What does it mean to live magically?
We live in an amazing Universe where miracles are possible,where we are guided by our higher selves, where we can step into a higher flow, and where we create our reality from the inside out. For thousands of years our ancestors lived this way, they knew how to live in intimate connection with nature, community and themselves. They saw the Universe as a benelovent place full of magic and power and help. They knew how to connnect to this web of magic and power because they had awakened their inner magician, priestess or shaman. Once this magical self awakens it starts to inform our lives and steer our lives towards more play, joy love and adventure. It also gently starts to guide as away from meaningless suffering, drama and struggle. We start to live more magically and less tragically. The inner magician is one of our inner guides that can help us find our way back home. It helps us move away from conventional living and gives us an appreciation of working with connection, energy, imagination,and intention. If this part is calling you then you will feel drawn to areas of spirituality, healing, and meditation. The inner magician may encourage you to connect more with nature. It may draw you to certain books, places and people who are there to encourage and help you on the next stages of your journey.
We were not raised to live magically We are educated to be rational and logical instead of intuitive, imaginative and magical. We have lost touch with our inner magician and live in a mundane world of cause and effect only.In such a world we distrust our intuition and do not realise the power that our imagination has to uplift or destroy our lives. We are disconnected from the web of life and so we have broken communities and we seek to destroy Mother Earth that has supported human and other communities for thousands of years. We are in a crisis of consciousness and this has created many problems such as greed, war, and poverty. The solution to both global and personal problems is spiritual. Until we find ourselves again we will never be able to reconnect to the web of power and magic where there is much light, much guidance, much support.
Your inner magician knows that everything is energy in motion Mostly we do not realise that live in an energetic universe. When we realise that everything is energy, everything vibrates, nothing stays still then we can begin to work with the web of life. We can influence and shape energy with our attention, imagination, and intent. Everyday you are communicating with the Universe. Your thoughts and feelings ripple out through your energy fields and out into the web of life. The Universe is always responding to this communication. Because for most people this communication contains mixed messages, desires, thoughts, beliefs, feelings and so on the communication back from the Universe is not always what one would wish for. On this workshop you will learn to communicate more magically. You will learn simple rituals to communicate more elegantly and effectively with the Universe around you.
You live in a friendly and magical Universe You block your inner magican when: you believe you are abandoned and alone in an unfriendly universe; you accept what you are told or taught by others without reflection, inquiry or question; you believe the worst about life and yourself; you blame and judge harshly; you believe that nothing good with ever happens; you believe that you are not lovable, resourceful or competent; that it is dangerous to express certain feelings and ideas, that you have little choice to determine the direction of your life and that others (teachers, parents, loved ones, bosses, governments) know what is best for you.
OK the good news is that every belief that you have accepted can be changed. This is because they are your beliefs and you have accepted them or made them up. And as such you can un-make them up and choose something else instead. Limiting beliefs create a limiting reality. The inner magician can help you transform all limitations. The more you do this the more you will live in a magical and friendly universe.
You intuition is a magical aspect of who you are
When we lose touch with our inner magic we are no longer connected to our higher mind and therefore trust our lower mind to lead the way. This inevitably creates conflict and drama in our lives. We then tend to be either suspicious about others or naïve and trust everyone; have no boundaries, or overly rigid boundaries, never say yes, or never say no; discount our skills and strengths and the positive in life; we avoid dreaming or setting goals for fear of disappointment; we may exaggerate the negative, dramatize everything; and for some there is a tendency to try and escape the difficulties of the world through some addiction, coping mechanism or even spirituality.
You are a miracle worker
Your inner magician can help you reclaim your power of focus. It is your focus and attention that creates our reality. Unless youe start paying attention to where you are placing your focus it will be hijacked by your limiting beliefs and by the fearful messages of the media and others in the world. The inner magician can help you: live more authentically and less seriously; create more space in your life and help you to slow down; focus on your higher good instead of worst case scenarios, pay attention to possibility rather than problems, live your life according to your values rather than external
You can use personal and universal power authentically Our inner magician is an aspect of our authentic self that is connected to our intuition and imagination. This aspect of our authentic self knows how to be in the flow of life, generate miracles and open to synchronicity. The inner magician is the wise guiding voice that knows answers to the challenges and issues we face in our everyday lives, but we must learn to listen to this voice and turn down the harsh critical voices that most of us have been conditioned to accept. We must learn to move through the limiting beliefs we have accepted from our culture, our family, people in authority, and our peers. Our inner magician can help us to take back the rod of power from others and thus help us to become the true authority in our lives. When we do this then no-one else has power over us. And this is a great liberation that alone will help to bring more freedom, peace and joy in our lives.
Is it time to re-awaken your inner magician?
Only you can answer that question. Perhaps the time is now, or perhaps not. There is of course no rush in these things. You could wait until your next lifetime. But then again why wait? Through individual and personal processes, meditation, simple ritual you will learn how to awaken the inner magician. You can listen to a free relevant recording called You Can Live Magically or Tragically
