Common Words
Aura
An aura is the energy field that surrounds all living beings. It’s determined by emotional, spiritual and sometimes physical state. An aura can change day to day for a person.
Alignment
Being in harmony. This could be with yourself as well. When you are in alignment, you are closest to your highest self.
Altar
An alter is a sacred space or setup that’s specifically designated for spiritual work. Whether your honoring a passed love one, a deity, praying or setting intentions, anyone can create an altar.
Cleansing
To cleanse something is the act of removing energy from it. Whether the energy is negative, stagnant or just unwanted. You can cleanse an object, space and even yourself. Some methods of cleansing include smoke (like incense!), sound (like bells or singing bowls!), salt, selenite, sunlight, moonlight, or pure intention.
Charging
This usually happens after cleansing an item. This is when we infuse something with fresh energy. Positive and intentional energy. You can do this using sunlight, moonlight, visualization or prayer. Think of when you spray perfume on yourself and find yourself thinking “oooh this smells so good! I’m irresistible.” You’re charging your perfume with the intention to attract!
Chakra
These are energy centers within the body that correspond with different aspects of emotional and spiritual life.
Grounding
Feeling stable and centered. A lot of people feel grounded while walking barefoot on grass or soil. Some people feel grounded while drinking a cup of tea. You can decide what grounds you.
Manifestation
Manifesting is the process of bringing a desire or vision to reality. Anyone can manifest, in fact, you’ve probably done it plenty times before. This can be in the form of a prayer, a wish, a mantra and so much more. The law of attraction (loa) is one of the most popular ways to manifest.
Veil/Veiling
To veil is to cover your head. A lot of people believe that it helps them not absorb other energy. There is a belief that our energy emits/attracts via our crowns (or crown chakra) so to keep from feeling drained, we veil. Ever wear a hat to the gym despite it not being sunny in the gym? You’re keeping your energy to yourself and keeping others energy out.
Vibration
Also known as “frequency”. This is the energetic tone that something or someone emits or attracts. Everything and everyone has a vibration. Think of when you “vibe” with someone. That would mean you and that persons vibrations align with each other.
