We have entered into Leo season. As a Leo rising (Ascendant), for me, this time of year is filled with creating content that’s intended to uplift the world in this ascension. However, during this creative process, I ran into a hiccup. You see, unfortunately someone hacked into my blog and decided to delete a series of post that I’ve been working on for 3 years. Yup… 3 years of work deleted.
After having a minor melt down, I decided to go on a “Holistic Scavenger Hunts” to find my happy place. While on this scavenger hunt, I came across some valuable information on the benefits of lemons. So today, I would like to share what I found because as many of us know, ” When Life Gives You Lemons 🍋… Make Lemonade.
🍋 Benefits of 🍋
🍋 I discovered when I added lemon decor in my dining room, the yellow color add a refreshing burst in the room. I decorated my dining table with plates, bowls, and cups adorned with lemon patterns. I hung lemon inspired art in the dining area and 💥 Boom 💥 my mood lifted instantly.
🍋 I made homemade lemon tea. Making homemade lemon tea is a simple and refreshing process that involves just a few ingredients. 🍋YOU CAN DO THIS TOO!🍋 Start by boiling a cup of water in a kettle or pot. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, pour it into a mug containing a black or green tea bag, and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. While the tea is steeping, wash a fresh lemon thoroughly and cut it in half. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the mug, being careful to remove any seeds. For added sweetness, stir in a teaspoon of honey or sugar. Remove the tea bag, give the tea a final stir, and enjoy your homemade lemon tea, perfect for a cozy afternoon or as a soothing drink when you’re feeling under the weather.
Lemons may interact with certain medications, particularly those that are broken down by the liver. If you’re taking medication, consult your healthcare provider to ensure that consuming lemons or lemon juice is safe for you.
🍋 Earlier I mentioned how my website was hacked and a series of post was magically deleted. Well…while on my, “Holistic Scavenger Hunt” I found a lemon protection spell.
The vibrant energy of lemons is believed to amplify intentions in magic. When used in spells or rituals, lemons can enhance the power of your protective intentions, making your efforts more effective and potent.
A lemon protection spell is a simple and effective way to use the natural properties of lemons to ward off negativity and create a protective barrier around yourself or your home. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to perform a lemon protection spell:
Materials Needed
- 1 fresh lemon
- Sea salt
- Black marker or pen
- Small bowl or plate
- White candle (optional)
- Essential oil (such as rosemary or lavender, optional)
Instructions
1. Steps to prepare Your Space
- Find a quiet and peaceful place where you won’t be disturbed. Cleanse the space by lighting incense or using sage to remove any lingering negative energy.
2. Set Your Intentions
- Take a few moments to focus on your intention for protection. Visualize a shield of light surrounding you or your home, keeping all negativity and harm at bay.
3. Prepare the Lemon
- Take the lemon and write your name or a protective symbol (such as a cross) on it with the black marker. This represents your intention and connection to the lemon.
4. Add Salt for Protection
- Place the lemon in the bowl or on the plate. Pour coarse sea salt over the lemon until it is partially covered. Salt is a powerful protective element that helps to absorb negativity.
5. Optional Enhancements
- If you wish, anoint the lemon with a few drops of essential oil for added power. Light a white candle nearby to symbolize purity and protection, and focus on its flame as you meditate on your intention.
6. Recite a Protection Affirmation
- As you work with the lemon, recite an affirmation or incantation, such as:
“By lemon’s light and salt’s might, I banish negativity from my sight. Protective energies now surround, In this sacred space, I am safe and sound.”
7. Place the Lemon
- Once the spell is complete, place the lemon in a location where it won’t be disturbed, such as a windowsill or near the entrance of your home. Allow it to sit and absorb negativity.
8. Monitor the Lemon
- Keep an eye on the lemon over the next few days. If it starts to decay or mold, it may have absorbed negative energy. Dispose of it outside and replace it with a fresh lemon if needed.
🍋 Last but not least, in the culinary world, lemons are influential ingredients. Their ability to enhance flavors and balance dishes makes them a staple in many recipes. In addition, Leo’s rule in the heart in medical Astrology. The antioxidants and potassium in lemons are beneficial for heart health. Potassium helps regulate blood pressure levels, while the antioxidants prevent oxidative stress, reducing the risk of heart disease. Regular consumption of lemons can contribute to a healthier cardiovascular system.
To wrap it this all up… lemons are truly nature’s little powerhouses, packing a punch with their vibrant color, refreshing aroma, and myriad benefits. Whether you’re boosting your immunity with a zesty lemon tea, enhancing your home with cheerful lemon decor, or harnessing their magical properties for protection, lemons prove they are much more than just a tangy addition to your favorite dish. So, the next time life gives you lemons, embrace them with open arms and let their bright and sunny disposition infuse your life with joy, health, and a touch of magic!
