Have you ever felt like negativity clings to you like a second skin? As if no matter what you do, things just seem to go wrong? The truth is, you have more control over your luck than you might think. It’s not about blind chance or external forces, but about the powerful interplay of mindset and energy.
You create your own luck. Energy flows where attention goes and if you feel like things are always looking down for you, all you’re doing is reaffirming that into the universe. When you constantly dwell on negativity, you reinforce it in your subconscious, attracting more of the same into your life. It’s like sending a clear message to the universe: “This is what I expect, this is what I deserve.”
I know it’s hard when you get stuck in a rut, but realizing you’re there is the first step in crawling out of it. Once you acknowledge the pattern, you can begin to dismantle it. By engaging in deliberate actions that resonate with your goals, you establish a sense of control and cultivate positive habits.
Rituals aren’t just about chanting and flickering candles. They are powerful tools for focusing your energy and creating momentum. Rituals help us to create momentum, focus our energy and create habits that will help us change what is into something we prefer it to be. People have been calling it magic for centuries, and it is.
But what they so often fail to see is that it is us and our minds that are the magic. Rituals hold power because they tap into the vast potential of your mind. Through repetition and intention, you program your subconscious to support your conscious desires, even when you’re not actively thinking about them.
We can program our subconscious to influence our conscious minds even when we aren’t thinking about our goals any longer. It’s energy work and I’m not trying to take the fun out of “magic and rituals” but instead to give you some more in depth understanding to why these things hold power for us.
It’s about empowering you with a deeper understanding of why they work. By recognizing the mind-body connection and the influence of your subconscious, you become an active participant in shaping your reality.
You are not at the mercy of fate. You possess the incredible power to shape your experiences through the conscious choices you make and the energy you cultivate. Embrace the “magic” of rituals, but remember, the true magic lies within you. By harnessing the power of your mind and focusing your energy, you can create the luck you deserve and step into the life you desire.
Creating your luck
Don’t worry too much about all of the rules and directions you find on the internet in rituals. When it comes to crafting lucky jars, the most potent ingredient isn’t a specific color of string or the number of bay leaves used. It’s all about your intention and not so much about the details. What are you intending to accomplish through your ritual? That’s what matters.
Lucky jars aren’t about blindly following prescribed steps. They’re about harnessing the power of conscious creation. What do you desire to cultivate in your life? Is it abundance, good health, or simply a sprinkle of good fortune in your daily endeavors? Clearly define your intention, for it will be the guiding light throughout your crafting journey.
I want you to have fun with this lucky jar craft. Don’t be afraid to inject your unique personality and preferences. Choose colors, trinkets, and symbols that resonate with you and your desired outcome. This sense of enjoyment infuses your creation with positive energy, further amplifying its potential. When you enjoy it and make it your own, you unlock more power to infuse into it. Follow your intuition and do what feels right.
The ultimate goal here is to create the vibration of luck. Per the law of attraction: like attracts like. By creating a physical representation of your desired vibration (luck, abundance, etc.), you focus your mind and program your subconscious to resonate with that frequency.
Once we have done the work to kindle this vibration, momentum carries it into manifesting as long as we can keep it from fizzling out. We do that by keeping the jar close at hand. Every time we see it, we’re giving juice to the vibrational momentum.
We’re focusing on “Luck” in this case which can also translate into “good fortune”, “health”, “abundance”. You can just as easily, though, create a jar for any topic you like.
Set your intention first
Setting your intention is the cornerstone of crafting a potent lucky jar. While the colorful trinkets and captivating symbols hold their own charm, it’s the intention that breathes life into your creation. It’s more than a mere wish; it’s setting the vibrational frequency you wish to attract into your life.
Sure, simply wishing for “luck” is an option, but the true magic unfolds when you invest more into it. Specificity is key. Don’t just desire generic good fortune. Do you crave career advancements, deeper connections, or a sprinkle of unexpected opportunities? The clearer your intention, the more focused your energy becomes.
Think beyond just words. Engage your emotions. Visualize the desired outcome in vivid detail. How would you feel experiencing this increased luck? Infuse your intention with the powerful emotions of success, joy, and gratitude. This emotional connection adds fuel to the fire, empowering your creation.
Craft a personal affirmation that encapsulates your intention. Repeat it with conviction as you build your jar, further anchoring your desired outcome in your subconscious mind.
Instead of a generic “I want luck,” your affirmation could be “I am surrounded by unexpected opportunities for growth and success,” or “I cultivate strong, supportive relationships that bring joy and fulfillment.” Remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Your intention, like your lucky jar, should be unique to you. Experiment, explore, and find what resonates most deeply with your desires and personality.
By investing time and intention into the creation of your lucky jar, you are not just crafting a charming object, you are planting a seed of possibility within yourself. Remember, the magic doesn’t lie in the jar itself, but in the intentional energy you empower it with.
- Gather your supplies
- Take a deep breath, close your eyes, relax your body and set your intentions. Give your intentions to the items, to the universe, to your guides. Feel the vibration of what you desire to attract run through your veins and into the items.
- Assemble your jar (see next section for suggestions), placing each item into the jar with purpose. State what each item is for. Give each item a job to do.
- When you’re finished, hold the jar to your heart and thank it. Breathe into the jar your gratitude and one last intention before you seal it.
- Set it somewhere you’ll see it often. Touch it and thank it again when you do see it.
Our Lucky Jar Options
There’s at least a couple of ways we can go about creating our lucky jar.
- Gratitude jar
- Stuff in a jar
There’s probably more ways than that. These are just the two that come to my mind at the moment. We’re really only limited by our own creativity.
A gratitude jar is simple enough. You write down everything you’re thankful for on individual strips of paper and put them into the jar. These things that we are thankful for are the things we are lucky to have. Keep it nearby so you’ll see it often and can even add to it when you’re feeling down.
Stuff-in-a-jar is where you put things into your lucky jar that represent luck and call more to you. The things can be anything you like as long as they mean something to you. If you’re grandmother told you that bobby pins were lucky when you were a child, it counts for you.
Other items to consider:
- Sugar or honey – to attract sweetness
- Coins
- 4 leaf clovers (pressed & dried for preservation)
- Crystals
- Acorns
- Crickets (Real ones aren’t necessary. All life is precious)
- Dice
- Wishbone
- Hamsa
- Horseshoe
- Number 7
- Rainbows
- Elephants
- Pigs
- Bamboo
- Jade plant
Really anything you like that symbolizes luck for you. You can also add sigils for luck either on a piece of paper in the jar or written onto the jar itself.
