Ask and you shall receive. Be clear with your intention and wording.
Asking from help from “anyone” is (as I read it put once) “like opening your door in downtown Brooklyn and shouting ‘free beer and pizza!’” - yeah don’t do that.
Sit quietly, run a cleansing meditation, feel joy and you will attract what you feel. Send your request out into the cosmos, something like
“I need help, may all helping spirits that are as or more evolved than I, be invited to assist me with my highest good at heart. Thank you and so it is.”
Feel gratitude that your request is already manifesting.
Three times a day for the next moth, feel that gratitude, that your are supported and loved, feel that it’s ok to be you, and choose to place yourself in your ideal state, having confidence, joy and competence.
We call those “parasites” around here, (not to be confused with higher beings demonised by religions for political purposes), and they are there to feed. they only lie and are not worth your time or energy, but they are very easy to get rid of, for a mage. Knowing they’re there is half the battle. We have several tutorials for tried and tested methods if shooing them away mentally doesn’t cut it.
