Mundanely Magical Living

Last week my coach suggested we run the worst-case scenario for my wedding.

Immediately, I felt fear in my body.

Which probably meant we needed to do it.

What surprised me was that my deepest fear wasn't rain, forgotten details, or anything going wrong.

It was missing the whole thing.

Being physically present, but not truly there.

At one point she asked:

"What would it look like to be just 1% more connected right now?"

My answer came immediately.

"I would look up and see the mountains."

And just like that, I remembered.

The earth beneath me.
The sky above me.
The fact that I am held.

Sometimes we don't need to find our light.

We just need something that helps us remember it was there all along.

This month on Mundanely Magical Living we are exploring The Season of Unearthing.

Sit comfortably and place your hands in front of you.

First, make a tight fist.

Notice what happens in your body when you grip tightly. The tension. The effort. The contraction.

Now slowly open your hand.
Feel the difference. Softness. Space. Relief.

What am I gripping that I no longer need to hold so tightly?

Maybe it’s a thought.
A pressure.
A responsibility.
A fear.
An expectation.

You do not need to get rid of it completely today.

Just practice loosening your grip.

Even slightly.
