📝 the rest and manifest connection
if there is one thing that has challenged me the most when it comes to magick / manifestation, it's the idea of detachment.
my mind was full of anger towards my current circumstances. this person was wrong and that person was wrong. they never cleaned up after themselves. that shouldn't have happened to me and i was owed retribution. on and on and on.
so when i started to study magick, this idea of detachment felt impossible. i actually decided to ignore it at first. i thought, "that's a nice idea i am going to just force things anyway."
everything changed when i realized how hard i was working. seeing how much i was pushing and forcing, only to wind up unhappy anyway, really 🗣️pissed me off.
🔑 i got inspired to use that anger.
it was humbling at first, and i had to allow myself to be humbled.
i was at a point where i realized what i was doing was not working.
so i took on that child-like point of view. i said:
i can forgive myself and start again, it is easy.
i really, really wanted to change and the first thing i was guided to do, was the same thing i struggled with: detach.
i learned that this detachment wasn't so that i could be abused or victimized again (shout out to my therapist).
if i was to know myself as a goddess
if i was to really live and experience life as a child of the universe
detachment was about my relationship to the divine, and how much i could allow divinity to work through and for me.
if i wanted to live this magickal, beautiful life where everything i want comes to me instantly, then i actually had to allow the universe to bring to me. i actually had to live and be in that energy of 🔑the universe just brings me things.
my access point to living this way of life was to start to putting the Divine / Universe between myself and all of the things i was attached to. i treated the Universe like a friend i would call for every problem.
any time something came up in my experience that i did not like, i thought 🔑nope! universe is handling this for me. it became one of those things i started to practice but it was fun practice. 🔑everything in my life is handled by a higher power. i can just chill and play and watch it all unfold.
once i truly understood this idea, so many things started to fall into place, but one thing in particular was what it felt like to be in my unique expression of divine feminine; letting go being able to truly rest and receive.
