What is a 7-Day Working? ✨

Not all magic happens in a single moment.

Sometimes a situation needs sustained energy, intention, and attention. That’s where a 7-day working comes in.

A 7-day working is a ritual performed over seven consecutive days, allowing energy to build gradually rather than all at once. Each day, the intention is fed through prayer, candle work, petition papers, herbs, oils, offerings, or other magical practices aligned with the goal.

This particular working was created to strengthen an existing relationship by encouraging deeper communication, mutual understanding, emotional connection, and harmony between the people involved.

Why choose a 7-day working?

✨ Builds momentum over time
✨ Allows for deeper energetic focus
✨ Creates space for intentions to unfold naturally
✨ Supports situations that benefit from consistency rather than urgency
✨ Gives the practitioner opportunities to adjust and respond to the energy as it develops

Magic is often less about forcing outcomes and more about creating fertile ground for growth, healing, and connection.

Maybe it’s just me but when I started getting reiki I always wondered what it looked like once I closed my eyes. 👀

As an anxious girly, and a nosey, one I always wanted to know.

It’s also something my reiki clients and reiki students often ask.

So while I was giving a client session today, I set up my camera so show you all what it looks like.

After I’ve sat with the client to talk about what they would like to focus on for the session, get them settled on the table, and get some music going the session begins.

Every session can look a little bit different but here
🪷 I’m cleaning my energy with Florida water before we jump in
🪷 taking a few moments to ground, center, and shield my energy
🪷 setting the intention for the session
🪷 calming in any guides
🪷 drawing the reiki symbols on my palms, the air, and the client
🪷 scanning the client for any areas that need special attention and making a note of them

Once I’ve done that I start focusing on sending reiki to the client.

You all have been asking about a cord cutting tutorial. 👀

Sometimes the most magical thing we can do is choose ourselves.

Cord cutting is a ritual practice used to energetically release attachments, patterns, relationships, situations, or versions of ourselves that no longer serve our highest good. It is not about harm, punishment, or controlling another person. It is about reclaiming your own energy.

For this ritual you’ll need:
🖤 One black candle
🤍 One white candle
🕯️ Twine or string

Optional additions:
🌿 Cord cutting herbs (like rosemary or sage)
✨ Ritual oil (Lilith is one of my favorites for reclaiming power and sovereignty)

As you prepare your candles, take time to reflect on what you are releasing. Old wounds? Limiting beliefs? An unhealthy attachment? A cycle that keeps repeating?

Tie the twine between the candles, set your intention, light your candles, and allow the ritual to unfold.

Remember: the magic is not in the supplies. The magic is in your intention, your willingness to let go, and your commitment to what comes next.
