Magical Tip of the Day: RECHARGE!
Feeling bummed out and sleepy? Kinda sorta into magic? Well, you need to recharge, baby! The few works of magic you may have done already left you feeling drained–and some days of hard work make you feel that way too. Those energy stores don’t just refill themselves.
Plugging In and Charging Up
Just as you need food to keep your engine running and sleep to keep the mind in order, you need to recharge your magical energy.
How on Earth do you do this? Well, it’s nothing special really, and it’s mostly up to you. Think of things to do that relax you. Whether it’s taking a walk outside and observing the beauty of nature, or finding solace in a nice piece of Classical music. Doing things that give you peace recharge you.
Try sitting outside on your break at work. I know it might be cold this late in November, but do it. Find a place that has a bit of nature in it. Trees are something I always gravitate to. Look at the tree, find what makes it beautiful to you. The very act of appreciating something causes an energy exchange to take place between you and your object (the tree in this case). With this energy exchange, like a rechargeable battery plugged into the wall, you will become recharged.
Appreciation Is Key
Appreciation is key to recharging. Whatever act you choose to use as a tool to recharge, whether it’s reading a book or watching dancers express in movement, it has to be done with a sense of appreciation. If you find doing any of the things I mention here taxing, or they just down-right don’t work for you, you need to keep looking. There is something out there that you love. When you see it, it makes the world shine for you. It was created just for you, and you were meant to share with it.
Magic is about the coming together of things. Sometimes it’s people. Sometimes it’s nature. Most importantly it’s always something that you find complete joy and peace of mind being and expressing with. To quote a saint: “It is in giving that we receive.” We can’t help but recharge when we connect in this way.
Your Ultimate Goal
This connection that recharges you, your ultimate goal with it is to remain connected 24-7. Jesus spoke about this connection when he asked his followers to “love thy neighbor as thyself.” If you take the time to appreciate everything and everyone around you–find the beauty in them–then you’ll not find the need to recharge anymore. You’ll be on an ever-loving path, always be connected, and always have the flow of magical energy in your life. Only limited by what you hold true in your mind.
