Beginners and here we have one more to offer.

Preparing for How to Attract Money
The rituals we've been discussing are not actual magic spells for how to attract money, but rather rituals to help you pre-pave the way and be in the proper mindset to receive money or anything else that you desire when you are co-creating with the Universe. Often the Universe is ready to deliver what we have asked for, but we have a block that is keeping it from getting to us. The big problem comes when we don't even know what those blocks are or we have a real financial blind spot going on. Learning how to attract money or anything else we've asked for requires that we find out what those blocks are and work through them to open ourselves for what we want to flow to us.

Left Hand/Right Hand Ritual
This ritual for getting answers is one we call Left Hand, Right Hand. Magically speaking there is a disconnection between your right hand and your left hand which represents a disconnection between mind and Spirit. With this ritual you can literally question the Universe with one hand and ask for information or guidance and receive the answers through your other hand. Here's exactly how to perform this ritual:

1. Using a compass, determine the cardinal direction East.

2. Sit in the East (which is the direction of knowledge and communication) facing West.

3. On a flat surface in front of you have a Sun Yellow candle, wooden or paper matches, paper and a pen.

4. Light your candle and charge it with the following verse and wait for there to be a tall working flame on the candle before going on.
"Child of Wonder,
Child of Flame,
Nourish My Spirit,
And protect my Aim."
5. For most people, their dominant hand is the one they write with, but in some cases this is not true. Point at something and the hand you pointed with is your dominant hand. Use this hand to write the question on your paper that you want help answering or that will lend itself to guidance. For example, you might write, "Why can I not keep a job?" or "What is causing me to not be promoted?" or simply, "What issues do I have that prevent money from coming to me?".

6. Now switch your pen to your other hand and write the answer. Don't worry about how the writing looks as long as you can read it. Don't stop to think about answers either, remember we are by-passing Mind to get our answers from higher powers and beings communicating through Spirit. Just write the first thing that comes to you. You may be surprised by what you get, don't question it, just write it down.

At first the answer you wrote may not make any sense to you. That's OK. Just keep the answer in your consciousness for a few days and see what happens. Sometimes answers come a small bit at a time instead of big chunks. That makes them easier for us to get a full understanding. There may be more information, events or situations that will come in the next few days that will give you a better understanding of your answer, so be aware of those. You can also make this a daily ritual and do it as many days as you need to until you have the understanding and information you seek. Remember it's not always the end goal that is the most important, but the journey to get there. Be patient and enjoy watching the process unfold that brings you to knowledge, understanding and enlightenment. This process will always be in perfect timing with our ability to process and use it.

Another Magical Ritual to Help You See Your Financial Blind Spots

In our September 2 newsletter we talked about the financial blind spots we have that keep us in the dark as to why money is not flowing into our realities. In learning how to attract money and establishing a good relationship with money, it is important to pave the way for that flow to come to us. The Universe is willing and ready to deliver what we desire, but often we "get in our own way" and block the flow from getting to us. The newsletter article gave directions for doing a Question Circle to consult the beings of the four directions for insights and guidance. Another daily ritual you'll find in our Witchcraft Spell Book: The Complete Guide of Witchcraft Rituals & Spells for Beginners is how to consult the Spirit of Owl.

Spirit of Owl
The spirit of Owl is a particularly good totem to consult for guidance because it has many of the best qualities of physical owls including:
  • very keen sight, especially at night which means they are able to see what is hidden
  • excellent hearing
  • able to turn head 270 degrees (eyes in the back of the head ability)
  • excellent hunting skills
  • reputation for wisdom

You can see how these attributes would make Owl a good one to help figure out those things in yourself that you are not aware of. So if you are looking to "hunt down", see all around you and bring those things hidden from you out into the light, the wisdom of Owl just may be what you need.

Working With the Spirit of Owl
The Owl totem specializes in hunting down information that is hidden or not immediately available. Follow the steps of this ritual to request help from Owl.

1. Aloud or in your mind say, "Spirit of Owl, I request your help."

2. Wait quietly for a few seconds until you "feel" the presence of Owl. If you aren't familiar with working with spirit beings and aren't sure you feel the presence, go ahead to the next step since Owl always comes when requested.

3. Tell Owl what you are requesting. For example, in this case you might say, "Owl, please come with me today and show me what is causing my financial situation to not improve. Please show me this in a way that I can clearly understand. Thank you in advance for your help." Thanking Owl as with other Spirit beings is a necessary part of the request as the Owl totem thrives on appreciation.

4. Now go about your day with an open mind as to what Owl will show you. Owl will ride on your shoulder, whispering in your ear, giving you knowledge and understanding where you had blindness and confusion previously. The messages may come in many different forms such as an overheard conversation from a stranger, old memories appearing in your thoughts, a significant symbol or picture you come across on a sign or in a book or magazine, the words of a song and many other ways. Just stay aware and open to any communications that come.

5. Once you get your messages from Owl and have received the information you are seeking, be sure to offer appreciation and gratitude again.

If at the end of the day or time period you stated in your request, you don't have the understanding you seek, ask again the next day. You might need to re-form your request a bit or you can stay with the same one. Since you are working on uncovering hidden information it could just be that you didn't understand the information Owl sent you or that it is still hidden enough that you just missed it. Ask again as many times as you need to and as many days as you need to, each time asking for the answers to come in a form you can easily understand. Each day that you ask, Owl will make it more obvious to you. Just be persistent in asking until you reach the point of understanding. Owl is there to help guide you to that understanding.

Whether you are seeking for help and guidance to money issues or any other issues in your life, the Spirit of Owl is a good ally to have. Establishing a relationship with and working with this totem through this ritual is a great way to grow spiritually, develop a better understanding of yourself and to invite magic to be at work in your life.
