Day 15 Magic Practice (Magically Heal Your Relatiionships)

By now we should know that whatever feelings we have, these feelings multiply, they are vibrations you send to the universe, and the universe will try to match it by sending you more of it.

So if you are feeling bad about a relationship, guess what? The bad feelings will multiply because what you send out, returns to you.

So what if someone hurt you so bad, and you can’t let go of that feeling? Can’t forgive? Can’t bless that person? Don’t worry if you fall in this category you are very normal, it takes courage above the normal, to be able to transcend the hurt and pain someone as caused you. They may have done a terrible injustice, and it has impacted you really badly.

But according to the author of ‘The Magic’, there is gold in every relationship. In order to see this you have to let go of who was right, and who was wrong. You can acknowledge that it is the past, and can no longer have power over you in a negative way, but can benefit you.

Whether it is you father, mother, ex partner, a sibling, an unpleasant encounter with a stranger, it does not matter. What matters is seeing how this negative experience as made you a stronger person.

For example, if you have an ex boyfriend/ex husband who is burning up your life write down this person’s name and thank him…

Y..(the person’s name) Thank you for the experience i had with you, it taught me what to avoid in my next relationship so that I can make better choices in choosing a partner in future.

An uninvolved mother…

Mom, thank you for the experience I had with you, I now see the importance of what a mom means, and I know that everything that I have longed for as a child from you, and never got, I will give to my own children. I will shower them with all the love and affection in my heart.

A teacher who said something horrible and affected you in a bad way;

Mr Y (name) Thank you for what you said to me, it made me realise that there are really weak people in this world, and it takes a weak person to say something this horrible, as a teacher myself, I now guard my words and makes sure that every word that comes out of my mouth nurtures that child’s self-esteem, and therefore I am loved as a teacher.

Pick one person with whom you have a negative relationship, and thank them for the experience you had with them, using the  format above.

As you see how the person has helped you to be a better person, you slowly begin to let go of that negative feeling, and will instead bear positive thoughts which will help you more on your path to abundance.

Day 12 Magic Practice (People Who Made a Difference)

All of us have come across some person or other who has made a huge positive impact in our lives. We might not have realised the value of this person back then, but over the years, and looking back, we see that it was a certain person who inspired us to be where we are today.

It might be a teacher, an uncle or aunt, a neighbour, a counselor, nanny, it could be anyone who instilled within you a seed of faith about your ability to do something and it spurred you on to explore and excel in this endeavor.

Your task is to be grateful for this person. Probably, you have lost contact with the person concerned, or you would feel awkward approaching him/her at this point, or whatever the situation may be.

But you can still have an imaginary talk with this person. In fact, choose three people whom you are truly grateful for, and tell them why you are grateful to them, and how their involvement in your life has made a huge positive difference in where you are today.

For me, this person is my best friend, so mine will like something like this:

Thank you, Y, for being a true friend to me. So many people had given up and turned their backs on me, but always, you remained faithful and steadfast at my side. Just by doing so, I learned to love myself, because I knew that at least one person out there cared for me. You cared and believed in me so much that I started learning to love and like people, enough to want to improve their lives too and inspire them, to never give up, and that every day is a second chance. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Do the same with two other people who made a huge impact on your life. According to the author of ‘The Magic’ it is best to ‘speak’ to all three chosen persons in a row, because that will amplify the feeling of gratitude.

And as the LOA states, the more you feel gratitude, the more it multiplies.

Day 9 The Magic Practice (The Money Magnet)

One of the greatest mistakes some of us seem to make when it comes to money issues, is our tendency to complain about  the bills we pay. Sure, no one likes to pay bills, but this act in itself is extremely anti-abundance. It defies the Law of Attraction, because whatever feelings we have at any given moment, these feelings multiply. So if you are feeling negative about giving out money, you will continue to create situations where you continue to feel that negativity about paying bills, and you will have more bills to pay. And so the cycle continues.

So how do we feel happy about paying our bills? The author of ‘The Magic’ suggests that we feel grateful for the goods and services that we received as a result of that bill. Because we were able to pay the bill we could enjoy hot water and electricity, if it was a grocery bill, feel the gratitude for the delicious meals you were able to eat because you could pay that grocery bill.

And to increase this sense of gratitude, take all your previously paid bills, and write on the bill, ‘thank you-paid’. Find at least 10 bills you have paid in the past and write ‘thank you-paid’ on it. If you have unpaid bills and haven’t paid, or haven’t yet the money write, ‘thank you for the money’, and then when you do receive the money write thank you-paid.

You will feel an enormous sense of gratitude, and not only this, you will remember that you have received a great service or product simply because you were blessed to have the money to pay your bills.

Another practice related to paying bills involved imagining that you are receiving exactly the same amount of money as the bill that lies before you. Instead of fretting on a negative feeling, feel as if have just been given that amount, feel the joy of receiving.

As the Law of Attraction brings you exactly how you think or feel, you are sure to attract more of the good stuff into your life.

Day 5 (Magical Practice- Magical Money)

Been practicing the magic for 5 days, and so far, so good. I feel so energized and enriched. Keeping this magical journey, draws me into continuous awareness to alter my thoughts whenever my subconscious unwittingly decides to tempt me with complaints. I just shove that sorry thought out of my mind and replace it with something positive.

Today’s magical practice is once again involves an affirmationand consists of two parts.

Think back to your childhood and list all the things that you had, all the privileges and opportunities that came to you at no cost at all. For example, did you get a car ride to school? Were you fortunate to get good dental treatment? Did you always come home to a deliciously cooked meal? Did your school have extramural activities that you were able to participate in? Did you learn to play a musical instrument? Did you have opportunities to develop your talent? All these things were blessings that you were showered upon you, things that other kids might not have had, things that made your life and childhood easy, and even a joy. Now is the time to express gratitude for all those blessings. Those things were at a cost, someone had to pay, and it was not you, yet the money for it, the opportunities, for you were always there, free of charge.

Part 1

List all the things that you received in your childhood that you were grateful for:

1. Thank you, that I had the opportunity to attend and complete all my school years.

2. Thank you for the home-cooked meal that was always waiting for me after a long day at school.

3. Thank you for the car ride that I had to school every  morning through all my twelve years of schooling.

4. Thank you for all the essential items I had at my fingertips, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, etc.

5. Thank you for the TV that we had that kept me entertained throughout my childhod years.

6. Thank you for the clean room, with pretty curtains, beddings, and carpets, and for the furnishing in  my room that made it a pleasure to be in my own personal space to play, read, do my homework, and sleep with comfort.

7. Thank you for the large spacious backyard, and front garden where I could play safely during the long summer months.

8. Thank you for the kitchen that was always stocked with sweet goodies, cakes, biscuits, chips, chocolates, and all the things kids love, as well as the healthy things such as fruits that were also readily available.

9. Thank you for the endless supply of water and electricity that came with the turn of a tap, and the flip of a switch.

10. Thank you for the clothes I was given, and that I always had something warm to wear  on those bitter cold winter days.

Part 2

Thank You For All The Money I Have Ever Received Throughout My Life

Write this affirmation on a dollar bill (or stick it on the dollar bill) and place it where you can see it throughout the day. Whenever you see it during the

day affirm that you are grateful for all the money that you have ever received. Do this as many times as possible

Day 3 (Magic Practice- Magic Relationships)

Today’s magical practice is to be grateful for three people who have made a positive impact in our lives. First I will choose, the photos of three different people, then write five things that makes me grateful to have or have had them in my life.

My Husband:

Thank you T, for showing me how to love again, after all those years of heartbreak because now I know that love is possible if you just truly, firmly believe in it.

Thank you T, for being a great support early in our relationship when we hardly even knew each other that well, and carrying me through that awful phase when I lost my job because you helped me to still see my talents, and to believe in myself despite setbacks.

Thank you T, for introducing me to your wonderful family, so loving and different to my own, because it is like a second chance for me to have a family who supports and respects me in a way that my own family never did.

Thank you T, for loving me unconditionally despite my past because it taught me that there are people in this world who can overlook a past and accept one for who we are in the present and who we intend to be in future.

Thank you, T, for all these lovely memories and photos that we have made in just more than a year of knowing each other, because this short time feels more meaningful than even ten  or twenty years before we met and I know that our baby girl to come, will have a happy childhood.

My Best Friend

Thank you Y, for sticking by my side for the last 11 years, despite all the issues we have had because you taught me to be a real friend.

Thank you Y, for forgiving me at times when I have done or said nasty things in anger, only to regret it, because you understood I didn’t mean what I had done or said, and understood the real issues beneath the outburst which was not about trying to hurt you but other happenings in my life.

Thank you, Y for all the times when you just dropped whatever you were doing to be at my side, even risking leaving your work, when I was in a tough situation and crying out for help because you showed me that you cared and I was worth (in dire moments) more than what you were doing.

Thank you Y, for still sticking around even when I left you, many times, to live and work abroad, leaving you by yourself, because you taught me that true friendship knows no distance nor boundaries.

Thank you Y, for being at my side on my wedding day and through all the wedding plans, my greatest supporter, when even my sisters and cousins made themselves disappear, and even though your fiance had just called off your own wedding just five months before. My heart was aching for you and I was so grateful because you showed me how you could be happy for someone despite your own sorrows.

Oprah (Yep, the media celebrity!)

Thank you, Oprah for always being in my living room as if you were a great mother to me in my adolescent years when I had no one to turn to because you were my inspiration to overcome all those issues to make myself stronger.

Thank you, Oprah, for always having just the right show to heal whatever phase I was going through in my life, because it was like God was guiding me to you, and you were at that time better than any real person.

Thank you, Oprah, for all your generosity, because you taught me that great people become great because of their love for others and that giving never depletes but makes one stronger.

Thank you Oprah, for teaching me that a women can have as much power as men, and that when great women rule, their power through compassion can make the whole world be moved and alter people’s minds to heal the world.

Thank you Oprah, for teaching the world that we are great for who we are, and that anyone can overcome racial, class, and gender boundaries.

That’s it for today.

I still have to do the daily gratitude list, but will do it mentally seeing that time is a bit off today.

And tonight I will take my magic rock (see day 2) and be grateful for the best thing that happened today.

Day 2 ( Magic Practice-The Magic Rock)

My magic practice for today is to find a rock. Any rock. It doesn’t have to be expensive, or special or anything (but you can if you want), you can even get one from your garden. The whole idea is not that this rock is magical, because in fact it isn’t.

What you will do with this rock is to hold it in your hand every night before you fall asleep and say aloud the best thing that happened that day. In this way you will surely end your day with a feeling of success, that you had a meaningful day. You could call your rock the ‘gratitude rock’. As you can see, there is nothing magical about the rock. it is merely a reminder to be grateful, and according to the Law of Attraction, gratitude works like magic.

Next is my list of 10 things I am grateful for:

1. I am grateful for all the free audio books on Youtube, such as ‘The Science of Being Great’ because it is free and has also helped me on my personal transformation journey.

2. I am grateful that the kitchen AC has been fixed- finally- after a month of waiting for proper assistance because it is now a lot better seeing that I am living in this desert heat.

3. I am truly thankful for having health insurance (I didn’t for many years) because it really does make a huge difference in my quality of life.

4. I am blessed to have all this free time to do as I please (in a constructive manner) because I have worked very hard and deserve this amazing break.

5. I am grateful for the lovely, huge box of chocs my husband received from his client because they unwittingly chose all my favourite chocolates, and it’s enough to last six months.

6. I am grateful that my husband understands me (and the dysfunctional family I come from!) because he is able to console me, and help me to improve myself and overcome my past.

7. I am grateful for all the places I have worked, because each place has contributed to the person that I am today.

8. I am grateful for being married and to be a mom soon because exactly two years ago I at this time would have that it was impossible to find someone who could ever love me, and now I know the power of prayer (combined with the law of attraction).

9. I am grateful for having a great sense of intuition because I truly feel guided every step of the way.

10. I am grateful for ice cream in the fridge because I will have some now! 🙂

As you can see, it is not very hard to be grateful, and as I am sitting here I am already feeling positive and inspired to make the most of the day ahead.

Day 1 (Magic Practice-Counting My Blessings)

So it’s Day 1, and the magic practice of the day is to list 10 things that I am grateful for in my life and why, and to say thank you, thank you, thank you, at the end of each point. The book states a point for saying thank you three times, but I won’t go deeper into it’s meaning, just know that it has a beneficial significance.

So here goes:

1. I am so blessed to have a found my soulmate because my life has become so much more meaning since we have been together.

2. I am grateful for my qualifications and the opportunity to go to university because it has allowed me to work abroad and travel.

3. I am truly grateful for my nephews because they have taught me how to feel love again at a time when I was so out of love and out of sync with reality. I am grateful because my love for them gave me a purpose to once again pick myself up and persevere.

4. I am so blessed to have my best friend because she reminds me of who I am and how far I have come in life, and always reminds me of my dreams.

5. I am grateful for all the not-so-nice people in my life because they have taught me to be more kinder and more compassionate towards all others.

6. I am grateful for being able to overcome all the obstacles I have ever encountered in my life, no matter how tough it was, because I learned that I am strong and powerful and can overcome anything and motivate others through my experience.

7. I am grateful for my unborn baby whom I will meet in a few months because she will bring great joy in my life.

8. I am truly blessed to have more than enough of everything I need because I know that so many have to live without, and having more means I can share more with others.

9. I am grateful for all my prayers that were ever answered because it reminds me that I am taken care of at all times, and when tough times comes and I feel like giving up, I can look back and renew my faith.

10. I am grateful for my cooking skills that have developed so beautifully over the last year, because it has shown me that it is never too late to learn to cook (me at the age of 32).

And that’s it for today. I have to keep returning to my list as often as I can today, or at least read it with heartfelt gratitude before I go to sleep tonight.

The Start of my Magical Journey

Since discovering the Law of Attraction I have been a great follower of it’s miraculous benefits to myself and all those around me.

If you are familiar with ‘The Secret” and ‘The Power’ you will know what I am talking about. If not, please read about it, of course, only if you are interested.

In my blog I will be working on the book, called ‘The Magic’. It includes gratitude practices for each day of the month, but you can also follow each practice week by week. I will try to post something everyday of the week. Weekends might be tricky for me, so I might just follow previous practices on weekend days and continue during the next weekday.

I am by no means promoting ‘The Magic’ and of course will not gain anything from doing so. My sole intention is to share my journey with you and perhaps inspire you to do the same.

At the start of every new day’s practice I will explain what is required followed by the practice itself.
