Episode 36

And, it's something I don't really do very consciously, but she really uses it as a tool in her spiritual practice. And so, what we dreamed up for today is an experience for you to start the new year off with abundance. And she's gonna do an abundance ritual for us, and we're gonna talk about it what that is first, but you're actually gonna have an opportunity to experience the ritual as she performs it for us.

So I think this is gonna be really fun and what a lovely way to start the year off. By the way, we are recording this earlier, we're recording it on 11-11-22, and I'm gonna have Nicki introduce herself and then just tell us why that's an important date. Okay? So, Niki, welcome.

Niki: Thank you for having me. I'm so excited.

always love getting together [: 00:02:00

Niki: Oh, my name is Niki Jones. I am a spiritual life coach, a spiritual mentor, and I'm a witch. I'm the owner of Tech Witch Lair, and I love everything about what we're doing.

The 11-11 portal is, well, the number 11 is the master number, the master manifestor, and the portal that is open up right now through the universe is sending energetic light codes, activations for not only abundance, but awakening and manifesting absolutely everything that we want, and, it's just a perfect time to actually do this and take advantage of it.

talk about ritual and ritual [: 00:03:00

I just find myself gathering things around my office and arranging them. I have a little coffee table kind of area in my office and I have a big tray on it that looks like a mandala. I mean, it is a mandala. It's all, you know, etched into it. It's beautiful and it's big and that's become kind of an altar for me.

And I'm always sort of just playing with things there and setting an intention that it bring whatever energy I want into the room at that time. But you do it in a more intentional way. So, let's start with, first of all, what do you mean by ritual?

Niki: Well, a ritual is anytime we consciously choose to connect with, whether it be our intent, our will, our guides, the universe, and to make a change in something.

Or it can be something as simple as lighting a candle or incense and offering gratitude. It's like, thank you for these opportunities, or thank you for these lessons.

Laurin: Yeah. Okay. [: 00:04:00

And in fact, tell us exactly what the ritual is that we're doing today.

Niki: We are doing an abundance ritual to help everyone that watches or listens ring in the new year in the best possible way by bringing in abundance for all of our highest good.

Laurin: I love it.

Niki: It's completely tailored to, well, each individual. And that's the beauty about ritual. There's no one set way of doing it. It's completely personal and you do it more intuitively and that's amazing. That's awesome. That's how I do everything. And you, you listen to, you know, your guides, your higher self, your soul, and your heart, and be like, okay, you know what? I need to do this really quick.

Laurin: Mm-hmm.

us, like a ritual like this, [: 00:05:00

Yes, we could all use more money, but that's not the only thing. There's abundance of opportunities. There's love, friendship, compassion, peace, security in all sorts of ways, as well as spiritual gifts.

Laurin: Yes. And I would add purpose to that I just, that's what I, I love when I'm in my purpose, that's when I'm happiest. So, I like, I want an abundance of purpose, you know. But I love that it's really anything. And I was actually just a guest on the Abundance Journey Podcast. And it was interesting cuz she wanted me to define my term of abundance and I was like, I don't know how to do that because I don't wanna go straight to money.

said, that's exactly what it [: 00:06:00

And I think we've got a lot of good examples now, so. All right. So, what are the components of this ritual you're gonna do with us today?

Niki: Some of the components we have, I, I love to represent the elements in almost anything that I do because they're the building blocks of everything.

ybody can burn real candles. [: 00:07:00

Laurin: Mm-hmm. I'm, I got mine back there.

Niki: Even fire quarts or any kind of stone that would signify fire. Anything that represents really is all that's needed. For the element of water, I have shells.

Laurin: Mm-hmm.

Niki: And I have ocean jasper. And then for of course, the element of earth. I have crystals. This one is a green goldstone.

Laurin: Ooh, nice.

Niki: This is wonderful for abundance and prosperity. And when you're gathering all the different components, once you've gotten your purpose clear you can create something that signifies or represents what it is you're trying to bring in.

ities that are coming to us. [: 00:08:00

As well as cayenne pepper and coffee to help speed things along.

Laurin: Light the fire.

Niki: Yes, yes. And then I added some dried rose petals because, well, we all need love.

Laurin: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. The world needs love in a big way, so

Yes. Lovely.

Niki: Now a lot of people, they don't like to write or they don't think linear. Me, I, I think in words a lot of people think and pictures or images

Laurin: mm-hmm.

Niki: So for those, especially the creative types we have the flower of life. It is sacred geometry, and I colored it with focusing on all the intent.

And I left open space one for divine inspiration and two, for everyone else's hopes, dreams, everything that you're trying to manifest, it will flow into here and then magnify and amplify.

turn my video and, and audio [: 00:09:00

Niki: Okay. Now to get started, I would like you to take a deep breath and I am channeling energy. So please accept, I will help you ground really quick so we can release absolutely all blockages to this abundance and these opportunities coming our way. So, take a nice big, deep breath and imagine energetic roots growing from your feet, going all the way through the earth into the core of Mother Earth.

and is gorgeous and calming. [: 00:10:00

And we flow them out of our very being all the way down the roots and into the core of Mother Earth. And these crystals light up and transmute everything. And positive and light energies.

u and we appreciate you now. [: 00:11:00

What I would like you to do, imagine, visualize every single hope, every single dream for the future for now. Everything that you need. Everything that you want. Dream big. Get rid of barriers. Get rid of the what ifs. Get rid of the, oh, I wish. And visualize you having all of that right now. The peace, the confidence, the security, whether it be financial or anything else.

the purpose, the happiness, [: 00:12:00

What serves my highest good right here, right now? And I ask that every single person who can channel energy consciously or unconsciously to add in the energies into this video, into this recording, and help amplify for absolutely everyone watching and listening so everyone can receive all of these abundant energies cuz that is the joy of community.

portal [: 00:13:00

And I want you to keep the ideas, keep the feelings flowing and say, yes, I accept these. I am worthy of all of my dreams and hopes coming true right here, right now. And I claim them all.

pes, our will and our intent [: 00:14:00

And they can affect big change. And that's what we are doing here for the new year. We are bringing in the most positive and abundant change in all of our lives for all of our highest good. So, focus your hopes and dreams into the sacred geometry. Fill in the empty space with your ideas, your hopes, and your dreams. And I'm going to read the incantation.

th and skies. Flower of life [: 00:15:00

Now I want you to claim, yes, this is mine. This is ours. I am worthy. I want you to say that, and I want you to say, yes, I am worthy. Yes. Take a nice big deep breath.

ing to have a very wonderful [: 00:16:00

Laurin: Oh my, my, my my. That was amazing. Oh, I'm so glad it's recorded because I can see going back and using that again and again and again in the coming months. Oh, that was lovely. Thank you so much. Powerful.

Niki: And the beauty about videos like these, especially with us channeling energy into it, is you can use it as often as you need.

Laurin: Right, right. Yeah. That's I, yeah. Oh, this is powerful. Lovely. Okay. Whew. I just so much energy.

Niki: I that I got chills all over.

Laurin: Yeah. Yeah. Wow, wow. I love that. It was so simple once you explained it all. And so powerful. Now, the incantation, I assume that you created that.

Niki: Actually, I got that from a book, an Oracle deck that I have called the Isis Oracle.

Laurin: Oh sweet. Okay.

it is absolutely wonderful. [: 00:17:00

Laurin: Ah Isis Oracle. I'm making notes.

Niki: It helps us embody the divine feminine and unconditional love.

Laurin: Mm. All right. Darn it. Now I gotta go buy another deck. I have so many decks, but it's like, I gotta have that one too. Okay. I'm giddy. I'm just giddy with the, with the energy. It's like nice and high and light and cool. For, which for me is a high vibration energy.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. So, and this will get added to and added to as people listen to it and, enjoy that ritual. See, I can't even get my words out anymore. This is me in my super happy place. I just take another minute and ground again. Yeah. And I would invite anyone else who's listening or watching this to just make sure that you're grounded.

at I get, my vibration rises [: 00:18:00

And so, I have to remember to come back into the body and to be really grounded. And it, and she. In case you're not aware of what grounded means, cuz I know it's a word we all of us in this business or this area, throw around a lot. She gave us a wonderful visualization for it, which is very similar to the visualization I teach every one of my clients.

And that I, I use myself. Those trus are great and I would add, you can call in the noms, ask the noms to come help you ground. I love to do that.

Niki: Mm-hmm. And you can even use crystals or a tree branch or a rock, anything.

Laurin: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And even when, sometimes when I've been in my darker places, just going outside helps. Because you get more in touch with Mother Earth than sitting inside like we are now.

Niki: Mm-hmm.

at I would ground when I was [: 00:19:00

Niki: Yes.

Laurin: So, what's the next step for people?

Niki: Self-care. Drink water. Eat some food. Sometimes a lot of energy work can actually be draining. And that's not a bad thing. It really isn't. But taking care of ourself staying hydrated and eating and grounding and resting, if you feel called to do so, are excellent ideas.

Especially because when doing a lot of energy work, it can be, well, it can be a challenge, especially if you're not used to having a whole bunch of energy flowing through you. Right.

Laurin: And when it gets really high, even if you are used to it, it can, I know I often get hungry after I've done a lot of energy work.

bath is a great way to help [: 00:20:00

Niki: Yes. And even a foot soak.

Laurin: Yeah. Yeah. I guess so. Okay. I could probably do that. I've been on the stand under a hot shower for quite a while.

Niki: That works wonders too. Yeah. Especially when you're trying to release stuff.

Laurin: Right, right, right.

Niki: And that's another example of a small ritual.

Laurin: Yes. Yeah. Yeah, it's, I call, I call the shower my happy place. It's one of my happy places. I have a lot of happy places these days, thank goodness. But it's also where I, when I was writing books, I would go, when I get stuck, I'd go to take shower and I'd always figure it out, the shower, whatever it was. Cuz it just kind of relaxes everything. So…

Niki: Water is a very creative element.

t do you snuff the candle or [: 00:21:00

Niki: Well, I'm gonna let the candle and the incense go as long as they need to. Until they completely burn out. And I can discard the remnants of the wax. But like the little abundance bulb you can actually keep in your whether it be on an altar or any place out in the open and keep well adding your intentions for abundance to it and keep receiving the energies that are within.

Because anything that we put our focus into, whether it be an abundance bowl, a spell jar, or even something cool like this

Laurin: mm-hmm.

Niki: We can keep revisiting and benefiting from the energy and the intent that we put in there.

Laurin: Oh, lovely. Okay. All right.

Niki: Now if you do a different kind of ritual that requires you disposing of the elements, you can either do that by burying, throwing away, or even putting in a river if you want to help something flow away from you.

Laurin: Mm-hmm. Nice.

Niki: As long as it's eco-friendly.

paper and then burning them. [: 00:22:00

Niki: That is a wonderful way to release.

Laurin: Get out of my body. So that's another, another thing. Okay. That's good. Yay. All right. I'm just still in the joy here.

Niki: Awesome.

Laurin: Yeah, I'm so glad that we, we brainstormed this, So do your guides have any messages they would like to share with our listeners today?

Niki: Don't sit back and just do the ritual. Go out and live as if you already have your dreams. Keep taking those steps because you will achieve it. You will accept those opportunities and they will flow to you and you will be abundant.

Laurin: I love, I love how easily you can bring that kind of thing through. It's just beautiful. Okay. And it does remind me that one of the things that I have learned recently about manifesting, which is basically what we're, we're working on here, so you do have to take action.

Niki: Mm-hmm.

s you're trying to manifest. [: 00:23:00

What's something you can do today? Or tomorrow if you need to take a break today to move you a step towards whatever that is. Doesn't have to be big. It just needs to be an intention of moving towards your dreams. And that's something that I've really, surprisingly only just understood. It's like, okay, I put it out there. It's not coming.

Niki: It can be something as simple as even repeating an affirmation every now and then. Like, I am worthy or I am deserving, or I am loved, I am supported. You know, little things.

Laurin: I particularly like the I am worthy. Cuz I think that's when a lot of us I wanna say particularly women, we sort of feel like we should put everybody else first and we're not worthy of putting ourselves first.

Niki: Mm-hmm.

tep into the confidence that [: 00:24:00

We need to bring it forth and so, let's bring that one into the world. Let's activate that by taking steps. And this ritual is a great way stepping towards your abundance, stepping into your worthiness, owning it. Even if you don't, if that little voice goes, oh, no, no, no, you go, nope, I'm worthy.

Just repeat it, repeat it, repeat it. Louise Hay talks about mirror work.

Niki: Mm-hmm.

little ritual around that in: 2027

Niki: That can be very uncomfortable. Pushed through it because it works.

that discomfort is something [: 00:25:00

Niki: Mm-hmm.

Laurin: And just keep doing it until you look in your eyes and go, I am worthy. And you go, damn right. I am. You know?

Niki: Another one that for me is I love myself.

Laurin: Yes. Oh, and that's a really hard one for a lot of us.

Niki: Yeah, it is. It is. It took me a lot of years to get to this point.

Laurin: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But boy, when you embraced that, you really embraced it, and I'm so proud of you for that. How can our listeners interact with you? Let's put it that way.

Niki: Well, I'm on a whole bunch of socials. I do have a website. It is www.techwitchlair.com. Tech Witch Lair on Facebook and Tech Witch, Niki on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok .

Laurin: Okay. And we'll have links of course to all of that in the, in the show notes. So, is there any, do you have a newsletter, something that people can sign up for?

bscription is on my website. [: 00:26:00

Laurin: Okay. And also, let's just go ahead and keep plugging you for a minute. What services do you offer? I'm gonna make you talk about it, see.

Niki: I have two single sessions that are, one is just straight spiritual connection communication, where I connect you with your guides via either tarot, Oracle ruins, intuitive guided messages.

And you, it's unlimited for unlimited questions and messages for, you know, 75 minutes. I have one that is designed, I call it the cycle breaker with energy healing and it's essentially a cord cutting where we, we cut away every single attachment, every single negative, harmful attachment that anybody would have, whether it be to old patterns of thought, old patterns of survival that no longer serve our good.

Laurin: Mm-hmm.

Niki: Or even entities. That can plague us and be like, hey, you don't deserve this. Owning. I sure do. Yeah. And we cut them all away. And send healing to both sides.

Laurin: Mm-hmm.

Because I am a guide for the [: 00:27:00

And, and then we heal the whole of the client and that way they can actually move forward and break their chains and actually start believe that they are worthy. Yeah. Cuz I had to do that for me, before I learned how to channel energy and everything, I had to do a, a, a very elaborate ritual.

Laurin: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay. Yeah, that sounds very powerful. I know that I do, some work with cord cutting, but that's, taking it to a whole other level than what I do. That's lovely. All right. So, if you are interested in working with Niki in any way, get on her newsletter, go check out her website, connect with her on, on the socials.
