One word, to spark your imagination. One word to cut through the darkness and release the light. A beacon, one might say! The words that we choose to speak, and how we choose to speak them. Never underestimate the power, that comes with casting a spell. With releasing your intentions out into the world.
Once you have let it go, you can not take it back!
When I was younger, I use to make up spells, the type of spells that magician's would create. Spells to change the colour of the sky, spells to make myself invisible. How often I wished to be invisible. There were times that I though that I had finally achieved it, only to be noticed by my mother as I tried so desperately to fade into the background.
I knew there was magic, I could feel it as a child. That feeling of electricity, that was present in the air, sometimes so subtle and other times so strong, you could almost hear it buzzing. I just needed to know how to tap into it, how to harness it. Then surely, I would master it!
Perhaps it was a summoning spell that I needed, inviting the power to come to me. Or maybe I needed to open myself up, so that I could become a conductor of magic.
Outside, exposed to the elements, where magic is at it's most potent, I would close my eyes, let the worldly sounds around me fall away and wait. At first I knew not, what I was waiting for, only that when it came, I would be ready.
I would know exactly what I needed to do, I just had to be ready and surrender to whatever faith came my way. Trust is needed, if we are to walk our true path. Trust in oneself.
So as all the sounds slipped away and I moved in sync with the rhythms of the earth, my bare feet upon the wet grass. I felt a shiver and with it a heightened sense of awareness. Not of what was around me, but what lay within.
Each breath, spiraling me further. I no longer felt anchored to my body, I was the energy that surrounds, the invisible thread that weaves it's a way through life itself.
There is such a vastness within us all, the whole universe and more. This bodily form that we possess, that we wear as a costume, it allows us to communicate on a very basic level.
When we peel away all of those layers and tap into what we are, then, the true communication begins. We have become so caught up in this one idea of life on earth, the trivial of daily life, that clogs up our minds. That We, have forgotten who we are!
So I journey back to that moment, where I blew open the doors to my potential, a moment that shook me to my very core. To the moment when I realized, that I am the magic, we all are. That the very power that we seek out, is harnessed from within us all!
