THE HARMONY TAROT by Harmony Nice, with Artwork by Laura Shelley | Review & Flip Through

I feel like I want to take the Harmony Tarot deck on a picnic. It just makes me want to go outside somewhere and take it along with me!

Hey everyone! Welcome back, or if you’re here for the first time, nice to meet you! My name is Ebonie and this blog (and the YouTube channel) is here to help you reconnect to your intuition, so you can manifest in the real world! If you’re interested in all things self-development and mindset, I hope you’ll enjoy today’s blog post (and/or watch the video), and consider subscribing to my YouTube channel linked above!

A couple of weeks ago I shared a glimpse into this deck here, the Harmony Tarot, as I made a video and blog post all about the fact that it’s a pip deck, and I talked about what pip decks are exactly. Click here to check it out! I hope it’ll help you to decide if this deck is for you.

I’ve since been asked to do an actual review of this beautiful deck by Harmony Nice, and I definitely believe it deserves more of a closer look!

So today, I want to give you a full flip through of the deck, while I talk about my experience with it so far, and whether I recommend it!

MANIFESTING Made SIMPLE Using the PHASES OF THE MOON | 8 Phases to Manifest

Last Saturday was a full moon, and I couldn’t sleep! Does anyone else experience this?

For as long as I can remember, there would always be these one or two nights every month where’d I’d struggle to sleep and be super restless. I’ve since learned that this happens, without fail, on a full moon! It could be a coincidence, and now that I follow the moon phases and actually pay attention to when the full moon is, maybe it’s simply because I expect to be restless and unable to sleep now? Like it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy, maybe?

But the number of times I’ve had a bad night’s sleep without knowing it was a full moon, only to find out later on that it was… I think I’m safe to say, from my experience at least, that the full moon definitely affects me.

The more I learn about the phases of the moon, and the different energies and meanings attributed to each phase, the more convinced I am that the moon influences my manifestations, intentions, and emotions.

Whatever you believe, learning the phases of the moon is fascinating. Learning how to utilize the energies of the moon in order to help manifest — that is just straight-up magical!

Simple Everyday Spiritual & Mindful Practices to Help You Manifest | 'Manifesting in the Real World' Episode Eight

We’re a few weeks into 2021 now and I don’t know about you, but as February draws near, I’m starting to feel a little overwhelmed. Time is already flying by this year! So, I decided to write a list of spiritual and mindful practices that I can rely on to cheer me up, remind me to focus on what I can control, and let go of doubts, fears, or worries that sometimes try to get the best of me! These daily practices are beautiful, easy, simple things I can do without much preparation — if any. Some of them I can do literally anywhere, anytime. They are spiritual, mindful, beautiful things to do that remind me of my goals and what I’m in the midst of manifesting into my life.

There’s a real variety and they can be as spiritual or as practical as you want, but however you approach them, and whatever you believe, I encourage you to try these practices for yourself and tweak them to suit you. …

Know Your Why to Achieve your 2021 Goals | 'Manifesting in the Real World' Episode Seven

You can set all the New Years’ Resolutions, you can have all the best intentions to accomplish your goals, but without getting specific on WHY you want to achieve them, not only will you struggle to enjoy the process, you’ll also hinder your success.

Those new years’ resolutions will be forgotten by February unless you have the motivation that can last well into the rest of the year and beyond… The kind of motivation that comes from having a solid reason why you want to do something.

Your reason for doing something is what will drive you to succeed.

Knowing your why is crucial to achieving your goals and manifesting anything you want.

This is a huge topic, but an interesting one, so get yourself a cuppa, and let’s get into it!

2020 | A Year at Home

Today's video is a little different!

Today is Christmas Eve, so I thought it'd be fun to share a short compilation of different shots from my videos this year - almost a highlight reel of my YouTube videos in 2020! I based it around being in lockdown at home for most of the year. I feel like this sums up 2020 well, though of course it barely scrapes the surface. There's obviously far more to show and say than I could fit into a 3-minute video!

The main thing I want to say today is thank you.

Mindset | 'Manifesting in the Real World' Episode Six

Hey everyone! Welcome back, or if you’re here for the first time, nice to meet you! My name is Ebonie and this blog (and the YouTube channel) is here to help you reconnect to your intuition, so you can manifest your most magical life, in the real world!

That you for being here today, to talk about the importance of mindset and beliefs when it comes to manifesting.

At the end of this post, you’ll see a series of questions that you can journal on if you like! I recommend really spending time thinking about your answers, so you can set New Year’s resolutions and goals for 2021 that you’ll actually stick with!

Manifesting isn't just about tools and techniques. Pretty journals and divination may help, but ultimately, I believe there is a key thing that will make or break your success: your mindset, and what you believe.

Your mindset and your beliefs will either hinder you or propel you forward.

DreamyMoons 2021 Diaries by Annie Tarasova - First Impressions | Year of Growth Book & Daily Planner

The Year of Growth Book and the Daily Planner are from Dreamy Moons, an Australian online store created by Annie Tarasova. She creates so many amazing things! I have her oracle and affirmation cards, and one of her journals too… Getting quite the Dreamy Moons collection! But today’s focus is on these beautiful 2021 diaries!

There are two to choose from, or you can purchase both as a set, called the 2021 Dreamy Bundle. I chose to do that - as they both function a little differently, and I think it’ll be the perfect set up for me! She also included a bonus pen which reads “I am abundant” with illustrations which is so sweet — I had no idea that was coming with them too! As you’ll see in the video above too, even the box they arrive in is illustrated beautifully.

Intro to Visualisation | 'Manifesting in the Real World' Episode Five

Deep down I know I am successful. I know I have reached all my goals and surpassed my wildest dreams. Deep down, I know this to be true. But we don’t always see the world around us through the rose-tinted glasses of our imagined future, our hopes, and dreams.

We more often see the world around us at the surface level. Most of us are stuck at the surface level. At the edge of the water, seeing only ourselves mirrored back at us... but it’s not a true, complete image.

It’s how we see ourselves based on our opinions, beliefs, and judgements. It’s how we see ourselves based on the opinions of others, through the beliefs we have accumulated through our experiences and the perceived judgement from those in our lives.

It’s our expectations and other’s expectations of us.

We forget, or simply don’t know how, to look deeper, beyond the surface image. To see past the layers of fear, doubt, and judgment, and witness our true selves. Our true wants and needs. Connection. Purpose. Freedom.

So, stop for a moment. Look deeper. Tell me, what do you see? What do you feel?

Your dreams are visions that have not yet manifested in the real world. But through techniques such as visualisation, you may find that the water is not as deep as it appears.

Today, we’re going to dive into the topic of Visualisation.

Meditation Made Easy - Busting Meditation Myths! | 'Manifesting in the Real World' Episode Four

How often do you want to just do nothing? And by do nothing, usually, you mean, you want to just chill, watch a TV show or play a video game. You want to zone out from the world and simply have fun, without feeling the need to be productive.

Because here’s the thing – most of us want to be as productive as possible. We’re always saying how there’s not enough time in the day. When you ask someone how they are, the most common responses include some form of “I’m so busy!”

When we do take the time to just chill out and “do nothing”, i.e. do nothing productive, for any measure of time – we can very easily slip into guilt and stress. Or we can try to multitask, to find a balance between productive and chill. We can overwhelm ourselves when we do return to the world of never-ending to-do lists and wonder if binge watching Netflix was really worth scrambling to catch up on tasks afterwards.

We all need the downtime. We all need to have fun for no other reason than enjoyment. We all need to figure out our own balance and do what works best for us. Yet as easily as we can hit play on Netflix, we can just as easily get into the habit of truly doing nothing. Mediation is the holy grail of what it means to “do nothing”.

It requires no effort to sit and be still, to focus on breathing in and out, to let thoughts and emotions pass by without following them, to let the world completely fall away.

How to Start a Gratitude Journal that You'll Want to Keep | ‘Manifesting in the Real World’ Episode Three

Being grateful may seem like a no-brainer. Just as we’re taught to use manners as kids, most of us are good at saying thank you without thinking about it.

But the real power of gratitude comes from taking time to really feel it and acknowledge all the things you have to be grateful for.

Keeping a gratitude journal may seem silly, but the simple act of writing down what you appreciate and letting yourself truly feel gratitude, can transform your mindset, and ultimately, help you manifest. Focus on being grateful for what you have, and you’ll attract more good things into your life that you can be grateful for.

Today, you’re going to start a gratitude journal that you’ll actually want to keep!
