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.
Some examples from my own life:
Since the age of about 25 I had started to look for my ideal partner, as I was tired of "˜Playing the field' and the single life. I looked, had a few girlfriends, but nobody came along that made me say "˜She's the one'. Well, I looked for around 7 years and one day on the 19th July 2002 I let go. I let the thought go of finding my ideal partner and told myself it's okay to be single and happy and I mentally let go as I walked along the street to work that morning.
Then on the way back from work at around 5pm I was persuaded to go out for a drink as Cathy, from another department (Thank you Cathy) was celebrating her 40th birthday, and even though I didn't know Cathy that well, and didn't want to go out, I went out for a drink and ended up staying longer than "˜Just the one'.
At 7.30pm someone walks into the bar to join our crowd and my jaw literally dropped and i blurted out "˜Who the fuck is that' in a mesmerised state (sorry for swearing, but that's what I said). It turned out it was the sister of someone who worked with me.
13 years later we're still madly in love and have two sons and a mental little dog.
That's just one example of Magic, and one of the principles at work: Letting Go of the Outcome, which we will talk about later.

In 2012 I truly wanted to give up my full-time job as an addiction worker and work full time online, but just didn't see how it was going to be possible due to financial reasons. I worked out I would need around $3,000 per month to give up my full-time job. So again, I quickly seen in my imagination myself working from home and let the thought go and entrusted the magic to do it's job.
A few months later I was chatting with a friend on Skype, who already ran some very successful websites, and told him my ideas about doing guided meditations and had already tested the market. He suggested we collaborate. After a few months of talking we agreed to start a new site and his company would pay me advanced royalties for every guided meditation I wrote and recorded until we got the site to go live a year later, the amount was around $3,000 per month, that's when GuidedMind.com was born.
The magic had worked again. I gave up my full-time job in September 2012 and worked full time online, and have never looked back since.
Another example
Another example is a more recent one.
Last year I truly started getting into Facebook and growing my page, so much so that I was getting about 20 FB Messages per day asking how the hell I was doing so well with my Facebook page. I had grown it from 33,000 likes to 3.2 Million at the time. I answered all the questions in the messages about FB Marketing and then decided to write a course on it, and get all the answers out of my head and on video and put up the website www.YourDigitalFormula.com, and that was going to be the end of it, no more telling people how to do it I would just direct them to my course.
But alas, the magic had other plans for me. I had hired a great business coach to move my business further on and she suggested that i should become a coach on Facebook marketing. I thought about it and let it marinate for a while and decided it would be a good idea. Well, the very next day I received a message from someone asking if I did Facebook Coaching 1 – 1. Not one to ignore the magic, I immediately said yes and set the rates and took on my first coaching client.
Then, a week later, I received a phone call from Curly Martin (the Life Coaches trainer) who wondered if it would be okay to pass on my details to David Vox from Goaly.com who was interested in collaborating on some kind of Facebook marketing course, so I flew to Copenhagen to meet him and it looks like it is going to be very lucrative for me and help a lot of businesses out there who are struggling with their Facebook page.
That's the kind of magic I am talking about.
Now, you might think it's all just coincidence, and that's your prerogative to think that, only I know different and want to teach you how to make it all happen for you, if you're open to learning?
The first step on the magical path
YOUR BELIEFS
Have you ever wondered why some people can become a huge success and others can't? Well, it's all to do with their beliefs. Their beliefs about themselves, and their beliefs about the world around them.
They have created a reality of the world for themselves, and within that reality they have the belief that they are able to do anything they put their mind to.
You too have that power, you have the magic stirring within you right this very second, but you may not know how to tap into it.
I would love to share with you just how amazing you are and how to tap into this amazingness and finally become the person you were born to be.
Let me start with one of my favourite quotes:
Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Ghandi
I also have a video to show you about the power of beliefs which gives you an insight into how our beliefs are formed:
Okay, time to show you just how amazing you really are:
Reality is Based on Your Perception of the Truth
Your reality is based on your perception of the truth, meaning that what you believe to be true about yourself and the world around is true. However, someone else with different beliefs and a different view of the world also has a reality that is true and real to them. In effect we all have a different view of the world and it all starts with our beliefs.
Change your beliefs and you change your view of reality.
So how does that work?
Okay, let me ask you if you've ever had this experience before:
You see someone in a bar, a club or at your local gym. You have noticed them before and don't find them particularly physically attractive. So you believe they are not physically attractive, according to what you believe attractiveness is. However, when that person speaks to you, you find they have an amazing personality, they make you laugh, they are intelligent, and quick witted. Suddenly your view of them literally changes, you now find that you are physically attracted to them, their appearance seems to have changed somehow and your belief about what makes someone physically attractive suddenly changes. Have you ever had that experience?
That's not to say that everyone with a great personality is going to look physically attractive, as there has to be some core elements of physical attractiveness, or what you believe constitutes attractiveness.
That's only 1 example of how beliefs shape our world.
How Our Beliefs are Formed
Psychologists say that most of our beliefs have already been formed by the age of seven years old.
SEVEN YEARS OLD!
We are not cognitively able to comprehend what beliefs are at that age and have not fully formed an opinion of the world at that age, and yet most of our beliefs about the world have already been formed and carry on into adulthood.
Where our beliefs come from
Most of our beliefs comes from our parents, our teachers, our peers, our close family and the TV and media, predominantly from the person who raised us as children.
