Come on, start bringing a sense of magic into your life and enjoy the benefits.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Practice Every Day
Step 1. Practice meditation
Meditation is a practice that can reduce stress and help you have a calmer mind. This feeling of peace can improve overall physical and emotional health. Try some of the following meditation styles to find the one that best suits your needs:
- Guided meditation uses mental images of places and experiences that calm and heal you.
- Mantra meditation makes use of repeated phrases, focusing attention on these phrases and getting rid of unwanted thoughts or distractions.
- Mindfulness meditation involves observing separate thoughts so as to allow them to pass without you needing to interact with them.
- Tai Chi and Qi Gong are moving meditations that concentrate on balance, movement, and deep breathing.
- Yoga uses physical postures to keep you focused on the present moment and get rid of distracting thoughts.
- No matter what style of meditation you choose, the key to success lies in your ability to focus uninterruptedly throughout the meditation session. Try observing your lifestyle and daily routine to determine the best time to meditate. You can do this in the morning, before the kids wake up, or after they go to school. Turn off cell phones, TVs, and other distracting devices. From this point on, you are officially unreachable to the outside world and ready to start a meditation session.
Step 2. Do some visualization
Visualization is a mental exercise that leads you to imagine a scene or situation as clearly as possible. You can use this technique to place yourself in a supportive and peaceful setting to help build feelings of well-being and self-empowerment. Visualization can also be used to envision success in whatever field you are in, or the obstacles that might stand in your way and how to conquer them.
- Try to engage all the senses when practicing visualization.
- For example, you can imagine a peaceful forest that you can explore. As you do so, try to imagine not only the visual aspects, but also the sounds, smells, and smells of the place.
- You can use this technique to help visualize your goals in life.
- That said, visualization can help facilitate healing when used for this purpose.
Step 3. Say a prayer and thanksgiving
Focusing on compassion, love, and gratitude can help you have inner peace and good mental health. If you like to pray, giving thanks through prayer can be another way to focus on what's important to you.
Part 2 of 3: Blessing the Home for Everyday Miracles
Step 1. Find a reason to bless the house
If you want to bring magic into your life, bringing it home is a powerful way to achieve it. By blessing your home, you can make it a special place through the ritual. Rituals are carried out by using symbolic actions to build certain attitudes or feelings about a place or object, connecting the "sacred" with the "worldly". While you are free to define these symbolic connections, there are some general associations that can be used.
- Lavender, cedarwood, and eucalyptus are all believed to have purifying properties.
- You can perform a blessing ritual at sunrise, facing east, as a symbolic connection to a new day can make your home a new and magical place.
Step 2. Clean the house
Cleaning your house can affect your mood and the way you view the space you live in. By cleaning the house before the blessing ritual, you are also sending a message to yourself that you are making changes and cleaning the house before dedicating it as your domain.
- Clean the whole house while focusing on your intention to make environmental updates.
- Cleaning the house can send a message to yourself that you have control over your environment and are working to improve it.
Step 3. Prepare the chosen place to perform the ritual
Before starting the blessing ritual, you need to take some time to arrange the place to be used. You must create a supportive atmosphere that engages all the senses to help make the blessing ritual feel more extraordinary and special for you and anyone else participating.
- Light some incense or use a diffuser and essential oils.
- Play music that will bring the ideal mood for the blessing ritual.
- Say a few words that are important to you and express the will for the whole house and the purpose of the ritual.
Step 4. Light the candle
In some spiritual traditions, candles are used during rituals. When candles are used for spiritual purposes, it is common practice to consider the color of the candle, which has a symbolic meaning. You can also engrave any symbols you like on the candles. It is said that when a candle burns, the symbolic aspects are projected onto the surrounding environment.
- White candles are sometimes associated with purification.
- Light blue candles are thought to bring harmony and joy.
- Yellow candles can represent joy and happiness.
Step 5. Say your blessings and affirmations
Carry candles from room to room, saying a blessing for each room. The blessing can be as long or short as you like, the important thing is that it contains hope for the room. Go to every room in the house with a candle until you bless the whole house.
- An example of an affirmation for the bedroom might be, “When I am in this room, I will feel safe and comfortable. I will sleep and wake up refreshed.”
- By saying these affirmations in each room, you focus on the positive things about yourself and the room as you enter it. This positive thinking can bring a number of health benefits.
Step 6. Let the candle burn
In most traditions, when candles are used in a ritual, they must be allowed to burn completely. The belief behind this practice is that the candle releases your will when it burns and extinguishing the candle will stop this process. Burning the candle until it runs out is believed to have the maximum effect.
Do not leave a candle unattended while it is burning
Part 3 of 3: Spreading the Magic
Step 1. Volunteer in your community
Look to your local community for volunteer opportunities. Volunteering is an ideal way to help those around you in need. Spread the magic to those around you by trying the following ideas:
- Visit a local dog and cat shelter to volunteer.
- If your city has a homeless shelter or community service program, try volunteering there.
- Public libraries can also be a great option for volunteering.
Step 2. Pay someone's bill
You can help make someone have a magical day by paying the bills. If you're in line for coffee or snacks, you can ask the waiter to take the next customer's bill or at least leave some money to pay the bill.
Step 3. Donate your favorite items to charity
If you have extra cash, you might consider donating to a charity of your choice. There are many reputable charitable foundations to choose from, each with a different purpose. Take a look at the examples below to get an idea of some of the charities that may accept your donation:
- The Indonesian Cancer Foundation uses donations to help cancer patients.
- The Cheshire Guesthouse Foundation helps adult men and women with disabilities by teaching them various skills so they can find work and live independently.
- The Wings of Mother Foundation is an official institution that helps neglected children and helps find adoptive parents.
Tips
- Try asking a friend or family member to help with the blessing ritual.
- If you practice meditation, try to do it every day for 5 minutes.
- Everyday magic is all about visualizing, becoming more in tune with the world around you, and taking conscious action.
