sacred journeys reflections

20 Count Reflection for December 1st, 2010

The number 18 represents "The Magical Self"

Many of us go through life believing that we are bound and restricted by the circumstance and life situation we find ourselves living in. It can feel like a trap, a prison or an unavoidable burden that we have no choice but to bear. What it breeds in us are feelings like dissatisfaction, powerlessness and depression. Life becomes a drudgery of repeating the same unfulfilling experiences day after day. This can erode and strip away the inner knowing that we deserve more and fill our minds with stories and illusions explaining why our life isn’t working and going in the direction we had hoped. Whether we choose to believe and accept this or not, we are far more powerful than we usually give ourselves credit for. What we have lost sight of is our sacredness as human beings, who deserve to live in and create the life that satiates our hungers and fulfills our heart’s desires. We are and have always been magical beings, capable of making any change and transformation that we set our minds to.

The sad truth is that we live in a world that has failed us as sacred humans. We all deserve to be respected and supported in the choices and decisions we make on our journey through life. It is not only our birthright to dream, but it is also our right to live our lives in the pursuit and manifestation of our dreams. Our soul is constantly beckoning us to grow and change and evolve beyond our present experiences, circumstances and situations. It takes courage, self assuredness and self security to make the necessary changes to step out and lay claim to living our own lives, our own way. Ultimately we must be willing to stand on our own with the knowledge that we have all the power, personal resources and ability to live in this way.

Here is an exercise for you to use that will help develop your skills as a sacred and magical human. As soon as you wake up each morning, lay in bed for a few moments and clear your mind from any errant or distracting thoughts and say to yourself “Good morning Sacred Self”. Lay there for a few more moments and allow the words to settle into your body. If you wish to add to this exercise, every time you look into a mirror, take a moment to look into your own eyes and say “Hello Sacred Self”.
