You Are Simply Magical!

The attempt to define magic is difficult at best. It is used more as a word to define, than one that can be defined. The same can be said for who you are. We attempt to define ourselves, yet no adequate words exist to describe the complexity and scope of who we are. We can describe what we look like, the type of work we do, our ethnic heritage and gender. Yet, that comes nowhere near the truth of what animates your being.

You are a mystery. You are magic.

Historians, philosophers, scientist and theologians have been searching for the origins and meaning of existence since the beginning of time. Various religions have been born out of an attempt to define the indefinable. We so often engage in the endless pursuit to define who, what and why we are. We measure ourselves against others and their accomplishments. We are deluged each day with media images of what is acceptable or unacceptable. There is an ongoing quest to explain the unexplainable. You are who you are and that is ever changing. You are deliciously indescribable. Each moment you are remade. Every morning when you open your eyes, you begin a new journey. The choices and decisions that you make color and change “who” you are. You are an indefinable, magical being. Have you forgotten this? Have you allowed the world to take away your magic? Each time you have a thought or task and give it life- you are creating! From preparing a meal for your family or painting a picture. Everything you do adds a different dimension to who “you” are. Life is a mystery and by accepting this fact you become one with it and more able to move through it effortlessly.

Think back and remember the last time you were really “in tune” with something you wanted to accomplish. Remember how easy and enjoyable it was to put together all the pieces of the puzzle to create the final outcome? You were not anxious or the least bit concerned about what other people were thinking or doing. (Not that that matters anyway!)  You were one with the energy of your creation. That same dynamic creativity is possible in all aspects of your life. By becoming one with the magical energy of who you really are, you create.

You can also create your own limitations by putting up walls of fear and inadequacy. Embrace your power; consider what you create each and everyday. If you can put together the ingredients to make an apple pie, you can use the same recipe to create anything else you desire. Create a recipe that works for you. Be in harmony with the energy of what you want to bring into your life.  If you have made several attempts with no apparent success- try another way. Add or remove something from the recipe. Be in tune with the Universal force of creative magic.

Where is your energy at this moment? Are you focusing on life affirming activities or caught up with what someone else is doing or not doing? Is your energy directed on how to get someone else to change or do what you want him or her to do? What is the topic of most of your conversations? Think about the last conversation you had. Were you sharing hopes, dreams and ideas or were you complaining about how things are not going the way you want them to? A large percentage of our words, thoughts and energy are given to what is going on around us. By understanding that you are a powerful, magical creative being you regain the power that is wasted on things you cannot control. You cannot control another person’s emotions or actions.

If someone is in your life and they are causing you distress it is because of your choice to remain part of their life. If you are not happy with the situation you are in, it is your choice. You are not your past. You are not what someone did to you or what was taken from you. The events and people in your life have served to shape “who” you are at this moment. The events of today, will further hone who you are tomorrow and so on…

To become a truly empowered being, you have to reach down into the magical place inside of you and utilize your own power. It is not important as to what your spiritual or theological beliefs are. What is important is that you understand the fact that you are a creator. What do you want to create? Peace, harmony and joy or chaos and drama? Are you always feeling angry and frustrated? Being angry or frustrated is only beneficial if it serves to steer you another direction. Conflict can be an incredible catalyst for change if you use the energy to move. Choose to take a different path or look at things from a different perspective. It does not matter how you do it, the important thing is that you get into a place that you want to be.

You are who you are and that is truly “magical”. Do not allow anything or anyone to diminish and cage your personal power. Allowing your inner self to grow and blossom is a process. Magic happens when you leap into mystery and become that which you desire to be. Like attracts like, to manifest magic, you must be magic. Just as you cannot adequately define the mystery of life, do not attempt to define “you”. Embrace the undiscovered parts of who you are. Set out on a course to reveal the mystery that dwells within you. If you must define yourself, you are magic.

Angels and Spirit Guides..They are closer than you think!

Even when you feel as though you are completely alone, there are Divine Companions who are always with you.  Before your incarnation they chose to accompany you through your lifetime- from the moment of your first breath- until your last. Spirit Guides are highly evolved beings that have completed the cycle of birth and death in the physical plane and are now serving as teachers and guides to further elevate their vibrations.  They are as "real" as you are- they are just vibrating at another level and reside in another plane of existence.

They work to guide you by working through your dreams and intuition. That quiet voice you hear is often the voice of your teachers and guides. They may also make themselves known to you through signs and symbols.  For me, when I am at a crossroads in my life or journeying though a personal or emotional challenge- I find feathers everywhere.  I also find coins and hear certain songs.   It is a reminder for me to be still and listen to the guidance of my own personal guides.

Some individuals have one guide and others have multitudes- much of this depends on the path and purpose of your life.  For instance, a teacher/professor may have several guides- one to guide them through the academic nature of their profession and others to assist them with the great emotional requirements of performing such an important task.  A policeman, fireman, or soldier will often have a "team" of warriors guiding and protecting them.  Much of who your guides are is indicative of your own personal journey though this lifetime.

Spirit guides are almost never a loved one who has passed away.  Although our loved ones stay with us in spirit and we can contact them, they do not serve the same role as a "spirit guide".  Some individuals have Archangels and Angels as spirit guides who are always with them.  Yet, the presence of Angels does not always mean they are your spirit guides. Angels can be called in times of distress to assist you for a short time. If you have an Archangel or Angel as a guide, chances are your mission in life is a complex one. Through my experience with being a psychic reader and spiritual advisor- I have found that individuals with a challenging life path often have Angels as spirit guides.

Your spirit guide is always with you, whether you acknowledge their presence or not. You cannot call them to you or send them away- they are part of you and your journey.  However, you can choose to gain the knowledge of who they are and what their role in your life is.  You can interact with your spirit guides in a more proactive way.  If you want to know who your guides are, just ask.  Get in a quiet and meditative space and ask that they reveal themselves to you. Do not get discouraged if you do not figure it out right away. Beings from the spiritual realm often communicate through signs, symbols and dreams.  Once you ask- you must trust your own wisdom.  Pay attention to the pictures that appear in your mind. If you see a man in a suit- stay with that- it could be he is a philosopher or scientist.  You may see a Native American Indian, a Buddhist Monk or you may see nothing at all.  Keep your mind and intuition open.  Pay attention to things that keep coming up after you have asked that they reveal who they are.  If you are having a challenge discovering who they are you can also contact a professional psychic/intuitive to assist you.

Working with your spirit guides can be an incredible tool for your own personal and spiritual growth. Unlike beings who are in the physical- their wisdom and advice is not influenced by the "world".  They dwell in a higher vibrational plane and the mundane particulars of your situation are not relevant.  For example- if you seek guidance from your spirit guide regarding a relationship- they will lead you to focus on what you are learning, what you need to learn, what you are teaching your partner, and what is the true meaning of your relationship.  The fact that they leave the toilet seat up or are terrible at budgeting the household finances will be irrelevant.  The information that you will be provided with- will be actions that YOU can take to gain more understanding.  You can also ask your Spirit Guides to assist you in physical healing.  Before you go to sleep, ask that as you are sleeping- you receive healing.

You are never alone. Never.  Take faith in knowing and understanding that there is so much magic and mystery in this life. Just for a moment let the "world" disappear. Raise your vibration and allow the beautiful gifts of spirit wash over you.  Life is so much more than what we see.  Open your spiritual eyes and hearts and you can discover a world of wisdom, beauty and peace that you never knew existed.  Of course, you can always choose to not believe. It is always your choice. But, why not?  Why not step into another level of existence? Why not believe in magic? You do not have to announce it to the office, but you can embrace the wonders of spirit in your own heart. It will envelope you in a light of love and understanding- and will mysteriously transform you to a more connected and loving being.

Ways To 'See' and 'Feel' Your Eternal Energy...

Who remembers 'Star Wars?' ...The saying that followed for a generation was 'May the force be with you!'

Now, in 2011, modern science is starting to overlap into spirituality and recognize that there is indeed a 'force' or energy that flows through, underpins and that is, the universe. Not just this physical dimension...but all dimensions. Science now accepts that that energy is influenced by thoughts (consciousness) and expectations of the observer. In short, the scientists get the results they expect to see!

As we are all consciousness, all connected to the universe, in effect...all is one... we CAN influence out lives.

This post is to help you 'see' and 'feel' the energy of consciousness (or at least one level of it).

So..here we go!

First, find a darkish background and a shaded room. Rub you hands together vigorously. Next, as per the picture, put your fingertips together, and slowly move them apart, whilst looking at the wall of darkish background behind. Try not to focus on your fingers, but on the background. You should be able to see a greyish-white 'mist' between your fingers. Some see 'waves' of energy or light..the important thing is, practice rubbing your hands together and trying to see the 'flow'... once you do..you'll be able to accept the idea that you are energy, in the form of consciousness, much more easily.

Here's another little way I teach people how to 'feel' their energy.
As before, rub your hands together vigorously. Where you do it this time doesn't matter, as we're trying to 'feel' rather than 'see' the flow. (But you can try to see it if you feel you want to).
As in the picture, place your writing hand at 90 degrees to your non-writing hand. Now...focus on your non-writing hand and slowly move your writing hand up and down. Try different distances, but you should feel the flow as a 'tingle' or 'coldness' as the fingertips pass down the non-writing hand.

Good luck with the little exercises... I hope they work for you...and that you can both 'see' and 'feel' the energy you possess, and energy and flow that we ALL possess and use daily...most of us without knowing it!

Out of Body..But I Don't Mind...

The other day I was a passenger on a bus. Not very interesting in itself, but with my habit of 'people watching and listening' it proved a very informative day.

Listening to a couple of elderly people complaining about rising prices and having a 'competition' to see whose state of health was worst!

Listening to a group of young mums all battling to say there child was the brightest, the smartest, the most athletic and the most likely to do well in life.

Listening to a group of older teenagers saying how they couldn't find work..how they'd tried but given up in the hope that they could get free government handouts and training.

And finally, the bus driver, saying how he wished he could win the lottery so he could live the life of his dreams.

So many sad and despondent people, so many people in competition with one another, people with no hope or future that they could see.

And I asked myself the question...is this the way society (and millions of people) across the globe see the world?? ..Could this be one of the reasons behind the recent uprisings in the middle east?... Or the riots in the UK?

Inspiration, hope, love and a helping hand are so urgently needed at this time. Maybe a realization of who and what they are would help..so this post and the ones that follow are dedicated to all those people...

I would like you to read this, then close your eyes and try it out... not once or twice, but everyday. It will remind you of who you REALLY are, WHERE you are and help you find WHY you are here, now, at this time.

Sit or lay down, take a few deep, controlled breaths and close your eyes. Continue to focus on your breathing, slowly, but deeply in and out. As you focus on your breathing, sounds around you will fade into the distance as you become focused only on your breathing.

Feel yourself becoming very light, light as a feather, gently floating..allow yourself to rise...gently and slowly.

What will happen?

Your first step to an out of body experience. Some people do it first time, others a little longer. It varies depending on how relaxed you are and how powerful your visualizations become.

You may hear sounds (like the wind, music or voices).. these are natural, so don't worry. You're simply moving to another energy level, slightly higher than this physical plane ( some would say the astral plane).

Practice this technique and you can have some wonderful experiences..and always keep in mind.. YOU are in control.. I'll explain more in my next post.

Until then... Happy Travelling!

In Your Mind's Eye..

There's a saying that goes,  "Only a blind man can see the truth."

So what truth do you see in your minds eye? Do you see negativity, problems, anger, loathing, envy, jealousy? Or do you see Love, forgiveness, compassion, joy, friendship or oneness?

What we think (or see in our thoughts) reflects into our consciousness to become our reality. If we constantly have negative thoughts, we'll lead a predominantly negative life. If we see positive ones...you guessed it..a happier more positive life.

Now, lets look at those negative thoughts you've been having.

Now, it's a strange question I know, but those thoughts are usually related to people or events in your life 'caused' by people. So, will these thoughts you have, that you feel so strongly about, matter to anyone, anywhere in 100 years time? Will history record them? Unless it affects the whole world (Like 9/11)...I don't think so..

Those thoughts matter to you now, you go over them, brood on them, swearing to get even or get one up on someone...I've news for you..Don't bother! If you give someone or something your attention, you give it meaning and reality in your life. I'm sure you don't want negativity in your life..so don't give negativity the chance to become your reality.

The secret is to watch your thoughts..'step back' from yourself occasionally and say "Is this the way I want to be?".....

If you catch yourself with anything negative, replace it with a positive. As long as you can live a 51% positive thought life (but preferably more!) ..you'll be going to where you want to go. Your thoughts are your prelude to your reality, watching them well is one way to improving your life....

Positivity and Post-Its!

Positive suggestions have been used for thousands of years as a way to improve oneself.

Below are given a list of suggestions for various things you may want to achieve, I have tried to list the most obvious, but if you have any specific needs just follow the instructions given below.

You can use these suggestions on the recordings or when using the ‘Eye Roll’ technique. (See my next post!)

You can also use these suggestions in other ways. You can simply say them to yourself during the day (whenever you remember them!) This way will take a bit longer to get results, allow a month or two, depending on the frequency you use the affirmations.

You can also write them down. I use small stickers, like post-its,  if you have a computer at work, stick your affirmation or statement on it, you will see if many times during the day. (Another form of ‘subliminal programming’!)

You can carry your statement on a card in your wallet or purse, every time you open it, you see your statement. You can also draw a mini picture of your desired outcome on the card. It doesn't have to be a Rembrandt! A quick sketch will suffice, as long as it reminds you and allows you to imagine the outcome visually in your mind.

You can, of course, combine all the techniques for quicker results.

At the end of the day, how you proceed is your choice. Choose your own way, because the way you choose would always be the best for you.

RULES FOR FORMULATING A SUGGESTION.

A Sunny Tuesday Morning

I've always known I'm here, at this time, for a reason
That reason is to help people, any and all people find their path or route through life..and enable them to live this lifetime to their full potential.

I digress for a moment, but last night I was listening away to my music (which always inspires me to higher thoughts!) and was wondering which is the best way to help people. Which would be the best way to share my knowledge and experience?

It occurred to me the best way, the simplest way would be simply to ask!

Different people are at different points on their journey, so what suits or helps one, may be no use to another. Should I do a course or lectures? Should I do a video seminar? Should I write a book with a system?

All the above would be of use to some, but not to others... so in my semi conscious 2am state.. my guide said simply.. 'Ask Them!'

So, here I am today writing this post, asking you.. what would you like to know?

What questions do you have? Is there a site or a product (a book, a course etc) that you would like to recommend?

With a library collection of over 250 ebooks..and a whole lot of 'real' books, I can certainly recommend a reading list!!!

Anyway.. as I sit here, I can visualize many ways to help...so tell me, or ask me...

How Can I help You?
