When Life is Hard You Can Make It Magical
A 15-second ritual for when you want to scream
What if I told you there is something you could do that is free, takes about 15 seconds, and can help you deal with challenging situations and people? Bonus: it’s got the potential to create some wild everyday magic.
I’m not a fan of over-hyping things, but seriously, this could change your life.
I shot a video a few years ago telling the story of how this 15-second ritual came to be. I’m bringing the video back today because it is perfect for us—with our busy lives, we need simple. The only thing it requires is being consistent and staying open-minded.
I remember feeling so stuck until I stumbled onto this idea of “conspiring with the universe.” At first, I thought there was no way it could work on a regular basis, but I’ve since made “everyday magic” my new norm.
Since making the video, I’ve used this for so many things. Case in point: my old commercial agent decided it would be a good idea to start embezzling the residual money he was collecting for his clients.
I was out thousands of dollars. Instead of spiraling, I tapped into my intuition to figure out the best way to ask for the money I was owed. Once the request was out there, I sat back and said a version of the prayer I share in the video over, and over, and over again. Out of the blue, the agent called me up and told me he had a cashier’s check waiting for me.
Here’s the mantra I used:
Let me release my karma with my agent by forgiving him and myself.
Free me from any anger and resentment.
You alone are my source for support and abundance.
All my finances are fully wrapped in divine order.
Do you know I was one of very few who actually got their money!
It’s hard to trust things we can’t fully explain, but I’ve found life is so much more magical when you let the “unexplained” play a part.
Watch the video to see how this works. (feel free to watch at double-speed if you’re short on time).
If you decide to try it, share the prayer you create in the comments so we can all say it for you and tap into the power of the collective.
P.S. This practice was inspired by the incredible work of Tosha Silver. If you want to dive deeper into this way of “conspiring with the universe,” I highly recommend her books Outrageous Openness: Letting the Divine Take the Lead and Change Me Prayers. They are the perfect foundation for anyone looking to bring more of this magic into their daily life.
