Steven Aitchison – The Magic

For a while now I have been wanting to write a blog article on the subject of the Law of Attraction, but I am not comfortable with the term Law of Attraction, and don’t really believe in the whole concept with the way it is being taught and so wanted talk about it in another way with more detail, but couldn’t think of a name for it. Then, a few weeks ago when I was out walking my dog I figured it out: MAGIC

Magic is not quite the law of attraction, it’s not cosmic ordering, it’s not about praying or religious in any way and not about Wicca, although you may call it that. It’s simply about Magic: The kind of magic we all have inside of us, but we’ve forgotten how to use it. We had the magic as children, and then life got in the way and most of us lose it as we go into adolescence.

This article is probably one of my longest but I hope one of the most useful articles I have ever written.

I also have to say that whilst doing research on this I came across 3 books by Genevieve Davis called: Becoming Magic, Doing Magic, and Advanced Magic. When I found these books I promptly downloaded them and then thought about not publishing this article, as the ideas in Genevieve’s books were so close to the thoughts I had on this topic, it was like listening to (I bought the audio books) my own thoughts and writings on the subject.

However I have decided to publish it anyway, mainly because I didn’t want to waste 4 weeks of research and writing and I believe I can help open up the topic of magic to another audience and hopefully help Genevieve reach a new audience as well.

I also notice there is another book by Rhonda Byrne called ‘The Magic’, but since this is not a book, I don’t mind that so much.

What is The Magic

When we think of magic we think of the likes of Harry Potter, or witchcraft or possibly the druids. However, magic is not about making potions, casting spells, and using wands, all those things are just tools to focus the mind on the magic.

The MAGIC is you!

You are the magic, you have the power of magic inside of you right now, lying dormant, possibly unused ever in your life, or for some unused for a number of years. You are the vessel that holds the magic and your mind is the tool to help unleash it.

It is the power we have to bring about change in our lives by using the power of the subconscious mind. Now, before you stop reading and say, “˜Oh, I’ve heard it all before.’ hear me out, as I guarantee you this will be life changing for a lot of you reading this.

Magic is the powerful force that helps us gather the people and the objects we need and sometimes want in our lives. The mind is the key that unlocks it and in this article I want to show you how to unlock the magic.

How I came to learn of The Magic

Being honest I always knew there was something different about me, even as a young child and I believed, even back then, in the power of magic, only I didn’t know how to harness it.

It wasn’t until I was older that I really started learning about it and using it in my every day life, and learning a hell of a lot along the way. And Today I use it every day, I am literally magic, just like you, only i have learned a little more about it and can bring about change without really thinking about it.

How to Change Your Beliefs – The Beliefs Formula

I have come up with a belief formula, it’s not necessarily new or anything groundbreaking but it’s a formula you can use and easily store in your mind to help you.

          Perception + Evidence + Repetition + Time = Belief

So let’s break each part of the formula down:

Perception – This is the current perception you have about yourself at any particular time. For example you might believe that you are not an intelligent person. That’s the perception you have of yourself at this particular time.

Evidence – The evidence you have gathered over the years to prove that perception might be: you failed your exams in the past, you feel stupid around other people, other people may have said that you weren’t particularly intelligent and so on. Your subconscious mind has gathered all this evidence to prove your perception.

Repetition – Over the months and years you’ve repeatedly reminded yourself of why you are not intelligent so your mind just assumes that you’re not intelligent and the deeper the belief will be entrenched.

Time – This is about the length of time you’ve held this belief. The longer you’ve held a belief the more you will believe it. So if you’ve told yourself for years that you’re not intelligent then guess what, you’re not that intelligent, or so you think!

That’s how a belief is formed. Similarly you have empowering beliefs that have been formed using the exact same formula. So if you believe you are intelligent and you have gathered evidence over the years to prove that and you’ve repeated that belief over the years, then you are intelligent, no question, you just are.

Question Your Beliefs

Once you’ve found out what your disempowering beliefs are by writing down the outcomes and disempowering beliefs in Big Idea number 5, you then start to question each belief.

Your beliefs are like an egg, hard on the outside but liquid on the inside, unless it’s hard boiled which is a deeper held belief. Once you start to crack the shell of the egg you can start to change it.

The way to start cracking the egg, or your beliefs, is to question them.

For example if you believe that you are not intelligent, you would question that belief. You would ask yourself ‘is that really true’ and then you would find examples to prove that you are intelligent: you passed that exam at school, you work in a position of authority and need intelligence to be organized and do your job well, you read lots of mentally stimulating books (by the way that’s the very best way of increasing your overall brain power, not just intelligence), and so on.

So you’ve cracked open the shell of that belief it’s now time to replace it with another new, empowering belief.

Installing a New Belief

This is a lot easier than you would imagine.

Once you’ve identified a new belief you would like to install, you essentially immerse yourself in the new belief until your subconscious accepts it as true and integrates it into your mental operating system. I love to use visualization with physical proof, but a lot of people use affirmations combined with strong emotion.

Using evidence from your past you can install the new belief by reminding yourself on a daily basis the evidence you have to prove your new belief. You then go on to gather more evidence by going out and putting your new belief into practice, which means more evidence to prove your belief.

For example you want to have the belief that you can lose weight easily:

You would remind yourself a few years ago just how much weight you lost, which proves you can lose it, you then remind yourself you actually enjoyed going to the gym back then, you enjoyed being healthier, and you remind yourself about the great comments you received from other people telling you how great you looked and that you seemed to lose weight quite easily.

So you start going to the gym again and begin to enjoy it, you feel more healthy by going to the gym, so your mind tells you to eat more healthy, friends start to comment again about how great you look which motivates you more, you start to see the weight dropping off, your old clothes fit you again, pretty soon your mind tells you it is easy to lose weight and you have installed a new belief.

Remember the belief formula:

          Perception + Evidence + Repetition + Time = Belief

But, what if you don’t have evidence from your past?

then you have to start gathering evidence from now on.  Every little thing that happens, no matter how small, take it as evidence that you new belief is taking shape.  This way you will amass evidence that will help you install the new belief that you want.  It might take a little time, but eventually the new belief will just be a part of who you are.

The Magic of Believing

The beliefs you hold about yourself are the source of magic, and not many people know how to control. You now have that power in your own hands, you’re the Harry Potter of your world, but there’s no need for a wand to channel your magical powers, it’s all held in your mind and your bodies energy.

To show you just how powerful beliefs are I want to share a story from a respected Physician named Bernie Siegel, who has written a lot of books. In Tony Robbins’ book he has a conversation with Bernie Siegel:

“I had the pleasure of interviewing Yale professor and best-selling author Bernie Siegel. .. Bernie shared with me some of the research he’d done on people with Multiple Personality Disorders. Incredibly, the potency of these people’s beliefs that they had become a different person resulted in an unquestioned command to their nervous system to make measurable changes in their biochemistry. The result? Their bodies would literally transform before the researchers’ eyes and begin to reflect a new identity at a moment’s notice. Studies document such remarkable occurrences as patients’ eye color changing or physical marks disappearing and reappearing! Even diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure come and go depending on the person’s belief as to which personality they’re manifesting.”

We’ve also all heard about the placebo effect, whereby a patient is given a drug for an illness. The patient does not know that the drug is actually a sugar pill, but still shows signs of recovery, because they believe that they have been given a real drug and that it’s going to help them.

There’s hundreds of documented cases about the power of the placebo, and that’s the magic of your mind and the power of belief.

That’s the power of belief and I want you to use those lessons on beliefs when you start your journey on the magical path, because you’re going to need it.

Believing in Magic

For magic to work you’ve got to believe in it.  Well, that’s not very scientific is it?  

Think about it, we don’t do anything in life unless we believe we can do it and magic is no different.

We’ve got to believe with all our hearts that it will truly work for us.  I know about magic, it works for me and I know that anybody can practice magic, but this is not about me, this is about you, you’re the one who is going to practice it, you’re the one who is going to walk the magical path for, possibly, the first time.

So let’s get started with.

Now that you know about beliefs we need to start putting the magic into practice using the belief principles.

The first step on the magical path is asking for what you want.

Don’t tell anyone about the magic

It’s not like fight club: The first rule of fight club is to not talk about fight club :), we keep the magic to ourselves until we firmly believe in it; an unshakeable belief.  I feel totally comfortable accepting whatever anyone has to say about my belief in Magic, whether they ridicule me, think I’m nuts or just think I have lost the plot, my belief is so strong nobody has the power to change it.

So another part of receiving is to keep it to yourself, until you’ve been a competent practitioner and firmly believe in it.  If you were to tell other people they will either laugh at you, ridicule you, or tell you that you’re nuts for believing in magic.

Once you have been practicing this for a number of months/years, then you can start to share your secrets with those closest to you.  When you have a deep held belief about the magic, it won’t matter what anybody else says.  It’s like me trying to tell a christian that god does not exist, it won’t matter as their belief is absolute, and they won’t give two figs about what I say.  That’s the stage you want to get with the magic, and that may take a while.

For now, just record every piece of evidence that it is working for you.

Develop a positive mindset

Positive people have much more energy about them and therefore more magical energy surrounding them, so it’s important to develop a positive state of mind.  You can do this in a number of ways which I have written about lots of times in this blog, but to give you some major ways in developing a positive state of mind here are a few ways to do it:

Stop reading/watching and listening to the news –   One of the worst things to do is to read, watch or listen to the main news.  Not the sports news or the financial news, but the main news.  It’s overly bias towards negative news and it’s pure mind rot.

Stop gossiping –  When you gossip about someone else you are putting them down in some way and bring your own energy down with it.  Stop engaging in these  behaviors.

Start reading and watching positive books/blogs and watching inspirational videos   One of the best ways to open your mind to positivity is to read inspirational books, and watch inspirational videos.

Stop watching soap operas – You might not believe it but you get just as emotionally involved in a soap opera as you do with the dramas in your own life.  Again they are negative in nature, as they are overly bias  toward drama and bad things happening.

Set aside time to spend alone –  There is nothing better than getting a bit of peace and quiet and going out for a walk in nature, or curling up with a good book and raises your spiritual energy, connecting you to the magic.

Stop catastrophising e.g. it always rains when I want to go out, my boss is always in a bad mood, everybody hates me…

Let stuff go and stop being angry – In the past whenever someone cut me up on the road i used to get so infuriated and chase after them and do the same to them.  It was such a waste of energy and emotion. Now, if someone cuts me up, I care not a jot, I let them go, and don’t give it a second thought.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not asking you to be soft, if someone smacked me in the mouth I would definitely stick the head on them and fight back, and then let it go

These are just a few ways to start developing a positive mindset and over time you will see the massive difference these things will make in your life.

Why doesn’t it work?

Over the years I have discovered a few reasons as to why magic does not work:

1. Back to the old habits of negative thinking and worrying.  

When we start to allow our lives to become mainly negative, and worrying all the time, the magic will stop working for you.  When you are in this state you are not in flow with the magic, as it requires a certain energy to stay in touch with it, and negative thinking will definitely repel the magic.

2. Asking all the time for the same desires.  

Do you remember when you were a child and you kept on asking your parents for something.  You harped on and on about it until you eventually got a clip around the ear.  That’s how it is with the magic, it will repel the very thing that you desire if you keep asking for it or keep wondering where it is.  This is akin to being in a state of lack, meaning that your mind constantly thinks ‘I don’t have this’.  Stop asking and trust the magic.

3. Lack of belief

This is the big one that stops the magic from flowing.  When you don’t believe in it, you close of the part of your subconscious mind that makes it work, essentially you are cutting the cord between the magic and yourself.  If you find yourself in this state, simply start looking for small pieces of evidence that it is working and bring yourself back to a state of believing.
