Wishes...

What are wishes? Why do we "make" wish? What are we making? Who/what grants our wishes?

Sometimes I wish things were different than they are. Sometimes I wish I had more, sometimes less. Sometimes I wish for an event. Sometimes I make wishes for myself and sometimes I make wishes for others. Sometimes I make wishes for the world.

The feeling of wishing is interesting. For me, it's like a slight pause. A holding of breath. I feel my mind focus and the energy of my body comes together around my heart. And then after I make the wish, it all releases. Like the fluffy seeds of a dandelion after I blow them off the stem. The wish goes out into the world to take seed.

Wishing is much like setting an intention. Wishing lacks follow through. What if I followed some of those wish seeds and actually watered them? What if I put an action plan to my wish?

What do you wish? And are there action step to take in fulfilling that wish? Write out what you want, write out the action steps to getting there. Take an action a day. Feel as if your wish was already granted.
