HOW TO CAST A SPELL
MIRRORVERSE
Do you ever sit around on a random Tuesday and think: I know everything happens for a reason but WTF!? And then find yourself in an endless spiral.I mean, fair. Things get wild sometimes and we all process things however we need to. But have you paused to consider the weight of the words you speak in any given moment and especially during the hard ones? Oh and not just out loud, the words that go unsaid and live quietly on repeat in your head?
Here's the thing… ARE YOU READY? .. the entire serene Universe surrounds you and holds you quietly, patiently anticipating your energetic output ~ aka your vibe. It delights in your self-discovery and acts like a mirror to reflect you back to yourself. If you think of the Universe like a giant ear with a hand cupped around it, listening for who you are, what would you say? How would you speak?
SPEAKING THINGS INTO EXISTENCE
Beyond mirroring, the Universe amplifies and projects, until you really see, until you truly understand. This is why if we mean to live joyfully and purposefully, it's essential to acknowledge both the power of language generally and self-talk specifically. Our words go beyond being vehicles for communication. They are vehicles for creation.
Does this mean “good vibes only, man” and that we should speak from our highest perspective at all times? Nope, we're human and so beautifully flawed by design. Perfection is never the goal. All we can hope to do is keep a living inquiry - if the words I speak become the house I live in - what is my foundation? Do my windows need cleaning? Is there rot in the walls or am I creating something sturdy and with love?
MANTRA
"In the beginning there was the word"
-the old testament
The basis of the concept of mantra is sound energy. The entire universe is vibrating and sound energy is the primordial manifestation of vibration. The fact that this subtle energy has always existed is recognized by all ancient cultures by various names. It's known as shabda (verbal testimony) in Sanskrit, Abracadabra (I will create as I speak) in Aramaic, and simply the 'word' in the Bible.
In the Vedic system, mantras are fundamental vibrations that resonate with universal energies within us. They have an energetic imprint and frequency that taps into our spiritual DNA by weaving together rhythm, sound, focus and meaning. In short, they set intentions for creation.
Mantras are an intentional way to connect with the resonance of a future vision or state of being, they cause expansion and greater awareness. But even when we're saying whatever and not really thinking about it, we're planting seeds and setting things into motion. And again, those unsaid things on repeat in our minds, they become like silent mantras. Then we wonder why things don't change or bring us outcomes we were privately dreading -when all along we were holding the unwanted outcome in our minds like a prayer.
Okay here's an example…
Negative thought:
I believed it so deeply it became real.
Positive thought:
I believed it so deeply it became real.
Your choice.
THE FIFTH CENTER & SATSANG
“Change rooms in your mind for a day”- hafiz
When it comes to casting spells with your word (using our words wisely & purposefully) we hear about the 5th chakra a lot. It's known as the throat chakra because it's commonly associated with finding our voice. The root of this comes from the fact that this chakra is the center of sound
and is associated with the power of the word. Developing our fifth chakra empowers words to cause physical manifestation.
Overwhelmed? Like, waohhhh who knew it all meant so much? This is the part where we relax our shoulders and remember that being intentional with our words isn't a test we pass or fail. We have to let go of that kind of small potatoes thinking. This is a big, ongoing, playful conversation with the divine. A divine discourse, a satsang, with all of the universe. WE can always, always shift the energy and change the subject whenever we please.
