Oh Magnificence, how great you are! You are the invisible thread that weaves together the power of planets and galaxies, castles and candles, hands and houses, diamonds and dreams. Life is breathtaking and relentless in its expression. Its mighty Magnificence never takes a break. Nothing is excluded here; the current runs through all things. NOW I hear the call. In a swirling revelation, I can see that ALL things meet in the centre of Magnificence. Magnificence is the undertone; the overflow, the essence – it is from whence we spring.

But hold up. Wait I hear you say. Can it be true that everything is Magnificent? In time, life’s pallet of experiences reveals many shades of grey; the celebrations, the heartbreaks, the breakdowns and the breakthroughs. People, things, places and spaces, ideas and visions, the memories and regrets; mostly loving, playful, confident and courageous. But sometimes also sad, nervous, disappointed and afraid. It is intoxicating, enchanting, inspiring and often scary but no matter what you may be experiencing on the surface levels of your life, know that underneath all the chaotic content, there is a quiet, clear field. It is powerful and open. It is the essence of Magnificence.

So what is this hesitation we feel in the air? Is it appropriate to declare your own Magnificence?

Ah, the sweet risk of sheer Magnificence. How dare you stand up, knowing your own worthiness? How dare you look into the eyes of the mirror of your own self and declare you are indeed celebrated and loved. To be in such an activity with your own love of self that you willingly fall deeply into that divine romance. Will you dare to stand powerfully on the platform of this mighty present moment, and take a vow to NOW, to fill this moment with Magnificence? Will you be in an alliance with excellence? Shine the light of your self-devotion. Declare it! Share it! See others within yourself. Reflect and reveal the truth of humanity’s nature by feeling the depths of your own Magnificence! Too much? Never! Your ever-increasing Magnificence is just getting started.

What if you declare your wholeness, your soulful beauty and ever increasing abundance? How amazing that would be? To stand in your own skin and not wish to be somewhere else; to be in awe of your own ability to love so deeply. What if you were to be the one who loves the most? What if you started with you? Risky Magnificence. Magnificent NOW. Magnificent you.

This endless broadcast of intelligence oozes with such sweet creativity. This is your adventure in time and space and you seek out the finest things; the people you play with, the places you go, the experiences you have, the emotions you invest in. Magnificence has a price you know, you have to pay… attention. You are on an energetic shopping spree looking for things to make you feel. Yet under the chaotic scramble towards acquiring magnificence, we are humbled to find, it is already here. You know great quality when you encounter it for it is matched by your own magnificence.

Magnificent is not what you are becoming; it is what you are! You arrived in this world Magnificent. It is your nature, your default setting and the very place that you create from, the essence of all things. Magnificence was always the starting point.

May we stop being so busy putting all of our happiness in the future that we miss the magnificent us NOW. What can be more important than knowing our own magnificence? For without an intimate celebration of ourselves, how can we possibly bring our gifts to this world? You cannot give what you feel you do not have. After all, your Magnificence doesn’t just belong to you, it belongs to the world!

Magnificence is not just a feature of Life’s big moments, but rather the fabric that holds all of life together in this delicious now! Magnificence is a mode of travel, a way of being in this world. What you see depends on what you are looking for. What are you interested in? Where is your focus? You are standing in a field of Magnificence! All of it is awesome! May you train your eye to go on a hunt to see the presence of Magnificence.

Magnificence is seeing the absolutely extraordinary in the ordinary. It is in trains and planes. It is the ground you walk on during your morning walk. It is in your water, your phone call, your car and your cat. It is found in the breeze, flowing through trees and in the onions you peel. It is in space travel, meditation, cleaning and dreaming. It is in contracts and credit cards, meetings and traffic jams. It is the morning embrace and it is in your lover’s eyes.

May you disturb YOuR Magnificence into expression. Allow yourself to be great. Shake off the dust of the last moment to allow the fresh perspective of the present moment to shine here and NOW. Give yourself permission. Dance in the rain. Rest. Create. Play. Be intimate. Ban the conversation in your mind that tells you that you are not up to scratch. understand the difference between fine-tuning yourself into excellence and repeating a bad habit; an un-necessary low opinion of yourself. You are enough. Right here and NOW. Let your mediocrity go! Conjure up the audacity to be Magnificent. Know your divine origins are anchored in such cosmic ‘fabulosity’. Be the one to be struck by the light of your own brilliance. Be in direct contact with the best of what is unfolding. Magnificence is an invitation. It is the ultimate VIP back stage pass to the present moment, and NOW it is your responsibility – you are its instrumentality.

You are the caretaker, the door opener of this great energetic gift.

YOu are the concierge of Magnificence!
