We have posted previously how Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a useful framework when using magick as a tool for personal growth and transformation. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs focuses on esteem needs in the context of feelings of accomplishment and recognition. In our humanistic magickal hierarchy we may think of this as creating opportunities for success and abundance and cultivating a sense of gratitude for all we have accomplished so far. This week we are exploring our sense of self-confidence and the incredible power of humanistic magick to empower yourself and boost your self-esteem.
Understanding self-esteem and its importance
Self-esteem refers to the overall opinion we have of ourselves, our self-worth, and the value we place on ourselves as individuals. It plays a crucial role in our lives, influencing our thoughts, emotions, and actions. When we have high self-esteem, we believe in ourselves, our abilities, and our worth. This confidence allows us to face challenges, pursue our goals, and maintain healthy relationships.
On the other hand, low self-esteem can be detrimental, leading to self-doubt, anxiety, and a lack of motivation. It can affect our relationships, career prospects, and overall well-being. When we doubt ourselves, we may hesitate to pursue new opportunities or take risks, fearing failure or rejection. This self-doubt can hold us back from reaching our full potential and hinder our personal growth. Additionally, low self-esteem can lead to negative self-talk, where we constantly criticise and belittle ourselves. These negative thoughts can create a cycle of self-sabotage and prevent us from achieving our goals.
Exploring the concept of humanistic magick and self-esteem
Magickal self-esteem involves using a humanistic magick approach as a tool to boost our self-confidence and cultivate a positive self-image. This in turn can lead to a mindset shift that allows opportunities to flow towards us.
Magick, in this context, is about casting spells or performing rituals to tap into our inner power and shift our mindset. With the magickal practitioner in the driving seat, a change in mindset when faced with difficulties can give back some sense of control in what can oftentimes feel like an out of control situation.
Even if you can’t control everything that is going on in the external world, you can at least try to control your own responses. Including exploring our beliefs, challenging negative thought patterns, and embracing our authentic selves. This is then built upon through magickal practise to help you reinforce these positive thoughts and create the positive mindset you need to attract positive things into your life.
In humanistic magick we may think of this as creating opportunities for success and abundance by clearing away the blocks and negative self-talk. By engaging in rituals, spells, and other magickal techniques, we can create an environment that supports our growth and transformation. These practises help us connect with our intuition, tap into our inner strength, and foster a deep sense of self-worth.
By letting go of limiting beliefs and embracing the idea that we are capable of achieving anything we set our minds to, we are reminded that we can choose to see ourselves not as victims of circumstances, but rather creators of whatever we aspire.
Spellwork for boosting self-esteem leads to attracting opportunities
Spellwork is a magickal practise that involves the use of specific ingredients, symbols, and intentions to manifest a desired outcome.
When it comes to boosting self-confidence, spellwork can be a powerful tool. One simple spell you can try is a boost to love yourself. It involves looking to your inner power to ask what it is you need to do to show yourself some love and compassion. The knowledge that you gain, plus a ritual act of burying an object in the ground, is intended to shift your mindset towards believing in your inner strength and self worth.
So with the boost of self-confidence as your starting point, you may find casting opportunity spells come with increased success. For example, a spell for successful projects that involves visualising a successful outcome can arguably be more likely to succeed once the negativity and self-doubt have been cleared away. This will mean you have more mental space to look for opportunities to help you achieve your goals.
Harnessing the power of affirmations and visualisation for increased self-esteem
It’s not just spellcasting that can help with your self-esteem, affirmations and visualisation techniques are equally effective ways to reprogram your subconscious mind and shift beliefs.
Often the visualisations we share with our subscriber audience invite people to work through a series of challenging questions against a backdrop of a positive mental image. Similarly, our affirmations are a set of positive statements that can be repeated in order to reinforce a desired belief or outcome. By consistently practising affirmations and visualisation, you can rewire your brain and cultivate a deep sense of self-confidence.
Clearing away the negative beliefs to allow yourself to be open to opportunities is what our humanistic magick is all about.
Embracing your inner power and cultivating self-esteem through humanistic magick
Developing your self-esteem is a powerful conduit to realising your magickal potential. By understanding the importance of self-esteem and its impact on our lives, we can begin to explore its connection to boosting magickal results. Through spellwork, affirmations, and visualisation techniques, we can tap into our inner power, challenge any limiting beliefs in order to attract opportunities and embrace our true potential.
