Get creative

September 18, 2013/ Magdalena Chandrakaí

The yoga class I attended yesterday had its focus on Svadhisthana Chakra, the second chakra. Meaning that the postures aimed at balancing our flow through the chakra that is based under the navel, in the pelvis area.

Creativity

And we opened our hips and flowed with the music.

Which is precisely what I recently wrote an article about: dance. About opening your heart and your hips and letting the rhythms wash through you as you get creative.

I have devoted these autumn months to embrace creativity. Beside dance (and potion brewing), I write, cook and do yoga. Those of you who know me also know that this is what I love to do and, thus, want to share with the world.

Sign up for Service By Magie’s VIP-letter if you crave warm words in the cold, recipe treats and Magie-cal discounts.

Tomorrow (Thursday) is the Harvest full moon, which also encourages us to use our creativity!

So, let’s all dress up in

And a crown of rowanberries

What is your favorite creative thing to do? Share! :)

Where is home?

September 04, 2013/ Magdalena Chandrakaí

Everybody wanna tame the wild gypsies. Everybody think they really can

– Diane Patterson

As a traveller constantly living the gypsy life, I always get questions concerning my home.Where do you live? Where do you consider home? And the worst: how does it feeeeel to be home? (Every time I enter Sweden).

People also seem to be offended when I insinuate that Sweden isn’t “my home”.
(It’s obviously fun to be a bit provocative).

As I see it, there are two takes on this concept of home. On the one hand, people ask where my physical home is- i.e. my house. For some, the material building and a physical space equal home. When I notice their imbalance in the root chakra and sense that this is what they mean, I usually open my hands in a wage gesture, look towards the sky and airily answer: ooooh, you knooow….

On the other hand, there is a feeling to the concept of home. Where do I feel at home? This one is trickier. Truth is, home is where I am at the moment. Thus I answer:

The world is my home

I guess that if you haven’t experienced what I mean by this it could be pretty hard to understand. So, people get a bit offended or stressed by this answer as well.

Let me explain. We all carry our home within us. I am part of Mother Earth and she is part of me. She is my home and shelter. I am my home and shelter. I am home. Always. Hence, I don’t need a house to define my home and I can feel at home everywhere.

I wanted to share this with you as we go into a New Moon in Virgo tomorrow. The last few months, I’ve been feeling that autumn -13 will be an exciting one, which is precisely what the September New Moon is confirming! Set your intentions for hard work and you will be rewarded.

You will be finding me in the forests of Småland, brewing some esoteric potion while rain is knocking on the window.
Just don’t expect me to settle.
