Today is commonly known as Freethinker's Day in honor of the birthday of Thomas Paine, author of Common Sense, which advocated American independence. Take time today to do a simple spell to affirm your individuality, your creative thinking, and all the ways that you are different. Be a freethinker. Sit quietly, in a safe space. Allow your breathing to deepen, lengthening each exhale, slowly drifting lower into an easy, relaxed state. Focus your awareness on the quirks and idiosyncrasies that make you uniquely you. Breath into each of these qualities, affirming it, and seeing it grow, swelling with your breath. Laugh a little at yourself, delighting in difference. Let your mind wander, and look at what you want to be free from. Allow yourself to envision freedom, independence, and ease. As you return to your daily life, take one small step toward independence, affirming your right to differ.
