Introduction
Having spent an entire day, indeed one’s whole existence, in this quaint and subtle reality called life,… the heart adores how ethereal fiction brings bulwark from being exposed to a world brimming with truth —,… where routine drowns out respite. An enchanting phrase that captures such a getaway from reality is “Hiraya Manawari.” What, then, is this beguiling little phrase referring to, and how does it wish for us to track the landscape of fantasy? First, we dissect Hiraya Manawari and the rich worlds it encourages us to journey into.
What Does Hiraya Manawari Mean?
As a note, “Hiraya Manawari” is an expression deeply rooted in Filipino culture, which comes from Tagalog. Hiraya Manawari derives from the two Filipino words: “Hiraya” —- the fruit of one’s dreams, wishes or aspirations and “Manawari” — may it come true. Hiraya Manawari literally means wishful thinking, and in general, it is a beautiful wish for someone’s dreams or aspirations to come true.
Stop Dreaming: The Fantasy in Our Lives
Magic is a significant part of our lives. We watch TV to get away from the everyday, travel to new locations and live out of our minds. The realms of fantasy can expand our sense of marvel and excitement or even offer us comfort. This power of fantasy is encapsulated in the phrase “Hiraya Manawari”, a reminder to dream big and have faith that our dreams can happen and be sustained.

Embracing Imagination
Fantasy begins with IMAGINATION. — Imagination is where we can build up and wander in creative worlds, characters, and storylines. We keep our imagination alive by remaining in touch with the realm of fantasy. When psychological thought patterns are re-wired for love, compassion, and peace, our automatically universally trained responses shift to acceptance[ 2], creating a better understanding of each other. This can also help us creatively get in touch with our original thinking processes, which some may refer to as being child-like again (a renewed state of clear mind).
Literature and Media
Fantasy is brought to us by literature and media. Delivering us to worlds where the impossible becomes possible, from classic novels and, more recently, into films and television. Therein lies the magic of fantasy, and by diving head-first into these storied worlds, we are afforded just a taste.
The Made of Magic Benefits Of Fantasy
Fantasy can also be therapeutic. They give us an escape from a world of stress and anxiety to let our minds roam free. But fantasy can also be a device to process emotions and experiences, helping us find comfort in the unknown.
Conclusion
There is more to “Hiraya Manawari” than just a saying; it means we are praying for our dreams and hopes. We watch the fantasy world and free ourselves in a way that unimaginations rest within our souls. Fiction, media, or even pretending can ignite our imagination, and the more we entertain fantasy in real life, the more hope we have to go after what we dream of. And so, Hiraya Manawari, on your way to the dream!
