Red therapy base shield for magic press is a concept that combines the healing properties of the color red with the protective powers of a shield. In magic press, practitioners often need protection from external energies and influences that could disrupt their work or cause harm. The use of a shield, typically made from energy or elements, is a common practice in such situations. The color red is associated with vitality, energy, and strength, making it suitable for therapeutic purposes. Red therapy involves using the color red in various forms to stimulate and balance the body's energy centers, known as chakras. It is believed that by using red therapy, one can induce feelings of strength, courage, and groundedness.
KIT: Definitely the twins. They were kind to Leo. They talked to ghosts! I can’t really talk to ghosts myself . . . but I really wanted to hang around with the twins.
All of the lovely characters that we get the chance to meet in the first book, from tiny Brent to broody Marisol , make a triumphant return to help Leo in this one-day adventure full of spirits that need to be sent back to El Otro Lado, or else they ll wreak havoc, and also vanish into thin air. This conversation added a level of maturity to the book, and also many layers of confusion and angst, as we learn the balance between family and friendship, and that we shouldn t choose between them; they re equally important in all of our lives.
It is believed that by using red therapy, one can induce feelings of strength, courage, and groundedness. In the context of magic press, a red therapy base shield can be used to create a powerful protective barrier. The shield can be infused with red energy to enhance its strength and effectiveness.
MG at Heart Book Club Book Review: LOVE SUGAR MAGIC by Anna Meriano
LOVE SUGAR MAGIC: A DASH OF TROUBLE is about a girl named Leo, who is almost twelve and not a little kid anymore. But her family seems to be keeping secrets from her. Her four older sisters all get to work in the family bakery with their Mama and Tia. But not Leo. Leo hates being left out, so she does some snooping.
What she discovers is that her Mama and Tia and sisters aren’t just bakers baking breads and cookies. They are brujas making magic with sugar and love.
Leo isn’t supposed to know. Initiation into being a bruja and working in the bakery happens at fifteen. But Leo hates being left behind. So she keeps a secret of her own. She has started practicing magic.
At first, it’s flour into snowflakes and flying cookies. But when a boy hurts her best friend’s feelings, Leo decides to take matters into her own hands. What results is a total disaster. Now Leo must fix her mistakes without letting Mama know. Because if Mama finds out, she might never let Leo learn the family magic. Ever.
This book was just a delight to read. It’s one of those books that not only will have kids flipping pages to get to the end, but will make them want to get up and do something. In this instance, BAKE! I foresee many kids trying their hand at baking magic in the near future.
There is so much in here to love. From a teacher’s perspective, it is the perfect book to read for Dia de los Muertos, as the holiday is featured prominently in the book, with plenty of details about what it really is and how to celebrate it. I especially loved that the whole town comes out for the celebration, but Meriano showed how those outside the culture could celebrate it without appropriating it.
While there is magic and speaking to the dead, there is nothing creepy or scary. And I appreciated that, in keeping with the spirit of Dia de los Muertos, the spirits of the dead were family, loving, and not scary at all.
LOVE SUGAR MAGIC also does a wonderful job of showing a (mostly) happy large family dynamic, which is something we don’t get to see very often in children’s literature. I’m the oldest of six kids, so I love seeing these portrayals done well. Leo had two loving and very involved parents. She had four sisters with their own personalities. And the hubbub and love that comes along with that was all very real.
Overall, this is a book that both adults and children will love and enjoy together.
For fun . . . I asked the other contributors at MG@Heart to answer some silly questions about the book. Here are their responses:
Which sister did you relate to the most?
AMANDA: Leo! I always want to know EVERYTHING! I hate secrets!
LAURIE: Definitely Isabel. I’m the oldest sibling in my family, so I relate to the ways she tries to look out for Leo, and I also relate to her conscientiousness and eagerness to learn and practice something she cares about.
KIT: Definitely the twins. They were kind to Leo. They talked to ghosts! I can’t really talk to ghosts myself . . . but I really wanted to hang around with the twins.
JULIE: Marisol. She was willing to be different and not go along with the others. But despite being a little prickly at times, she was still fiercely loyal to her family.
Which tasty treat tempted you the most as you read?
AMANDA: The cinnamon rolls! I’m trying to cut out added sugar most days so that scene was torture.
LAURIE: Mmm, those cinnamon rolls Leo and her mom make for breakfast sounded AMAZING.
KIT: I’m actually not a huge baked goods fan! But the honey scene made me want to scoop honey out of our jar at home like Pooh bear.
JULIE: Ginger snaps! My favorite 🙂
What kind of magical recipe would you make?
AMANDA: I think I’d make up “Perfect Sleep Tea.” Something I could drink before bed that would make me wake up at the perfect time feeling rested and refreshed.
LAURIE: I liked the idea that Leo was able to put a mild good luck charm on a cookie recipe for her snack club friends. I’d like to make something with a mild happiness charm — something that would just give people a little push towards staying positive and seeing the good in people and situations.
KIT: I’d like to make something to soothe me when I’m stressed or anxious. I wouldn’t mind having Isabel as a family member, the way she could help her mother or sisters relax.
JULIE: Pan de Muerto so that I could talk to my father and grandmother from time to time
What do you think Leo’s special magical power is?
AMANDA: I think it might be that Leo just has a really extra dose of magic. So every spell she does is always more powerful than usual.
LAURIE: Hmm, good question! Maybe it has something to do with her intuition, because I was pretty impressed with the ways she listened to her gut as she figured out how to adapt and then reverse spells.
KIT: I’d like to think it’s something undiscovered! That Leo is truly a special sister, and her skill will be revealed in a later story.
JULIE: I think she must be an influencer like Isabel since she’s so good at convincing everyone to bend the rules for her. But I also suspect she has a special knack for creative spell interpretation!

She knows that the family magic should be kept secret, but Caroline is her best friend, and she’s been feeling lonely ever since her mom passed away. Why should Leo have to choose between being a good bruja and a good friend?
This shield acts as a buffer between the practitioner and any negative or harmful energies that may be present in their environment. The red therapy base shield can be created by visualizing a red energy field surrounding the practitioner. This visualization can be strengthened by using specific techniques, such as breathwork or meditation. Additionally, certain crystals or gemstones, such as ruby or garnet, can be used to amplify the red energy and provide additional protection. When using the red therapy base shield, the practitioner can focus on balancing their energy and maintaining a state of calm and centeredness. This allows them to remain focused on their magic press work without being affected by external energies. The shield acts as a filter, only allowing positive and beneficial energies to pass through while blocking out anything that could be detrimental. Overall, the concept of a red therapy base shield for magic press combines the healing properties of the color red with the protective powers of a shield. It provides a powerful tool for practitioners to create a safe and energetically balanced space for their work. By incorporating red therapy into their practice, magic press practitioners can enhance their abilities and ensure a positive and successful outcome..
Reviews for "The Power of Red Therapy: Shielding Yourself from Negative Energy and Enhancing Your Magic Press"
1. John - 2 stars – I was really disappointed with the Red therapy base shield for magic press. Firstly, the color was not as vibrant as advertised, it looked more like a faded red. Secondly, the shield itself was not as durable as I had hoped. After just a few uses, it started to crack and chip, which made it ineffective in protecting my magic press. Overall, I do not recommend this product.
2. Sarah - 1 star – I had high expectations for the Red therapy base shield for magic press, but it turned out to be a complete waste of money. The shield did not fit properly on my magic press, leaving gaps where dust and debris could easily enter. Additionally, the adhesive was weak, causing the shield to come off after just a few uses. I ended up having to buy a different brand that worked much better. Save your money and skip this one.
3. Mike - 2 stars – I was initially attracted to the Red therapy base shield for magic press due to its claims of providing protection and enhancing my overall magic press experience. However, I found that the shield did not live up to its promises. It was difficult to apply and did not adhere properly, resulting in it coming loose in the middle of a press. Furthermore, I did not notice any significant improvement in the quality of my magic press. I would not recommend this product.
