How to Catch a String of Good Luck

You don’t need to grow long nails to pick a string of luck from destiny’s ball of yarn. Rather, a few choice words and some ingenuity will create your own.

From string quartets to string cheese, humankind has given it a go. But a string of good luck is a tricky thing. Unable to be seen, only felt on an intuitive level, good luck is like the wind. Sensing its existence and general direction is the first part of calling it into your trajectory. Opening your heart and becoming receptive to its energies is the last.

Sense & Direction
Through the use of affirmations we can strengthen our intuition. Keeping them simple and in the present tense helps them travel to the subconscious mind. Here is one geared towards good fortune and guidance which you can use prior to the chant below:
Now, I intuitively take the most beneficial path.

Heart’s Receptivity
The secret of receptivity lies within our wish. As our heart’s desire beats, karma swirls from it, flowing in the universe, and then returns. Imagery and compassion towards others help to direct this force properly. Put this philosophy into action. After you are finished with the chant below, say:
String of good luck, at the end of your visit I pass you forward to another worthy person in need. Thank you in advance for your help.

(For this exercise you will need a piece of paper, something to write with, cinnamon, a yellow or lavender candle, and a plate to burn it on.)

Imagery
Before you begin, here is a thought to set your mood: Imagine that you are a child trying to catch a butterfly. Running through the grass your gaze is fixed upward on its blue fluorescent wings. You jump here and there to catch it as it moves along at the whim of the wind. When you are tired, you lay down to catch your breath. You see a myriad of forms in the clouds passing by overhead: a castle, a brilliant white unicorn, a cluster of fluffy hearts. Time is tired too. For the moment, Nature's only clock is a slow-moving, but determined caterpillar inching its way beside you. Pastel petals follow yet another clock. They float lazily in the sun’s rays taking on the appearance of magical faeries. The cycle is complete when the butterfly lands on you.

On the piece of paper write the words ‘a string of good luck’ in the shape of a clockwise spiral. Place the plate on top of it and set your candle on the plate. Sprinkle a little cinnamon (associated with the sun and good luck) over the candle and then light it. Chant six times:

Sleight of hand, twist of fate
String of good luck spiral shaped
Once unseen, twice revealed
Into my life your power sealed.

Let the candle burn out naturally. Keep or burn the paper. Either way, your intent has already been spoken to the cosmos.

To all who follow my blog and read this text,
when my string of good luck is done may it visit you next. ~ L. Leo

The Secret Room of the Eternal Lotus

Water Lilies by Claude Monet

“Do not go to the garden of flowers!

O friend! Go not there;

In your body is the garden of flowers.

Take your seat on the thousand petals of the

Lotus, and there gaze on the infinite beauty.”

~ Kabir (Indian mystic and philosopher)

An incorruptible space exists within us. It can remain balanced and filled with goodness even as the world we live in becomes lopsided with cruelty, responsible for broken hearts, and obsessed with money-making. Illuminated by the soul’s sacred flame, this place of wisdom and innocence emanates peace and refreshes the mind. I call this space The Secret Room of the Eternal Lotus.

It is a challenge to find the Secret Room because it operates on a level unknown to our conscious mind. But it is accessible through deep meditation and the Buddha’s vibrations match it: love, peace and enlightenment. Other Ascended Masters, Gods, Goddesses and entities are attuned to the Secret Room as well, including Jesus, the Virgin Mary, Saint Germain, Hindu Goddess Lakshmi, Egyptian Gods Osiris and Ra, Archangel Raphael, and more. You will be attracted to the energy of one or more deities. Don't be afraid to explore this spiritual resonance.

As if taught by the sun, the lotus flower follows a natural rhythm. It sinks below the water at night and resurfaces at dawn, when it opens its petals in full bloom. Used as a sacred symbol for thousands of years, the lotus flower represented resurrection and purity to the ancient Egyptians, Buddhists and Hindus. Images exist of the Buddha rising from its petals, Hindu Goddess of abundance Lakshmi standing in the middle of a pink one and Egyptian God of the morning sun Nefertem crowned with its blossoms.

The Secret Room’s lotus teaches us that something brilliant, calm and holy can emerge from the darkness and fears we carry.

Still your mind. Turn your thoughts inward. Allow yourself to feel waves of peace. Imagine a magic pond. A duo of swans glide gracefully over the surface followed by their reflections. Rays of sunlight angle through trees and flowers mingling their colors with the water. You see deep garnet reds, delicate pastels , flashes of yellow, vibrant greens and calming blues. None, however, compares to the single white lotus blossom floating in sync with your breathing. As you breathe, your pace is deep and smooth, then barely noticeable. This relaxes your pulse. In this state of perfect stillness you become aware of the lotus blossom's fragrance, which inebriates you as it hypnotizes the senses. You hear chanting: Grant us pure thoughts like Buddha so we may reach enlightenment.

Invoking Your Guardian Angel

It’s a long walk to the temple. Placid one moment and treacherous the next, life’s path challenges your stamina. When the road before you begins snaking uphill and you enter dense woods, you lose perspective. But you are not alone.

As a child I was taught a simple rhyme for protection. It began with the words ‘Holy guardian angel dear…’ Years later I still invoke it in moments of doubt or fear. The Holy Guardian Angel or Higher Self, whichever you prefer, is our personal connection with Creator. It is pure spiritual fire navigating us through destiny and can be summoned in infinite ways. The following exercise is a three step process I’ve dubbed the Triple A’s. Use it to call on your personal angel in times of conflict or struggle:

(You’ll need a white candle, something to write with and paper for this exercise.)

Awareness
Begin by taking a few deep breaths to relax then light the candle. Think of a present challenge or difficulty and write it at the top of the paper. Ask your Higher Self to help define your emotions regarding this situation. Begin listing them quickly without any forethought, as if you were brainstorming. When finished, go back and read each one slowly. Allow yourself to feel the emotion and then let it pass through you as if it were walking through your body. Draw a line through it and imagine it being absorbed by the earth. Write this affirmation just under your list, "Now I choose to observe and better control my actions." By observing your actions a change of perspective takes place and allows room for correction.

Acceptance
Center yourself again and imagine a white, fiery light just above your head. Ask your Higher Self to create room for a miracle to occur. On the same piece of paper draw a circle with a dot in the middle. This is a glyph of the sun, your true self, affirming that you are an optimist and understand difficulties as temporary set-backs. Write this affirmation next to the sun symbol, "Now I choose to listen to my Higher Self."

Action or Asking for help
Remaining centered, imagine the white light above your head flowing downward, purifying your entire being of all negativity, illness and imbalance. Ask your Higher Self to reinforce your will to live and fill you with the most beneficial energies for success and healing. Write this affirmation at the bottom and center of the page, "Now I choose to take the best care possible of myself."

Remain in a state of meditation as long as you wish. When you are ready, extinguish the candle or let it burn out naturally. Place the paper on your refrigerator and use the affirmations daily until the situation changes.

Any path we choose must follow the natural contours of Mother Earth, and it will always present something beautiful to sustain us along the way. Hold that in thought the next time your intuition misses the ‘Beware Sharp Turns’ sign. And remember, although it is a long walk to the temple, there is always a guardian angel to ensure we arrive safely.
