(00:53) What do I mean by magic? A lot of people have a kind of misconception about magic, and since it’s me, if you are a consistent listener you know that I enjoy looking up the etymology of words and bringing that back for you guys. So, the word magic comes from the old Persian “magush” meaning power. So, it's the power to direct and discern your flow of energy, right? So when we focus our thoughts and focus our words, focus the way that we speak over ourselves, what were spelling out to the universe- that is magic. It's all us, it's all our Consciousness, it's all our vibrational output. If we think about the universe in terms of vibration and frequency, we only perceive what we vibrate as. So, if you’re perceiving this, you’re vibrating at the same frequency as it. So, whether or not you're skeptical of it, you know maybe it's not something you’ve thought about in these terms before, but that doesn’t really matter. You’re here, you're here for the party, right? I just want to talk a little bit about things that back in the day might have been considered magic that today people don't think about. So many of the things that I talk about are great for magic. For instance, a prayer is magic, right? It’s directing thought, directing intention. People do it all the time, they just don’t view it in terms of “that is a magic.” Lighting candles with intention behind it; that is a magic. Putting intention into your water, into your food; magic. But people don't think of it that way because they think of magic as fake or separate, but where did these words come from? What was the origin of this, what was the thought behind it? So when you walk it back and view it, you can say “Ah! Magic has been here the whole time, I just didn’t know that that's what it was, I was viewing it as something else.” Your magic is in your ability to create your reality, and you create your reality by directing your thoughts, and you direct your thoughts by keeping your emotions in check, or rather allowing them to process and soothe and to raise in vibration to a point of joy and love. Which is why we’re here on the Joy Channel Podcast, to allow our joy to raise, to allow our vibrations to raise, our thoughts to raise, so that we create better things for ourselves, so that we show up for ourselves in a much better way, and so we show up for others in a much more beautiful way as well. That is the Magic. That's the magic, that’s the alchemy. Take something, and turn it into gold, right? So, you don't have to view these things in terms of magic, if that's not your thing. However, if you have the option of viewing your world as magical, viewing things as happening as a product of the way that you allow yourself to move through life, the way that the energy you are putting out into the universe, allowing that to come back to you. If you have the option of viewing your life is magical, I don't know why you would choose not to. I mean, isn't it so much fun to live in that magical world? I think so. I mean, think about it; coffee is a potion, right? People all the time put intention into their coffees. They pour it and say “this is going to wake me up” but then there are some people who are like “yeah, coffee doesn’t wake me up, i can drink three cups and go right to sleep.” It just really depends what your intention is. People will be like “but that caffeine!” but your mind is stronger than any substance. Your mind is stronger than the caffeine, so if your mind didn't have the intention of whatever then just like on some days when you decide “I'm so tired, this coffee's not even going to do it for me” and then it doesn't. So, it's really up to you. It's your choice. That's why it's so important to Choose Your Own Adventure, to choose how you show up in the world, in this day, in this minute
