Spiritual Hygiene

As I’ve stated throughout the site; magic needs to be anchored in the mundane. Often people have come to me asking if they have been cursed or similar things along that vein. Allow me to make the mystical practical:

If it is Flu season would you stop washing your hands, allow yourself to be under dressed, sleep with your sneakers on your pillow, keeping wearing the same underwear, and eat from the same unwashed plate all season?

We understand that though that is something you could do if you really wanted to because everyone has free will, it would leave you highly susceptible to sickness inside and out. Yes we have an immune system, but we aid our immune system by being mindful of our bodies in regards to the environment and what we put in it. We try to keep the rate of danger low while doing our best to keep our immune system supported.

Your spiritual hygiene works the same way. Just like a bad cough can be a sign of a cold, there are symptoms to allow you to repair and enforce your spiritual hygiene before things get overbearing.

Keeping a clean body and a clean space (remember your external space will reflect your internal space). Providing yourself a substantial and balanced diet (yes you can have “junk” here and there, but most of your diet should be of nutritional value. Stay Hydrated!). Creating avenues for self-expression; the heart craves to express itself whether that’s with words, art, or the body. Play around with different modalities and find one or a few that work for you (as long as it brings you joy that’s all that matters!). Finding ways to continue to expand your mind; Take up a new hobby, journal, socialize, you could even complete a puzzle. As long as your mind is being stimulated you can keep it alive and well.
