The greatest magic of all

Maebh lived in a small village surrounded by green forests and rolling hills. She was known to be kind and always had a smile on her face. She never had a bad Word to say about anybody and the locals treated her equally. However, she felt that something was missing in her life.

One sunny August morning, she decided to go on a journey to find the meaning of her existence and the magic of life. She packed her backpack and set out on a trail known to have been used for hundreds of generations before her. After many days of walking, she stumbled upon Stíofán who was working in one of the local markets. Very surprised and delighted to see her, he invited Maebh to lunch in a local bar known to be used by the traveling traders.

Stíofán asked Maebh what she was searching for and she told him that she wanted to find the greatest magic of all. The older man smiled and said, “The greatest magic of all is within you. It’s the power to create your own reality and live a life full of joy, love, and happiness.”

Maebh was totaly confused and asked her dear friend to explain further. Stíofán said, “You see, Maebh, our thoughts and beliefs shape our reality. If you believe that you can have a life full of joy and happiness, then that is what you will create. On the other hand, if you believe that life is hard and full of suffering, then that is what you will experience.”

          Maebh was fascinated by his words and asked him to show her how to find this magic within her. Stíofán said, “The first step is to quiet your mind and focus on your breath. When you do this, you will become aware of your thoughts and beliefs. Then, you can start to change the ones that do not serve you and replace them with positive ones.”

Maebh decided to stay a while in the village and follow Stíofán’s advice. Every morning she added the technique to her daily meditations. At first, it was difficult to quiet her mind, but with time, she became more and more skilled at it. She noticed that her thoughts and beliefs were starting to change. She became more positive and optimistic about life. She also noticed that she was attracting more joy, love, and happiness into her life.

One day, as she was meditating, she had a powerful experience. She felt as if a light had been turned on inside her and she was filled with love and happiness. She felt that she had discovered the greatest magic of all.

Maebh thanked Stíofán from the bottom of her heart for his guidance and set out on her journey back to her village. When she returned, everyone was amazed at the change in her. She was even more kind and joyful than before. She shared her story with everyone including the old stubborn fishermen and taught them how to quiet their minds and focus on their breath.

In no time, the entire village was filled with love and happiness. People started to create their own realities and live lives full of joy and contentment.

To rediscover this magic within you, I offer you this meditation:

Sit or lie comfortably in a dark room with a white candle burning. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Focus on your breath and feel the air entering and leaving your body. Let go of any thoughts or worries and simply focus on your breath.

Imagine a bright light inside you. See this light growing stronger and brighter with each breath. This light is the greatest magic of all.

Visualize yourself surrounded by love and happiness. See yourself creating your own reality, filled with joy and contentment.

Repeat this mantra to yourself: “I am the master of my thoughts and beliefs. I choose to believe that I can live a life full of joy and love.

Please try it and have a nice day
