Bending Time: A Mystic’s Technique to Making Moments Last

Me and my daughter, Jada, in her dorm at Clark Atlanta University

Can you recall a moment where you’ve been in the delightful company of a loved one and you wished time would slow down? Hours feel like minutes, and you’re left wondering where the day went. Has this ever happened to you? What if you had the power to change that?

Recently, I had the joy of spending a few days with my eldest daughter. She was home visiting during a brief college break, having been away for over two months. It was the longest she had ever been apart from us and from home.

As you can imagine, we were overjoyed to see her, even though she calls us almost nightly. I just wished I could slow down the world around us to savor every precious moment with her.

Have you ever been so engrossed in a moment that you looked at a clock and wondered, “Where did the time go?” How did it feel?

I was determined not to let time “slip by” with my daughter. Then it struck me, “Hey, you’re a Piscean mystic. You have an affirmation or mantra for everything.” I remembered that one of my esoteric books addressed this very issue.

I realized that time is not something separate from me, nor is it separate from anything or anyone. I am One with Time. So, I remembered the request I could make to my Guides, asking them to EXPAND TIME for me.

You can make this request to your Higher Self, the Universe, your Guides, God, or whoever you connect with spiritually. Simply affirm: “I AM the Expansion of Time.” This straightforward phrase does precisely what it says — it expands time by anchoring your awareness in the present moment.

Personally, I asked God to extend time for the duration of my daughter’s visit. And something amazing happened — time slowed down! Those days felt longer than they actually were. What was a mere 5 days felt like over a week! In those moments, nothing else mattered except what was most important: being fully present in the NOW, because that’s the only time that exists.

I’d like to encourage you to give it a try for yourself. The next time you want to prolong the enjoyment of a vacation or savor more time with a loved one, simply ask your Higher Self to expand Time and affirm your unity with It.

This technique also works in reverse. Suppose you’re on a long journey and wish to arrive faster. Ask the Universe to contract Time and affirm your oneness with it. Then, observe the results.

Here are a few time-related affirmations that you can use on your journey. Most of these are found in my book, “Cosmic Parenting: Unleash Your Child’s Magical Superpowers of the Zodiac.”
