Edited excerpt from chapter 10 "Being Magical" of my book Breathing Happiness
I have asked many things from life through visualization. It's about being convinced, believing without a doubt. Events can happen very quickly and changes can be created in a second. You just have to decide. Without the following tools, I would not have been able to achieve my dreams. Magic is first of all being aware of our desires and focusing on them. It's exciting to ask yourself what you want in life. If it becomes a heavy task and you don't enjoy it, you haven't understood the very essence of this "magic."
1 -To begin with (and we could stop there because this action of feeling alive is so rich that in itself it provides happiness throughout our day; some authors have described this powerful power when they were prisoners in camps), happiness is to cherish with emotions what we possess (health, family, passions, etc.) and appreciate, give thanks (see soon "the gratitude notebook" on jmag which allows us to strengthen our spirit);
2- “Speak with life” and manifest :
Take advantage of the effects of the full moon to write your dearest, wildest wishes.
Write, draw what you desire. I have already covered my walls with words, drawings and symbols, in order to send messages of what I desired to life; I started in my early twenties with ribbons and beautiful wrapping papers to receive in the same week a gift from Brazil, from a family who had known me when I was two years old. I could never have imagined receiving something from them. This gesture marked me since it was the first time I asked and received in this way. So I continued sending signs to life and receiving from it. I am in constant communication with it. I have maintained this mania.
Displaying drawings, inspiring phrases and your vision board (your wishes on paper) automatically generate positive triggers and a good mood.
3-Feel , feel the benefits of what the desired situations bring us: really live them, go so far as to share them, imagine them... far away! see ourselves growing old with them. The positive side, according to some philosophers, is that, if it is done well, our brain will seek the same benefits as if we really had what we desire. Happiness guaranteed. Feel the emotions associated with obtaining our desires, take the time, each day, to realize what our wishes bring us: that is the key! As if the more we saw the colors, smelled the odors, lived the effects of our desired wishes with all our senses we create a magnetic effect, a speed of manifestation. Thus, rocking my baby when he was a few months old, I turned off the TV, the radio, to calm myself and repeat to myself this approximate sentence taken from an amazing film ("What the bleep do we know" for those who want to venture!):
"I take this moment to create what I want (and then, I feel everything I want, in joy) . Now, if it is true that I am capable of it, send me (I speak to life) a sign today to show me that you are paying attention to all these things that I create ( I still feel them) and send them in a surprising way so that I am certain that it comes from you and that I am fascinated by my power." The next day, I start again with more affirmation. The good thing is that the more signs we have, the more confidence we have and the more we succeed. With our eyes open or closed, we do nothing other than feel what we want, imagining in the smallest details what achieving our goals brings us: the smells, what surrounds us, how we are, what it does to us, what we see, what we hear, etc. We involve all our senses.
Most importantly, forget about being strict, just do it with fun and flexibility! No need to measure your progress! And what a wonderful time to spend with your children, with those you love, getting to know them and what's important to them and to you! My vision board was sitting around for a month before New Year's Day, playing with images and words so much.
4-Listening to the signs
This openness alone can help you greatly because it takes us out of our machine and opens us to magic, to flexibility, to the realization of our life. When I have a dear wish, I take a step towards it once it is defined and felt (example: making a call, talking about it, what comes to us and makes us walk on the path towards our dream). Then I receive the answer: is it positive? I continue, if not, I take another path...
5-Don't force anything
Stay positive. The signs are guiding us, are we in the right place or not? We must not persist, but rather try a different path that will bring us greater happiness . We must believe that everything happens for a reason and remain focused on our desires. Not forcing does not mean doing nothing. We must always walk towards our dreams to achieve them. Follow what "it tells us", listen without doubting or underestimating our instinct, it guides us, shows us the way to live our life better.
In closing, a friend who has become a master at this practice mentioned to me that it was often more profitable for him to apply himself to it than to go on vacation... Give happiness to those you love who cannot go abroad by sending them this note. I don't go away in the summer, I don't take vacations but I have fun playing the tourist at home in my region and making my wishes, my life, come true with each passing day!
