Spheres of influence
“When you want something, cast a spell for something; it does fill your own sphere. You send out fishing lines of energy to see if anyone responds and can help manifest this energy. It’s not like you took out a billboard on the side of Route 66; you are not recruiting for Amway. The energy of your spell is looking for a response and a way to manifest so it will test what and who you know first. Any intention you create needs the connection or influence of another body to manifest.
When you light a candle for love, you need another person to respond, or there is a lot of self loving going on in your sphere. Actually, you probably need a few other spheres of influence to introduce you to that new person.”
Page 14, Coventry Magic with Candles Herbs and Oils By Jacki Smith
When you start to look at (Or if you are a Virgo, you start to chart) all of your relationships you see how they influence you and through that influence can change the course of your life. Imagine if you will, you are a bubble and there are no pins or sharp edges anywhere around you. As a bubble, you are part of a bubble collective and there are bubble all around you. The bubbles that are closest to you put the most pressure on your surface area. If one of those bubbles changes color you reflect that color or even absorb it.

Here are my three favorites, Bach Flower Remedies in spray bottles and juice boxes, creating a Sacred Space at home and Homeopathy in your first aid kit. Bach Flower essences are fantastic ways to support behavior shifts in your children that are noninvasive, loving and nonjudgmental. Make up a spray bottle for each of the remedies your family seems to need and keep them handy. Place 5 drops of Bach flower essence into a spray bottle of distilled water and spray the room liberally when needed. Chicory is for children who are bickering or fighting over toys or for your little one who is constantly demanding attention and clingy. Spray a little Hornbeam around for the child who can’t seem to get motivated in the morning because the idea of going to school just exhausts them. Holly is for sibling rivalry and jealousy. Impatiens is for your overactive child who can’t seem to sit still. This remedy will help to slow junior down and get into bed and fall asleep. I also used reiki to ground and calm my kids and get them to fall asleep. Children who are bossy or a bully will chill and be more respectful and less harsh of others with a few drops of Vine Remedy in their juice box. Elm is for mom. A few drops of elm in your water will help you come back down to earth when the responsibility of being a working mom overwhelms you. You can get back into the day to day and let go of the focusing on the big picture to much. Wild Oat is for your teenager who is picking a direction in life and can’t seem to decide or is at a cross road. Give wild oat to your teenager when the prospect of making a life choice is to daunting. Separation anxiety? Aspen (the quaking leaf tree) helps your child settle down after a bad dream, and creates inner peace, security and fearlessness. Aspen helps them access their own courage and confidence. Setting up sacred spaces at home promotes a scream free zone and uninterrupted mommy or daddy time. We all need peace and quiet, but when the kids or partners are feeling that loss because you need some time to yourself, this daily practice will really help every member of the family feel love and supported while you are not available. The cone of divine silence: In the morning before the day starts, visualize your home in a beam of light shining down on your home from above and up from below. Invite the guardian angel of each member of the family to ground and center each of their people and walk with them all day. Invite Archangel Michael to protect the home and every member of the family from negative energy and release all attachments on you and your children that have accumulated throughout the day as everyone walks through the door at the end of their day. Ask the angels help your sacred space become a sanctuary for your family by clearing your home of any residual unhappy feelings left over from previous days and filling it with unconditional love. Renew this sacred space every morning before you get out of bed. You can support this loving energy by placing rose quarts around your home. A
list of Must have Homeopathic remedies for your first aid kit. Homeopathy is
very easy to administer to your children because it has a gentle almost sweet
taste. No screwed up faces and fighting to get them to take
this remedy. Remember to keep this and
all medicine out of the reach of children. You can find homeopathic remedies at the
health food store. You can get yourself
a book or follow the suggestions on the label.
