I believe we are all part of one consciousness or source of consciousness, moving through all lives.

I believe the way I see myself and the way I think will affect my experiences. Therefore, I’m interested in studying LOA.

But I also believe there is a certain amount of randomness in life. I don’t believe everyone who is ill has manifested their own illness, for example. And I do believe that there are limits to what you can manifest.

I also see a danger in people trying so hard to change things for the better using affirmations and everything that they actually forget to really live their life and be present in what they experience.

Now I already know one reaction I’ll get: whatever you believe will be your reality. Therefore, if you believe you can’t manifest X/Y/Z then you won’t, and if you believe you can then you will (or.. you might 🤷‍♀️).

Others might say my views are simply not LOA but I do believe these theories to a certain extent.

But I’m looking for people who think similarly as I do (but have been studying for a bit longer). People who are interested but not rigid. Who apply parts of LOA to their lives and take other parts with a grain of salt.

I would love to exchange theoretical views.

In my witchcraft journey so far, I’ve only ever done rituals to embrace or bring about change within myself, focused on themes such as building confidence or connecting with my body.

Now I would like to use my spirituality to aid me in a very mundane problem: lack of sleep. The thing is… the cause is outside of me. Both of my children (age 2,5 and 0,5) wake multiple times each night, resulting in me not getting more than 2 hours sleep in a row each night.

Of course there are steps to take to try and help them sleep through the night. My witchcraft would be complementary to my broader search for solutions.

But my brain is telling me my witchcraft ideas won’t work. And if there’s zero confidence in that regard, I’m not going to accomplish anything via ritual. Still… there’s another voice inside me telling me to go be my witchiest self and witch my way through this.

So I’m looking for inspiration.

How would you go about it?
