Andromeda DavisWhy wait for good luck to find you? Increase your chances of good fortune, prosperity, and positive energy with these simple luck rituals and charms.
While some people might write these ideas off as superstition, tell that to the superstar athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs who have embraced the practice. The power of positive thinking has been proven to produce results, so why not give one of these luck rituals a chance?
Luck Ritual #1: Take a Victory Bath
If you want to nail an interview or ace an exam, take a bath the night before! Soak in a tub with a scoop of Epsom salt and a few drops of sweet orange or grapefruit essential oils. Light some candles and focus on the feeling of success. Visual getting that job offer or awesome test score, and let the bath work its magic.
An Epsom salt soak relieves tension and helps replenish low magnesium levels, while the citrus oils will make you feel invigorated.
Luck Ritual #2: Make Room for Good Vibes
If your home feels like a disaster area, it’s hard to feel positive about any area of your life. Sometimes, you need to clear out the cobwebs–literally and spiritually–to make way for good things to enter your life.
Turn cleaning into a good luck ritual by making your own spray cleaner from water, a tablespoon of unscented Castile soap, and a few drops of clary sage essential oil. As you clean, imagine yourself clearing away the blocks in your life that have prevented good fortune from finding you.
You might also try smudging, or burning a wand of dried sage, to clear out the negative energy that’s gathered in your home.
Luck Ritual #3: Create Your Own Lucky Charm
Up for a little DIY? You’ll need a small drawstring bag or piece of cloth and a ribbon, no more than 6 inches across. In addition, gather a small citrine crystal and either dried rosemary and basil or essential oils.
If you want to create a general good luck charm, then seal the crystal and the herbs (or oils) inside the bag. However, if there’s a specific outcome you want a little extra help with–school, work, love–then add a small symbol that represents it to the bag.
Every morning, hold your lucky charm in your hands and repeat a positive affirmation such as “Today’s going to be a great day” or “I will find the good fortune I deserve.”
