fairies are nearby, as we feel so alive. So hold these breathtaking moments close. Breathe them in. Ask intuitively, “What giſt is here?” To draw close to these powerful beings,
we can learn to take note of every single detail when we’re in nature—even if we’re in a small park in the centre of a city or an avenue of trees on our street. Silently greet these living presences. Note their colors and scents, the shape of their flowers and leaves. Study any rocks and stones here. Tere’s something powerful about being seen, as all of these details draw us into connection. Develop a relationship with trees.
FAIRY MAGIC
Feeling Their Touch in Nature by Maggie Hamilton
M
any of us have long been curi- ous about fairies, aching to see them as a child, to glimpse their
world. Oſten, all our longing goes into wanting to see these astonishing beings, not realizing we’ve already met them. Fairies live at the heart of creation,
and daily they speak to us through our senses, setting them on fire. Know that every upliſting moment in nature—every blazing sunset that has moved us, every sprinkle of snow—is a glimpse of their healing presence, a glimpse of their world.
To enter into a profound relation-
ship with fairies, first we must believe in them—we must make-believe. Sadly, many of us have lost access to their wis- dom, their healing touch, because we’re searching for funny little beings in pink tutus.
Fairies are the heart and soul of
living nature. Tey speak to us through beauty, as it’s a more healing language than our own. Tey whisper to us in the sound of the sea and the first appear- ance of buds in spring. We know when
Discover which trees we are drawn to. Run our fingers over their bark. Note the bend and sway of their boughs. Pay atten- tion to how they look at different times of the day, in different seasons and weather. Learn to greet these trees as we would an old friend, and only connect with them out of love, not out of neediness, as no one, not even fairies, likes needy. Ten, magically, all of this beauty
and the story of each soul-stopping mo- ment with nature’s fairy caretakers will live inside us until we no longer feel sepa- rate from the web of life. Tat’s when trees start to talk to us—when our soul soars to see a tiny blade of grass pushing its way up through the pavement.
Maggie Hamilton is the author of the new Hay House book, Inside the Secret Life of Fairies: Where Dreams Come True.
