A promise to yourself

A promise to yourself

Good afternoon moon babes! Happy 1st of the month, I hope you all are doing well and having an amazing weekend. I wanted to share with you guys today something new I have been doing spiritually when trying to instill change in myself. Often times I will start noticing aspects of things I do, say, or think as negative or as something that is not of my highest good. Once I recognize those things I'll start to work though why I might be doing /saying/ allowing that into my aura and daily life. How it affects me and my path towards my goals and highest good, and think through ways I would implement changing that. Sometimes I am able to make those changes, sometimes I have enough personal strength and discipline to complete that change. Others, fall short and leave me more upset in the long run. Often I find that making the first step in any type of change or adaptation in yourself and your life can be hard, this is where I have been petitioning my ancestors more and asking for them to aid in holding me more accountable

It could be as simple as saying you are going to drink more water. Maybe you want to work on speocific matters in your spirituality, maybe you want to study more, keep your space more tidy, workout more, cook more home meals whatever it might be.

The point of this is not to scare you into doing it because you also make a pact with spirit.  Or that. you don't want to make a "deal" or contract with them over this change you're asking to make within yourself, It is to also an honor to yourself and highest good to stick to your own word. 

Your spirits will hold you scccountsble in’s way they see fit for your highest good, and to me that continues the fire under my ass to keep me going. This offers extra support from your spirit team, guides, and heist good while making a series gesture to yourself and them that you are looking to change something. 

How I've been implementing this into my practice is by petitioning specific ancestors or even deities depending on what I am looking to change. When I was doing a lot of negative self speak and thoughts I petitioned my Nana, who abosolytley LOATHES this behavior. She always wants me to think of myself the way she sees me, and while those eyes are so caring and loving they also offer insight into ways I can start changing my inner dialogue. So, go over to your altar cleanse your hands, light your ancestor or deity candle, and prep your petition paper. 

You can do this by ripping off all man made edges off of your paper, ripping the paper towards you as you go along. If you have any ancestor oil or altar oil anoint the edges of your petition paper and begin to write to your highest good and spirit that you wish to bring in for this. Ask that spirit /deity for support in making and sustaining this change. Ask that if you make mistakes while implementing this change that they understand and do not punish you ( be mindful about what spirits you ask to aid you with this. Some LOVE tough love and will decently punish in whatever way they see fit if you work this into a serious deal that they hold you to. Be mindful about how you word this petition. Pour your heart out to them and yourself, fold the paper towards you three times and place this paper either under their altar candle or besides it with an liquid offering that is their favorite along with burning an incense that is their favorite. Leave this on your altar for 24 hours and burn it, save the ash for black salt and use in your thresholds.

I hope you guys like this, a bit different than a spell but something that I have found helps me immensely.

Blessed be,

Stassi
