Magic

I mean… How does it get any better than that? I then flew to Singapore where I only spent two days. For me, what excites me is just being free in a new city. I love the feeling of landing and just exploring. No phone. No time. No place to be. Bliss.

For a long time I’ve been trying to find my place in this world, where I fit in, and perhaps the people I’m supposed to meet are on the other side of the world. You see, I’ve always had a hard time making connections with people in my own city, which can be lonely at times. The people I’ve met while traveling however, I feel like I’ve known them for years. Funny how that happens.

Sun shining. Feeling amazing. My heart just expanded and expanded as my connections with these beauties grew and grew. Incredibly enlightened beings who are in my life due to the magic of the laws of the universe.

Next up Brunei. Many people skip Brunei probably due to the fact it has Sharia’s Law. But I think it’s important to remember we shouldn’t judge people based on their government. I also believe in being at the right place at the right time and meeting people you’re supposed to meet. As is what happened as I walking down a random street where I met Mar Li who ended up showing me around for the next two days! It was one of the more memorable memories I’ve had while visiting Brunei.

After Brunei I flew to Vietnam where I spent the next few weeks. There is no better feeling than the one of grounding and reminding of who I am and what’s most important (love. Connection. New experiences. Trust. Presence.) I don’t really have words for just the feeling of a vibration like no other. Every interaction. Every powerfully channeled message was an ‘ooooof’ moment. By this stage I am feeling my favorite feeling and my favorite energy more than ever.. The one I like to call ‘How does it get any better?’.. You know that feeling of flow? Ease? Like EVERYTHING is lining up in synchronicity like as if God has you on a puppet strings, showing you how beautiful it all is? Courageousness? Acceptance? Peace? An imperturbable Joy? Yeeeup. That’s what I like to call magic. So I left Vietnam, heart as full as can be, soul as light and shiny, just the lightest beam of connection from stars to earth running through my being..

And then I landed In Laos. Luang Prabang. My favorite country in all of SE Asia and my favorite city. Luang Prabang is a UNESCO World Heritage site and I think that’s why I loved it so much. It was a picturesque with golden roofed temples and monks walking the streets. I had the most fun learning about Laotian Buddhism.

And then it came time to explore Cambodia. Of course seeing the Angkor Wat with my own eyes was pure magic but I loved Phnom Penh just as much and learning about the tragic past and how much they’ve had to overcome and how much they are still struggling from the damage their former communist dictator have caused them. You should seriously read up on it if you’re not familiar with the Cambodian Genocide. It will put things in perspective for you.

When I got to Koh Rong Sanloem, the last stop on my Cambodian part of the trip, I remember thinking HOW did I get so lucky so to be able to find a way to earn an income while also traveling the world (my dream life). I learn so much from other people across the world when I travel I wouldn’t trade it for a single second or take it for granted. The way they love, give, and just live… I think I cried a lot here just with the biggest gratitude ever that life was this way. It’s funny. I look back at how I felt in that energy and that feeling of beautiful flow… Of everything being so so perfect and easy. Feeling like ‘this is the dream’ and I am reminded of Steve Jobs ‘You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking back’. I think back to all the work I’d done on myself and what intentions I sent out through my energy. My intentions were ALL about how I wanted to feel.. And THIS feeling.. This ‘magic’, was exactly that. No wait.. It IS exactly that. Because it continues. Because I chose it and I continue to choose it.. Magic. It’s a thing. Ahh ok. And now time for Thailand!

One of my favorite places in the world. Again.. Magic. My favorite part of the trip was in Chiang Mai during the lantern festival. I remember looking up and seeing hundreds of lanterns in the sky. It was like nothing I’ve seen before. Indescribable. I spent 3 weeks in beautiful bliss. Traveling around Thailand, being the magical vortex it is, brought so much insight and clearing as always.

It left me feeling guided, grounded, light and connected. I had a few sessions that had me feeling quite deep- In that I learned a lot about myself. I cried a lot. As you do when you explore yourself deeply. But I was so grateful for it all and left feeling better than ever. Fun little fact when it was time to board my flight to come home.. I almost missed my flight but the plane was ‘miraculously’ delayed by 10 mins letting me on.. Yet ANOTHER time where the universe just had my back and kept on fluffing the pillows of this beautiful flow I’ve chosen. This is important.. The small things that go beautifully, connected, which make the entire experience one of magic. THAT’s magic. Anyway, Again- I felt called to ‘work on’ pieces of my book I’m writing but through all of my self-exploration over the last 3 months, I felt so ready. Of course, my ego was trying to tell me that this readiness was actually unpreparedness, but I had this beautiful pull, trust and knowing that I was ready to deliver a message to the world and it had been worked on where it counted.. The soul. Looking back, I worked ‘harder’ on this piece than anything else. Because 3 months ago I set the intention that I would go to work on myself so to go to work on the message that needed to be delivered. The ego isn’t used to this sort of ease and flow. I am so happy I knew the difference.

When I returned home after over 2 months of traveling, I was so calm, grounded and trusting. Every time someone asked if I get scared traveling alone, I said no. For me, it’s liberating. And I surprised myself with this. Because again, the ego would like us to think that it couldn’t possibly be this easy. That you can go to work on yourself with the intention of a specific message/delivery to a special audience and have it all be guided with divine love and truth. About 2 weeks into my trip I started doubting myself and my abilities. Haha, duh. But again, it was the ego’s last ditch attempt at getting me to think I couldn’t do it. Long story short, I have the confidence to go to places I’d never heard of, meet people I would have never met and most importantly I have trust in myself, flow, grounding and most importantly, love and service.

Anyway writing is so easy when you ground yourself in your role- To impact the audience like they’ve never been impacted before. Perhaps a bold intention, but that was mine. Because I knew I hadn’t had the ‘SE Asia’ experience I’d had for just a teeny little message to come out.

Anyway, that went a bit longer than I expected but I think I wrote it for my own reflection (totes selfish bitch)… My point here is this… The word magic. Why do people assume magic isn’t real? I find it hard to describe my life and occurrences in my life as anything other than magic. This beautiful flow, synchronicity, things showing up, things going better than planned, the dots connected, this heart thumping feeling of beautiful love, guidance, connection, ecstasy… That’s magic. But magic is real. Humans have it confused. They assume magic is the ‘impossible’ happening.. When really, the impossible is just something humans made up to describe things that are unlikely to be real based on our CAGED assumptions of what real is. Real? Not real? I have seen more ‘unreal’ things that most people would think isn’t ‘real’.. And what humans think is ‘real’ really isn’t. Like, things. And all that stuff that isn’t love. What’s real is anything we can imagine. Our imagination is the most real shit ever. That’s the truth. Like john lennon says (I think it’s JL), the more real you become, the more unreal things become. It’s something like that. And the reason I wrote this, even though its totes off tangent, is because on the plane today I watched David Blaine’s magic. Although it blows my conscious mind- What he can do. Making cards appear from nowhere, I’m honestly not at all surprised. If the Universe can be created, for water to flow, for trees to grow, for grass to grow, for plants to grow knowing exactly what animals need for healing.. ALL of the extraordinary things that happen that most people don’t even notice, then why is a card appearing randomly so ‘impossible’ and ‘magic’??? It isn’t. It’s real. And it’s no surprise considering what the universe does everyday, while most remain naïve about it.

Seeing the faces of people on the magic show and their responses ‘OMG THAT’S SO WEIRDDDD’… I just think… “kid, how does your kidney know how to just get rid of waste?’ How does your mitochondria know how to produce ATP? How does your mind know how to tell your middle finger to lift? How does the universe know who you need to meet and when? How do you know how to feel emotions? I mean really. There is magic all around us.. Every single day. The illusion isn’t magic. The illusion is the mistake humans make by misidentifying the ‘real’ and the ‘unreal’. Anything we can imagine is real. And if you have a look around, complete and utter magic is happening every time you take a breath, every time you think a thought. If we could all understand this, and choose to live in this beautiful flow, magic, trust, then perhaps our ‘dream lives’ wouldn’t be such a dream. The only thing between you, and your dream life, is your belief about what’s possible and what’s not, what’s real and what’s not. What’s magic, and what’s not. It’s just the flick of a switch.

For me, magic is real. The unreal is real. And there is no such thing as impossible. And with that, I thank the universe for the gift of knowing the truth about magic.

With love and of course, magic, from up in the clouds somewhere between Mediterranean and Europe (and with some pretty sweet turbulence).. Jess. XXX
