Everyday stuff of life

I know what you’re thinking, but hear me out...

Last week I broke down the three buckets of consciousness. I highlighted that some unconscious and conscious people have magical experiences. So what the hell am I talking about? Again, it's a spectrum, ranging from the mundane to the extraordinary. The most mundane example is the email or phone call. Most of us have had the experience of thinking of someone you haven't been in touch with in a while. Then within a few days of thinking of them they reach out. You get tickled by the experience and usually chalk it up to a “coincidence”.

An extreme example would be the experience I had meeting my mentor Marge. I had been a runner, and ran past her home for a solid year or more. After being mugged I began to look for a new place to live. In those pre-internet days that meant surfing our local free weekly newspaper. I clipped an ad that seemed to match what I was looking for, and called to make an appointment to see it. Imagine my shock and awe walking up to the same house that I had been running past (and quite drawn to).

Some clients and folks who know my story wave me off as "special" or "gifted". It's taken me a long time to accept that that may be somewhat true. And what I always say to them, the folks with the mundane ability to know when a friend will call, is: Practice This. The only thing I'm really gifted at is taking my self seriously and paying attention. And that's something you can do to.

So, the journey to expanding consciousness - the journey into magic and miracles - begins with the choice to honor yourself and pay attention. Life can only get more enchanting from there.
