HOPE

Hope is often underrated powerhouse emotion. It's about trusting what you want. When you hope, it's like making a wish.

Getting hope into your life

Saying affirmations (positive statements) instead of hammering yourself with "what ifs" promotes hope, as does using visualisation techniques to help a situation turn out the way you would like.
try to remember your dreams, particularly if they end with you getting what you desire.
Play music that lifts your mood and inspires you.
Try placing a hope-raising carnelian stone on your coffee table or on the kitchen bench top.
Help other people. It's a great way to overlook or even forget your own problem.

Clear your mind for hope

If you dont mind a little meditation, try this daily for 15 minutes
Close your eyes and focus solely on your breathing - gently breathe in the positive, the slowly breathe out the negative. Bringing the image of a buffalo to mind will help to improve your meditative focus.

Use it or lose it

Have you ever wondered why you lose hope about something? Its is usually because you don't have enough faith in your ability to create what you want in your life or consider a situation to be hopeless. But here's the thing: the universe tends to give a big helping hand to those who contribute to making their life something they've hoped it will be.
Instead of sitting around dwelling on the negative and what isn't working for you, take responsibility for what you've helped create until now. Then start making healthier choice for your future, so that you can live your dream.

Butterfly magic

Butterflies traditionally represent hope, so put a butterfly charm around your neck or on your key ring, or pop a butterfly ornament on your desk.

LOVE

Love nourishes the soul and without it we feel lost. While research has shown that people in long-term relationships live healthier, happier and longer lives, you don't need a partner to have love in your life.
Everyone can nurture love with family, friends and, of course animals

How to bring more love to your life

Be true to yourself. You want people to love you for who you are, not for the fake you. One powerful way to help release the authentic you is to imagine yourself as a larva in a cocoon. Then watch yourself gradually morph into a lovely butterfly that has serious designs on attracting love.
Keep a positive attitude. And smile! Try putting the sultry stone hematite in your pocket or bag - it's sure to put a firecracker in your step.
Taking pride in your appearance will boost your confidence, which is a certified magnet for love. Place an image of the Greek goddess Aphrodite by your bed or as your screensaver
Nurture your inner beauty - place a swan symbol where you do your beauty routine.
Open yourself up to others and give out love. Place a pink feather or oiece of pink coral in your purse to spur on love within.
Assure people they can count on you. Show them that you will be there to listen or provide a guiding hand when needed. The cuckoo could boost your benevolence - so paste a picture of a cuckoo on the front page of you diary.

The heart shaped symbol for love thought to have originated in Grecian times as it is the shape of the prized silphium-seed pod.

LUCK

Despite what some people believe, luck is not something that just happens.We create luck energies on a subconscious level.

Luck - a winner's guide

A UK professor of the psychology carried out research to determine why some people seem to be lucky while others just aren't. he found that unlucky people were generally more tense then lucky people, which meant they didnt notice the unexpected and missed opportunities because they were too focused on something else. 'Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and there fore see what is there rather then just what they are looking for,' said Richard Wishman.
here are his four tips for becoming lucky.
be open to new experiences
Listen to your gut instincts - they are normally right
Visualise yourself being lucky as it is often a self-fulfilling prophecy
Spend time each day to remember what went well

Feng shui for luck

For financial luck
Standing at the front door, look to the room in the far left-hand corner of your home. Check there are no dripping taps, mould, or clutter. Then add an evergreen plant, a bowel of citrine crystals, a piggybank, a picture of a luxury item and some fresh flowers.
For romantic luck
From your front door, look to the far right-hand room. remove junk, or items associated with past relationships, anything broken, and all major signs of the colour blue. Replace blue with shades of pink, red and/or gold. Then add a picture of two birds, a couple of rose quarts crystals, a flowering pot plant, and a photo of a happy relationship.

Horseshoes for luck

the horseshoe is considered very lucky and used to be hung in or outside homes to protect and attract good fortune for those inside. Some believe hanging it upside down will allow the luck to run out, while others believe that the ends pointing down means good luck can flow outwards. Blacksmiths who made them where considered lucky because they worked with fire and iron, and so had special powers.
