Feeling The Magic!

 

I am amused when I listen to people say that there is “no such thing as magic!”  I believe that everyday has lots of magic in it.  I think that many people are so busy trying to control their life and to control others around them that they miss the little pieces of magic that happen all the time.

Dictionary.com defines magic as a verb -

verb

move, change, or create by or as if by magic.

"he must have been magicked out of the car at the precise second it exploded"

Physics tells us that energy changes when force is applied to it thus creating a “magical’ change.    For example, when we hunting for a product on a store’s shelves and the product isn’t there.  We ask a store assistant to help us and they confirm that it is not where it should be, but, they spot it several spaces further on, and there is only one item.  They tell you it was misplaced.  Perhaps it was.  That you could find it when the item is out is magic.   

Another good example occurred when my husband and I were travelling.  We were picking up our luggage in Vancouver airport.  Ours was the last off.  Everyone else was gone.  My husband was looking at the name tags on our luggage and asked me if I had a felt pen in my purse.  Sometimes I do but this time I did not.  So he said, “I wish I had a good black felt pen to change the writing on our luggage tags.”  Literally moments after he said that, the luggage carousel which was still running, carried a good size black felt pen around to where we were standing.  Magic indeed!

Why Challenges Repeat On Us

 In past postings, I have talked about the lessons that we get in life.  This poster featuring a quote from the Buddhist teacher, Peña Chodron, explains the concept quite well.

Let me give some examples.  An acquaintance of mine was having a terrible time with dating.  She was using a dating app and it would seem to connect her with some great guy.  They would go out for a month or so, and then he would dump her.  She was feeling extremely awful about herself.  Her confidence took a huge hit as did her ability to trust and to manage her time. 

She finally did some self work using the Tapping Process, took a break from dating and deleted the dating app.  She spent close to a year doing things for herself and going out with girl friends to do things that she liked.  She even adopted a rescue dog.  She loved taking him to the dog park and taking walks with him.  You guessed it, on one of her outings, she met a wonderful man, with a dog, and found that they are very compatible.  They are good fun to be around and they are slowly combining their houses to one.

The lesson was that as long as she was trying to control her process and manage dating, meeting the right guy wouldn’t work.  When she let go of control and went with the flow, then the Universe “helped” her find a companion in two ways.
