Failure. It creates such an emotive response in the mind, and heart! Nobody enjoys the feelings associated with having failed at something.
Let’s flip the script on that word ‘failure’. Instead, if we reframe the concept of ‘you’ve failed’ to ‘you need to learn from this before you can succeed’ and then try to draw valuable insights from the experience. It turns failing into learning.

Leaning into a difficult situation such as a problem at work or the end of a relationship can feel counterintuitive. Surely avoiding challenges also helps avoid those horrible feelings of discomfort?!
But it is only by walking through the discomfort that we can come out the other side of it better prepared for the next challenge.

Many of us want to achieve perfection in our lives. If we reach perfection, we believe this will finally make us happier, or give us a sense of acceptance by others. With the drive for perfection can come burnout, feelings of anxiousness and stress.
This affirmations meditation aims to help celebrate success, to learn that setbacks are part of a process and that we’re probably holding ourselves to impossible standards anyway!
By allowing a sense of ‘good enough’ to satisfy us, we can learn to enjoy being in the moment and allow gratitude for where we are today creep in. Click the link for this free guided meditation.
Formulation is a technique used in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy that helps to identify where there might be repeating patterns between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. For today’s guided meditation, you could choose to use a pen and some paper to note down any patterns you identify, but identifying the patterns is what leads you to the next steps.
This might be a pattern in the triggers, a pattern in the negative thoughts, a pattern in strong emotions or a pattern in behaviours. Once you have spotted the patterns, you can take the next steps towards challenging these.
The very essence of magick is learning how to “see” an outcome in order to bring into reality. Using these techniques can take some time to learn, so today’s meditation is more a practice in what visualisation (especially in a magickal context) really means.
Everyone has access to their own inner wisdom, but sometimes we get stuck in our own heads or we get stuck in logic thinking patterns which means our intuition can’t get a word in. This guided meditation can help clear the chatter.
Many of us form blocks about our ability to access money. These then become limiting beliefs. By accessing where these beliefs came from, we can challenge them. This guided meditation aims to do just that!
We’re trying something new here at Magenta School of Magick. As the nights draw in and autumn comes, we too can find our own sense of self shifting in these darker months. We have been running a three part series of interconnected meditations throughout September looking at Tackling Depression.
This is part three. Distracting the mind by recalling events that took place the day before can be helpful. In this meditation we are looking at what took place yesterday, even if all that happened was waking up and having something to eat. Then reframing one aspect to label it as ‘one good thing’.

This is part two. Cognitive distortions are those habitual ways of thinking that are negatively biased and often untrue. In this meditation we are looking at negative thinking when this is focused on a perceived lack of value offered to other people.
