Magic and Empowerment. Interesting words to put together.
I love the word ‘magic’ because it conjures up [pun intended] all kinds of possibilities that are beyond the so-called normal realm. As a little girl I lived in fairy tales with all sorts of magical things happening. Of course, I also saw things that I now realize not everyone else was seeing. Are all of our children seeing magic everywhere in their lives but having the magic shut down or blocked out of their vision?
Maybe life in the 21st Century has become so focused on reality that we forget to notice the magic in the reality around us. We just watched the movie ‘Inception’ and the complexity of that dream world was fascinating. Dream levels within levels within levels. What’s real? What is the dream? Can the dream become real? What great questions to ask ourselves!
If we, as a society, join in a collective dream, do we not manifest that as reality? If we, collectively, agree that something is so, do we not project that belief into the world around us until reality is shaped by that belief? Believing is Seeing. In order to see something, we must first believe it to be visible. Many scientific studies have shown that those who have been trained to see or not see something will manifest their belief in the world around them, even if ‘reality’ does not actually reflect that belief. An ophthalmologist once told me that if an adult is given a pair of glasses that reverse what is seen to create an upside down image, that person’s brain will learn to reverse the image to make it upright within 3 days of wearing the glasses. In a photography class, I learned that paper that appears white to our eyes is actually reflecting the light around it, such as green in fluorescent lighting or yellow in incandescent, but our brains translate the brightest paper into the white color we expect to see. The camera doesn’t have this translator and takes a picture of green or yellow paper!
So how important is it that we check our belief systems periodically so that we can assess our reality? Are we believing what we want to see? Are we SEEING what we want to see or, if not, have we checked what we are believing about our reality?
As you go through your days this week, ask yourself what your reality is telling you about your belief system. Look at yourself as the magician creating the illusions around you. Then look at what you have created and ask if you feel empowered by that. Let yourself move into your own power by practicing magic in little areas of your life, especially if you need to take baby steps. Give yourself permission to play in your days. Let yourself move into a feeling of personal empowerment by assessing your beliefs. When I work with private clients, this is the first place we need to work, because sometimes our beliefs have been planted by others or were adopted by our younger selves and no longer have a place in our reality. Sometimes we have let someone take away our magic.
My blessing to you this week is that you find your magic! I trust that it is there for you to find!
