HOW JOLENE ASKS HER FEMALE ANCESTORS FOR HELP

As a young person i used to say I was an atheist, thinking it was kind of punk + cool, but as I got older and embarked on a path of self development, I started to understand the role faith plays in peoples lives, and to be drawn towards my own version of this in order to move from controlling and pushing towards trusting and flowing... 

In 2024 I was introduced to two key woman who have greatly enhanced my spiritual awakening. Arizona Smith suggested I build an altar at work to help with my self belief, and then introduced me to Kate Murphy whose Feminine Code Business School I completed and continue to draw inspiration from. 

The altar has been a beautiful thing AND provides me with the feeling that I am truly supported. You are likely way ahead of me on this stuff, but if not, the elements needed ideally are: 

Something that represents the fire element: I have a candle

Something that represents the water element: I have a photo of a Shetland beach, where my mum comes from and to where I feel a huge connection

Something that represents earth: I have a ceramic brooch made by the artist Rachael House and some spiral fossils that belonged to Mil's mum

Something that represents air: I have a smokey quartz crystal 

You can then freestyle with whatever you want: I have images of my female relatives (blood and chosen) who are no longer with me, a piece of art [badly made crap by David Sherry] because where would we be without art + creativity in this world, Rose oil to help connect with feminine power + self love, spirals that represent growth and evolution... 

You can also change it up according to what you need, so right now I also have a Tiger so I can channel Tiger Energy this year as we strive to build a financially viable business, and a Euro in the hope I can miraculously find a way of selling back into the EU...  

To "USE" the altar, I first spend a little time connecting with real emotion by thinking about my greatly missed elders, and then I literally call to them to help me with whatever is needed that day, from successfully launching a product, to staying calm and having faith I can overcome a particular obstacle. 

For me it works on two levels: I feel a beautiful connection to my past, and faith / belief that everything is going to work out.  MUCH preferable to where I was at in Jan 24, stressed + strung out, rock bottom in self belief and on the edge of giving up...
