Hocus Pocus! Abracadabra!
Hocus Pocus
If we are individuals who have not gained awareness in our lives, we attribute every situation we have experienced or encountered in the past to fate and think that we are desperate in a place full of regret and worry. We settle for our feelings as if we cannot have any influence on them. What do you think all the past emotions reflected in the present and our minds polluted by these feelings will manifest in our lives?
The need we have to prioritize is the energy source of our life energy. The experiential processes perspective of a mind having moved away from its source, trapped in itself and captured by emotions with force in a cage, gradually depletes one’s physical energy. Limiting beliefs, negative thoughts, and conversations that show up in individuals initiate a period in which they lose control of their life after a while and have difficulty taking action. At the point where they realize that they cannot cope with time, they wait for a savior, and this often results in an antidepressant.
Let’s go to the world of MAGIC SHOW with you. Now imagine a magician performing on stage. He is getting ready for his best illusion show. The people in the audience, who wish to watch the entertaining show and be surprised, will focus on the magician on stage.
The famous magician, who strengthens the audience’s attention, starts to do his/ her tricks, one after the other. The only purpose of the magician we are watching in amazement, is to attract attention and prepare the audience for his/ her legendary final trick. The audience is sometimes amused, and sometimes scared, but when they get scared, they get curious, and the brain operates differently from its usual functioning, and desensitizes the senses. At that moment when the brain is deceived and the facts are distorted by optical illusions, our famous magician utters his transformative, creative words. HOCUS POCUS ABRACADABRA! and applause comes from the bewildered audience!
Why do you think our brain, that scientists have written countless articles about, proving its power and perfection through endless research, is surprised by such an illusion? Here is the scientific answer I will give you: GESTALT DEPTH PERCEPTION!
Cubes, prisms, seeing fish smaller than they are underwater, seeing a person as a whole without separating them as the face, arm, body, and leg, and with the most known of them, a hose lying on the ground in the dark at night being perceived as a snake are examples.
If we go even further, high fever, substance abuse or psychological symptoms of visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, and somatic hallucinations, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease, brain tumors, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, and sleep disorders are some more examples. But even in its simplest form, I want you to look again at this article you are reading right now. Please notice that you see the sentences and words in this article and the paragraph as a whole, not divided into L-E-T-T-E-R-S.
In the Gestalt theory that I explained in detail in the Gestalt Coaching module training within the Holistic Life & Business Coaching Diploma Program, prepared and developed by me, many features of gestalt principles and perception, and the mental illusions created by these principles and characteristics on individuals with psychological effects are examined.
In this approach, which tries to make an explanation based on human lives and behavior, aiming a very distinct integration, some emotions cannot be expressed. In fact, the gestalt approach is a strong learning model, and a Coach who uses this model in coaching finds expression for all emotions using various methods in Gestalt coaching that cannot be expressed by the gestalt approach.
In this theoretically and practically designed elective training, Gestalt and creativity are considered as a whole. In addition to all their coaching knowledge and skills, Gestalt coaches offer their clients various life experiments in the coaching process. By going through this experiential process, you gain a strong awareness of the effects of all your past experiences.
With the deep peace you will feel within, being aware of what you see, hear, feel, do and what is around you, as well as respecting all your experiences, you choose which experiences you will use and which experiences you will leave behind as you move to the point you want to reach with the consciousness of being HERE AND NOW. Now, the past is genuinely lived and done for you. With the awareness and belief that you have already been whole and complete from the time of your existence, now you are ready to move forward with your inner wisdom. Now you tell me;
Can you, with your emotions and mind coming together in the present, take a multidimensional look at your life?
How do you, with your emotions and mind coming together in the present and being able to see multidimensionally, shape your life?
Hocus Pocus Abracadabra! Wake up from your illusions and be a magician who transforms and creates their own life, not an audience who is influenced by others. But believe this yourself first.
Now in this article I wrote for you, think about all the lines you read again, If you were a real magician, what would you want to transform and recreate in your own life?
What is the MAGIC PHRASE that will push you forward in a second, strengthen your passion, motivate you to achieve your goals, and make you take that big powerful first step?
An individual who has reached inner integrity with an incredible amount of faith, passion, and enthusiasm has gained a strong awareness. In fact, they have gained themselves and have taken control of their entire life instead of seeing what they have experienced or will experience as fate. Close your eyes for a moment and go back inside, notice the energy source trapped there, and with your magic phrase, free that power from its cage.
Hold it in your hands and talk to it, hear what it says back to you, and then take that power into your whole body, take all the emotion it makes you feel, and move on from here. You already have what you need, and you are always brave enough to trust your own inner wisdom. You can let go of anything that is not good for you, that pulls you down, and depletes your life energy. You can be careful to focus not on illusions, but on that goal you have always wanted to achieve. With the power of your experience, you can find the right and best way to make decisions.
With all your life energy, you can create a life that you will be happy to live freely and originally.
Dear magician, who always draws their strength from within, what shows will you be presenting on your life stage today?
