How Witches Connect with the Meaning of Life and Newfound Happiness

“I struggle so hard. But I feel empty,” Freda, an acquaintance, said. The ensuing conversation invited me to look deeper into my own struggles.

Here are three insights

Observe the relationships in your life.

“Relationship itself gives meaning to life.” – Jon Kabat-Zinn

Who are the people who mean the most to you in this world?

How do you feel about your relationships with them? I’ve realized that just devoting a little time to listen to a family member or friend creates meaning for us. Listening creates trust. And trust uplifts the relationship.

I’ve also learned that listening is hard work. I need to hold back and let the person finish what they need to say. I also need to say back what I heard so that they know that I understand what they feel and experience. Are you listening to your family and friends?

Elevate your relationship with the God and Goddess.

Do you talk with the Gods often? Do you thank Them for the blessings of your life? The Gods stand by and wait for your invitation to interact with Them. They want you to feel good and to create happy outcomes in your life.

They have so much to teach us. It also helps for us to watch for signs. For example, Jesse had a choice of two previously owned cars. His small budget meant that he needed to make the right choice. He asked the God and Goddess to give him a sign. He asked to see a horse galloping if his first choice of a car was the best one. Now this would be an unusual because he lived in the city. Soon, Jesse walked down a street and saw a figurine of a galloping horse in a store window. To Jesse, this was a sign from the Gods.

Devote yourself to three essential parts of a relationship: Time, Attention, and Ritual.

Every day my sweetheart massages my feet for five minutes. Often this happens just before I go to sleep. It’s a ritual with us. It’s one of the many ways that I know that he cares about me and loves me.

What rituals do you have with your own relationships?

What rituals do you have with your relationships with the Gods? I talk to the God and Goddess just about every day. On the days I miss a conversation, I really see a difference in how strong my bond is with Them.

Any relationship, even one with the Gods, needs time and attention. Do you have a daily ritual for connecting with the God and Goddess?

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
