Balancing Magic & Money

I actually took this photo myself!

Happy Monday! Monday is actually one of my favorite days of the week. It's a time for a fresh new start; a chance to try again and do things better than before. Monday is usually my most productive day. I'm extra motivated to get things done and either start or work on new projects. As for this blog, I noticed that my most popular topic is personal finances. So this week, I'm going to dive right into how I blend the limitless power of the Universe with the everyday reality of finances.

Sacred Glow Peruvian Mystic Boutique is all about spiritual well-being and practical knowledge. In order to be successful, we must have a little bit of both. What can abundance do for someone who does not use it wisely? What can a simple budget do for someone who does not attract more money? Well, I can tell you for both, that they'd be stuck in an endless loop of lack. The lack mentality, otherwise known as the scarcity mindset, is a set of self-limiting beliefs. This is when your energy is not aligned with financial abundance. These feelings of distrust, fear, close-mindedness... all block growth and abundance. My mission is to help my readers release these inner blocks so that money, magic, and self-worth can flow freely in their lives.

For most of my life, I have firmly believed in the power of manifestation. Not knowing what to call it, I just thought of it as "attracting good things." Over the years, this has grown into a staunch conviction that manifestation is real. Anyone can manifest their goals into reality. I know this because I did it myself. I was born into a working-class home. I didn't come from material wealth, but I never lacked love. In our family, there was an unwavering dedication to education, integrity, and work ethic. Belief is half of the manifestation process; hard work is the other half.

Not convinced that magic is real? Perhaps you've heard of the famous book, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Although he never explicitly uses the word "magic," I know that that's exactly what he is talking about. Basically, the book states that your thoughts and mindset shape your financial reality. Sound familiar? Financial success flows naturally from having definite goals, belief in yourself, and purposeful actions. Attune yourself to the frequency of wealth, align your energy with that of financial abundance, and see the very real benefits.

Wealth did not come to me just by wishing for it. I can honestly say that I have everything I need, but I cannot say that I'm filthy rich (because I'm not). Instead, I learned how to earn every dollar ethically, budget, save, and ultimately, invest. I got myself through college and law school with scholarships, and then I secured a well-paying job. Fortunately, I was fired from that job (and a few other jobs). I say "fortunately" because everything that seemed like a failure back then, now seems like just another step towards success and true abundance. Now, my main job and my side jobs sustain me financially, mentally, and emotionally. And that is something that I wish for everybody, although I know how difficult the job market in the United States is right now. But it won't be difficult forever, I promise.

Curious about getting started with manifesting wealth? Below are a few practical ways.

1. Visualize Abundance: Know exactly what you want, and define it.

2. Mindset of Abundance: Focus on opportunities and be grateful.

3. Daily Rituals: Think good habits like writing affirmations, journaling, and meditation.

4. Taking Action: Take intentional steps towards your goals. Combining intention with aligned efforts inevitably leads to materialization. Manifestation isn't passive, but your income can be!

5. Protect your Energy: Your environment needs to reflect your values. Don't waste money on empty thrills or try to get cheap dopamine hits. Your body is a sacred vessel; treat it like that. Associate yourself with like-minded individuals, set boundaries, and always put yourself first.

6. Education: Not just formal schooling, but also learning a new skill, a trade, or just staying up-to-date with technology. Work your way up.

7. Be Resourceful: There are so many tools out there that you can use to amplify your intention. For example, I light a green candle almost every day to remind myself that there is a vast supply of money out there, up for grabs.

8. Belief: Don't give up hope just because you don't see instant results. They will come.

9. Gratitude: Always be thankful for your blessings.

For me, this meant doing the hard work and trusting the process. While I was unemployed, I knew that I had to keep looking for a job. I was desperate and ultimately, I found the ideal job for me. Not only did it pay well, but I'm very happy here! I am content with clocking in every Monday, because this is what was meant for me. You will find what is meant for you, too.

I leave you with this: Trust the Universe, and trust yourself. The Universe is unlimited in its power and you are a powerful energetic being. Harness your magic and look out for all the positive outcomes the Universe will bless you with. Remember, it's not just about the money in your bank account. You could lose it all overnight. But what you will never lose is your belief in yourself and that you can go out there and make more money. Your worth is not defined by numbers. Believe in your self-worth.
