Self-Love Potion

Spiritual wellness is incredibly important to me. Even years after being removed from the church, I maintain many practices in my life. So for this, I would first like to -preface that the word potion may divide readers.

Awesome. Get over it and read the rest of the post.

Just kidding, please understand that this particular habit is something that can be done by anybody. I find witchcraft all over the bible... it's faith; it's stating intention; it's making an offering to the universe (God) so that a blessing can be delivered.

Humans actually worship themselves. Individuals are in charge of their lives... not some random deity pulling the strings in a silly game created to only finish in destruction. That is quite sad to consider. I believe religious writings are much like Gulliver's Travels, The Illiad, Canterbury Tales, and any other hero arc type stories.

We can find light in dark times when we can find relatability in others. To feel less alone is to feel more loved. I will always find healing in an autobiography, for the people who write them are embarking on a healing process by sharing their story. There are extraordinary people in this world.

You are one of them.

To the point:

I often make self-love potions when I am battling with depression and anxiety. Yes... I go through things and this process is how I keep everyone from knowing.

How do you know a Self Love Potion is needed?

Checking in on the rhythm of your life is a good way to indicate if there is an imbalance of outgoing and incoming energy. A simple review of your schedule if you have deprioritized yourself in your life. If you feel overworked, tired all the time, never satisfied, unable to feel joy... make a potion

Have you just left a relationship? That's enough...it doesn't have to be a toxic relationship (though it usually is), but it does have to be ending. Often relationships keep us from progressing because it requires the other person to grow alongside us. It is uncommon that two people are at the same trajectory at the same time... when unequally matched. Therefore, leaving a relationship leaves a gap in energy in one's life that could too easily be filled with unhealthy habits. So make a potion

Feeling stuck or confused about your future? A disconnect with purpose often leads to trauma or feeling like an imposter. That disconnect is easily remedied by directing focus back to self. This is why we make a potion.

What is in the Potion?

Honey

Rose Petals

Love

How do you brew a Self Love Potion?

Timing is everything. I prefer to do moon cycles. Depending on when you set the potion to brew, it will take 30 days to be completed.

Often the full moon offers significance, and each full moon brings in a different energy or season. Research what is going on with the moon before beginning the brew. Maybe you want to go from New Moon to Full Moon. I do recommend full moon to full moon.

Need a Program?

Friday for some reason. It's "Love Day" according to Moon Mother Apothecary, from whom I learned this recipe. Pick up all your apothecary needs there.

Combine the ingredients in a jar or vial. I recommend cleansing the energy of the glass with salt and water before hand. Seal it.

Over the course of the next month perform routinely acts of self-care. Everytime you pour into yourself, have the jar nearby. Remember to touch the jar, and mix the contents by turning the jar over a few times.

This is an active brew.

Love doesn't hide out in a dark corner untouched.

Every single day of the brewing, it is important to do minimum one thing for yourself. It can be shopping, getting a pedicure, or trying out a new healthy recipe. Put the potion in your gym bag and have it nearby as you work out. Lock the door when you use the bathroom and let the kids bang on the door without guilt...

Get the picture?

Then what?

After the potion has been brewed, now is the best part! We are literally ingesting our love.

A spoonful of the Self Love Potion can be mixed with hot water to make a delicious tea.

It could be spread on a piece of toast

Strain the roses and mix a bit into your favorite shea butter to make a homemade salve.

Just dip your finger in the jar and take a moment for a sweet treat.

Most importantly, 21 days of consistency creates habits. Therefore, from the beginning of the brew you will have been creating the habit of pouring back into yourself. Those habits are here to stay!

Everytime the potion is ingested, affirmations should be said... or perhaps it's done during one of the self-care habits. The potion is a reminder how good it is to pour into yourself.

Boom!

Self-Love Potions can be made at any time. There isn't a limit to how many times one should remind themself that they are loved.

Remember, to attract love and prosperity in one's life, one must first attract themself. If we never take the time to build where we are weak, we never become strong. A sense of purpose is an important element in wanting to be stronger.

It's normal to not feel loved sometimes.

It's NOT normal to not love yourself.

So try it, and chat with me about how it goes...
