A Kind of Magick. Manifesting From Your Heart by Nils Klippstein - HTML preview

Concrete Examples and Practices

Do you feel scattered or anxious? Tap into the power of Earth. The result will be integration and stability.

Example: Stand with your bare feet on the floor. Place one hand on your stomach. Breathe through your heart centre. As you exhale, imagine roots growing from your feet deep into the earth, giving you a sense of solid stability. Repeat an Earth affirmation such as "I am rooted, stable and present." You can also hold a stone in your hand as a physical anchor.

Are you holding onto past hurts and lingering resentment and grief? Call upon Water. It supports you through cleansing, flowing and letting go.

Example: Stand in the shower or picture yourself standing under a waterfall. As the water flows over you, identify the emotion or memory that you want to release. Imagine it being washed away and carried off by the current. Say: "I allow this feeling to flow through me and away. I am cleansed and open to what is new."

Do you need to break a bad habit, overcome a stubborn pattern or stop procrastinating? Call upon Fire. It has a transformative and purifying effect.

Example: Light a candle. Write down the habit or pattern that you want to break on a small piece of paper. Gaze at the flame and feel its transformative power. When you are ready, use the flame to burn the paper in a bowl, saying: "I transform this energy. I am purified and renewed by the fire of my will."

Are you stuck in a cycle of overthinking, mental loops and confusion? Can't see clearly? Call upon Air. It dissolves and clarifies.

Example: Go outside or stand by an open window. Take several deep, conscious breaths through your heart centre. As you breathe in, imagine drawing in clarity. With each exhale, imagine blowing confused thoughts away like smoke and allowing the wind to carry them away. Ask yourself, "What is the clear truth here?" and listen for the answer carried on the breeze.

Ether/spirit is the space in which all this occurs. It is the element of transcendence and liberation from the cycle of form itself. Call upon Ether when you need to see the bigger picture, connect with the higher dimensions or let go of your attachment to a specific outcome. One practice is to simply sit in silence, breathe, and affirm: "I am one with the Infinite. I trust the divine plan."
