Unleashing The Power of Wonder
Use it to manifest a magical life!
I want to share a tool you can use to manifest more of what you want in your life. A teacher of mine, Sonia Choquette, often speaks about how Michelangelo encouraged his students to wonder about 500 things per day.
You might wonder why practices from the 15th century are relevant today. The answer is simple: this technique, proven effective by Michelangelo, is a timeless tool for inspiring creative ideas and manifesting situations that align with your highest and best interest.
Consider the impact of Michelangelo’s masterpieces, such as the Statue of David and the Sistine Chapel ceiling. These works were revolutionary in their time, and the key to their creation was Michelangelo's unique approach. He engaged his imagination through wonder, probably spending countless hours contemplating his creations and allowing his imagination to soar. This is the power of the tool I'm sharing with you.
Fast forward 500 years to 2021
While waiting for a friend in Sedona by a beautiful mesa, a man nearby struck up a conversation and wondered aloud how the Sedona canyons were created. His curiosity about the natural world around him was infectious.
He speculated about how the vast canyons and awe-inspiring formations came to be, and we shared ideas back and forth. I told him, “You wonder like a scientist. Michelangelo told his students to wonder about 500 things a day.”
He responded with a smile, “I’d be a good student of his.”
Wondering expands our thinking and our approach to the world. It invites us to explore possibilities and engage our creativity.
Here are some ‘wonders’ to ponder this weekend
- I wonder what will make this weekend magical?
- I wonder what the next best step is for me in my business, my career?
- I wonder how to manifest (the amount of money you want)?
- I wonder how to have a stronger connection with the Divine? My guides, my highest purpose?
- I wonder how to attract more clients?
- I wonder who I will meet this weekend?
- I wonder how I can make this painting pop?
- I wonder how I can persuade the kids to calm down?
- I wonder what that is in the sky?
- I wonder what to cook for dinner?
Let your imagination take over and see where it leads you.
When you embrace wonder, you quiet the voice that says, “I can’t” or “That won’t work.” The phrase “I wonder” calms the part of your brain that wants to control and make all the decisions. The inspirations that arise from using “I wonder” come from an intuitive, heart-inspired place.
I hope you will use this tool whenever you seek an answer or inspiration. Happy wondering!
May you be inspired
May you always feel wonder about life
May your creations be electrifying
May you be at peace.
