Presence & a behind the scenes look of what my team and I do in our free time!

My magical team and I gather together and pod often about things like our shadow work and our healing, manifesting, energy and land work, new healing modalities, ways to help our tribe, quantum leaping, and whatever else comes up!

 Tonight we had another call in a series of what we refer to as "money pods", where we talk about healing old limiting abundance beliefs, work on self-worth healing, and creating new intentions modalities and practices to go along with manifesting and matching the frequency of abundance flow. (Even though we call it money pod, we talk about abundance in all forms, not just monetary. Emotional abundance is huge!).

We are at a stage where we've done a ton of shadow work around abundance and self-worth and are now talking about how we can go on to embody and integrate all the new practices, energies, and beliefs.

One of the things we talked about, a key ingredient in the manifesting witches' brew, is gratitude and embodying it. Which led us down a rabbit hole of "well how long do you sit in the gratitude, and when is it appropriate to ask 'what's next'?

Which then led us to playing with the idea and question about being PRESENT (something I know mannnny of us struggle with). If we are more present, will that be the factor we need in order to embody more gratitude? And will embodying more gratitude be a factor in being more present? *You can see the deep rabbit holes we go down sometimes!

For myself personally, I have been manifesting like a boss lately, but I realized that although I have been giving gratitude each time an intention materializes, I feel as if I haven't been really truly embodying gratitude to the best of my ability. I have also been on a long journey to be more present. I haven't quite mastered that just yet, but I am actively working on it!

So this evening after our call I set some intentions to call in more presence. About an hour later I was going through my phone deleting old pictures, and I stumbled upon a photo I saved called a Petition for Presence (I love that! After all, us witches send out petitions in our spell work all the time!). It really hit me deep in my heart. I felt compelled to share the words with all of you who have the same intention to be present, but maybe still haven't quite mastered it yet.
