• Meditation and Focus Exercise Day 2: Who do I want to be?

    Hello, welcome to Day Two of our exercise.

    Instructions:  Take a few deep breaths and relax yourself. Stare at the picture below with the thought in mind:  "Who do I want to be?"   Spend about 3-5 minutes staring at the picture and asking yourself the same question, "Who do I want to be?" After about 3-5 minutes, write down some of your impressions.  When you are done writing, stare at the picture again and ask yourself the same question, "Who do I want to be?" After about 3-5 minutes, write down your impressions. Repeat the process one more time.  After your final writing down of your impressions (you should have written something down three separate times), close your notebook and do not go back and read your impressions. Get up and get away from your computer for a few minutes, drink some water, or take a short walk.  Come back tomorrow and do Day Three. 🙂

  • Meditation and Focus Exercise Day 1: Who am I?

    Hello, welcome to Day One of our exercise.

    FOR ALL DAYS OF THE EXERCISES:  Don't self edit!  Just let your thoughts flow.  Don't worry about punctuation, spelling, etc.  You might find yourself doodling pictures instead of writing words.  There is no wrong "answer" to the questions that will be asked. Don't limit yourself in these exercises. This is about setting your mind and will free.  Don't over think the process – just let it flow. Most of us block our own success. Don't block your mind and spirit in these exercises. This is all about the freedom to succeed in all things.  Please feel free to share your experiences each day in the "comments" section below the post.

  • 9-Day Meditation and Goal Focus Exercise

    Hello everyone!
    Here at Spellmaker we are always concerned with everyone's goals! What do you want? Why did you come to us? How can we help you get what you want?

    Over the years I have noticed that the busier we all get, the less time we have to truly focus on our goals. So many times I will have people tell me that they will do "anything" to get the person they love, and yet balk at the idea of having to spend 45 minutes a day doing that "anything." 😉 It isn't their fault entirely, though! We live in a world where we are forced to produce, get ahead, be on top of everything, etc. However, there is a problem with that: The very goals we are trying to achieve often elude us because we are so busy and so rushed to "get ahead" that we forget that those goals need our focus and attention! We end up frustrated, flustered, and feeling a lack of direction – and we see our goals slipping away from us.

    Therefore, starting tomorrow, I will publish a nine-day set of meditative and focal exercises that I structured to help you achieve your dreams and goals. For some, it may raise more questions than it answers! However, if you will stick to these exercises for nine days in a row, you will begin to see the benefit! Remember, the answers to ALL that you want to know are inside of you. You are the expert on you! Sometimes you just need a little help to remember that.

    No worries if you can't do the nine days in a row right now. This blog will have these exercises on it for as long as it exists, and I expect that to be a very long time. 😉

    What you will need for these exercises: About 15 minutes alone time (more if you can). A notebook that you can keep and refer to. You may want to do these exercises many times over your lifetime. If you can keep a notebook and refer back to it, you will see how you grow, change, and achieve! Something to write with. That's about it! Pretty simple.

    I look forward to your progress.

    Love,

    Think about this!  What is the message there?  Is love available to everyone?  Are we all taking the time to actually feel that love and the warmth of it?  How accepting of love are we really?  If we cannot experience Universal Love and love of one's self, can we truly experience romantic love?  Just asking!  Love to hear your opinions.  Remember everyone, you can read everyone's comments and make your own simply by clicking on the "comments" link below each individual post.  🙂

  • Study: Optimism Key for Women’s Health

    Hello everyone! I really like this article (listed below)! 🙂 I don't think that optimism being key to health is just for women! However, that is what the study was based on. You know, we are always recommending clients to be positive, to stay hopeful, etc. because one will almost always get a better spell casting result. But when you think about what this article is saying, there are more reasons to be positive besides getting what you want!

     Love to all!

  • Patience.

    Hello everyone!  Can't believe it is already July!  :-)  I know we have talked about the subject of patience before, but I ran across an article that I thought might be really helpful for everyone.  Probably one of the biggest issues that I find with people who are trying spell casting is that they run out of patience before they can reach their goal.  This is becoming more and more true.

    Just by the very nature of our society with "instant messaging" abounding, we are all now seeming to expect that our lives will "instantly" manifest for us just in the way that we expect them to.  Well, although technology has jetted us into some kind of alternate universe that we THINK we live in, guess what, the REAL universe hasn't changed that much.  Life isn't an XBox game nor is it a Facebook page nor a tweet on Twitter.  Those things are peripherals to the real life that still exists seemingly to be ignored by quite a few people.

    More and more I hear from clients that they don't want to wait, they want everything now, and even the least amount of waiting sends some of them into an angry orbit.  Some of the stress levels that I see from even the youngest clients worries me; I want to tell them just to slow down before God slows them down permanently.  I just don't see how they can continue to live like this where everything is supposed to happen at the pace of a ding on their phone with yet another text message coming in. 

    A lot of people no longer seem to want to grow with the process; they don't want to improve themselves or their spirituality.  They don't want to learn about themselves or, gasp, change anything about themselves.  It is all about instant gratification; an eternal rat race to get more and better gratifications that in the long run turn out to be not at all what they thought it would be and so now we need a prescription to alter our minds and makes us think we are gratified.  Slow down, people!  Experience what is in your life – quit jumping from thing to thing looking for the bigger, better, faster "thing."

    Don't get me wrong, I love the technology that allow us to communicate with each other and be in touch – if only it were truly used that way.  Instead, I think it just gets to be information overload as we jump from one tweet to another without even a moment's consideration of feeling something about what we just read…. gotta get to the next tweet – it might be something even more important!  It isn't the technology I have a problem with!  I use it all.  What I am concerned about is people's inability to get beyond this technology and remember to live their real lives.

    Anyway, I think this short article is great and I have inserted some comments into it.  Kudos to the author!  I couldn't have said it better myself.

    Love, light, and peace,

    THE ARTICLE

    How To Develop Patience – by Steve Scoresby

    In a world of instant gratification, people jump from "stimulus" to "response" without as much as a second thought. Patience is the "pause" in between that allows us to get the result we are really looking for. Here is how to develop more patience in your life.

    Webster's defines patience as bearing pains or trials calmly or without complaint, or being steadfast despite opposition, difficulty or adversity. I believe this why patience is called a virtue. It is little practiced, but much needed. At the first sign of difficulty, many jump to an easier, smoother path, hoping to avoid the pain and suffering that is necessary on the road to personal growth. But it is only by taking this rough road do we gain the experience necessary to develop our character. Impatience robs us of these types of life experiences. How would your world be different if you practiced more patience?

    Patience is the ability to hang on when everyone else has given up. Patience is ability to release your need for immediate gratification and wait for the things to come in their own time frame. Patience overcomes criticism and intolerance. Patience develops committed relationships in marriage, family, church, community and career. Many a great leader have displayed patience by looking before they leaped, thinking before they acted, and considering before they decided. Patience is the mark of maturity. So now we know the virtues of patience, how do we develop more patience?

    First, realize that no one is perfect, including yourself. Accept yourself and others, imperfections and all. Everyone is struggling with their own set of fears, weaknesses, obstacles and crises. We are all on the road of personal growth together and can help each other by showing more patience and kindness to each other.

    >>> MAMBO'S NOTE:  This is so true! So many times there seems to be a forgetfulness in people doing spell work that their HD might be going through something in their life, TOO. When it is pointed out, generally the response is that one doesn't care about that, just hurry up and get to me!

    Second, develop a consistent philosophy of life based upon a value system you believe in. Then when you are confronted with a situation, you can make your choice based upon the value system rather than an instant gratification response. With every choice is a consequence. Do you act now and settle? Or do you wait to get the result you truly desire?

    Third, change your perspective on the past, present and the future. Stop dwelling on your mistakes and failures. They cannot be changed. Instead, focus and what you can do now to make a difference. Life is a blessing and each day should be lived as if it were your last. Start fresh everyday and remember the future comes one day at a time. What can you do today to change the results you have in the future?

    Fourth, confront your fears rather than avoid them. Do the thing you fear the most and the fear will go away. "That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed, but our ability to do it has increased." By doing more, it becomes easier, and when it becomes easier it becomes fun rather than stressful.

    Finally, realize that all things come to those who wait. The Universe, the infinite force that connects us all, will bring the people who can help, the answers you may need, the tools and resources you are looking for when you need them. You must have faith and be patient and believe in your goals, realizing that they will often not be accomplished according to your original plans. Circumstances change. People change. Things change. Let go of your anxiety, disbelief and doubt about achieving your goal. Know that The Universe is constantly supporting you and will always help you achieve the things you desire. Just be patient!

  • The “Good-Enough” Marriage????

    Happy almost Friday, everyone! 😉

    Okay, so I am sure the title of this post has you wondering what the HECK Mambo is up to with that title? LOL. Well,it isn’t exactly my title. 😉


    There is an article that I want you to read and tell me what you think! Some of you can guess what I think, especially if you have had a consultation with me and you told me that your marriage and/or relationship was “okay.” You know what my answer was to that, but let’s not spoil the fun for everyone else. Hahahahahaha.


    Anyway, I would like to know what you think of the concepts presented in this article. You can join in our discussion by simply clicking on the “Comments” link under this article and typing in your comments. You can come back to this article and click on that link again to join in further discussion as more people comment. You can comment on comments! I only ask that everyone respect everyone else’s opinion, even if it differs.


    When I saw this article I just wondered how many people out there of marrying/relationship age, especially if you happen to be a little bit older and waiting for Prince Charming or Mr. Right or Mr. Soulmate, would agree with this article. Or do you disagree, and why? Or is there no easy answer? 😉


    Let me know what you think!

  • Gearing up for Papa Alegba Ritual #2!

    Hello everyone!



    Sorry to not have been blogging this last week or so. We have been taking a lot of time to work with the Papa Alegba ritual and get everyone’s petitions heard! 🙂 Hopefully it will be helping a lot of you out really soon.


    We are, of course, now gearing up for the next big ritual day, which will be on St. Lazarus’s feast day, June 21, 2009. If you have not gotten your petitions in and still want to participate, you certainly can! Just visit the page at www.spellmaker.com/legba.htm and follow the links to send in your special letter to Papa Alegba.


    Since this particular feast day has to do with honoring also St. Lazarus, it is a great time to ask for something to be “resurrected” – whether it a love affair, a job, peace of mind, anything that you have felt is dead and gone! Now is a really good time to ask for that thing to be infused with new life.


    I would also encourage you to honor St. Lazarus himself at this time. Remember, these Catholic saints have been used for many years now to represent a particular lwa. However, of course, the Saint him or herself is still a viable entity prayed to by millions every day. Therefore, honoring the Saint at this time is certainy a great thing to do. 🙂


    St. Lazarus, as most of you know, was a man said to be resurrected and cured by Jesus Christ. Lazarus was a leper and said to have died of his disease but because of Jesus’s fondness for him and his sisters, he was resurrected and cured of his disease. Whether you believe the biblical tale or not is inconsequential. If you are going to honor Papa on this day because it is St. Lazarus’s feast day, it is always a good idea to honor dear St. Lazarus himself.


    There are Catholic prayers to St. Lazarus that you can find on the internet and incorporate into your ritual. You may also want to print out on of the holy pictures you can find of him – he is almost always depicted with dogs which is why he is often used for representing Papa. 😉


    Can’t wait to do this ritual, too!


    Love,

  • Papa Legba Oil and the Red Mummy!

    Happy Wednesday, everyone!

    We have started Papa Alegba month! 🙂 As most of you know by now, of course, we are dedicating the whole month to Papa here at www.spellmaker.com! If you haven’t checked out his page and the information on how to get in on the free rituals, please do so at www.spellmaker.com/legba.htm.


    As I have mentioned in many posts and teachings, Papa is a great communicator with the ability to speak and translate all languages and dialects. He can open many doors, including those doors of communication that are so important to all of us in all of our relationships.


    Of course, we also have the Famous Red Mummy candle magick kit that we use for communication. 😉 Now while it, naturally, comes with its own special bottle of oil, you can certainly also use some of the Papa’s Gatekey™ Oil on those red mummies, too! What better way to boost that communication than with Papa’s oil. It isn’t called “Gatekey” for NO reason! 😉 And since communication is the “key” to all relationships, certainly you can see the correlation there!


    So for those of you who have asked about putting this oil on your Red Mummy candles, the answer is absolutely yes! Oil that mummy up! It also certainly would not hurt to burn some of Papa’s Open Door™ incense with it, either!
