Sleep spell jar

Despite being incredibly exhausted lately I've been having trouble actually going to sleep. My "I will rest well" sigil was effective but not enough to keep me from waking up throughout the night so I'm going to be trying a spell jar tonight.

Ingredients

Lavender

Camomile

Jasmine buds

Blue poppy seeds

Mint flowers

Sleep sigil

Moon stone

Selenite

Amethyst

Lavender is for the calming effects.

Camomile is for the relaxing effect.

Jasmine is to have good dreams.

Blue poppy seed is for the sleep effect.

Mint flowers are for the soothing effects.

Sleep sigil (self-explanatory)

moonstone for the association of night and the moon.

Selenite for the extra energy boost (again I've been very tired but unable to sleep properly).

Amethyst to compliment the lavender effects.

I will be leaving this at my Bedside and will give an update in a week to see how it goes

🤎Heirs of Cosmos™ series

— the Muse of Mars ♂

❝ Mars Mars Mars. You probably didn’t expect this post from me but you know it is long due. So here it is, I’m finally sitting down to write something for you guys in this new mini series I’m starting:) Enjoy loves ❞

➊ ✶ Mars is yang. Mars is always yang. In the chart it symbolises our need to attack and defend, while Venus is in charge of the sultry yin energy. Mars way of life can be accomplished in numerous ways, whether physically, verbally, strategically, cunningly, or just by refusing to back down. Individuals behave in accordance with their Mars, whether assertively and promptly or with deference to their adversaries. Mars is a warrior by all means and it is not hard at all to spot a Martians in the wild, let alone a Muse from Mars.

✶「 Martians are individuals with prominent Aries placements or significant Mars aspects. They demonstrate an acute and active awareness of their encounter with the universe, other individuals, and their own karma. They must take immediate action and advocate for their causes and ideals. They see all circumstances with enormous vigour, and they react to the present instant without hesitating to confirm that they have control of events. As a result of their impulsiveness, they readily accept challenges. They do, however, understand how to harness their resources effectively, more than anyone else in times of crisis. They act when it is necessary and appear on schedule. Mars’ attitudes are shaped by current events, their passions, and what has stood the test of time. When this desire for control and dominance is not adequately integrated, aggressive or impulsive behaviour may result. Consequently, these individuals must develop the ability to regulate their hypersensitivity and emotional outbursts. They are also bestowed with Martian qualities, such as a fighting spirit and a taste for duelling. When this willpower is properly channelled, it enables individuals to deal with a wide variety of unexpected occurrences. With them, there are a thousand different ways to win, and a thousand different obstacles to overcome with the fire and vigour that make life meaningful. Exuberant, spirited, and in touch with both life and the physicality of things, their state of existence is vibrant, spirited, and always full of fire and drive. 」

✶Muses of Mars through the Signs:

I’ll be referring to Mars as she/her in this specific post of mine. Whoever said that women are from Venus and men are from Mars should check take notes. It’s 2021, let’s spice it up. ✩

ARIES MARS — The Aries Mars muse has an athletic body, quick, abrupt motions, an aggressive, determined walk, physical strength, turns red when angered, angular gestures, angular eyebrows, might have stereotypically masculine traits like square jaw, prominent muscles, distinctive voice yet her beauty never fail to disappoint. She is simply naturally confident, competitive, forceful, courageous, enthusiastic, bold, and honest, and are not hesitant to speak their minds. Never one to back down, she is typically irascible and furious over everything. Despite the fact that her wrath is hair-raising, it is brief. Mars in Aries might assist in balancing out a chart’s low self-esteem and timidity. Additionally, this place promotes health, a high level of vitality, and vigour, although it is prone to headaches. If there are more Aries planets in the chart, in addition to an emphasis on fire signs, there can be a great deal of self-centeredness and an inability to recognise the needs of others. These are fighters who thrive on conflict and combat. She is innately charismatic. Mars in Aries is assertive and forceful, frequently speaking loudly. She can’t help but displays a high level of sexual desire and are easily aroused. She revel in spontaneous sex and are addicted to the rush of conquering. She may be really selfish and hasty in bed as a result of your impatience, and she may despise foreplay. She loves it when someone grabs her face or caress her jawlines, not to mention pulling her hair during sex. Lets hope you have enough stamina to go again, as she expressed a desire to do so immediately following the first love making session. She is drawn to men who are downright authoritarian and possess an element of confrontation. Prefers the more aggressive kind, she is anything but a slacker and she just simply goes straight to the point.

TAURUS MARS — The muse of Taurus Mars has curves, a sturdy, well-built body, a thick or strong neck, curly hair, “Taurean” features and appearance, slow, deliberate, sensuous, sinuous movements and walk, very strong when provoked, but generally slower reflexes, a tendency to gain weight, and a soft, deep, or sensuous voice. The muse possess a sensual and seductive nature. This role instils toughness and endurance in its occupants. Her efforts are focused on material items and wealth accumulation. Mars in Taurus is naturally jealous and possessive when it comes to love. Her sexual desire is ferocious. Mars in Taurus individuals have the same need for sex as humans do for oxygen. She will always pursue her sexual emotions regardless of the circumstances, which results in an approach to sex that some could consider a little too open. She have a fairly clear understanding of what it takes to make others happy. Even in the most open societies, her raw and earthy approach to sex may be considered inappropriate in polite society. As a result, her desires become her little dirty secret as she lives a double life. Sex becomes her gates of freedom, confining her to the darker realm, where she can be as horrible and as naughty as necessary. She would rather conceal her truest extent of her sensual needs. She assume that having wonderful sex equates having an excellent relationship. To initially engage this muse, one must make an effort to appeal to all of her senses. Feed her well, serenade her, lay down next to her and prepare fresh clean linen sheets and an animal is uncaged. She enjoys partners with a measure of material affluence Neck kisses are also a turn-on, as her erogenous zone is located on her neck.

GEMINI MARS — The Gemini Mars muse is often times very mercurial, rapid with youthful looks and motions, fast walk, youthful appearance, talks with hands, dexterity, good mimics of the face, thin, teenage-like, talks fast, more ethereal energy and even a more ethereal voice. She is quite outspoken. She takes pleasure in conversing and expressing herself. She may be fidgety and quickly bored as a result of her high-strung nature and abundance of worried energy. She desires partners that are highly intelligent and gregarious. She is prone to immediately exit a relationship if she deemed it no longer serves her need for mental stimulation, especially if they feel unappreciated or bored. The mind is preoccupied, and a preference exists for word puzzles and other mind-expanding diversions. Mars in Gemini is particularly gifted at persuading. She is prone to indecision and regularly shift their thoughts and stances on a variety of issues, particularly if her chart involves a heavy concentration on mutable signs. Recognize that sex is not necessary for the Mars in Gemini muse to function properly. She can enjoy sex without reservation or remorse while it is available, but when it is not, or if sex becomes problematic for any reasons, this muse can live quite nicely without. Her sexual energy is easily redirected or rethought for them, as sex is but a notion. And because she has no fundamental, personal, or emotional attachment to sex, she may see it objectively and without shame. This muse is frequently, but not always, quite experimental with her sexual behaviour. To turn her on, you must first be witty in your way of bringing it up and instil a desire for it in her thoughts. Her hands are her erogenous zones. As a result, massage her hands as well.

CANCER MARS — Cancer Mars muse, depending on other placements, might be curvy, lack of muscles, white soft skin, good breasts or nice pectorals, round and fluffy even if not overweight, round face with delicate touch, flushing easily, sensitive skin, soft, whisper-like, sweet or shy voice. She can be moody, sensitive, easily agitated, and possessive. However, she is very much susceptible to holding grudges. These individuals can be quite emotional when it comes to sex. In actuality, this muse must constantly experience sensations of love and emotions related with the sex act. She has a tendency to be exceedingly irritated. Her primary source of energy is spent on domestic disputes. Her emotions are constantly at risk, regardless of how much she reject it, and she is easily injured. Regrettably, the strength of her sexual needs, both bodily and emotional, makes conservatism difficult for her. When she does not receive the attention she desires, she can be rather whiney. Almost invariably, her relationships with her mom can be somewhat complicated. This muse is seeking for a partner that is loving, maternal, and empathetic. Additionally, she prefer sex to be transformative and harsh. She adores breasts massages and meaningful aftersex talks.

LEO MARS — You can spot her by looking for the mane, a tall or haughty appearance, a straight, long back, a prominent nose, a tendency to acquire weight, broad shoulders, regal hand motions, a deep or “feline” voice , a sinuous feline movement with enormous steps. She is genuinely exceedingly self-assured. Natural-born show-stoppers who understand how to impress people. This muse is also innovative and tenacious. There is an innate drive for self-sufficiency and autonomy. She anticipate complete and utter devotion to love. Anyone in love with a Mars in Leo should devote as much attention to her as possible to ensure a nice connection. There is a great deal of zeal, commitment, and ingenuity. As with other fire signs, there may be an inclination toward self-centeredness and an inability to comprehend the needs of others. This location fosters confidence and can compensate for factors that contribute to low self-esteem. In the arts and music, considerable competence is possible, especially if other components of the chart support it. If you ever want to start a conversation about possessiveness and jealousy in a relationship, this is a good place to start. Sexual intercourse is a crucial, even sacred, activity for this muse. After all, sex is an extension of her ego, and concealing it is against nature. Mars in Leo muse, as a result, will always have the right to brag. Of course, there are times when this seductiveness clashes with this type of underlying conservatism. Because, while she thrives on the limelight, she is deeply scared of being criticised or shamed. This is why no one should take the boasting of a Mars in Leo Lover too seriously. Pride always prevails over reality in her eyes. She can’t help but gravitate toward romantic partners with a larger-than-life attitude. Someone who is funny and capable of bringing a smile to urr face. To activate her, you must commit your complete focus to her body, as if worshipping it. Her erogenous zones are placed behind their necks and down her spines.

VIRGO MARS — Often times this muse has a lovely, virginal, youthful, and mercurial countenance. Mars in Virgo, which gives them the typical Virgo eyes: brilliant, sweet, and innocent. Slim, intelligent body types erratic gait (fast and somehow jumpy). A sensitive stomach. Hand dexterity, talking with their hands However, much more sensual than the Gemini Mars. The energies are focused on the task at hand. She is often times very successful in her fields and make excellent employees. She has an uncanny ability to pay attention to detail and are fastidious. She is innately tidy, clean, and organised. She possesses an infinite capacity for nagging and criticising. She is adept at identifying defects in objects and people that others commonly overlook or overlook totally. Hygiene and health are also hot themes. This muse is a perfectionist who may be quite critical. Due to the digestive system’s sensitivity, anxiety can produce stomach distress. She despise those who are weak willed. At her best, she is responsible, dependable, and diligent. These lovers are frequently far too content with uncomplicated sex, one that does not require conflict or mental distress. This tendency sometimes causes them to remain in toxic relationships solely to meet their bodily requirements. She is the type of person who feeds on the opportunity to deceive. Women with this placement gravitate for reliable partners with a big heart. Her stomachs contain their erogenous zones. Simply stroking her in this area will put you in places where you will crave for more.

LIBRA MARS — Spot her by looking for graceful, airy, thin, and sinuous in her motions and appearance. Perhaps a proclivity for long, wavy hair. Wavy movements are the norm. Beautiful voice, hands, gestures, and walk. An overall elegant appearance. Voice that is seductive. Taller than usual or may appear taller than in reality, height impression. She may struggle with directness. She may leave signals about her desires and act in ways that must be deciphered and interpreted by people who are familiar with them. She have the option of suppressing their fury rather than engaging in open combat. She may be prone to indecision and constantly alter their opinions, perspectives, and stances on subjects. This muse performs optimally when she is in a supportive, caring relationship. These individuals value teamwork and have the potential to be peacemakers. She can be flirty in public, but not necessarily mean it. She is wayyyy more concerned with her partner’s pleasure than hers with sex. She likes that the sex act is fair, and thus will file a complaint if you fail to keep your half of the bargain. She is hesitant to confrontation in public. Caressing her buttocks will arouse these individuals.

SCORPIO MARS — Plutonian eyes and features, darker complexion or hair, or a “dark” impression even if she is blonde. Unique, “witchy,” or sensual-like voice. Various body types but the capacity to go into a room without being heard like a cat. Scorpionic eyes or look, seductive aspect in either body or face. Mars in Scorpio is associated with a strong will and a great degree of personal passion. This muse is capable of seeing past others’ shortcomings. She is capable of being devastating adversaries and possess a strong sense of justice. She is vindictive, and if her or someone she loves is wronged, she will pursue vengeance, even if it takes years. She will never forget an injustice committed against them. She prefer not to show her issues publicly, preferring to let it simmer. This stance improves one’s ability to pay attention, focus, and meditate. The muse was born mages, and many of women with this placement possess an intrinsic ability for black magic from previous incarnations. Sex urge is pretty evident and powerful. Sexuality, spirituality, and esoteric topics are where energy congregate. When provoked, fury has the potential to be as destructive as an overturned wasp’s nest. She is possessive and jealous in her relationships. She desire complete commitment and loyalty in a romantic connection. If this is compromised, she can become fatal. She is rarely objective about anything; rather, she often has strong feelings about it and are either in love with it or loathe it. The emotions are strong and intense. These lovers are extremely sexual, and the lady is frequently drawn to tall, dark, and enigmatic partners. The Mars in Scorpio aficionado takes pleasure in being on top.

Could have a really powerful voice. A faster and more powerful walk than usual. The appearance is really outdoor-like. A fun lady, Mars in Sagittarius are genuine and  courageous; they adore travel and the nature; they are restless and vivacious. She can be fidgety, easily bored, and have a hard time being still for extended periods of time. As the gambling sign, Sagittarius frequently believes they are invincible and takes tremendous chances. Her optimism and self-assurance frequently keep her out of even the most perilous situations. There may be a tendency to repeat mistakes and a failure to learn from previous experiences. Sublimated energies are directed into higher knowledge and research. This muse possess the capacity to be lifelong learners. Mars in Sagittarius bestows inherent athletic ability and a passion for sports, especially when other components in the chart complement this. She talks directly and candidly, is outspoken, and has strong convictions. The majority of Mars in Sagittarius individuals regard sex as a sport. She doesn not want my love to be constrained in any way. She takes pleasure in having sex in public. She gravitate toward athletic-looking partners who appear to exercise regularly. Women in this position may find themselves drawn to either teachers or philosophers. They are triggered by the hip region.

CAPRICORN MARS — Saturnian looks, sturdy, possibly smaller/petite ladies, high and broad cheekbones, serious gaze, no gesticulation, steady, intimate voice, earthy appearance, goat-like features, and unmistakable mountain goat stride (fast, tip-toed). Skin that is sensitive. This muse has energies that are concentrated on professional and career ambitions. She can begin small and work her way up to very high places. Mars in Capricorn teaches us to be systematic, as well as to have patience and endurance. This placement helps compensate for the scattered energy and lack of follow-through of planets in mutable signs. There may be both workaholic tendencies and a business aptitude. Obtaining a position of status may require a lot of her time. The muse is motivated by material and money gain. She is efficient, practical, dependable, accountable, self-disciplined, and self-disciplined. She had little compassion for shiftless and sluggish individuals. If the energies of this location are not sublimated, or if other astrological aspects support them, she can be cold, calculating, usurious, and conceited. There could be problems with the bones, the skin, or the teeth.

AQUARIUS MARS — Find this muse by looking for ethereal, scattered, sudden walk or movements, might be of any body type, at least one striking feature (coloured eyes, odd nose, forehead, hands, etc.), ethereal, scattered, abrupt walk or movements, may be of any body type. Her energy is focused on friendship and group activities. These individuals prefer to work in groups rather than alone. She is very unique and appreciative of the strange and uncommon. She places a premium on justice and equity. She will react angrily and revolt if others attempt to exert authority over them. Very drawn to humanitarian causes and typically attempt to enact beneficial societal reforms. This placement typically results in scientific ability, as well as an intense interest in the future, technology, and civilization’s expansion. She is unsatisfied with antiquated methods and structures and desire to replace them with newer, more effective ones. This is why sex with her will never feel repetitive.

PISCES MARS — Look out for the amazing dancers/artists, dreamy eyes, lovely feet and legs, watery movements and stride, gentle voice with feminine inflexions even in men, radiant skin. This muse is often quiet, even timid. Pisces Mars’s aggressive and domineering characteristics are restrained. Frequently, there is a lack of self-esteem and the ability to argue for oneself. Vitality is frequently depleted. As gentle as she is, she can be secretive and shy, unless other planetary variables balance this out. In extreme cases, celibacy and a refusal to experience physical pleasure may occur. The sensitivity is quite apparent. She is more susceptible to being used and dominated by others. She is secretly sensitive and empathic with others’ plights. Frequently, energy are directed on fantasising and daydreaming. This location may develop artistic ability, a strong feeling of idealistic commitment, and refined musical and artistic inclinations. Mars in Pisces lessens nature, even more so if the chart is dominated by mutable signs. Sex with her is transformative and sensual. She seeks out for soul partners who she connects with telepathically.

Full Moon in Taurus/ Blood Moon/ Beaver Moon

When: November 19, 2021

What Energy does this moon phase bring?

This upcoming full moon goes by more than one name. Other than simply “The Full Moon”, it’s also referred to as the “Blood Moon” or as the Natives call it, the “Beaver Moon”. It is said that the Native Americans called it the Beaver Moon because of the shorter days and chillier temperatures that November brings. This full moon is especially intense because it’s also a partial eclipse. Position wise, this moon is in Taurus, opposite Scorpio, and trine Pluto.  Lots of energy to propel you forward in your character’s development. Making it a great time to release what no longer served you and find resolutions. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, moon phases affect everyone in some way (regardless of your sun sign 🔆). However, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius will be affected most by this full moon.  Now, if you’ve noticed you’ve been  more sensitive to the energy around you there may be a reason. Remember, whatever big event is coming up in the cosmos is usually felt a few days before (and after) it actually takes place. So if you’ve been feeling extra empathic and dreaming a lot lately, the full moon could be to blame (or Thank).

What can you expect during this time? 

Full moons naturally have an effect on Earth’s elements as well as everyone who inhabits Earth. During this time, the tides rise and humans (as well as animals) become more sensitive to the energies around them. However, this full moon’s energy will be on overdrive due to the partial lunar eclipse. This eclipse brings opportunity to reset and clear away. Prioritize what’s truly important to you and let go of what is no longer worth your time and energy. Although it may be intense, don’t resist the energy this full moon will bring. Instead, let it flow effortlessly and embrace it. Remind yourself that this is all a part of your journey. Allow the energy to assist you in your spiritual growth. 

What should we watch out for during this time? 

Try not to become too possessive with the people in your life. Always remember that people are not property, therefore, they are not yours to keep or try to “hold onto”. In addition, steer clear of doing any full moon rituals. You know I LOVE my moon rituals and will usually mention a favorite. However, due to the chaotic nature of eclipses, it is not advised to do rituals.

Full moon rituals?

Instead of a rituals, really sit with yourself and reflect on the lessons this full moon has for you and how you can incorporate these lessons into your life moving forward. Happy Full Moon! 🧿🌒♥

What is Grounding? 🌎✨

Grounding or “earthing” is the practice of attuning your body and energy to the Earth’s frequency. The Earth constantly vibrates at the frequency of 7.83 Hertz aka the “Schumann Resonance.” This frequency is created in the Earth’s electromagnetic field by the electrical interaction between the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere.

Top 3 Grounding Methods 🌲🌳🌲

Walking Barefoot

One of the easiest and best ways to ground is walking barefoot on the Earth. Letting your skin touch the ground is all that needs to happen. 

2. Tree Root Meditation

Get into a comfortable position sitting or standing.

Close your eyes and take 2 deep, mindful breaths. Consciously relax.

When you feel ready, set your intention to ground to the Earth. In your mind’s eye, visualize roots sprouting from the soles of your feet or the base of your spine and growing into the Earth. See the roots reaching the Earth’s core and wrapping around it.

Picture a golden energy emitting from the Earth’s core and radiating up the roots to reach you where you stand or sit.

Take a moment to feel the sensation of the Earth’s energy knowing you are connected with it.

3. Water

Interact with the element of water in whatever way is available to you. You can take a bath, wash your face, drink tea, or dip your feet in an ocean or stream.

Benefits of Grounding 📚

Research present suggests there is the potential to experience physical, emotional, and mental benefits from grounding.

A 2015 study proposes grounding may reduce inflammation and accelerate healing in a similar function as antioxidants.

In a 2018 study involving 16 massage therapists, grounding reduced pain and elevated mood.

A study in 2015 suggests one hour of grounding can improve mood more than relaxation alone.

Grounding is a fundamental part of a healthy spiritual practice. I ground during meditation, before and after spell work, and when I feel anxious or unbalanced. I would encourage you to give grounding a try and notice how you feel!

Grounding Techniques

Mental Distraction Techniques

Pick a category of objects and try to think of as many objects as possible that fit within that category (e.g., types of dogs, cities, types of trees, crayon colors, sports)

Pick a letter and think of emotionally positive or neutral words that begin with that letter

Pick a color and look for things of that color. Notice differences in their exact shades

Say or think the alphabet backwards or alternate letters and numbers (A1, B2, C3, D4, etc)

Count backwards from 100 by 3s, 6s, or 7s or count up by prime numbers or perfect squares

Play “fizz-buzz” with yourself. Begin counting to 100 (or over!), but replace any number that contains the number 5 or is a multiple of 5 with the word “fizz” and any number that contains the number 7 or is a multiple of 7 with the word “buzz.” For example, 1-15 would be “1, 2, 3, 4, fizz, 6, buzz, 8, 9, fizz, 11, 12, 13, buzz, fizz.” When you mess up, compliment yourself and start over

Think of the words to your favorite song or poem or think of facts related to a specific theme

Pick a word or your name and see how many other words you can make from the letters in it

Describe an every day event or process in great detail, listing all of the steps in order and as thoroughly as possible (e.g., how to cook a meal, how to get from your house to your place of work or school, how to do your favorite dance)

Read something technical or meant for children or read words backwards to focus on the process of reading and not the words

Watch a children’s television show or movie or watch cute or funny videos on Youtube; it might help to have a playlist already prepared for this

Look at a current news article that is not likely to be upsetting or distressing

Distract yourself with Tetris, Solitaire, Sudoku, word searches, or other puzzle games

Reorientation Techniques

Say or think to yourself: “My name is _________. I am safe right now. I am _____ years old. I am currently at _____________. The date is _____________. If I need help, I am with ________/can call _________. Everything is going to be alright.”

List reaffirming statements (“I am fine. Everything is going to be okay. I am strong. I can handle this.”)

Ask yourself where you are, what day of the week it is, what day of the month it is, what month it is, what year it is, what season it is, how old you are, and other present-focused questions

Notice things in your surroundings that indicate to you that you’re safe or that you’re in the present (e.g., locks on your door, electronics that didn’t exist when you were younger, the presence of trusted people, a phone so that you can call for help if you need it)

Describe your surroundings in detail, including sights (objects, textures, shapes, colors), sounds, smells, and temperature

Name five things that you see, four that you feel, three that you hear, and two that you smell or taste, and then name one good thing that you like about yourself

Pick four or five brightly colored objects that are easily visible and move your focus between them. Be sure to vary the order of your gaze and concentrate briefly on each one before moving to the next

Think about a fun time that you recently had with a friend or call that friend and ask them to talk about it with you

Sensory-Based Grounding Techniques

Run cool or warm (but not too cold or hot) water over your hands or take a cool or warm bath or shower

Spritz your face (with eyes closed), neck, arms, and hands with a fine water mist

Spray yourself with your favorite perfume and focus on the scent

Feel the weight of your body in your chair or on the floor and the weight of your clothing on your skin

Touch and hold objects around you. Compare the feel, weight, temperature, textures, colors, and materials

Keep a small object with you to touch or play with when you get triggered. Good examples include a smooth stone, a fidget toy, jewelry, or a tiny plushy

Bite into a lemon, orange, or lime, suck on a sour or minty candy or an ice cube, chew cinnamon-flavored gum, or put a few drops of Tabasco sauce on your tongue. Notice the flavor, scent, and texture

Eat something or drink warm tea, coffee, or hot chocolate, and describe to yourself the taste and texture in great detail

Place a cool wash cloth on your face or hold something cold like a can of soda

Listen to soothing or familiar music. If possible, dance to it

Hum, sing, recite poetry, or make up a silly poem or story as you go

Pick up a book and read the first paragraph out loud

Hug another person (if interpersonal touch isn’t a trigger). Pay attention to your own pressure and the physical sensations of doing so

Hug a tree! Register the smells of being outside, the wind, and the sights around you

Movement-Based Grounding Techniques

Breathe deeply and slowly and count your breaths

Grab tightly onto your chair or press your feet against the ground as firmly as you can

Rub your palms and clap your hands or wiggle your toes within your socks. Pay attention to the physical sensation of doing so

Stretch out your arms or legs, roll your head on your neck, or clench and unclench your fists

Stomp your feet, walk around, run, jump, ride a bike, do jumping jacks, or do yoga

While walking, notice each footstep and say to yourself “right” and “left” to correspond with the foot currently moving

Squeeze a pillow, stuffed animal, or ball

If you have a soft pet (dog or cat), brush its fur and stroke it. If you don’t, brush your own hair slowly and without pulling too much

Color in an adult coloring book, finger paint, or draw anything that comes to mind without worrying about quality

Write whatever comes to mind even if it’s nonsense. Try not to write about whatever is upsetting you until you’re more capable of doing so without increasing the upset

Write a list of things that make you happy or look for cheerful pictures to make into a collage

Pop bubble wrap or blow and pop actual bubbles

Dig in the dirt or garden, jump on a pile of leaves, or splash around in puddles or mud

Rip up paper or stomp on aluminum cans to crush them

Imagery Techniques

Picture yourself breathing in relaxation, calm, positive feelings, or strength. Picture yourself breathing out whatever is upsetting you. It may help to pair this with imagery of breathing in soothing colors (usually blue, purple, or green) and out more intense colors (usually red or black)

If you need to relax, envision a soothing white or golden light slowly moving up your body, warming and relaxing every part of you that it touches. You can also think of it as protecting you from negativity or from harm

If the problem is intense or uncomfortable emotions, physical sensations, or memories, picture them being surrounded and neutralized by a bright and healing light, temporarily placed in a mental box to be stored for later, or dialed back by an internal controller of intensity

If you have a clear mental picture of what’s upsetting you, mentally change it to something silly or harmless. If you’re a fan of Harry Potter, cast a mental “riddikulus” to banish the negativity

Picture yourself calm, focused, and able to tackle whatever problems you’re facing. Focus on how that would feel in the moment. What would your expression and posture be like? Make whatever changes you need to in order to make your reality reflect your goal

How to Make a Grounding Box

Get a box or basket

Personalize and decorate it with construction paper, wrapping paper, ribbon, stickers, drawings, paint, photographs, glitter, sequins, or anything else that you like

Keep within it:

A list of grounding techniques that you know work for you

A list of positive affirmations and happy memories

A list of the contact information of trusted friends or family who are willing to help and support you

Small sensory objects such as: scented candles, perfumes, or lotions; hard candies or gum; soft fabrics, a stress ball, a stuffed animal, or a fidget toy; happy pictures of you with friends; a CD with relaxing music or meditation tracks. Try to cover all of the senses

A list of possible distractions such as books to read or movies to watch

Small portable distractions such as a pack of playing cards, a small game, or a joke book

A list of comforting things to do such as taking a bubble bath, snuggling up in bed, or meditating

A small journal or notebook

In the Case of a Flashback

Tell yourself that you are having a flashback and are safe now

Remind yourself that the worst is over, and you survived it. What you’re feeling now is just a reminder of that trauma and does not fit the present moment

Remind yourself of when and where you are, who you’re currently with, and who you can contact if you need help (use the reorientation-focused grounding techniques)

Breathe deeply and slowly. Count your breathes and make sure that you’re getting enough air

Use other mental, sensory, movement, and imagery techniques in order to distract yourself, calm yourself, and reorient yourself within the present

If possible or necessary, go somewhere where you can be alone or with a close friend, where you will feel safe, or where you feel protected or shielded

If there is anyone who you can trust or who will support you, reach out to them, let them know what happened, and let them know what you need, what would be best for you, or what they could do to help

Be gentle with yourself and take the time to really recover. If what helps you to recover is to color, take a bubble bath, hug a stuffed animal, or watch a children’s movie and if it would not be disruptive to do such things at that point in time, embrace those options whole-heartedly

If possible, note or write down what triggered the flashback, what techniques you tried to use to disrupt the flashback, and what techniques helped

what you’ll need;

nutmeg

salt

crushed eggshell

red chili flakes

chili powder

nutmeg

🗡 just layer your jar up and make sure to keep your intentions in mind the whole time, i think this one’s pretty self explanatory <3 we’ve got nutmeg for grounding the spell and adding security to the area the jars in/person it’s on. salt, obvious reasons! eggshell for home protection, astral protection, protection protection, lol. all the chili is essentially for spooking things off, letting everything know this little jar means business, great at returning things that were headed your way. then some more nutmeg to top it off!
