Most of us have to cope with stress from time to time, and summer seems to increase the pressure for many. We feel like we should be relaxing, and because we’re not, that makes us feel even more stressed. 
Try this simple spell to help you deal with stress, now or at any time of the year. 
Fill a bowl with sand or salt (beach sand is great, if you can get it, but plain old salt will do). 
Light a white cnadle and place an empty bowl in front of you. Let the sand/salt trickle through your fingers into the empty bowl, and visualize your stress trickling away with it. As you do it, say: 

“I banish stress and let it go 
Life’s too fast, I let it slow 
Calmer, balanced, happy now 
To banish stress, this I vow” 

Throw the sand/salt away when you’re done.
