How many times have you found yourself in certain situations that have awakened an emotional response and left you feeling warm, happy or perhaps sad? Think back to birthdays, anniversaries or relationship breakups. All these events, whether for the positive or negative, have indeed raised some form of emotional response within you.
What if you could do the opposite and have your emotions create the various circumstances or situations that you want to happen? As far fetched as this simple concept may be, once you understand it you can work miracles in your life. Our emotions, are shaping our lives, whether we are conscious of it or not.
I call this concept, Magick!
To illustrate this; how often have you thought of something, and found out later that what you had thought about, happened the way you expected it to? Or you were expecting the worst of something, or in someone, you felt really bad about it but you had guessed it, what you expected to happen, happened.
What made it happen?
Why your emotions of course!
All too often we don’t realize, or we are not aware of, the power that our emotions have in shaping our own lives. Think of it like fuel for the Vehicle of the Universe to get you from A to B. B being the thoughts or desires you may have in mind. When you start to accept that your emotions move the universe, you can start to have fun with your own life.
I once had a situation at work where I felt one of the bosses was an egotistical, power tripping, moron. He treated everyone unfairly, including his own business partner. I felt bad every time he berated me, or someone else, for not doing the job his way, even though it would have amounted to more work in the end, or insults directed to us from customers. For years I felt powerless to this because, one, he was my boss, secondly I needed the money, and felt that I wouldn’t be able to find a new job straight away.
All efforts to talk some sense in him and to show our loyal support to the business was to no avail. One day I got fed up with it all and decided to use Magick, I changed the way I was thinking and in doing that I changed the way I was feeling about the situation. I no longer felt bad, and instead repeated a spell in my head that …“all is calm at work and it is pleasant to be here.” I knew that how I was feeling would eventually mold my future. I kept at it and at it.
A few months later, the same boss who would get angry easily, was relating better towards us, and to top it all off, the other business partner grew enough courage to kick him out of the company.
An emotional energy this strong had the power to change the very circumstance which I found myself living in. As long as I didn’t allow myself to wallow in the negative for too long, I had the power to change things the way I wanted.
You too have the same power. Keep generating those happy emotions, the power is within you. Use it wisely!
