We all know how to cast a spell, we gather all we need, our candles, herbs, cast our circles and chant our spells then sit back and wait for the results. We all know that a spell is the use of divine energy, garnered from the elements, our chants, it is purely a focusing and directing of all these energies. There is nothing complicated in the process, visualization and focus, direction of energy is really the basis of all spells.
However what about our daily magic? Do we always focus our energy in a positive direction as we do when casting spell. What about the times when we stand waiting for the long over-due bus or train. When supermarket queues stretch endlessly ahead of us and we have other important things to do? What about the magic then as we impatiently tap our feet and drum our fingers, sighing and wishing the bus would arrive now, or the person in front would use cash not a credit card as that seems to take the check-out person that much longer to process. Do we use magic then? No, we are much more likely to start using our energy in a negative way, forgetting the threefold law, that which we put out will return three times.
It is during those everyday mundane times that we should still remember to use our magic, the magic of our minds, to remind ourselves that each time we have a negative thought, we are going to receive it back three times over.
Magic is everywhere, it should be in every aspect of our lives, no matter how small and insignificant these moments appear. This is where we should use the wonderful magic with which we are all born, the magic of our minds.
Everyone is well aware that positive thoughts are healthy, that they will produce a happy positive result but do we give quite so much thought to those small everyday negative thoughts we send out? Those small irritations, the frown at a delay, they will also be returning to us, though not in a manner which produces a happy positive life. Everyday we need to be fully aware of our own personal magic which does not require any ceremony at all, all we need is there, right with us every moment of the day, in our own minds, our thoughts! Even the smallest thought, the merest flicker, has an effect on our lives. So it makes sense doesn't it to ensure that our thoughts are always positive, even in situations which may not always be to our liking. It is all too easy to slip into negative thoughts, which possess just as much energy as positive thoughts.
It pays for just one day to see how many negative thoughts we allow ourselves to produce and then to think about just how much negative energy we have sent out into the world. An amazing and frightening exercise is to keep track for just a day our every single waking thought, for without realizing it we do slip into a negative mode. Maybe only for a moment but each moment counts, even that nano-second of negativity will, over a period of time, build into an hour, a day or worse even longer if that negative thought is not instantly acknowledged and changed into a positive one. We all know that what we think is what we will get, so doesn't it make sense to make every second of our lives filled with wonderful magic.
To use the most astounding magical tool we posses, our minds, to achieve on a daily basis a positive productive and happy life. Make your magic a daily, ongoing process, use the alchemy of the mind to enhance not only your life but that of this incredible place we all inhabit, the earth. Sit back and imagine for a moment just how much positive energy would be flowing around our planet if each and every single person only sent out positive thoughts. Yet, daily, millions of people on this planet are sending negative thoughts out to the Universe, these negative thoughts circulate and rebound across the planet. We are all effected by them, as anyone who had been to the shopping Mall feeling bright and cheerful only to return home with a sense of exhaustion bordering at times on depression and for no apparent reason. Many of you reading this will know that we have picked up on the general vibrations of the people in the Mall. Doesn't that tell us all something?
Whilst we do not have to wander around with a Pollyanna grin on our faces, and none of us will escape times of sadness, surely it is far better that on a daily basis we work a little magic and keep our thoughts happy and positive. Try it for just a day and see if you do not feel better.
