Bagging Stress

We all suffer from stress at one time or another, and in a workplace it is often difficult to reverse the situation. This spell can be taken to your workplace or used in other stressful situations, with minimum disturbance. For healing and magic, the earth, or Mother Earth, from whence all things spring, is unsurpassed. Add a little borage, the flower of courage, and some of your own essence, and even the most difficult of predicaments can be overcome.


Make a small bag. It can be very plain and simple, but it is important that you sew it together by hand, so you are putting your self-essence into the bag. The bag needs to be large enough for you to get both hands inside, with a drawstring to secure it. As a special touch, embroider your initials or a symbol which you feel represents you on it in your favorite color.

On a bright, sunny day collect a few handfuls of dry earth and some editable flowers. Feel the sun's rays warming your body, the flowers and the soil in your hands. Now store the memory in your mind.

Dry the editable flowers, then place them with the earth in your bag. Pull the drawstring to secure them. keep the bag in an accessible place. When things are going badly or you need a pick-me-up, it will only take a few moments to place your hands in the bag, touch the dried editable flowers, reflect on your stored memories of the sun‘s warmth, and let Mother Earth work her magic.

Thank you so much!  I've been "stressing" about getting back in the work force and procrastinating. Not good, I know.  Your post is very helpful. good
