A ritual or a magical act is another possibility for conscious manifestation. So many half-truths, superstitions and sometimes also rejection and fear are associated with these two words that I would like to describe my view of them.

Witches, sorcerers, druids, magicians, white and black magic - these are all terms that spring to mind when you think of these two buzzwords, as well as indiginous people, alchemy, cultural customs and the traditions of pagan tribes.

What is magic and what are rituals?

Magic is nothing more than the attempt to change or influence a state, a thing or a situation, in a positive or negative way, with the help of the elements and elemental beings or forces. It is a certain kind of conscious manifestation. As already explained in the part IV, the "Flower of Life Grid" has only been renewed in recent years and so in earlier times it took a considerable amount of extra effort to consciously direct energy, change it or "move" the elements. Magic is a somewhat outdated form of working with electromagnetic and electrical currents, as well as opening doors that lead to higher-dimensional or invisible planes and levels - and making contact with the guardians and "inhabitants" of these spaces. The darker the intention, the denser the planes, the more likely it is to be referred to as black magic. What white and black magic have in common is the deliberate manipulation to achieve a certain result. If the intention is positive, this is called white magic.

But what IS magic actually? Is it a power? An ability?

Of course, I can only answer this question from my own perspective, without claiming to be exhaustive. For me, magic is a moment outside of time and space. A moment in which everything seems to stand still and hold its breath. For me, magic is the moment between inhaling and exhaling. In osteopathy and body therapy, the main aim is to bring about this moment of great stillness in the movement of the bodily fluids and the entire system - the great stillness, the still point. This "place" is where that which we call healing takes place. This is where a complete reorganization of the body and its structures takes place and, in my opinion, this is the same moment that magical rituals and prayers seek to achieve.

This still point is like a great pause. It is where the magic takes place or where the magic lives, which can renew, change and reorganize everything. It is pure creative energy without polarization. By design, every structure contains several or at least one of these still points. Every element carries it within itself. The attempt to find exactly those "tones" that activate or trigger it is as old as humanity itself.

A ritual is first and foremost simply a consciously performed action with a strong focus on this action. Rituals are often reinforced by symbols, candles that can be placed at the cardinal points to indicate magnetic alignment, objects that symbolize certain qualities and geometric patterns in which these objects are laid out. All of this is an external representation of meditative manifesting. A variant of manifesting with movement. A ritual in itself carries no magic. The magic comes through our focus, the calming of the mind and the still points that this creates. A ritual can be powerful if many of these still or quiet points are created. They can also be void if no focus or focused emotion is involved.

Magic is zero-point energy. We find it within us and around us. We find it within us, in our heart. However, with a little practice and knowledge of our own inner spaces, this zero-point energy, magic or still point can be triggered anywhere. In the best case, a ritual is therefore a successful attempt to transfer intentions via that magical still point to the "flower of life grid". A ritual that is performed from this place can have an exceptionally powerful effect. Repeated rituals can charge places, especially if they are already places of power. In my opinion, however, it is important to understand that there is no inherent power in the ritual itself. The power comes from us, as does the magic. Thus, a ritual is merely an auxiliary tool to release the magic inherent in the human being from the space of silence, to release it and to connect it with the magic inherent in all of creation.

Example of magical manifesting

There are many possibilities for magical manifestation rituals. I will limit myself here to a very simple and uncomplicated one and once again encourage you to be creative and playful with this tool, should it trigger joy in you to work with it. If not, you're not missing anything. It is not necessary to perform rituals. It is simply a possibility that can be understood as a form of expression.

Fire ritual

If you are outdoors, build a small fire, for example in a fire bowl. Light a candle inside it, bless it in your own way beforehand and turn it into a special ritual candle. Prepare a fireproof mold. Prepare several small pieces of paper. Write on them what you want to manifest. Also write the actual state on the back, for example you want a car, the actual state is immobility. Sink into your heart, focus on the flame or the fire, while you evoke the emotions that you want your manifestation to trigger in you. Connect deeply with your heart and the "flower of life grid". When you feel it is the right moment, throw your note into the fire or hold it in the candle flame and let it burn to ashes in the bowl. Write on another piece of paper what you are grateful for. Burn it as well. You can burn herbs or bundles of herbs over an open fire. Burning herbs in rituals serves to cleanse and purify, but is also an expression of your gratitude. If you are religious, you can combine this with a prayer, if you do not wish to pray, turn inwards to source and ask for the highest outcome for all involved in this manifestation. This is also like letting go of the manifestation. If possible, let the fire burn out completely. Do not extinguish the candle by blowing it out, but with a candle snuffer or your moistened fingertips.
