First before we dive into Magic & Miracles, let us honor Samhain the ancient threshold between worlds, when the veil is said to grow thin and the voices of the ancestors draw closer. It is a time to sit with the fire, listen to the land, and remember those who walked before us, the known and unknown ones whose stories still move through our bones. As we enter the darkness, we honor death not as an ending, but as a sacred passage: releasing what has completed its cycle and opening ourselves to the wisdom carried through the unseen realms. In the stillness between worlds, we listen for our ancestors, for the Earth, and for the ancient knowing within us that remembers!
“If you think you can, or you think you can’t—you’re right.”
I would take that one step further.
If you believe something is possible, you’re right. If you believe it’s impossible, you may be right about that too, because either way, you begin to organize your thoughts, choices and energy around what you believe to be true. And this is where I believe miracles come into play.
Our minds are incredibly powerful. Our thoughts, words, emotions and intentions influence how we experience our reality and what we allow ourselves to imagine might be possible. Remember as a child we usually had a wild imagination, but as adults we tend to be a bit more pragmatic and forget about our whimsical child self!
Last year at our Mallorca Mystical Retreat, I taught an experiential practice that came to me before the retreat. It involved working with what I call the invisible field: becoming aware of the energy and possibilities around us and intentionally connecting with what we would like to invite into physical form.
One of the phrases we worked with was:
“I’m welcoming in _____________ to see me, choose me and love me.”
One person chose money.
Within approximately 40 minutes to an hour, more than $2,000 unexpectedly appeared in their bank account.
Random? Perhaps. Synchronicity? Perhaps. But within the framework I was teaching, we didn’t immediately judge or dissect what happened. That was actually part of the exercise. Non-judgment. No forcing. No expectation. Set the intention, connect with it, and then allow it to go. This is where things become interesting. From Possibility Into Form
In my own teachings, I use the language of WaveForm Function and WaveForm Collapse as a way of describing this process.
WaveForm Function represents the vibratory state or some refer to as the Zero Point Energy State —the realm of possibility before something has taken physical form. We then enter what I call the neutral void, a state where we temporarily step away from judgment, attachment and the need to know how something will happen.
WaveForm Collapse is the movement from possibility toward form. I’m borrowing language from quantum physics here as a metaphorical framework for consciousness and manifestation. I’m not suggesting that our thoughts are literally performing quantum-mechanical wave-function collapse, but personally I feel they do!
For me, the interesting question is:
What happens when we intentionally enter that space of possibility without immediately limiting it? That is where the fun begins. We get to imagine, explore, create and then release. We do versions of this every day without realizing it. But because we are so accustomed to experiencing life through physical reality, what we can see, touch and measure, we often forget how much of our inner world exists before anything becomes visible. When we begin thinking multidimensionally, we become curious about what might exist beyond what we can immediately perceive.
“We live in a world that worships limitations.” — Tama Kieves
And yet, everything around us involves energy. What happens when we consciously interact with our own energy through intention, thought, emotion and imagination? I love experimenting with that question. Faith, Without Forcing
There’s another distinction that has become important to me: belief versus faith. Beliefs can change. They’re influenced by our experiences, conditioning and circumstances. Faith is different. For me, faith is the willingness to trust something before I have physical evidence of it. And that’s often where manifestation becomes difficult. We send out an intention: I would love this. And five minutes later the linear mind jumps in: But how could that possibly happen? Where is it? Maybe I did it wrong. Maybe it isn’t going to happen. Suddenly we are no longer playing with possibility, we’re trying to control the outcome. I’ve found that some of the most interesting synchronicities happen when I have a clear intention and then stop thinking about it. Have you ever really wanted something, forgotten about it, and then suddenly it appeared? That letting go/releasing may be one of the most important parts of playing with energy.
Make It a Game
I love playing with energy because I explore altered, intuitive and what I experience as multidimensional states regularly. Years ago, I used to talk about these experiences much more openly and sometimes found that people simply weren’t interested, or didn’t believe me. And eventually I realized: They don’t have to. I do. I don’t need someone else to believe in an experience in order for me to explore it or the validation from them. That realization brought the playfulness back. So rather than asking you to believe anything, I’m saying, I’d rather invite you to experiment for yourself.
Start with something completely inconsequential. Choose a number. 111, 11:11, 222, 333, 444 etc. Set the intention that you’re going to notice your number, and then go on with your daily life.
- Don’t hunt for it.
- Don’t stare at the clock waiting for 11:11.
- Don’t try to make it happen.
- Simply become curious and notice what enters your awareness.
Then try something a little more unusual.
A Red Balloon or even better, a PINK CAR
Or choose something of your own. I like pink cars because there simply aren’t that many of them around. Sometimes before I leave for my morning walk, I’ll choose something to play with and then see what appears.
You can even try: “I’m welcoming in a free cup of coffee.” Years ago, I experimented with that one. I went outside, walked around the corner in the freezing cold, and there were parents giving away free coffee and donuts. Was it coincidence? Was it synchronicity? Was it intention interacting with something larger? You get to decide. For me, the point isn’t proving exactly why it happened. The point is becoming curious enough to notice that it did.
Play with ENERGY
We are far more interesting beings than we sometimes allow ourselves to imagine. And perhaps we don’t have to understand everything before we explore it. Set an intention, let go of judgment release the need to control how it arrives, pay attention and see what appears and what repeats. See what makes you laugh because the timing is so perfect. And most importantly—have fun with it.
Because when we stop trying so hard to manifest and begin playing with possibility, something changes within us.
So play along with me. Play with ENERGY. See what you notice. See what you create. See what unexpectedly finds its way into your awareness.
And next year at our retreat, we’ll be taking this exploration even deeper as we work with our energetic systems, intuitive and psychic abilities, the subtle realms, our dreamscape, Tarot, and the ways we can become more conscious participants in our relationship with the unseen.
