We can literally create magic with our mouths (that's what he said - you had to of known that was coming). The words we use, the way we speak, the tone of our voice.... MAGIC! Why do you think it's called SPELLING when you write out words????..... You are creating magic spells with everything you SAY, and your body is LISTENING! As we head into the magic of the holiday season, I thought this would be a great time to remind you of just how MAGIC you are!
We as humans are created in this enchanting tapestry of our earthly existence, and our words possess a TON magical qualities. The way we speak to ourselves can cast spells that resonate through our physical bodies and shape not only our healing journey, but also our physical being. It's not somehting we are taught anymore, so that's why I am sharing this. Let's embark on a mystical exploration of the transformative power that lies within the words we choose for ourselves, shall we?
Imagine your words as a wand, each syllable casting a spell that is directed right at YOU. Everytime you say something, the energy of those words encompass your being. Are you speaking health and hapiiness into your body? Or are you speaking judgements, and harm?
The affirmations we choose, the kindness or lack there of we extend to ourselves – these are the magical incantations that nurture or break down our souls and bodies.
One of the things I have been trying to do, is to become more aware of my words. Listening to HOW I speak of myself, or even how I allow other to speak of me in my precence has changed a lot over the past couple years. I used to be very attached to saying things like; "I am too tired." "I am too fat for my pants." "I am not smart enough to teach people that." The simplest spells often carry the most profound magic, so these little statements kept me beleiving this was true, and my reality was just this way. I was (and still do at times, trust me it's a process) speak these spells to myself, then I would get frustrated that I was always TIRED. A good friend noticed that everytime we would try to get togtehr, I would say things like "life is to busy, I am to busy, Everything is so busy." She pointed this out to me and asked me to try to say Life is FULL instead. Full felt like abdunance, like it had the oppurtunity to be a great full day, not just a busy hectic day that had me feeling EXHAUSTED. Small shift in how I said things, but I noticed that it started to create a big shift in how I felt about the hectic and crazy lifes we live.
It seems simple enough right? Just complete the "I am" statements with words that lift your spirit. Start to switch out words that feel heavy and cumberswome with statements like "I am strong," "I am resilient," "I am worthy" "I am excited for the tasks ahead" – these are incantations that feel lighter. Choose your "I am" spells wisely, and speak the reality that you WANT. This is true for our physical well-being, our words have the potential to be big time healers. Instead of saying, "I am unwell," try the transformative spell of "I am in the process of healing." There is a famous quote from John Lennon where he says "Even if you are sick. Say you are healing. Words do manifest." This subtle shift in language invites the magic of healing and recovery into your life.
Know that you know just how MAGICAL your mouth is, why not try crafting your own spells through positive affirmations. "Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better." These words echo the ancient wisdom that our thoughts can shape our reality. Speak to yourself as you would to your best of friends. Try casting spells of kindness for YOURSELF and feel how soothing it can be for your soul. "I forgive myself," "I am doing my best," and "I deserve love" – these are incantations that can help you start to build more self-compassion.
