Day 20 Heart Magic

"Gratitude is the memory of the heart."

Jean-Baptiste Massieu (1743-1818)

French Revolution Activist

You might have figured out by now that with any magical practice of gratitude the aim is always to feel is as much as you can. This is because when you increase the feeling of gratitude on the inside, the things you have to be grateful for in the outside world increases too.

Eventually, after practicing gratitude for a long period of time, you will automatically feel it deeply in your heart. However, todays magical practice will collapse the time it would normally take for you to reach that level.

The Heart Magic practice is designed to powerfully increase the depths that you feel gratitude, by focusing your mind on the area of your heart as you say and feel the magical words, thank you. Scientific research has shown that by focusing on your heart as you feel gratitude, the rhythm of your heart immediately becomes much more even and harmonious, resulting in major improvements to your immune system and health. That gives you an idea of the power of Heart Magic. It takes a little practice the first time you try it, but it is worth the effort. After a few times you will get it, and each time you practice it your feeling of gratitude will increase exponentially.

To practice Heart Magic, focus your mind and your attention on the area around your heart. It doesnt matter if you focus on the inside or the outside of your body. Close your eyes, because it will make it easier, and while keeping your mind focused on your heart, mentally say the magic words, thank you. Once youve practiced it a few times, you wont need to close your eyes anymore, but as a general rule, you will feel more gratitude when you close your eyes.

There are several things you can do to help you get Heart Magic down really quickly. You can put your right hand on the area around your heart to keep your mind focused there while you say the magic words, thank you. Or you can imagine that the magic words, thank you, are coming out of your heart rather than your mind as you say them.

As part of todays magical practice, take your Top Ten Desire List and practice Heart Magic on each desire. Read each desire in your mind or out loud, and when you get to the end of reading each one, close your eyes, focus your mind on the area around your heart, keep your mind on your heart area, and say the magic words again, thank you, slowly. Again, you can use the tips Ive given above if it helps you. After you have finished Heart Magic on each of your desires, you will have not only increased the depth of gratitude you are able to reach, you will also have dramatically increased your gratitude for your top desires.

You can continue to practice Heart Magic on your desires regularly if you want to speed up the receiving of them, or you can use Heart Magic any time you say the magic words, thank you. Even just using Heart Magic a couple of times a day will have a big effect on your happiness and on the magic in your life.

Once you have practiced Heart Magic a few times you will feel a huge increase in the depth of your feeling, and with gratitude its all about the depth of the feeling, because the deeper the feeling the greater the abundance you will receive. The initial physical signs that youve increased the depth of your feeling could be that you get a tingling feeling around your heart, or feel a wave of joy rush through your body. Your eyes may fill with tears, or you may get goose bumps. But without exception, you will begin to feel depth of peace and happiness youve never felt before!

Day 26 Magically Transform Mistakes Into Blessings

"Turn your wounds into wisdom."

Oprah Winfrey (B. 1954)

Media Personality and Businesswoman

Every single mistake is a blessing in disguise. Todays magical practice will prove it, because youre about to discover that there are actually untold blessings hidden within every mistake!

A child makes many mistakes while learning how to ride a bike or write, and we dont give it a second thought because we know that through their mistakes they will learn and eventually master what theyre trying to do. So why is it that adults are so hard on themselves when they make a mistake? The same ruse that applies to children also applies to you. We all make mistakes, and if we didnt make them wed never learn anything, and we wouldnt grow any smarter or any wiser.

We have he freedom to make our own choices, and that means we dont learn from the mistake weve made, the pain weve suffered from it has been for nothing. In fact, by the law of attraction, we will make the same mistake over and over again, until the consequences hurt us so much that we finally learn from it! Its the very reason why mistakes hurt, so that we do learn from them and dont make them repeatedly.

To learn from a mistake, we first have to own it, and this is where many people can become undone, because they often blame someone else for their mistake.

Lets consider the scenario of being pulled over by the police for speeding and being given a speeding ticket. Instead of taking responsibility for the fact that we were speeding, we blame the police because they wore hiding in the bushes on the highway around a bend, we couldnt see them, they had a radar gun, and so we didnt stand a chance. But that mistake was ours, because we were the one who chose to speed.

The problem with blaming other people for out mistake is that we will still suffer the pain and consequences of our mistake, but we didnt learn from it, and so bingo! Well attract making the same mistake again.

You are human, you will make mistakes, and its one of the most beautiful things about being human, ut you must learn from your mistakes, otherwise your life will gave a lot of unnecessary pain.

How do you learn from a mistake? Gratitude!

No matter how bad something may seem, there are always, always, many things to be grateful for. When you look for as many things as you can to be grateful for in a mistake, you magically transform the mistake into blessings. Mistakes attract more mistakes, and blessings attract more blessings - which would you prefer?

Today, think about about  a mistake you have made in your life. It doesnt matter whether it was a big or small mistake, but choose one that still hurts when you think about it. Maybe you lost your temper with a person close to you and the relationship hasnt been the same since. Maybe you put blind faith in another person and got burned. Maybe you told a white lie to protect someone, and because of it you ended up in a difficult situation. You might have chosen the cheaper option on something, and it all went wrong and ended up costing you a whole lot more. You might have thought you wore making the right decision about something, but it completely backfired on you.

Once youve chosen a mistake to magically transform into blessings, look for the things to be grateful for. To help you, there are two questions you can ask yourself:

What did I learned from the mistake?

What are the good things that came out of the mistake?

The most important things to be grateful for about every mistake are the things you learned from it. And no matter what the mistake, there are always many good things that came out of it and altered your future for better. Think this through very carefully, and see if you can find a total of ten blessings to be grateful for. Every blessing you find has magical power. Write out your list in a gratitude journal or type them on a computer.

Lets take the example of being caught speeding by police car and receiving a fine:

1. Im grateful to the police for wanting to protect me from harming myself, because after all, that was all they were trying to do.

2. Im grateful to the police because if I am honest with myself, I was thinking about other things, and I wasnt concentrating on the road.

3. Im grateful to the police because it was foolish to put myself at risk speeding with a tire that needed to be replaced.

4. Im grateful to the police for the wake-up call. Being pulled over did affect me and it will make me watch my speed and drive more carefully in the future.

5. Im grateful to the police because somehow I had a wild idea that I could speed without getting caught, and without putting myself in danger. The seriousness of the police made me face up to the fact that I was putting both myself and others in serious danger.

6. Im grateful to the police because if I think about my own family being put in danger by other speeding drivers, then I definitely want to the police to stop speeding drivers.

7. Im really grateful to the police for the work they do in trying to ensure the safety of every person and family on the roads.

8. Im grateful to the police. They must see heartbreaking situations every day, and all theyre trying to do is protect my life and my familys life.

9. I am grateful to the police for making sure that I arrived home safely, and walked through the door to my family as I usually do.

10. I am grateful to the police because of all the possible consequences that could have stopped me from my speeding, the police pulling me over was the least harmful consequence, and it could have been the biggest blessing of my life.

I would strongly urge you to take any mistakes youve made in your life that you still feel bad about, and in your own time, follow this magnificent and magical practice. Think about it; through one mistake you have the power to bring many blessings! What else guarantees dividends like that?
