I see magic all the time, everywhere.
I see magic in my garden, in my son’s happy jumping, in a weed sprouting, or a kiss. I am not talking about spells, witches or strange brews here. Instead, I am speaking of the alchemy of creation itself. Magic is wonderment at life – things, events, people truly connecting…
Magic is a doorway to mystery; it begs inquiry and draws us to step out of the box, to witness the extraordinary beauty of ordinary things. It questions our assumptions and beliefs and sends us on our way to awe.
Today, let us step out of the mundane for a moment and celebrate the magic that is all around us.
Here we go:
Seek out a place to sit quietly for a few moments and take in your surroundings, whatever they may be. Allow yourself to sigh or breathe deeply, releasing any tension or stress from the body.
Close your eyes as you breathe in and out comfortably. Allow your senses to perceive the life that is happening around you; the sounds, smells, tastes and textures. Now take another deep breath, and ask your body where it holds the essence of magic or wonderment. Listen and observe. You might sense a tingling sensation, or you might immediately know where it is in your body.
What does it feel like? Is it giggly? Is it filled with sparkles? Or is it quiet and still? Each one of us will experience this energy differently, and will connect to it in our own unique way. The purpose of this exercise is to feel the quality of energy as it lives within our bodies.
Once you can sense this place, dive into it with your awareness and open it up, letting it fill your whole body. Allow yourself to quicken and vibrate with this energy. You may feel a smile appearing on your face, or sense warmth beginning to radiate from you. These are just signs of your body beginning to respond to the expansion of this joyous space.
Take a few moments here and enjoy the sensations of your consciousness within this state. As you become filled with this energy, allow it to flow out of you and into the room like a radiant sun.
Breathe into your body now and command all the cells to imprint this energy so that you can turn it on whenever you feel the mundane reality seeping into your consciousness.
Then whenever you are ready open your eyes and see the magic and wonderment around you!
