Steps to Magic

By: Adrian Calabrese, Ph.D

Do you believe in magic? I do, and I’ll tell you why. I painfully remember a time when I was searching to fill an inexplicable void in my life. Try as I did, I just couldn’t figure out what was missing, and why, no matter how successful I was, that nagging feeling of emptiness pervaded my every waking moment.

Churches, religions, and self-help groups didn’t work for me. In my arduous search, I was divinely led to my goal—a life of joy, peace, and abundance. Like magic, I found and developed the tools to achieve my wildest dreams and set out to create a truly magical life as I made direct contact with the divinity within me. Within days, I saw tangible results from applying these tools to my most difficult life challenges. I am living proof that magic does happen.

You Can Do It, Too
In my book, 10 Spiritual Steps to a Magical Life, I share this magic with you! You will learn an easy 10-step method for creating a truly incredible life. You’ll discover how to take a logical and simple route to your life goals, combine the practical with the spiritual for powerful results, use your intuition to tap into your extraordinary divine power, and ask for the loving support of divine energies for help.

This is a simple approach to living that exceeds any religious dogma, and offers unlimited opportunity for spiritual growth. You will learn to use the intuitive power that is within you to create a spiritual life-path that combines sound spiritual principles with a successful plan of action. Turn a humdrum existence into an exciting life adventure!

Most of us believe that magic is just an illusion, not something to believe in. We attempt to rationalize our lives because our Western way of thinking tells us that if we can’t see it, taste it, smell it, touch it, or hear it, then it (that illusive entity) must not exist. The term magic conjures up the illusion of an unreal fantasy world. This illusion is usually left to languish in a dormant part of our psyche. Our minds drift to this place in our consciousness from time to time, when life gets too tough to bear, and stress is uncontrollable. We retreat to this place for respite, but never really expect to live our fantasies. That, of course, is for other people—the special, gifted, lucky few. It is time to dispel this myth and accept the fact that what we dream about in our most private moments can actually be our reality.

Connecting to the Higher
For years, as a starving theater actress and director, I worried about how I would survive. Money and jobs were scarce, and my debts were overwhelming. I just couldn’t seem to do anything right. Lasting success eluded me. Then, one fateful day, I was disgusted and depressed enough to decide to make changes. The first of my magical steps was about to take form. After a night of crying my eyes out, I calmed down, took a few deep breaths, and told the universe that I had had enough. I thought I was just talking to myself, but in reality, I was changing my life. I was actually in prayer. In that moment, I was connecting to a power greater than myself. I was transforming my thoughts, and therefore, my reality. Then, in an instant, I realized that if other people, people I knew personally, could create wealth, joy, loving relationships, and happiness, so could I. Magically, a feeling of peace came over me, and I intuitively knew that I was okay and on my way to a wonderful life. Not one to let any grass grow under my feet, I set out to feel this strength every day, and perceive the world and my situation, in a more positive light. It had begun. From now on, it would all be different.

Accept Your Power
If you, too, can take that first of my 10 steps, and accept your power, you will be sending a life-changing message to the universe that you are ready for your highest good to come to you. Tell yourself that you truly believe that you have the power within you to change your life, and you will! Meditate on this thought, allow the magical power of your soul to speak with you, and affirm the following with enthusiasm, and repeat it until you believe it: “I am open, ready, and willing to accept the extraordinary power that lies within me. Today, I take the first step on my spiritual path and accept my greatness. I replace all my old negative beliefs about myself with one positive thought—I am a limitless being with the power to create a magical life! And so it is!”
