Daily Practices That Improve Your Spiritual Connection

What type of relationship do you have with your higher power (god, goddess, or the universe)?

I will tell you right from the beginning – the level of your happiness is directly proportional to your connection to your spiritual source.

For years, I spent a lot of time wandering around the physical world “acting as if” I had the perfect spiritual life. After all, I had all the head knowledge. I knew the language of Kabbalah and other metaphysical sciences like I knew the English Alphabet. But, I had a little dirty secret – I knew the language, knew the words, I knew how to go through all the motions, but I had not applied the principles to my life. In fact, it took 11 years (and a spiritual awakening guised in a brekadown) to actually begin my REAL spiritual journey and create the actual connection to the light of the creator that I truly desired. I realized that spirituality and my personal connection actually took work, effort, and daily practice.

Now, before you get confused. I am not a saint, I did not grow angel wings, and I have not yet learned to levitate. I (like everyone else) have made some stupid life decisions that were not in my best interest. I still get caught up in obsessive thoughts, anxieties, worries, struggles, battles with my self-defeating behaviors, but what I have learned is that I always have a remedy to these particular problems. Applying these solutions has helped me become truly free.

SPECIAL HOLIDAY EDITION – PASSOVER (PESACH)

Are you tired of living a life filled with fears? Are you ready to break your addictions? If so, this week provides a powerful opportunity for you to get to the root of your problems and resolve them once and for all!

This week is a special energetic week because we enter into the season of Passover. Now, most people know what Passover is; but for those of you that do not, I will explain it here. For those of you that do, let me humor you!

Passover is the story of the Israelites in Egypt who were granted freedom from slavery and began their journey (beginning of a spiritual process) to the Promised Land (spiritual fulfillment). You can read about it in the book of Exodus (Shemot) in the Bible or you can watch the 10 Commandments. However, there is much more to Passover than just an epic story of an oppressed people quest for freedom.

So, what is it really about?

It’s REALLY about you and me!

“Why Is That” Tarot Spread

Tarot is a remarkable tool. Out of the many systems of the arcane sciences, tarot is the most versatile. Within its 78-card system is the ability to answer any question, and provide insight into areas of concern in our lives. We can access information on many levels – the teleological, psychological, and mundane. In essence, tarot can reach the deepest corners of our mind to reveal startling information that may be hidden from us, and reveals powerful information that makes our lives well-rounded and meaningful.

During one of our Psychic Friends Live shows my co-host Jacki Smith (we now both host Keep It Magic) revealed a four layered formula to identify what magical candles were best to use for any given issue. The formula requires the Querent to search deep inside their unconscious to discover the root level of the problem. Why? Often what appears to be the issue is really just the symptom of a larger and deeper problem that needs to be resolved before the manifested symptom can be addressed.

Working with clients this can be cumbersome. Many clients are afraid of accessing what is limiting them or do not know how to express their uncertainties and anxieties into words. In addition, we may feel awkward expressing our fears and the root of our problems because we are embarrassed or feel self-conscious of what they may reveal.

I have translated Jacki’s formula into a tarot spread. The spreads purpose is to reveal the deeper layer of our unconscious and provide insight into what can be worked through in order to change our current situation at the root level. Once we resolve the root issue, it becomes easier for the surface problem or symptom to be resolved.

Update: Jacki has included this spread in her bestselling book, “Coventry Magic“

The Secret of Storm Cestavani’s Sun Candle

In February (yes it was 3 years ago) 2010, I developed a line of candles with Jacki Smith from Coventry Creations. We decided to call the line “Storm Cestavani’s Tarot Magic!” — an ambitious attempt to weave practical candle magic in with the Tarot Cards. Guess what? It worked! The candles have brought forth lasting change and well-being to my clients, and radio show listeners. Needless to say, the line has been very successful and I am pleased with the results.

I am very inquisitive with my products, so I decided to do a little “tarot testing”. What does my Sun candle really do? Since, I love Robert Place’s Alchemical Tarot, I decided to use a simple 3 card spread. I asked the question, “What can the tarot reveal about my Sun candle?”

Radical Acceptance and The Sign of Aquarius

Every new year things change. We begin to look at things in new ways and we begin to view things through the lens of possibility and potential. The sign of Capricorn urges us to become more structured and disciplined and as a result you see businesses form their New Year Agenda. This is no different at Coventry where we plan to be more thematically based in 2013 then we have been in the past.

I will admit that working with astrology in a thematic sort of way has been challenging and rewarding at the same time. I have learned much over the past year about the signs and the planets and how to make use of them in a transformational way to help achieve what is that we desire out of life and to be able to seize on every moment that is available to us.

The month of February is associated with the sign of Aquarius and the theme for the month is “getting to the hard truth.” Although the “truth” is something that is innately evident within the sign of Aquarius, it is necessary for us to get to the crux of this word in order to apply it in a practical way that can improve our businesses and our lives.
