Hello everyone hope you all had a great day, sorry for the late post I have been out enjoying the beautiful weather. Today we aare going to talk about how to create your ideal speeping area. Most of us have alot going on in our bedrooms. I know I do, my bedroom is pretty much the room I spend most of my time in. Right now I am sharing a 2 bedroom apartment with my grandmother & we clash big time, her being  Taurus & me an Aries…its just like a Ram & Bull fighting. So I tend to stay in my bedroom and away from her as much as I can. Anyway back to the post. Sometimes slipping into sleep when you really need to si made alot easier by subtly changing the way you use your room.

The way you use your bedroom can have a huge effect on your ability to get a good night’s sleep. Your bedroom is your sanctuary — a calm and relaxing place. It’s a place that since childhood, he have been able to relax & be ourselves. If you are like me and share a smallt apartment or living space, then you most likely use your bedroom for entertaining guests, studying, working and eating, as well as sleeping.. In this case you may find it hard to psychologically switch off at bedtime. If you find this happening to you, you need to train your body to associate your bed with sleep.  Get into bed only when you are really tired & on the verge of falling asleep. If you feel like reading or watching tv, relax in a chair or even on cushions on the floor rather then sitting in bed.

Be sure to come back tomorrow to learn how to creat the perfect setting for sleep. If you have any questions feel free to email us at miraclesnmagic@comcast.net.

Hey everyone hope your all having a great day, today we are going to talk about the precious gem most associated with October; the mystical, magical and quite beautiful opal.

This jewel carries the dual qualities of being able to both absorb and reflect! In fact, it’s believed that whoever wears the opal will be offered opportunities for personal and powerful transformation. The opal is also believed to enhance your self-confidence, self-worth and self-esteem while also allowing an innate knowing of how to reach for and appreciate your fullest potential.

Since the opal is also known to amplify, it asks that when you wear it that you consciously and intentionally send out positive thoughts and vibrations. And since opal is also considered a karmic stone, it’s also believed to bring all of those lovely vibes right back to you!

Of all the precious gems, opal is thought to be the one that is the most effective in treating poor health, as it’s said to strengthen the immune system while making the body resistant to infections. Some schools of thought also believe the opal entirely effective when treating or addressing cases of chemical dependency, as it’s said to be able to gift the wearer with the ability to take back control of their lives.

A lot of importance has been placed on this one little stone down through the ages. If you know someone who celebrates a birthday this month, the best and biggest gift you can give are all the excellent energies inherent in this precious gem.

Add a few drops to the water of your final hair rinse or sprinkle some onto your hairbrush, to prevent dandruff.

To treat minor cuts, bites, strains & bruises add a few drops of lavender oil to a bowl of water, soak a cloth & press it over the affected area.

Treat sore spots & pimples by dabbing them with Lavender oil every morning & every night until gone.

For dull & oily hair you can make an after-shampoo rinse; you will need a bottle of mineral water, a few drops of lavender oil & fresh lemon juice. Leace to infuse 30 minutes before using.

Ease Your Period Pains
The relaxing, anti-inflammatory & pain-relieving properties of Lavender make it ideal for easing both the physcial & mental menstrual porblems. I use it every month & it is my favorite cure. It works wonders!!!

To relieve period pain, gently massage the lower part of your back & your stomach with diluted lavender oil. This will also balance your spirits.

Combine 3 drops of lavender, 3 drops of Roman chamomile & 30ml carrier oil & dab on the pulse points in the days leading up to your period, to aviod the emotional symptoms of PMS. The calming, soothing smell of this combination will help to regulate your hormonal system.

Hello everyone hope you are all having a good day. I can’t believe its October already, this year has gone by so fast. Today we are going to talk about lavender & for the next few days we will discuss differnet ways that you can use lavender.

Many people know lavender for its calming scent, but it is so much more than that, it can also soothe & heal an amazing vaeirty of ailments. Its dreamy fragrance has made it popular in perfumes for many centuries. This gentle herb also has powerful harmonizing properties, it is actually one of my favorite herbs and I use it alot for many different things.

The leaves, flowers & seeds have a soft, sweet scent with a slight woody undertone. Oil is extracted from its flowers. This oil can be used in the bathroom, pour a few drops into your bath to relax your mind & muscles after a hard day’s work. Lavender oil is also good for your skin & hair.

Lavender oil can also be used to treat troubles of the heart & mind. It is widely used by herbalists & aromatherapists to treat depression, but its healing properties also run to pain relief of a more physical kind. When used as a massage oil, lavender relaxes muscles & eases tension. Its strong antiseptic properties effectively heal conditions, like acne or sunburn.

Hello everyone, hope you all have a great day. I promised a good friend that I would help him out and promote his show for him, considering all that he has done for me this past week, its the least I can do for him. He is a really great DJ for Dyhard Radio, an online radio station. His show is called Metal from Milan, and yes he is really from Milan, and it airs from 4pm – 9pm EST. Be sure to check him out, you won’t regret it.

Today’s post is going to be a little different although it does fit with the content of this blog, having to do with Feng Shui & also being Wiccan I am all for making the world a better place, that being said, why not start October, by going green.

 While you light the way for a peaceful seasonal transition, into fall, copy old Mother Nature herself. Bring down the brightness in your home and ease your way into autumn by swapping the higher wattage bulbs in your lamps and overhead for lower ones. Whenever possible, use side lighting or lamps instead of overhead lighting. Your internal energies will adjust, and this tip will have you charged and ready for a fabulous fall in no time at all!

Hey everyone hope you are all have a great day. Sorry for the late post today, had to go be girly… got my nails done. Nothing like just sitting there relaxing & being pampered to make you feel better. Today we are going to talk about another way you can pamper yourself, in a sense. This is a great way to help you get through allergy season.

Ambers and orange, gold and scarlet leaves cloak the tree and set the hills ablaze. But even though there is natural beauty afoot, changing leaves can leave you with seasonal allergies as well. If you shed as many tears as the leaves fall, then you may want to try a simple therapy from the world of aromatherapy.

Add 10 drops eucalyptus oil 

6 drops true lavender oil 

6 of chamomile in a bowl of distilled and steaming water.

Diffused into your immediate environment, this synergistic blend should stop the wheezing and the sneezing — and even help the crying as well. No more tears

Love Spells

Hey everyone hope you are all having a good day. My morning has been very stressful, been on the phone trying to fix a problem with my computer, finally go it solved. Anyway today I am going to give you a couple simple love spells.

Casting love spells isn’t about turning frogs into handsome young men. Its also not about simply picking Mr. Right and making him fall hopelessly in love with you. Instead real love magic will help you to focus on the qualities you would like to attract. The right person — whoever it may be — will then come to you.

Love magic should not be used to bend someone else to your will or coerce them without their knowledge or consent. If you bear this in mind when weaving your spells, you can be sure that your partner you find is truly destined to be your soulmate.

And now for the spells:

A Candle Spell To Attract Love

To attract a new lover into your life, you will need the following items:

A pink candle
Lavender, neroli and/or ylang ylang
A sheet of pink paper

1) When you want to attract a new lover into your life, make a list of the ideal qualities on the sheet of pink paper. Don’t name a specific person, however, even if you do have a dream lover in mind. Be careful how you word your list — a rich handsome lover may not necessarily treat you the way you want to be treated.

2) Mix together sensual essential oils such as lavender, neroli & ylang ylang and rub them into a pink candle. Place the candle over the piece of paper that you wrote your desired partner’s qualities.

3) Light the candle every evening, starting on a Friday when the Moon is nearly full. For a minute or so, think of the kind of person you would like to attract.

4) While you wait for your lover to appear keep healthy, stay happy & be patient. Your wishes can take time to reach the man of your dreams but if its going to be good, its certainly worth waiting for.

A Full Moon Spell For Love

When the moon is full it is at the height of its powers. This is an excellent time to perform love spells concerning fulfillment & abundance.

You will need the following items:
1 red apple
Pink and/or red rose petals
Red pen
Knife
Large sheet of pink paper
Red ribbon

Red and pink are the colors of love. Use these in your spell to guarantee the best results.

1) As in the first spell write down the on the pink paper the characteristics you’re looking for in your ideal love match.

2) Hold your apple up to the Moon and say “Lady Moon of the sky above, grant my wish & send me love.”

3) Take the knife & use it to carve into the apple 2 hearts touching.

4) Sprinkle the rose petals over the paper & use it to wrap them & the apple up, with you writing on the inside.

5) Bind the package with the ribbon, knotting it 3x as you speak your wish aloud.

6) Take the package to a natural place such as a park or the woods. Bow to the Moon 3x as you walk away. You will soon fnd the love you desire.

Note: There is more than 1 kind of love. Be careful to choose the right spell ingredients for the kind of relationship that you are hoping to initate.

Natural Forms of Quartz

Hello everyone hope you all have a great day, another beautiful day here. Today we are going to finish up talking about crystal quartz. Did you know that the word quartz came from the Old Saxon querklufterz which means “cross-vein ore.”

Natural pieces of quartz crystal display characteristic cracks especially in larger specimens. Perfectly clear spheres or crystals with no imperfections at all are likely to be just ordinary glass instead of real quartz crystal.

So make sure you take a close look at the fairground gazer’s ball before you pay her because there is a chance that she could be faking it and you don’t want to lose your hard earned money, especially with the economy as it is today.

Well that’s all on quartz be sure to come back tomorrow for another exciting post. If you have any questions feel free to email us at miraclesnmagic@comcast.
