Magic

My daughter is heavily into fairies these days.  I wish I could bottle up this time in her life and save it in a locket close to my heart.  The innocence and the sense of magic she holds is just amazing and precious (especially in today's world).  I have tried to hold her sense of magic inside my own heart as I approach new things.  Everything that I do - when I go to a workshop, when I take a yoga class, it is all part of the same learning; it is just magic.  That is a lot of what yoga and meditation have brought back into my life...When I was little, I loved fairy tales and role playing with dolls, as most young girls do...there was a sense of magic all over the place - I would close my bedroom door and write stories for hours about slumber parties, fairy godmothers, you name it.  My Mom and I chuckle about it to this day ("Oh the stories you used to write!" she'd say - and sometimes I still crave that creativity for sure!)  But you arrive at adulthood and that magic is gone.  There has been a hole in my heart at times (outside of the significant transforming moments of marriage, births etc.) - so, yoga and meditation have filled that hole for me and renewed my faith.  There is magic, there is guidance, there is spirituality, there is God (never felt there wasn't a God but it feels more solid these days). 
During my meditation practice while healing through my hip injury, I'd park myself on a cushion upstairs in the attic (its finished space, not creepy at all) inside this huge closet (currently turning that into a nice shrine!) - I was surrounded by my daughter's fairy dress up wings and Barbie stuff....so it added to the aura (pretty funny!)....I encorporated my favorite candles, incense and aromatherapy that in itself brings a smile to my face (gotta try one of the Golden Earh Chakra oils my friends - they are heavenly - I especially recommend Chakra oil #2!).
I have enjoyed that time to pause and heal even though it was a struggle inside to relax.  The divine spark, the magic, the beauty that we yearn for as adults are our own.  In yoga and in meditation, this is what we are learning and practicing.    Keep visiting our site and see what new and exciting things we will be offering to enhance the spark of magic in your practice!  Namatse,
