The Power of Affirmations

Hello, Cherubs!

I wanted to talk to you about affirmations! We have seen so much about them in social media, or when we listen to or read articles and posts from our favourite spiritual writers and teachers, but what are they? What can they do? How can they help us? Louise Hay has created decks of cards about them, but if you don’t know what they are they and what they can do for you, you can’t understand their full potential and the benefits you can receive.

An affirmation is a tool that we can use to uplift ourselves in any given moment because affirmations can create positive energy. We can use an affirmation to set our intention to the Universe, to Source, in the here and now. Affirmations tend to start with the words “I am” and these words put together in this order are extremely powerful. You are saying this is who you are and the energy behind those two words reverbrates throughout all directions of time and space, and the Universe hears you. It responds to you, and replies back. That’s why they are so powerful.

The key with affirmations is to trust, and to believe. You are affirming in the here and now, but you are affirming for your future self, not for the you of now nor your past self. You are trusting that the Universe has already provided what you have intended. You are believing in you and your power as well as in the power of the Universe in that it has already provided to you. 

In a way, the Universe has. Instantly. Time is not linear for the Universe as it is for us, here on Earth as a third dimensional being. As soon as we think it, hear it or say it, it is manifested. It is a physical entity with its own vibration of energy, but it may take some time for us to receive the manifestation. It is why trust and belief are so important, and why affirmations should be affirmed in the positive. 

When you start to peel back the layers, you can see why affirmations are also linked to and are key to the Law of Attraction.

Law of Attraction? In the simplest of terms, this is where your thoughts become things. What you think, say or hear will literally manifest itself into being. You have to take care and be mindful of your thought processes and inner dialogue. Judging of yourself, of others, berating yourself or listening tonypur ego, will drag down your vibrational frequency. 

By being aware of your internal voice and inner dialogue, you can learn whose voice is doing the talking, and which one you are listening to. It sounds crazy, I know, but everyone “hears” voices (internally). There’s the ego voice, loud and intrusive, always saying “no, you can’t,” and the soul’s voice. I use questions such as ‘is this my voice?’ or ‘does this belong to me?’, and I will feel (your body is your greatest tool for detecting truth) whether this is something I am saying, been told/believed by another or my ego is saying. If it is not my voice, I will repeat the phrase ‘return to sender, with love,’ and I have been known to tell my ego to litterally shut up and be quiet, because it is not my voice. My voice is my soul speaking, and souls always speak to us with love and compassion. They are the gentle voice of encouragement that whispers softly to us “yes, you can.” 

This is why affirmations are always used in the positive, not in the negative, and are so uplifting. I find affirmations to be inspirational and a great source of empowerment.

Here are my basic morning affirmations. I add to them when I am guided to.

It is for all these reasons that I began to start my day with affirmations. Above are what I call my basic affirmations. They are part amd parcel of my morning routine, something I keep simple in this respect; I get up and go to my  bathroom mirror. I make sure I look myself in the eye, bed hair, morning breath and all, and say “I love you, Jewel” (an amazing but tough lesson from Louise Hay). Then I begin my affirmations, out loud or in my head (depending on if my love is awake or not) it doesn’t matter, all the while maintaining eye contact with myself in the mirror. Eye contact matters to me. Sometimes, I stick to only these, other mornings I will add to them as I feel guided to.

With this routine, I am saying to the Universe, and to myself; today is going to be a great day. That is my intention behind these affirmations, and I trust, I believe, that my day will be. 

I hope this helps you to understand affirmations, and how you can use them. But I hope, more than anything, that you will be inspired to create your own.

Blessings,

Jewel 💖

Smoothie Recipes 

Hello Cherubs! 

As promised, here are my red and green smoothie recipes I discussed in January’s e-newsletter!

Red Smoothie Recipe 
Add a handful of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, spinach and a whole banana to your blender. Then add 1 scoop of the Organic Berry Complex. Pour in 200-300ml filtered water (I use coconut water when I can as a treat). Pulse until you reach the consistency you love, pour into your favourite glass and enjoy!

Green Smoothie 
Add a handful of spinach and kale to your blender. Add a whole apple with just the stalk removed and some diced pineapple. Add fresh ginger, peeled and about 1/4-1/2 an inch thick or to your taste and the juice of half a lemon. Add 200-300ml filtered water, cover with lid and pulse until you reach the consistency you love, pour into your favourite glass and enjoy! 

You can use frozen fruits where possible for either of these recipes. I like to use them instead of ice on warmer days, and they are a budgeter’s dream if pennies are a little tight. 

You can also add raw (unpasteurised) honey and a half teaspoon of cinnamon to either smoothie recipe. I do this when the cold and flu season is upon us and in full swing, or I’m feeling a little bit run down after a long week. 

When I fancy something different and refreshing in the summer, I have a lovely tropical smoothie that I whip up with frozen mango and pineapple, fresh kiwis and freshly squeezed lime juice! 

Enjoy!

Chakra Cleanse

I was christening my new deck of Flower Therapy oracle cards (sent and signed by the gorgeous Robert Reeves) and as I was asking the angels what guidance was needed, this card jumped right out! You can’t ignore signs like that!

The message they gave me was this: to help cope with the coming festivities, ensure that you cleanse and balance your chakras. Chakras are energy centres within your body and when we worry or get stressed, they can become clogged up and are unable to spin as they should and can become enlarged or shrink. This impacts the energies that we receive from Source and Mother Earth, and the guidance and signs we receive from our angels and guides. 

A crystal such as clear quartz help to cleanse our chakras, as does the white rose, and crystals such as fluorite, amethyst, citrine will help balance them.

Even the energy from this lotus card will help bring your chakras back into balance as you let your gaze rest upon it. Ask for its healing energy, and for Archangels Raphael and Michael, to come forward and shift away all your worries and stresses, lifting them away to leave you feeling light and bright and ready for the fun to be had.

Brightest blessings, Cherubs!

Hello! I’m Jewel, and it’s my pleasure to meet you!

Let me start by asking you this question, how can I help you?

  • What is it that you are looking for by searching the internet?
  • Are you looking for answers?
  • Are you looking for a new direction for you to take your life in?
  • Are you confused and need some clarification?

Readings are a complicated thing. The intention behind the reading, yours and mine, has to be clear within ourselves, and your question or request for help needs to be true to you. Yes, readings do contain warnings, a pinch of fortune telling, but not what you think, or how readings are portrayed in movies or other media outlets.

Readings are about what you need, as the deck of cards is used as a communication tool for your guides (or angels) to speak to my guides, with the information revealed to me just as I start to turn the cards over. I’ve learned that the cards will always give you what you need, not necessarily what you want to hear or see.

That’s my motive every time I pick up a deck of cards; be they tarot, angel or another form of oracle cards. Honesty is required on both sides; you as the questioner, me as the reader. It’s an exchange, between guides, between us.

  • What do you need to do to be happier?
  • What do you need to release, forgive and let go of to be happier?
  • Is it a situation that holds you back, or a person?
  • Does your job satisfy you still, or is now the time to shake things up and head down a new career path?
  • Is your health affected by stress, are your relationships fulfilling your heart?

These are just some of the questions I have asked over my years of service. The decks of cards that I use help to hone in on the answers you are looking for, and even the ones you didn’t know to ask for.

Yes, that lends a hand to the mystery behind divination tools such as tarot, but that’s part of the fun, the charm and the enchantment.

Blessings,
– Jewel
