Gongyo with Silent Prayers

Gongyo with Silent Prayers Journey into the Art of Chanting In my previous article of the Journey into the Art of Chanting series, I expressed my experiences with the sacred vibrations of Nam Myoho Renge Kyo and its ability to ground and transmute energies within and around me. Now, I would like to share how Gongyo, as a practice that complements the chanting of Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, enriches my spiritual journey with its own unique essence. What is Gongyo and Silent Prayers? Gongyo is the practice of reciting specific passages from the Lotus Sutra, which serves as a way to honor the teachings of Buddhism and deepen a spiritual connection. Silent Prayers, incorporated within Gongyo, allow for a moment of introspection and connection with one’s deepest desires and aspirations,…

A beautiful Black woman with locs lays peacefully on a circular woven mat, wrapped in a deep blue cloth that cradles her body like a cocoon. Her face is tilted toward the golden light, soft and relaxed, lips gently parted in blissful surrender. The Earth beneath her is warm, textured, and alive. This moment speaks of grounding, presence, and restoration—a visual hymn to the quiet after chanting. She is not asleep—she is communing. Listening. Receiving. The essence of Om lingers in the silence that follows.

Om

Journey into the Art of Chanting: Om Welcome to this sacred continuation of my journey into the art of chanting. I invite you into the world of one of the most universal and powerful sounds—Om.

Om brings me back to my breath, my bones, my beating heart. This sound lives inside me. It reaches beyond language, beyond logic. It knows something I don’t have to…

Solar Success Spell

Solar Success Spell Lemon Ginger Magic for Bold New Beginnings Success doesn’t wait for perfection or permission. It arrives when I decide I’m ready. It meets me in the space between vision and movement. When I feel the pull to begin again, I don’t wait for the stars to align or for every piece to be in place. I move with what I have. I work with the energy that’s present. I make magic with what’s real. There are moments when I know it’s time to call in something more. A new path. A business shift. A creative opportunity that feels like a soul yes. Sometimes it’s a bold leap. Other times it’s a gentle nudge that becomes impossible to ignore. Either way, I respond…

A powerful Black woman kneels before an open fire at sunset, wrapped in flowing crimson fabric. Her expression is focused and sovereign, illuminated by the flames before her. Seven black stones form a ritual arc in the earth. The first five are etched with both sigils and words—Protection, Clarity, Devotion, Growth, and Release. The final two stones display intricate symbols but carry no written words, inviting interpretation and honoring the unknown. The fire blazes at the center, casting warmth and light across her skin as the sky glows with layers of orange, gold, and violet. This image captures the sacred moment where intention, transformation, and ancestral power meet under Saturn’s gaze.

Boundaries and Blessings

Boundaries and Blessings A Saturn Day Incantation for Growth I begin my day in rhythm with Saturn. This is sacred time. A space to align with structure, discipline, and the kind of growth that builds something real. I step into this energy with intention, honoring the boundaries that protect my peace and the clarity that anchors my power. Incantations are how I move energy. How I remember. How I speak life into the unseen. They hold me steady when distractions pull at my focus. They remind me that I don’t need to absorb everything around me. I return to this quiet because it’s where my truth lives. Because silence helps me hear what matters. Because the stillness sharpens my direction. Healing through Visions is my…

Jar Spells

Jar Spells A Sacred Practice of Intention and Energy Jar spells live in my bones. They hold memory, desire, protection, and magic. I use them to focus energy, support transformation, and speak to Spirit in a language older than words. Each jar I build is a sacred conversation. Every ingredient I add carries purpose. The jar becomes a living vessel, charged with my intention, and supported by the elements and ancestral forces. These spells are tactile, powerful, and adaptable. I can reach for them when I want to call in love, hold myself through grief, open new creative flow, or strengthen protection around my children. Jar spells are not new. They are part of a long lineage of African-rooted practices. They’ve carried us through chaos,…

Petitioning the Divine

Petitioning the Divine A Living Practice of Sacred Communication I speak my desires into the unseen because I know I am heard. Petitioning is one of the ways I stay in dialogue with the Universe, with God, with my ancestors, with the unseen currents that guide and shape my life. It’s not begging. It’s not a ritual of desperation. It’s a declaration of truth, of longing, of trust. When I make a petition, I’m not just asking—I’m aligning. I’m choosing to believe in divine collaboration. I’m offering my desires with clarity and humility. I’m choosing to name what matters, and in doing so, I remind myself that I am not alone in this journey. This practice doesn’t belong to any one tradition. It lives in…

Navigating Conflict

Navigating Conflict with an Open Heart Space I wrote these words after listening to this week’s AstroTea conversation on Clubhouse. Their forecasts always spark new reflections for me, and this time, I felt called to speak about conflict, how it moves through us, how it can weigh us down, and how it can open us to deeper wisdom. Astrology reminds me that the energies we feel are not random. They are patterns, waves, and invitations that help us see ourselves more clearly. Conflict is one of those mirrors, revealing the parts of us that are still tender, still learning, still holding on. Conflict shows up in every life. It can rise between family members, friends, colleagues, or even within ourselves. Sometimes it feels like an…

Let Them Judge You

Let Them Judge You & You Keep Shining Power of Authenticity and Self-Love Hello, beautiful souls. My name is Shaani, and I have learned what it means to walk in my truth even when the air is thick with judgement. For years, I carried the weight of expectations, the hunger for approval, and the ache of not feeling enough. My freedom has been a winding path, shaped by each moment I choose my own worth over the pull for outside approval. Some days that choice comes easily, like stepping into warm light after a long winter. Other days it feels like lifting my feet through deep snow, slow and heavy, unsure if I have the strength to keep going. Each step forward is a small…
