6 Quick Energy Tips for Busy People

6 Quick Energy Tips for Busy People

When energy levels dip, try these simple tips to recharge your  batteries. They’re quick, easy and will help you breeze through the most hectic  day!
  1. Dry-brush your body before you step into the shower. This  invigorates skin and sloughs off dead cells. Use a citrus-infused body wash. You  will hum your way through the morning.
  2. Raise a (whole wheat) toast to breakfast! It gives you  fiber, which regulates digestion and keeps energy levels up. Also, try to  combine proteins and carbs for breakfast. Oatmeal, egg and fruit will get your  engine chugging merrily.
  3. Keep rosemary essential oil handy. It’s one of the most  energizing oils. If you sprinkle a few drops of it on a clean handkerchief and  take a few deep breaths, you’ll feel instantly recharged.
  4. Sip green or white tea instead of coffee. They are low in  caffeine, detoxify the body and leave you feeling genuinely refreshed.
  5. Craving carbs? Go ahead and enjoy them, but make sure you  balance them with something that’s good for you. So, have your pasta, but do  order a garden salad alongside.
  6. Try this simple exercise while sitting at your desk: Put  your forearms on the table and rest your forehead on your hands. Breathe out  fully. Breathe in again, easily, gently lifting up your head. Now exhale,  tucking your chin and easing yourself back to arms on forehead. Repeat till you  start feeling revitalized.

 

Daily Devotions

Daily Devotions

The most common times to perform sacred devotions are:

Upon rising
Noon
Sunset
Before sleep
Before meals
Before a magickal working
Before a ritual
OR simply, when you feel the time is right

Although for many people it is not possible to spend hours a day on daily devotions, on the other hand they are not a quick kneel, blab a quick verse and then race off. Brief they may be but must include enough time for you to ground, centre, perform the devotion, ground and centre again.

These are some suggestions for grounding yourself:

A. Place palms of hands flat down on the floor or ground and visualize the energy flowing into the earth.
B. Imagine the energy draining from your body, through your feet and into the earth.
C. Send the excess energy into the Universe for peace, or healing, or to form a reservoir of positive energy for the Good of All.
D. Send the excess energy into your tools or into your altar.
E. Hold a piece of hematite in your hand.
F. Run cold water over your hands.
G. Eat or drink something.

Remember, a devotion should always raise your energy level and leave you feeling refreshed.
