You Are Magic

“The stars are not above you, they are within you — and they’ve been whispering your name all along.” Sage

Dear Ones,

The story currently believed by many on planet Earth is that we know nothing when we first enter this world. And so schooling, education and later jobs become an important focus. Somehow there is a belief that we need to become “something more” or even someone else. We believe we need to get a better education, a better job, and so we keep adding more and more stuff as we age.

But what if we have it all upside down? What if we enter this life as luminous eternal beings of love, creativity and wisdom? And what if the conditioning actually makes us forget who we truly are?

If you are reading these words chances are that you too could never be easily satisfied with the ready made answers to your biggest questions. Maybe you too always felt there was more to the story than you’ve been told? And maybe you too had to see for yourself rather than just blindly accept the common concepts and philosophy? So perhaps you dug deeper and had your own direct experience, a mystical experience? And maybe meditation was an important avenue for you too?

It is the most wonderful gift when we awaken to the truth of who we are. No one else can do it for us. Other people can inspire us, share their wisdom and insights but it can never replace our own clarity, insight and deep understanding. Our own direct experience and clear seeing can’t ever be taken away and has the potential to truly transform our lives.

When we remember that we are magical powerful beings, life will never be the same. We realise that we never lost the magic but only stopped believing in it. As children we all knew it. It was easy for us to believe or even be certain that we are magical. We loved listening to fairy tales and our own intuition was saying yes, yes, yes! Life was a grand adventure every day, even if it only took place in our parent’s back garden. We could turn every room, every little corner into the most magnificent space just by our own presence. We knew we could be anyone and do anything. And most of the time we made the most wonderful choices. We chose fun, adventure, laughter and magic.

I am sure neither of us gave up our magical kingdom overnight. It took months and years of schooling and training by well-meaning adults for us to start believing in our limitations, separation and lack. There is no one to blame as this seems to be part of the human story.

And there is actually a great gift in this story. Because once we awaken and see the magic again, this time no one and nothing can take it away any more. We understand and treasure it more than ever before simply because we now know how life feels when we give our magic away.

And so we allow our light to shine even if it’s too bright for others. We allow natural joy to guide us even if everyone around still believes in the virtue of struggle. We no longer accept limiting thoughts whether they come from our own mind or from others. We simply allow our life to be magical. We allow ourselves to be magic.

And so the most important question for you, dearest One, is: Do YOU believe in magic?

You are warmly welcome to join us for this week’s meditation
