We all agreed there is so much what could be termed as ‘magic’ within what we experience and how we live each day. When you think of the intricacy of the natural world around us, the beauty, the synchronicities, the capacity to renew, grow and change, it’s truly incredible.
What creates a sense of magic in you? From the simple to the grand, from the quirky to the profound, so much magic to observe ‘out there’ and within us, in words, nature, music, art and….
Once again, many lovely stories and expressions, and sharing during this session.
Feel free to comment or pass on for others to experience these short journeys.
The next week’s word is ‘pet’.
Hope to see you there.
our magic began at conception
as the first organ to grow
It’s the heart at this inception
to supply the nutrients to flow
into our body that holds
the beauty of our humanity.
This magic journey that unfolds
as we discover our identity.
Helping us along our way
is a little known secret at our core
residing in our heart hidden away
is a little brain we should not ignore.
For in here resides emotions remembered
all the good feelings giving so much joy
cossetted away never having to surrender
to the ego that the big brain uses to destroy.
Our heart-brain full of memories
Can be unlocked, flushed out readily.
In Appreciation of what we have so far achieved
being Non-judgemental by keeping in the flow
and Forgiveness of self and others deeds.
From this rich pathway our little brain will grow.
Then meanings straight from the heart
will have more power than rational thought
for within this gift we can begin to start
a more fulfilling dialogue and rapport
with our inner warring selves.
A chance for the heart to now support
new ways to identify with ourselves
new pathways to deeper understanding
that the magic of our heart-brain
will lead us into being more demanding
in the ways we behave to be humane.

The impossible happened
Or so it seemed
The day I conducted a session at a workshop
I met a lady before the session
Squeezed her in at the table I was on
Little to know she would play a role
In a matter that would later unfold
My session was on posture
Chin in – body aligned
Chest up -lungs free
Chillax – centred and still
To show how to feel open and sharp
Like a tiger with its prey
Lock and load
Eyes focussed, ready for the day
Each participant could feel
the centred state within
It was a button that I gave them
A reminder that brought a grin
The irony that day was
While I gave out the buttons
I lost a little white button on my shirt!
How could that be?Â
Such a funny sight to seeÂ
They all did agree
I thought it was gone for good
Until driving out of the carpark
That evening, the lady I had met earlier
Ran out, arms waving, smile so broad
What was it?
Well, we both couldn’t believeÂ
Guess who found my little white button?Â
It was she!
It was like magic
That something so small
Could be found in amongst it all
It felt like such a special day
The way it turned out
I must say…

When it rains
After weeks of dry
when something wonderful happens
without the need to try
The sound of water
trickling down a stream
In my imagination
and flying in a dream
When a baby is born
And it grips my finger
Walking through a garden
where flowers’ scents linger
Hearing children’s laughter
and excitement
Feeling free
from any confinement
Being with my children
And having fun
With all that they are
and hope to become
When bees buzz
collecting the pollen
When the shirts that I wear
are made of cotton
The feeling of joy
as people work together
Making a difference
to a world under pressure
Falling in love
and finding that it is mutual
Watching birds of paradise
in their mating ritual
Watching a butterfly
land on a flower
Sailboarding on the sea
feeling all of its power
Watching a sunrise
Over the horizon
Cleaning my apartment
effortlessly with my Dyson
Seeing the sun go down
from the beach
As it moves on,
another hemisphere to reach
Enjoying a movie
With all its emotion
Playing music,
not ’The locomotion’
Looking up at the stars
and the full moon
Bathing in water
until wrinkled like a prune
Reading a great book
Loving all of its components
Living life to the full and
present in all of the moments
Achieving something
With the joy it brings
These are a few of
My magical things
So will you take this opportunity too
To consider what magic is, for you?(NRS)
Strolling through a carnival
Feeling rather low,
Stopped a mo to watch a show
My goodness, a magician
Card behind the ear
Bouquet under the scarf
Abra cadabra, a rabbit!
It’s all a trick, magic
Feel a little better
A spring in the step
Moving on with my day
Could it be the magic
A long awaited time for me
Doctors rooms are near
Fearsome of the outcome
Dread to know my fate
As I walk from the room
Out into the cool crisp air
Elated with such relief
Good news I want to share
Briskly pass the carnival
Bouncing along, that spring in the step
No trick for me, true magic
It really does exist
