Tending to your Inner Flame. 

So, what does it mean to ‘tend to your inner flame’? 

There are several ways in which you can do this:

Prioritise your self-care – making time for you, for the hobbies and interests that you have.

If you have goals, don’t set anything that is unobtainable. Start off small and work your way upwards. That way, you are not getting stressed and give up. Don’t just dream about your goals, make a conscious effort to achieve them.

Have a positive outlook. Practice gratitude regularly.

Find things – and people – that inspire you, uplift and encourage you. 

There will be setbacks – try and look on them as learning experiences and an opportunity to grow. 

Always, always go with your intuition. 

Light your candle, focus on the flame and take a few moments to connect with the flame in front of you… (you may wish to anoint your third eye or your throat with the oil)

Think of the inner flame within you, burning bright.

As you piece it together, say to yourself:

“I am worthy”

“I am positive”

“I am capable, and I believe in myself”

“My inner fire will burn bright”
