All of my magic spells will come true today - Day 22 of 30 day writing challenge

Today seems like an auspicious day. It's a day where magic spells I've set will come true.

30-Day writing challenge through Kale & Cigarettes (500 words)

As I'm just waking, I know something is up with my pineal gland, which secreted not only melatonin into my system as I slept, but also was receiving messages from my pituitary gland—the master gland bridging the endocrine system to the nervous system, keeping them in harmony.

there is magic in the air

For, the magic spells I've arranged are really geared toward coming into balance, a state of harmony, into complete homestasis. Sometimes that—a spell—is what's necessary. I can't help it. And then it just happens.

Like yesterday I was alone but felt sure there was a visitor, a witness. In that, I knew I would never be hurt again, and that it was only because I was inhabiting silence that I knew this.

a world in a glance or raindrop

Tyler Knott Gregson's poem strikes me today as my reason for writing today though. About all the meaning hidden behind glances. Maybe they are magic spells, consciously or unconsciously-driven. The silent words spoken, that don't need words, are captured in slight movements and moments frozen in time, as they become stories or perceptions, bouncing off others to begin new lives of their own.

The same holds true for light raindrops. It's raining now and I'm in my home office, which is a sunroom add-on to the house. Enclosed in glass, I can hear and see more. I feel like time has slowed down as I hear each raindrop in slow motion, each its own heartbeat. I don't see the splashes as they hit the ground, but I imagine them.

harmony in the glands

Back to my pituitary gland. It harnessed something magical in my yoga practice this morning, as the rain created a surreal steam in the room. It was slow motion in there (even though I wasn't, as I needed to get out of there on time to drive my daughter to school, and I had some extra energy). Still, my surroundings were slow. This morning I did two series faster than normal, a difference from the longheld breaths. Primary Series is Yoga Chikitsa (yoga therapy), Intermediate Series is Nadi Shodhana (purification of the subtle body and nervous system). The two together are my favorite. It gives me back my power, that slowly seeps out of me (especially yesterday). If I can do both series and more, I can never be hurt again. This is my experiment and it works.

Now I'm in the perfect mental and spiritual space to know that my magic spells are coming true today. It's good stuff. The challenge helps me to look at myself, and it's why I evolve and grow.
