The Universe Supports Effort, Not Entitlement!

I frequently do candle work in my spiritual practice. However, in my experience this kind of ritual only works if the practitioner is already in a raised vibration and in healthy alignment with the eternal laws of the Universe.

This is true even more so after the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the Great Conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn at the end of 2020 which ushered in a new wave of karmic responsibility.

Sadly, some practitioners I’ve encountered on my professional path do candle-lighting and other metaphysical rituals as if they’re an easy ‘magic wand’ that will absolve them of any and all personal accountability.

Not so! We cannot simply kneel down and light a prosperity or romance candle to quickly erase all our financial problems or relationship issues. What is required for such a metaphysical practice to be successful is realizing that God, Source, Spirit, the Divine loves and supports us infinitely in our efforts, not our passive entitlement.

Spirit is constantly striving to bring us to a better place of peace, joy, and abundance, but not without our proactive participation. This requires releasing a great deal of karmic debt, trauma, and self-important entitlement.

The humble spiritual warrior knows that beating one’s chest and recognizing your human frailty and imperfection is much more powerful, than being a pious and pompous ‘know-it-all’ who expects the best things in life to simply show up on their doorstep.

What are you choosing to do post-pandemic? Are you genuinely committed to a daily discipline of working on yourself? Or you will flurry like a confused flounder in the stale ocean waters of the withering Piscean age?

If you’re feeling lost or lonely, dial up your spiritual self-care. Journal, pray, meditate, visualize, chant, do breathwork. And instead of indulging in self-pity, social media fearmongering, or mean-spirited gossip, volunteer your time and energy and make a positive contribution to heal the world.

In fact, light a ritual candle for someone else for change!

The Universe favors the loving and benevolent soul. Instead of festering in disappointment, anger and frustration, strap on your big girl boots and get to work. Reach for your dreams. Rise to embrace the amazing challenge that is your divine life and stop making excuses.

What will you do today to channel more divine energy through your life? Merely lighting a candle or mumbling a quick prayer is not going to cut it. Reconnect with your inner power today. By all means, light that candle for whatever you may desire, but do not expect the Universe to deliver your every whim without you ever lifting a finger.
