Magic isn’t just something you do on special occasions; it should be part of your everyday life.
It’s not something that you turn on and off, you are the magic, you are constantly creating.
Because of this fact, it’s important to be aware of your energy and how you use it to direct your magic.
When you practice consciously using your magic on a daily basis you become more confident in your power of creation.
You bring back the mystery and the awe to your life.
When you start to work with your energy you remember how powerful you actually are.
Before we look at daily ways to incorporate your magic, I want you to practice becoming aware of and directing your energy, as this is the core foundation of weaving your magic.
Hold your hands about 1m apart from each other, palms facing each other.
Close your eyes and notice if you can feel anything.
Keep moving your hands closer and closer, stopping each time for a few moments, to see when you become aware of your energy.
You might feel your energy as a pulse, a small magnetic pull, you could sense heat, or tingling in your hands and fingers.
Make a note of what you felt.
Stop and rest.
Shake your hands gently with your fingers loose, this resets the energy in your hands.
Repeat the same exercise, but this time when your hands are about 20cm apart, palms facing each other, hold them there and imagine you’re now holding a ball of energy between your hands.
Feel the ball getting stronger and stronger.
The energy becoming more powerful.
After a minute or so, of doing this, bring in your breath.
On the inhale, feel the energy in your hands become stronger.
On the exhale, feel the energy leaving your hands.
When you can feel the energy clearly, start to move your hands back and forth, and see if you can feel the energy change and move as your hands do.
If you push your hands closer together, does the energy feel denser?
As you pull your hands further apart, can you feel the energy stretch?
Note down what you notice.
When you’re comfortable with that exercise, hold the ball of energy in your hands once more, but this time practice telling it what to do.
Keep your hands 20 cm apart, but this time tell your energy to feel heavier and denser. Tell it to move to the left hand, and then to the right.
Practice directing your energy with your intention.
Note down your experiences, amd what you notice.
When you’ve finished the exercise, place your hands over your Creative Cauldron, your energetic Womb space, and feel yourself absorbing your energy.
Shake your hands, with your finger loose, to clear any excess energy and reset your energy.
Practice this regularly to deepen your connection with your own energy and hone your skills of how to consciously direct it.
If you find it hard to connect with the energy in your hands, rub your hands together briskly, and try the exercises again.
Here’s some ideas on how to practice your magic daily, and as you do, remember to connect with your energy and then use your intention to direct your energy into the following:

There’s no doubt that your self-care is essential to your health and well-being. Even more so, as you embark on this journey of awakening your magical self.
