To read the full description & information on ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "The (inner) Fairy Godmother is an enchantress, a holy sacred mother of the ancient mysteries. She ushers in what we think we do not know or cannot have or dare not express. She offers us gifts of the spirit: the gifts of inner guidance and universal love." (from Inner Child Cards: A Journey Into Fairy Tales, Myth, & Nature, by Isha and Mark Lerner) Connecting with the fairy godmother archetype reawakens the magic within us and makes our dreams come true. She reminds us that we are magical beings living in a magical universe. Metaphysically, she is the personification of the unconditional love of our soul self, our spirit, our higher self. She is a mentor, partner, and guide to our intuition and inner wisdom. She is one of the ways in which the Goddess has stayed alive in our hearts - a magical female who can do all things magnificent, as long as we do our part as well. The godmother's roots extend into the ancient religions and may be as old as Goddess worship itself. She is the composite of many feminine archetypes and magical beings."Believing in magic is essential for creating a life of our own choosing. It helps us to remember that we live in an unlimited universe where anything is possible. It also makes life fun, and more interesting." Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway The way to connect with her is through connecting with our inner fairy godmother. I know many of us have connected with our wounded inner child, but have you taken the time to get to know your enchanted inner child? This is the perfect time of year to do that and to take it to a deeper level if you have done some playful work in that area before. Our enchanted inner child is the open, exploratory, creative, excited one who reveals to us our inner splendor. The two archetypes together will guide us in creating an enchanted life, but most of us are too busy to take the time to get to know them. Carving out time to re-acquaint yourself with both of them during the beginning of this winter season is the greatest gift you could possibly give yourself. The winter solstice marks the shortest day of the year and the beginning of the return of the light. I invite you to mark the solstice as the beginning of the return of magic into your life. Imagine taking the hand of your enchanted child and your fairy godmother. You are the magical bridge; the connector that completes the enchanted circle of three. You are an awakening human who is a living conduit between heaven and earth. What you are awakening are your abilities to connect with universal forces and higher powers to manifest on the physical plane. You are the one who makes the co-creative dance with the universe possible through your attention to these enchanted aspects of your very being!! It is all up to you whether you choose to let them lie dormant or awaken them during your midlife passage. Your enchanted child is the dreamer skilled in the art of dreaming things up, Imagineering, seeing the possibilities. Your fairy godmother is your personal personification of unconditional love the way that a loving grandmother is with her grandchildren. It's as if we each have an inner Santa Claus within us. Your creating a conscious relationship with both of them is the journey of the conscious midlife passage. Both are needed in making your dreams come true. Our inner fairy godmother empowers us to remember who we really are....magical beings in our enchanted land - the earth. To know that we are loved and cared for by the cosmic forces lifts us up into the magic of life. The universal law of attraction (i.e., what you focus on expands) then brings forth serendipity and synchronicity in our lives. It simply brings more love, care, enchantment, empowerment, prosperity, freedom, inner peace, ecstasy, and passion into our lives after we "get the ball rolling" so to speak. We have to do our part first. This is high play! How do you get the ball rolling in creating your enchanted life?
~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~ An enchanted life is created and begins from within us. We reawaken our enchantment through knowing what the heart and authentic soul of our desires is. By the time women hit midlife, many of us have focused so much of our energy on doing for others that we lost touch with what is meaningful, important, special, magnificent, intimate, and magical to us and most important, WHY it is so. Getting connected to our enchanted child guides us to the heart and soul of our desires. When we have that piece of knowledge, that spark, we have the enchanted core of our desires - our "ball." The universal law of attraction then can begin to work and will attract more of that into you life. STEP 1) What activities did you really enjoy in childhood? Just let your mind recall times when you felt enchanted. When you forgot what time it was. When you were creating something, involved, juiced, excited. Make a list of as many as you can remember. They can be very, very simple snippets in time like the example of swinging. STEP 2) Go there in your imagination and re-experience the enchantment that swinging had for you. STEP 3) Ask yourself; What feeling did it give me when I was swinging? What about it tickled you? We want to get to the "feeling place" underneath the activity. That's where the magic is. * Using the example of swinging, it may have given you a feeling of incredible freedom. STEP 4) Let's just say it was the feeling of freedom. What does freedom mean to you? What qualities does freedom have for you? Where do you experience this feeling in your body? Breathe into it and ask it for more information. Let your authentic feeling of freedom speak to you and give you more information. * The feeling of freedom that swinging gave you may have associations of being unrestricted and unobstructed. STEP 5) What else conjures up that feeling within you? What do you associate with that feeling of freedom? Is there any place in your adult life that you get that feeling? What are you doing? What is giving you that feeling? Where in your adult life do you want and need more of that? What is the next logical step for someone in your position now that you have discovered more about your authentic soul's voice? * You may be a person who needs to feel in charge of your own time, money, projects, decisions, and energy at work so you may need to be your own boss. Working by someone else's time clock and directives may make you feel that constricted feeling and you may not even know where it is coming from. Unfortunately many of us think there is something wrong with us and try to "deal" with our discomfort. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
