 My Everyday Spirituality: Making Peace with Chaos

by Cindy Bonaparte

  When I come home every night, I hope to find refuge from the crazy world I have to go bumbling around in. Whether I’ve experienced road rage and honking horns, nasty supervisors, or a broken heel on a really bad date, I try to shed the chaos at my front door.

  But some days, this proves more challenging than others.

  Although I don’t literally hear my boss yelling as I turn on my tea kettle, and a car doesn’t cut me off in the hallway to the bathroom, I sometimes can’t help but stir up that negative energy when I reflect on the day’s events.

  My mood changes, and I feel as if all that energy comes back to me over and over again. I even wake up the next day still feeling tired!

  So I decided it wasn’t enough for my home to be quiet, it needed harmony…and lot’s of it! You know what I’m talking about if you’ve ever walked into someone’s place and said, “Wow! I just feel so nice when I come into your home!” ¬

  I made it my mission to chaos-proof my home, and along the way, I discovered a Harmony Intention Candle Kit at www.ToriHartman.com. I felt like it was made especially for me.

  The act of lighting this organic soy aromatherapy candle immediately relaxed me and lifted my spirits. The intention-setting booklet that accompanied the candle (which, by the way, weighed in at nearly three whopping pounds!) suggested I keep the candle lit for seven ceremonial days. So I did, each day coming home to my candle burning safely in its sizable glass jar. As soon as I saw it, I was reminded me of the peace and harmony I wanted to create.

 Making the Harmony Intention Candle part of my daily routine forced me to make something positive out of each day and envision things happening the way I want. As a result, I now carry some good vibes when I go back into the chaotic world to block out the negativity.

  With all that positive energy radiating from me, I’ve seen interesting results! My boss is less tense and seems to respect me more. Drivers make eye contact and let me into their lanes. And that bad date? He’s actually a really sweet guy!

  Now, my friends come over and say, “Wow! I feel so at peace when I come to your house.” It makes me feel good that I can affect those around me, and the world seems a better place. Who wouldn’t want that?

  A Lesson In How Intention Candles Burn

  Recently, one of my clients bought the Prosperity Intention Candle Kit. She purchased Prosperity because she felt she was on a roll and wanted to solidify her personal focus.

  As outlined in my booklet, she set her intention and lit her candle on the day of the week that provided the best energy. She then waited.

  At three days in, she emailed me, worried. The candle’s wax was sticking to the sides of the jar.

  In the booklet, I explain that if the wax sticks to the sides, the issue may be sticky or something that needs to be addressed.

  She wanted to know if we needed to do a reading or if she needed another candle. My answer was no.

  I’m not going to do a reading for someone who doesn’t need one. Yes, you read that correctly. I’m not here to make you addicted to my intuition. I’m here to offer a path to your own intuition and knowing.

  Yes, as a psychic and intuitive, I see things. But I frequently suggest that clients who are in a state of panic wait a few days before deciding if they need to come see me. Spiritual counseling, I believe, is something that shouldn’t be abused. It’s an honor to have the gift of guidance.

  So what did I say to my customer?

  Here’s the email I sent her. I changed a few things to respect her privacy and clarify the message.

  Dear E.,

 Everything is fine. You are on a roll. This is part of the journey for you. This means you must stay on course and not lose sight of your intention. 

 When a person embodies their intention, a large part of it is clearing anything preventing one  from being of service. This is a powerful part of the entire process. 

  Stickiness in an issue does not mean it won’t work. (Wax sticking to the side of a glass jar indicates something may be stuck with the intention.) In fact, it means that there WERE issues – which is good.  The candle intention pulls and clears. The feeling of worry that you are experiencing, I’m guessing, is one that you have had many times in other areas. 

  Your emotional experience surrounding the candle is showing you where you stop yourself. When something outside you isn’t showing you what you think it should, you may fall into doubt. This is the time to go back inside to what YOU know is true within. Are you on your path? Are you in gratitude?

  Look at your candle. What is it telling YOU? Are you making a path in the world? Could that be the message? Could it be that you are barreling through alone? (Note: Her candle was burning a cavern down the middle.)

  As you look at your candle, what do you see? This is a new endeavor for you, a new start. You are on your path – it’s narrow, yes? It may mean that you need to expand your awareness.

  There are a few other ways to interpret the way your candle burns. These are special candles that are poured by a Reiki practitioner. The energy is already imbedded in the candle. How does the shape (the way it burns) reveal what is really going on with you?  

  This small experience is revealing where, or more importantly, when you are in doubt.  So the question is this: What will it take for you to have faith in yourself?

  YOU ARE on an energetic roll. Allow the candle to guide you to more determination and focus. After the candle has finished burning, cleaning the jar is the key. Use it for money you find. Mine is filled with bills…fives and tens I’ve found on the street. It’s crazy how it attracts.

  Give yourself the mantra that the reason the wax is sticking to the sides is because money is going to stick to you!

 Thanks for your question. This will be my next blog!

 Blessings,

 Tori

What Can Tori Hartman, Inc. Offer YOU in October?

Blogging has been a new exercise for me. I have been feeling my way through in my first blogs and finding a way to express myself that is useful to others. I believe that one should “write it wrong” – it’s better to write than not – and course-correct as you go.

That said, I’m calling October the Month of Wisdom. You will begin to see the congruence of my message in our October newsletter. As my message is coming together – the spirits that guide me to speak to you are becoming louder, too.

I now realize I have been away from my tribe in the past few years. I definitely departed from my gut feelings and wisdom. How appropriate that I would reclaim it at the time when I am offering you the same opportunity.

If you’ve visited my site, then you know there’s A LOT there, and “it” hit me the other day: You have to know me. And I don’t mean know-what-I-feed-my-dogs-know-me… I’m talking about getting to know my spiritual process and evolution.

I never understand at a given time why I have been drawn to do a particular thing. My father used to say, “Well, just get to the top of the mountain and see if you like the view rather than standing at the bottom and arguing for your limitations.”

I was guided into everything I’ve ever done – and in hindsight, it all makes sense – from my early days as Liz Claiborne’s first petite model to writing about the fashion business to my work as an intuitive. I’ve been thrown into various pursuits, and I’ve learned.

When Putnam published my book, FABULOUS YOU! UNLOCK YOUR PERFECT PERSONAL STYLE , I cried for two days when my editor told me the title. I hated it. And now years later, I can see how perfect it was.

That book was originally called “Colorometry” and focused on the meaning behind the colors we wear and live with. I traveled to the proverbial ends of the earth to find information on color energy for that book. And when my editor said she liked my lifestyle chapter – “not the color thing,” as she put it – that’s what the book became.

At the end of the day, however, I fought to keep in the color section, and it’s the basis for much of the energetic work I do today.

It all comes from somewhere, and now I see that each piece of the puzzle was put together energetically to support YOU. This I learned while I worked with the Reiki practitioner who hand-pours my organic soy wax candles to create the aromatherapy for each Intention Candle Kit.

I don’t believe for a minute that you will wear a gratitude bracelet and the heavens will open up. But I do know that these products are divinely energized to push you forward into blessings.

My intention is that each month, you will gain AMAZING value and learn to tap into the Universal energy that the month’s vibration offers. This is how one manifests…by surrendering to the flow of the season.

I know. It can be confusing, but the tips and ease of tapping into this energy is FREE for you in the newsletter. Every month, if you are a subscriber, you will get the opportunity to download the free meditation that will bring you powerful insight into what is going on in your life – and give you the secret roadmap hidden in my site that gives you a powerful reading.

Call, email or write us with any questions. We are always happy to support YOU in finding the correct path.
