The Power of Intentional Accessorising: Unleashing Your Magic Through Beauty And Playfulness - My Tiny Sanctuary

5 STEPS TO ACTIVATE THE POWER OF INTENTIONAL ACCESSORISING

The Power of Intentional accessorising is one of the easiest tools one can use for self-empowerment!

Meaningful accessories have power.

As mentioned above, accessories have the power you give them, or, in the case of crystals and stones, natural power that activates only when intentionally worked with. Using them as empowering tools can be quite fun and a potent support to your personal expansion and development.

.

It's something you knew intuitively when you were a child. An Indiana Jones hat would spark the adventurer in you; a feather crown could ignite curiosity for native cultures. Today, it may be as simple as picking a boho chic look that helps you ground yourself in your spirituality.

It may seem shallow, yet it is far from it.

.

It is the way one finds to anchor in. Shamans, priestess, and religious representative for example, often wear adornments that connect them to their god, guides and spirit animals. It could be their way to honour them, pay respect or signal to others their line of work.

Do not confuse intentional accessorising with superstition.

There is a fine line between intentionally selecting your accessories and surrendering your power to an object, turning it into a superstitious anchor.

.

As humans, we continually strive to replicate success. As a result, our analytical mind will be on the lookout for patterns and sometimes extrapolate on what made us successful.

.

I caught myself picking up some pieces of clothing or earrings just because the day I wore them together was a pretty good day at the shop. But that would be giving these items a power they didn't have. It turn, I would start creating my own supersticious patterns driven by control or fear. That is not what you want when using the power of intentional accessorising.

.

What you want is to observe the objects you are picking for your day and ask yourself what they are meaning for you. What this design, colour or texture awakes within you? Attributes like femininity, romance, sovereignty, goddess, priestess, author? Feelings like comfort, safety, flexibility, empowerment, discretion, hiding?

Then you want to ask yourself why you are needing that attribute, feeling or energy that day so you can either call in for more of that energy within you or call in the medicine for that feeling.

.

For instance: if you were to pick an item because it makes you feel you can hide, ask yourself why and if you should maybe prefer a piece the making you safer to be seen. Maybe you were picking an item that makes you feel more confident or courageous, if so, ask yourself how you could nurture that confidence or courage also from within.

    Accessorise to anchor an intention.

    So, how do you anchor the right intention? When selecting your accessories, consider the qualities you want to embody.

    .

    • Do you want to connect more with your intuition?
    • Do you want to feel brave, compassionate, or seductive?
    • Do you want to strengthen your ability to establish healthy boundaries?
    • Do you want to activate your ability to seize opportunities and see beyond words?

    .

    Then choose what could empower that feeling: a symbol, a colour, an animal, a material?

    .

    Let me give you an example, when I want to improve my concentration while multitasking, I love wearing the octopus earrings and connecting with the amazing capacity this animal has for its eight arms working autonomously (what a great totem animal for a drummer, for example).

    .

    Sometimes, it is more the colour than the shape that calls me. For instance, this morning, I wanted the colour blue energy around me to connect more deeply with my throat chakra while writing.

      Accessorising is a playful way to empower yourself.

      If you feel intrigued or curious about conscious accessorising, I'm inviting you to a fun accessorising game:

      .

      1. Pick one of your hats, sunglasses, or pieces of jewellery and think about how you feel about yourself when you wear them. Consider how you walk, talk, and observe the world around you when you have them on.
        .
      2. Then, put aside all the accessories that make you feel too self-conscious or self-judgmental. (and maybe in a few months, give them to charity if you see you don't connect with them any longer)
        .
      3. Now, think about what energy you could need to embody today (strength, confidence, playfulness, patience, joy, protection, etc.) and select one piece that represents that for you. Take a deep breath, call that energy in and adorn your accessory.
        .
      4. At the end of your day, when taking off your accessory, reflect on your day and observe whether you felt the energy you called upon by your side.
        .
      5. Repeat the experience for a few days with different accessories.
