No wrong ways to practice- Be true to yourself

It's easy to get caught up in the how-tos and what to do about practicing spirituality or witchcraft. And while yes, there are some basic foundations you should learn and have respect for the craft, I'm starting to realize just how personal spirituality and witchcraft can be.

There have been many many times in the past where I made myself feel inadequate because I didn't know as much as everyone else did or I would learn something I was doing was wrong according to someone else. I would change what I was doing to fit what others were doing or try to change how I was feeling based on how someone else was feeling about something. I found myself at a place where I was giving my power away to others. Others I thought were more insightful or more intelligent than me. What I found out is that each and every person is a unique individual whose practices and beliefs will all look different, and that is okay! It's okay to not fit into a mold. It's okay to believe in your own truths and what feels good to you. And it's okay to be different. Focus on yourself and how the things you are doing make you feel. Do they light you up and bring you excitement and joy? Are they tedious and complicated or make it hard for you to connect to and want to practice? Don't worry so much about the how-to as long as you work with good intentions. Work your own magic and let your soul shine! The universe responds well when we come from a place of fulfillment and gratitude. When we act with authenticity and purpose.

Being grateful for what we have and for whatever it is we are asking for. Being aware and mindful of ourselves and what we are putting out into the world. Follow your heart and what it says to you. Tune into that little voice inside yourself telling you exactly what you need. I started to learn that everything you do is extremely personal. It's all on a resonating level. It's fun to learn about the ways that other people practice and how it works for them, but I would have never learned my own way to do things if I just followed what everyone else was doing. It's all about integration and resonation.

Finding things that light you up and fill you with purpose. Finding your own truths. What feels right to you and integrating that into your life however you see fit. Each and every person on this earth has a different practice, something that feels good to them. If something feels good to you or feels right, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. I truly feel our intentions are what is the most important thing about being spiritual or practicing magic. As long as we have good intentions, what we are doing can't be wrong. Something that works great for one person may not work at all for another person, and that is okay! Find what works for you. It can be so much fun to learn and explore all the different ways you can connect with spirit and yourself. Work with what you got! If you don't have all this awesome cool gear to work with, don't sweat it! I find the best things you can work with are the things already available to us. Be open and willing to be flexible with yourself. Learn the basics and get innovative and find new ways you can do things that may be different but uniquely individual to you. And that just makes it even more special.

Our souls know exactly what we need and I choose to honor that and listen to what makes us feel nourished and aligned. Don't ever let someone else tell you how to believe, what to believe, or how to live your life. This is your chance to live true to you! So don't waste time wondering if what you are doing is the "right" way or the "best" way.

The magic truly lies in the journey. Find the things that excite you and make you want to practice even more. Find the magic in life and bring it in. Find the beauty in all the things around you. Learning in itself is an experience. Our souls are hungry for knowledge and experience. It is only in our nature to be curious, and we follow that. Get curious not only about yourself but the world around you and how everything is connected on all these different levels. It's amazing. Allow yourself to be amazed and live in the moment. Tapping into your child's energy of curiosity and excitement. This is what it means to live in alignment with God, Source, Soul, Universe, All, whatever you call it. Be confident in who you are, and what you believe. You are you, and you are the only one! Let me know your thoughts below! Until next time, Live in the now, love in the now!
