Consolidate your energy for use when most needed. Hone it so that its use will be efficient and concise, with little waste and even less expenditure, for energy that is consolidated and honed and appropriately directed will deliver quick and excellent results. Your energy is your life force and how you elect to use it effects everything else in your life. Tired? Moody? Angry? Fearful? Sick? Worried? Nervous? Feeling unloved, rejected, abandoned, left behind? All of these things effect your energy levels and they also effect what comes to you. Your energy effects and draws to you like energy. Get in alignment with abundance, with responsibility, with growth and change, with love and compassion, with health and happiness and then see what happens as you hone your energy to align with such possibilities. Anything is possible, but it’s up to you to get yourself ready to be available to receive and utilize all that is, and positivity provides the right energetic charge.
Take responsibility for the self in a way that does no harm to others, in a way that is deeply personal and deeply healing. Let go of self-reproaching behaviors so that all that you do is in honor of your evolving self. Focus on your growth and fulfillment. Call upon your Higher Self to aid you in your endeavors. Intend health and inner peace. Intend calmness and kindness and a loving outlook, within and without. That is taking responsibility for the self.

This is the essential question to ask, as you begin each day: “Where will Magic greet me today?” No room for doubt in this question. Magic will happen. Intend to be aware and present for this most certain encounter.
Magic will happen because it is our other side, our energetic half. How could we not experience, in some way, our mysterious magical side, each and every day?
We live it in our dreams and it makes its appearance at unexpected moments in the day. A sudden deja vu, sounds from the environment that respond to our thoughts, a fleeting glimpse of an entity scooting into the bush, a smile from the moon, a song that appears and engulfs, a phrase spoken to the mind from within, a pressure on our arm, a knowing certainty that something will happen—these are but a few of the infinite possibilities of visitation from our magical side.
Sometimes the magic completely projects itself upon another person. We may be seized with attraction, or thunderstruck with terror to encounter such a powerful being. Feeling inadequate, we may shrink ourselves or doubt our worthiness. In these instances, we experience our magic vicariously, as we are unaware that the magic we feel really emanates from within ourselves.
“Not worthy,” does the smallness within becry? That’s normal, because it is normality that we cling to, as we know how rattling the magic can be. Secretly, we long to merge with our magic, yet we titrate its impact with wishing and hoping to remain safely insulated from direct exposure to its live current. This is fortified by doubting our worthiness.
Magic defies reason. Magic shatters, period. If it be the magic of a soul encounter, it delightfully transports us to an ecstatic world far beyond the world of reason. If it be a dark encounter with black magic, it threatens to devour the self. We never know for certain how or in which form it will appear, hence, the vigilance to seek safety behind the veils of true encounter.
The world stage is replete with magicians at present that excite us with their tricks. They serve to remind us that anything truly is possible, nothing is really as solid and reasonable as we believe. But don’t merely be vicarious spectators at these main events; fully show up for the main events in your own life! And such events are the Magic that awaits you this day.
Reason, our impeccably trained other half, longs to commune with its magical side but is terrified of loss of control to a power greater than itself. All our addictions are sullied pathways to our magic, protected by badness. Reason structures an out-of-control encounter that it can then regret, remaining safely in charge through the feeling of guilt.
Reason itself is magical. To construct a world that can be completely accounted for with reason is one magical feat. The problem for reason is that, in and of itself, it is boring; it lacks the power of magic. This fact might explain our current political reality, where the attraction to irrational impulse has consistently trumped reason.
The real challenge is to bring reason and magic into complementary alignment. Reason is a formidable guide with which to know and navigate the world. Magic, on the other hand, is infinite possibility in many worlds. Reason can steady and affirm the self as it journeys into infinite possibility, whereby supporting one’s quest for wholeness. To do this, reason needs to suspend and refine its normal judging function, granting the self encounters with its magical side in everyday life.
Thus, begin each day with a direct question to magic: “Where will WE meet today?”
Know that you will. Ask reason to guide you to its appearance and to hold you steady in the grip of its encounter. Ask reason to be expanded and blessed by the realness of its communion with magic. Roll up for the Magical Mystery Tour, you won’t regret it!
A warrior knows that every action is important, and so a warrior keeps focused on intent and staying on a path with heart no matter the situations or circumstances that arise. A warrior does not go to self-pity, blame, or shame but takes responsibility for every action as if it were the most important act of the day, because a warrior knows that every act has merit in some degree. Find the warrior within, set your intent, and adhere to the ways of the warrior. Keep your intent alive and well!
Align once again with your intent. Restate your direction and put your feet down upon your path of heart. Let yourself know that you can do it, that you can uphold your conviction to travel the warrior’s path. It is a path of mystery, a path that is largely unknown, and yet it is the most fulfilling journey you will ever take.
