Playing With My Inner Wizard

My husband and I returned from our 5-day Wizard Training Camp this past weekend, tired but floating on some pretty high vibrations.  We were grateful to have the weekend as buffer while reveling in this blissfully delicious space.

When I refer to my Wizard, I'm talking about that energy that lies within all of us.  When we tap into it, we can manifest what we desire, as if by magic.  Kammie's post Real Life Wizards Magical Mystery Tour reminds us of the magic all around us, and urges us to approach life in this knowledge.

During our Wizard training, we were put through our paces to learn how a Wizard creates success with joy and elegance, instead of struggle.

We engaged in experiential exercises and processes (some intense), some "get me out of this room" challenging, for most of our training.  These physical exercises anchored concepts into our bodies.  Some of these concepts (20 in all) include learning what it feels like to go with the flow, to correct and continue in the face of setbacks, to focus in a laser way, to develop comfort with chaos and ambiguity, how to live in the present, and most important, how to consciously choose to live from our higher selves.

The first 24 hours of the training present me with my own personal lesson - also one of the ways of the Wizard - to accept and utilize "what is."  After our first major process, I feel depressed.  I judge myself harshly.  I completed the exercise 90%, but not 100%.  I find myself lacking.  My thoughts race and make me feel small and inadequate.  Then an inner knowing surfaces up to the air and I hear it tell me to accept myself . . . to accept myself as I am right in this moment. 

Here's my lesson in understanding what is . . .is:  to accept and embrace what is.  Everything else is judgment, opinion, or story (where the pain and suffering come in).  What we resist persists, because we fuel it with our energy.

The situation of not completing the process 100% is not the problem - it is the story about the situation that turned into my problem.  I learned too that I did not complete at 100% because I failed to ask for enough guidance and support.  I used that info later in the training - asking for more support, which enhanced my success.

What is . . . is  ---  a statement that does not come naturally to me, at least not after several decades of a mind conditioned by needing to be in control and to be "right."  So I take those deep breaths, and allow myself to shift to my higher self . . . and feel the lightness and relief that comes when I acknowledge "what is . . . is."  Within acceptance I discover my launching pad.

My name is Debbie Call.  My Wizard name is Magical Light.  And I love the feeling of dancing with my inner Wizard to create my life with large imagination.

Debbie,

Thanks so much for your open and honest account of your real-life wizard training. Sounds like you really dug deep and allowed yourself to go there. Isn't the act of simply allowing ourselves to BE wherever we are from moment to moment with no judgement such a freeing exercise?

And thanks for including my little magical article into your mix here at Spirit in Gear...the synchronicity thing is too cool!

Stay Passionate,
Kam

Yes, Kammie, it is indescribably freeing to let go of judgments and sit with the "being" part. Not to mention how hard it is for passion to thrive when elbowed out by constant censoring.

And so my dear ladies and gents, as we step into this space of being and acceptance, I exhort all of us to leave our know-it-all judge outside the door.
