Bringing magic into your life does not need to be dependent on complex rituals and spells and learning everything there is to know about everything related to spirituality. It actually gets to be simple. Mundane Magic is one of the best beginner practices to wake up your awareness and to start cultivating a relationship with your intuition and the guidance all around you.
What is Mundane Magic?
Mundane Magic is the little moments in our day where we notice how things are falling in place for us. It could be the way the light comes through our window, or feeling like you smell your passed grandma’s perfume that reminds you of her, or the feeling you get when you sit down at the table with your family to eat dinner and you realize everyone there is alive and healthy. Mundane Magic is always there for you and can often be the trigger to get you to feel into gratitude which turns into motivation which turns into change and boosts you onto a new path that you could’ve never dreamed about for yourself.
Moments of Magic:
You don’t need to do anything to tap into Mundane Magic except to open yourself up to being aware during pieces of you day. When you feel that morning light on you, instead of noticing briefly it’s happening and then going on with your day, instead soak it in. How can you feel grateful for how beautiful the light is that’s coming in through your window? And while you’re feeling gratitude for the sun, you can feel gratitude that you have windows in your house that keep you warm…and the chain keeps going. But it all started from a typical morning and because you were aware of the light coming through.
I’ve found the more we notice the environment around us and things to be grateful for, the more it connects us to the feeling of gratitude which only feeds us noticing MORE and MORE moments of magic in our normal daily lives.
