Embracing the Mystical

As many of you may be aware, I have really been trying to take the time to recognize the magic in everyday life.

What a profound difference I have felt since making this shift! Abundance is a state of mind, not the size of your wallet. The more I focus on the things I love, appreciate all the simple goodness life has to offer, the easier it is to come up with solutions to everyday obstacles (which I now view as opportunities for learning about my style and life preferences).

The more I focus on the magic in life, the more I see it, feel it, and CREATE it! It’s so fun for me, to revel in the imaginative dreams that swirl around in my mind…and to translate these images and feelings into tangible creations is even more delightful! By painting, making little faery homes outside in nature, creating a magically decadent meal, enjoying a morning tea ritual, or refreshing my home decor to reflect the beauty that I see in my mind…by doing any of these things (the possibilities are endless, by the way) I tap in to that cycle of BEING. We were created to continue the creation cycle! We are constantly creating whether we know it or not, and when you are doing things for the JOY and satisfaction that comes from just doing them, you are creating a life full of magic.

When I look back on my life since I’ve made a committment to live joyfully as much as possible, to do things that feel good and bring a smile to my face, I can see infinite days full of magic. I can’t even count. If you can believe it, I used to be able to count my good days (relatively) out of a given time period. That was when I was in a state of “what’s the point” and now that I’ve discovered that *I* am the point, that *JOY* and *MAGIC* and *CREATION* are the point, and that I am WORTH it to make these things happen…I’ve lost count of all the good days. It almost feels like they are ALL good days (even the “bad” ones…lol) because even when I feel low, there is a profound magic in ALLOWING myself to feel what I’m feeling, and to intentionally take care of myself and nurture myself during those challenging times.

I’ve been communicating more with mother nature and with the unseen creatures and spirits that live among us. It is all about awareness and choosing to open that communication, and also choosing to close it as it feels right to do so. It has been so magical! There is an infinite world all around us where time and space offer variety instead of limitation… we can choose in any moment to create and experience magic…and to share it with others.

Much love to all. Have a magical day.

   Yes to everything!!! I am having the same experience. Joyful moments lead to joyful living. And being present allows us to see ourselves as separate from difficulties, when they arise. And when we know our truth, we are able to release, bit by bit, the past beliefs that have obscured it.
   Great stuff! Your post is very timely for me, so glad to share in this, thank you!
