Meditation and visualization is very important in witchcraft. Being able to clear our minds and visualize to the fullest extent of our desires helps them to manifest the way we really want, and in a timely fashion. But what if you can’t meditate?
If you’re anything like me, your brain is busy. All. The. Time. Even when I lay down to go to sleep, no matter how tired I am, I have to work through scenarios in my head for almost an hour before I fall asleep. Tomorrow’s to-do list, why I didn’t do this thing that way instead. Conversations from 20 years ago where I really should have said that one thing that would’ve ended the discussion in my favor. So sitting still and clearing my head for 10-30 minutes just isn’t in the cards for me.
So if I can’t meditate can I still be a witch? Of course you can! Here’s how you do it.
When I am trying to clear my mind and focus on my desires, I write. So journaling? Not quite. Mainly because I don’t keep it. I just get it out of my head. Not stories, or books or even blogs. I just write. Whatever comes into my head in this process is fair game. It doesn’t even have to be full sentences.
Get yourself two blank pieces of notebook paper. On the first one write down whatever is on your mind at that given moment. Literally word vomit on the page. It doesn’t matter what you say here. Mine sometimes look like this:
dog food, groceries, blog, 2 clients tomorrow, i wanna help someone heal, why do I sabotage myself, why does my mother hate me? does it really matter? why does it matter? etc etc etc…
If you find yourself stuck, ask yourself questions on the page. the brain looks for answers, that’s its purpose, so writing down a question makes answers happen. you will be amazed what you can learn by doing this. Your highest self KNOWS. One of the points of meditation is to connect with that higher self. Asking questions will bring you answers, once you clear out the crap on page one.
Once you can’t think of anything else, take your second page and write your desires. Write them so descriptively that you can feel and taste them. If you feel like following a mediation line start with your story of walking down into yourself. down the stairs to your sacred space that looks just like you want it to. Write until it comes to life in your head. It doesn’t have to make sense to anyone but you. Single words are fine, more will come as you write. Also include anything you feel may be keeping you from those desires. Write it as if it already happened.
Ok now you have successfully created a spell for your desire. It can be anything you want! Now release it. Take both of those pages outside, and burn them. throw them in the fireplace if you have one or an outdoor firepit. I have neither so I just light the corner and put it down in the driveway and watch it burn away.
This will release all the junk you have been holding onto in your brain, as well as set your plan into motion. Burning my own “journal” has been the most helpful thing I have done as far as clearing my mind.
I hope this helped with your meditation issues. Let me know how it works for you!
Love and Light!
