                             Weekly Positive Affirmation from My Magic Box

"I am good at waiting"

Weekly Reading (20/05/13)

Last weeks reading reminded us of the need to keep our thoughts positive!

For this weeks reading I have used the Life Purpose Deck from Doreen Virtue.

The first card is Leadership which is telling us that there is a need to take charge of a situation this week, whether its a particular challenge that you are facing or the route of your life path in general. The Angels are guiding you to be confident in taking control of your life. 

The guidance that the Angels are giving you to help take leadership is to Practice. As the old saying goes, Practice makes Perfect, and devoting a little time every day can help to perfect and polish the skills you have. If there is a skill, hobby or interest that you would like to be doing in your life, then now is the time to take charge and start practicing to turn your dreams into reality.

The Angels are encouraging you in the background by giving you little reminders that You`re on the Right Path. Dont doubt yourself, because the passion behind your dreams will help you to move forward. They will help with the action steps, you only need to follow the guidance, and they will help you to devote your time and energy to this endeavour.   

The outcome is beautiful Freedom. Free to do what you love doing, and free to express yourself in the way that is unique for you. Free to live the life you choose, and Free to make all the decisions because you are the one in charge of your own life. 

This a lovely reading, where you are being guided to be authentic and take charge of your hopes and dreams to bring them into reality through practicing your skills. The Affirmation from My Magic Box ties in very nicely with this, "I am good at waiting" reminds us that all experts start out as novices, and all flowers start out as a seed. When we have patience, we can nurture our dreams into reality.

RECIPE: Lentil & Sweet Potato Pie

This is basically an easy veggie shepherds pie- comfort food at its best and healthy too!

Ingredients: 

1 Onion or Leek (i prefer leek)

1 Garlic

2 Carrots chopped 

Carton of Chopped tomatoes

Can of Green Lentils

1 Veggie Stock Cube

1 tsp Thyme

2 sweet potatoes

2 normal potatoes

Gently fry the onion, garlic and carrot until softened.

Add tomatoes, lentils, stock cube and thyme and simmer until cooked.

(add some water while cooking if needed).

Put mixture into baking dish.

Boil all potatoes. Mash and put over the lentil mixture. This is perfect to bake as a vegan dish,

Bake in medium oven until it has a golden crust. 

Eat! Yum!

My Magic Box- "I always make good choices" (13/05/13)

                Weekly Positive Affirmation from My Magic Box

"I always make good choices"

Weekly Reading (13/05/13)

Last weeks reading was guiding us to have a declutter... of our physical surroundings, of the people in our lives who do not serve us, and of negative thoughts that do not help us.

For this weeks reading I have used a beautiful deck of cards given to me by a lovely Goddess angel reader called Maureen. They are called Healing Cards by Caroline Myss & Peter Occhiogrosso.
Im doing the same style of reading as last week.

There is a definite theme for this weeks reading which is to closely watch your thoughts and words.

The first card indicates the challenge right now, which is to be watchful of being positive in all that you say and do. The card states- Know that each of your thoughts and deeds has the power to heal you, and those around you, so watch them closely. This card is a reminder that you perhaps havent been paying attention to your thoughts lately, or that a negative thought pattern has taken over. 

The second card gives guidance on what you should do to help this, and the angels are telling you make a point of only speaking positive words. Not only to reestablish the good habit of positive talk, but also to take note of whether you are currently finding it difficult to maintain a positive attitude. It is easy to get into the habit of repeating those negative words that you have been told throughout your lifetime. Just take note of the negative thoughts and words you have, and turn them around into positive affirmations. 

The third card is what help the angels are giving and what is happening in the background to help with the challenge, and you are being nudged and reminded to be mindful of feeding your spirit with self-respect and self-love, allowing only positive thoughts and feelings to enter your being. 

The last card is the outcome, and this beautiful card is the first ever card that I pulled from this deck and was delighted because it reminded me so much of myself and Harmony. This card indicates a lovely outcome of feeling joy and positivity, being reminded of the reason for your being on earth- to experience the joy of feeling alive! A lovely follow on from last weeks positive affirmation from My Magic Box which was I am free to enjoy life. So, really its continuing the decluttering from last week but focusing mainly on removing those negative thought patterns and replacing them with positive ones! 

Much Love & Light, Debbie xo

My Magic Box- "I am free to enjoy life" (06/05/13)

               Weekly Positive Affirmation from My Magic Box

"I am free to enjoy life" 

Weekly Reading (06/05/13)

This week, Im using Doreen Virtues Archangel Oracle Cards. 

I have decided this week to do the Weekly Reading a bit differently.
I am doing a 4 card spread in the same format that I would take during a personal reading session (I normally start with 8 during a personal reading).

The first card indicates the situation, the focus for the week- the issue/challenge ahead..
The second card is the guidance to follow in overcoming the challenge..
The third card is what the Angels will be helping with/what will be happening in the background to help things along..
The fourth card is the outcome, and I always ask for the best outcome from every situation..

The first card for this week is Patience. This card indicates some impatience with what is happening in your life right now, you are wanting things to happen a little faster than they are. You have perhaps forgotten that when you plant a seed, it needs time to grow, so whatever your situation is- a new idea or some kind of change, you are feeling a bit disconnected from the natural process of change because you want it to happen quickly. The Archangel Jophiel is very dominant throughout this whole reading, and is the feminine energy who helps us with our inner world of intuition, clairvoyance, mainfestation and beauty. She is reminding you to nurture your ideas and thoughts with positivity and she is helping to manifest your dream into reality.

The second card is Clear Your Space. Clearing your space can be both in a physical sense and an emotional/mindful one. Both these actions will greatly contribute to helping things to move and change. When you declutter your home, you are clearing out the energy within your living space and creating space for fresh energy to move through your home- blowing the cobwebs away so to speak. Ask the Archangel Jophiel to help with this as she is the Feng Shui angel who can help your surroundings to feel more beautiful. The angels are also guiding you to clear your mind from any negative thinking that does not help you, try to stay positive throughout these changes because panicking and worrying about it is like praying for the negative to happen. It is also important right now to clear your emotional space by letting those people who hinder or drain you or do not inspire you, to leave your life. The more positive and self-assured you are, the more positive like-minded people you will attract into your life, and those energy vampires will automatically fade away. 

The third card is Spritual Understanding with Archangel Raziel, a masculine energy who is helping you to gain a deeper understanding of your current situation through your dreams and through signs & symbols in your physical and psychic awareness. Raziel is encouraging you to keep an open mind and to let go of limiting thoughts, to help raise your understanding to a higher level. He is also helping to uncover truths and secrets. This will all help with giving you inner peace and helping you to feel more patient. 

The fourth card is Outdoors. This is a lovely outcome with Jophiel again, where you will feel  more connected to your natural and creative ideas. You will feel a breath of fresh air being blown into the situation especially after a full decluttering of your physical and emotional world. Jophiel has helped you to clear away lower energies from your home and your person. As you connect to the natural rhythms of the universe you will automatically feel less stressed and impatient. 


This reading rings very true for me right now, and I had already started a major decluttering of the house, phew! I have been feeling a little impatient to know where I would possibly like to move house to, so I felt the urge to have a good clear out and this reading has given me reassurance that my decluttering should help me to reconnect to my intuition and have some patience until I fully understand where im supposed to be, and until the changes happen exactly as and when they are supposed to. :)

Much Love & Light, Debbie xo
