New Addition : Full Sized Malas!!

Posted | 0 comments

I started Charm & Magic almost 2 years ago – two weeks before my son was born.

Now, with about a month before the next baby comes, I have a new addition to the Charm & Magic collection… full sized malas. These necklaces are made with 108 larger beads that you can easily use for meditation + prayer. They are a delight to hold as you repeat a mantra, or wear as a reminder of a greater intention.

One mala is called Grounded Grace, but they all embody that essence : earthy colors mixed with heavenly ones, playful + asymmetrical with pockets of sparkle – all lovingly strung on silk.

These would be a great gift for any friends, sisters, moms, daughters, yoga teachers, (or yourself) … that appreciate beauty + accessing their inner calm. These malas are a beautiful tool to ground + guide you as you connect to yourself and move fluidly + ease-fully towards what you are most wanting. Plus a portion of your purchase will go towards Girls on Fire… and well, you can’t beat supporting a meaningful cause while you shop!

How To Connect To Your Intuition

Posted | 0 comments

Your intuition is what guides you in the right direction. Everyone has access to it, you just have to cultivate it lovingly and consistently. Here are a few ways you can strengthen your connection to yourself so that you can step into your intuitive flow.

1. Realize you have it, and flat out own it.

2. Make quiet time for just yourself daily – if only for a minute.

3. Journal: ask big questions, and let your intuition write you the answers – you will be surprised with how much you already know.

4. Meditate. Perhaps the most important thing you could do to strengthen this muscle. Return to the breath and let everything else fall away.

5. MOVE : do yoga, run, swim, spin, walk, dance – whatever gets you into your body and out of your mind. Motion is potion.

6. Do something you love : a favorite hobby, make a delicious meal, color, play with your kids, whatever you helps you feel in the flow. Do that as often as possible.

7. Honor the moon.

8. Pray.

9. Supercharge this connection by pairing it with a mini mala – or any other symbolic item you have in your presence as a visual reminder.

When I am conscious about the information I am taking in from the external world, and reverent towards my internal guide – a lot ends up opening and flowing, which feels really good.

What do you do to find that connection to your intuition? I’d LOVE to hear!

Finding Home

Where do you go when you need to be reminded of who you are and what you stand for?

Where do you go when you’re not sure where home will be, and you already feel your roots gently lifting?

How do you ground down while still remaining open and receptive to receive the countless blessings that are waiting to be showered upon you?

What do you do when you feel stuck and are fearful you may never move forward again?

What do you do when you feel uninspired, and just want to be held and taken care of?

What do you do when you’ve exhausted all options, and fear and doubt have a very tight grip on you?

What do you do when as quickly as you realize a dream, you immediately discount the slight possibility of it?

Where do you go when you need guidance?

//

Here’s my remedy:

I turn inwards, I commit to a practice, I breathe, and I connect to myself over and over again –  because that is where all the golden nuggets of insight and wisdom lie.

Receive your deepest knowing and let that guide you to the most incredible spaces you have yet to enter – but are deeply anticipating your arrival.

//

Breathe. Meditate. Connect. And locate the charm & magic within – again, and again.

A Reminder

Posted | 0 comments

It’s all an illusion.

What you see is not necessarily how it really appears.

How it appears is not necessarily real…

You have to choose to see the flowers.

You have to choose to feel.

Take the time to :

Explore,

Ask,

Check In,

And Receive,

And most importantly BREATHE.

When I catch myself questioning my worth + my value. I will celebrate that I caught myself and remember that what I’m thinking is most likely false.

I do my best to stay connected, over and over again.

Trusting wildly.

Knowing I am more than worth it, and my gifts (and yours) are NEEDING to be shared to heal yourself and this world.

And if you forget this little fact (which you most likely will), just remind yourself until you remember your greatness again.

“In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness.” – Gandhi
