Believe in Your Magic

So, you believe that there is no magic in the world, and yet here you sit.  

What do you believe are the odds of all of the energy that formed the atoms that make up the cells and organs in your body would randomly come together to form the person who it sitting in a chair now reading these words.

The odds of the Earth forming and placing itself at the perfect distance from the sun to allow the formation of life are incalculable.

You are a miracle. Every breath you take is pure magic.

Why then do you feel that you cannot affect magical change in the world around you?

As the walking miracle you are, your intentions and actions have great power.

Use that power with love and responsibility. When you wave your wand, you will get what you ask for. 

Do not allow random thoughts to dilute and hijack your magic. 

Imagine that you are sitting, wand in hand, working at your computer and sipping coffee.

As you think about what is on your computer screen, you wave your wand.

Suddenly, the room is filled with items you did not request. Things that were advertised on the side bar, negative energy from arguments and stressful things you have read; things you were trying very hard NOT to create.

That is how very powerful you are! 

So use your magic. Focus on what you want. Wave your wand via meditation, visualization, affirmations, vision boards or ceremonies. 

You are a walking miracle. You defied all odds to get here. You sit here due to countless synchronicities, that have guided your life so far.

You are not here to hide your light and be weak. You are powerful beyond your ability to imagine.

Pick up your wand and get to work. The Earth needs your magic. ~Silas

The Healing Journey

Healing is a process.

When you are healing, whether it be from a physical wound, an emotional pain or spiritual attack, it takes time.

As you heal, you gain new tools, new strengths and new knowledge. 

A physical injury might keep you off your feet long enough to write something amazing, paint a beautiful portrait or learn something entirely new.

As you heal, you take these gifts with you.

Sometimes learning a truth about a past situation will cause you to emotionally revisit it and look at it with new eyes.

You will find that you can more easily forgive yourself when you know the truth of the matter. Then true and lasting healing can occur. 

Many times when you think a situation is resolved, it will come back. It will cause you grief and pain. This is the nature of the healing process.

A physical wound will sometimes get sore and itch. It will need to be cleaned and retreated for complete healing. 

If you broke a leg, you would not remain in the cast forever. You would go back to the doctor, have another x-ray, and if the bone is not set properly, you have that fixed.

It is the same with an emotional wound. It is not a one-time process. You need to check in, make adjustments, re-treat the injury and rest. Not as a wounded person, but as one who is healing.

It’s okay to feel pain. Treat your pain. Be gentle with yourself, then each time, move on a little bit more. 

Revisiting a past injury does not make you weak. It shows that you are moving forward rather than repressing your pain. 

You may go for months without feeling this pain again, or it may be only hours. It depends on your situation and where you are in your healing process.

Recognize the pain, feel it, find a way to express it whether through tears, physical exercise, a creative outlet or conversation with a friend or loved one.

Then let go and move up another notch. 

You have free will and you are more than welcome to stay in your pain and even move backwards, but why would you do that?

Welcome the tears, allow the grief, but let them be solicitors at your front door and not house guests.

Your body, mind and spirit are a sacred holy temple. Do not entertain demons there. 

Be a polite host. Greet them at the door. Recognize them and learn about them, then say, “Thank you, but I’m not interested,” and close the door.

If they persist or are aggressive and rude, then call the “police” in the form of Spirit or your guides and angels. Allow your invisible bouncers to escort them off your property.

Healing is a journey and it may be a long one, but pain is never the final destination.

You climb a mountain one step at a time. Some days you will run, others you will limp and occasionally you will rest. 

Just don’t end the journey in the middle. Walk slowly if you must, but continue your ascent. The view from the top will take your breath away. ~Silas.

The Gift of Self-Control

There are times in your life where you relax, let go of the rules and just have fun.

You may dance, sing loudly, drink or eat foods that you normally don’t eat.

You say to yourself, “Enough of the rules, tonight I will let go and enjoy myself.”

Then you do. Until the next day when you wake up late and guilty and swear that you will never allow yourself that freedom again, but you do, eventually, and the cycle continues.

The real villain is not your craving, it is guilt. You keep yourself so tightly restricted that eventually, you grow tired and must loosen your grip.

Then you overindulge. You become a mindless machine that cannot turn itself off. You eat massive amounts of junk food, play hours of video games, drink until you are sick, then you enforce a state of famine.

Your body, mind and emotions feel deprived. This spiritual hunger grows until you can stand it no longer and you let go and indulge again.

To break this cycle, use your head. Practice doing the things you enjoy, mindfully. 

Try cutting your food into small bites and chew slowly. Enjoy the mixture of flavors, feel the food fill your stomach until you are satisfied.

If you drink, sip slowly. Feel the warmth of the liquid, the tingling on your tongue, the pleasant buzz in your head as the drink hits your bloodstream.

If it helps to think of this as a spiritual practice, go ahead. It is.

Whatever you do, be present. Give 100% of yourself to the task. Feel the satisfaction that results from a job well done. Marvel about the amazing feats you can accomplish when you pay attention to the task at hand.

Try this once a day, then more if you like. 

Slow down and capture every minute of this amazing life on Earth. It goes by very quickly.

Give your life more attention and you will find that you have all of the self-control that you need. 

What is that you say? You cannot do this? That is your guilt talking.

Have a cookie. Take small bites, chew, enjoy. That should quiet him down.

The Future Will Be There

You have many beautiful things right in front of you. We often wonder why you chose to live your life in the future.

It is all right, to plan and manifest for the future. You can even try on a future self or career when you are in the process of manifesting.

The purpose of that is to get the feeling that you already have what you wish, then it will come into your life.

Dreaming of a future and acting as though nothing you do right now matters will not get you there.

You waste a lot of time worrying about future events, that you do not do the things you need to do now to get there.

Imagine that you are preparing for a party.

You don’t just sit around dreaming about the perfect party and expect it to appear. You set the stage, clean the house, set out all the things you will need, and allow the excitement of the upcoming event to wash over you.

Preparing for a party can be fun, if you focus on the goal: an entertaining, successful event that everyone in attendance can enjoy.

You would not tell the guests to arrive in a particular order, or script the party conversation. You, simply, set the stage knowing that the party will happen.

Spontaneity is such an adventure!  Can you feel the excitement? ~Silas

It’s Ok to Give Up (For A Little While)

Sometimes, the harder you try to make your life work, the more difficult situations and events show up, and seem to conspire against you. 

Obligations and bills are mounting, your energy is low and it seems in order to have the life of your dreams you will have to jump through an endless series of hoops and dance around countless obstacles.

You have been told to keep your vibration high. If you don’t remain in that “happy” place, then all is lost.

More pressure. We are always amazed at how hard you are on yourselves.

When you are exhausted from work, stress and struggling through your tears to stay in your happy place, it is tempting to just give up. It’s ok to give up. You deserve a break.

We do not mean to say that you should not attempt to fulfill your life’s purpose or have the love or career of your dreams, just take a break.

Let go of any attachment you have to a particular outcome and let Spirit work out the details. If it means following an unexpected path or moving at a slower pace, then relax, trust and allow this. 

Spirit sees things from a higher perspective. While you are trudging through the desert, Spirit is directing you toward a beautiful and lush oasis that contains all that you have been wishing for.

You cannot see the oasis from where you are standing. You might think you see water in another direction and chase a mirage. That will make you tired quickly. 

All is never lost. There is always a beautiful place waiting for you, much closer than you think. It is you who run from the life of your dreams, because you believe it should happen a certain way.

You may have tried choice A and B and had no luck, but Spirit can see the rest of the alphabet and knows exactly the plan to give you a life of love, happiness and prosperity without compromise.

Take small steps towards your goal. Then, when spirit redirects you, you don’t have as far to travel to get back on course. 

You have a wonderful life waiting for you. We are giddy with excitement as we watch you draw closer.

Just for today, relax and give up. Then, wake up tomorrow, take a baby step or two and ask Spirit to lead you in the right direction. 

Small frequent, course corrections are much easier than 180 degree turns, and you can always stop and ask for directions. ~Silas
