I have a very special client, Sophie. Sophie is 7, and we meet once a week to work on mindfulness, gratitude, and self-confidence. The other day, as we were playing with my Tibetan singing bowl, she found my purple, glittery magic wand from my childhood. She invented this game where we had to close our eyes and I would say what I wished for in my life. Then she would say "abracadabra simsalabim" and play the singing bowl. Then it was her turn. She always said I had MORE wishes I could make, which, of course, I loved!
Your intuition guides you towards your glowing life
One of her wishes was this: "I wish that I will have strong magical power for the rest of my life!". And my heart instantly screamed: "Sophie, you do!"
She's still so in tune with herself, with nature, with her intuition - before being put into a box of a "person" that has to follow rules + become a part of a system (that's a topic for another day). Over the years of going to school, studying, and starting a career, we often lose touch with ourselves. We do what others want us to, feel shy to express our needs, and prioritize work over our hobbies, family, and wellbeing.

How to get the magic back
In order to get the magic you used to experience as a child back into your life, there are 3 things you can do:
1 - TAKE TIME OUT
Make sure you take time out of the busy life daily. When you're constantly hustling, you there's no time for magic to happen and unfold.
2 - BECOME PRESENT
Stop thinking about what happened yesterday or what will be tomorrow. Release the past and stop worrying about the future. Become present. That way, you'll be able to see the miracles once you've created the space.
3 - PRACTICE GRATITUDE
Be thankful for what you have now. When we constantly think about what we don't have, it's hard to see the miracles that are already unfolding in front of our eyes.
Practicing these three simple magic tricks won't get the magic back with the blink of an eye though. It's about practicing, which means you will see results over time. You're strengthening a muscle you probably haven't used in a long time. Miracles will start showing up soon and you will be surprised by the amount of blessings you can receive once you open yourself up to them! Let's get it back, your glowing magic, just like Sophie still has it!
