A Letter From the Editor

So quick story time. The other day I was sitting in the quiet zone of the train For those of you who don’t know, the quiet zone is the upper level of the trains that run during rush hour. The purpose of this is so that people can have some quiet on their way into work or on the way home, to sleep, do work or just have some silence before and after a busy day I was sitting in this area on my way home when a man came running onto the train carrying a large bag.

He seemed quite flustered as he was looking for a place to sit, breathing heavily as he clumsily shoved his bag under the chair and finally settled into a seat next to a couple. He listened to the conductor make the safety announcements and the various stops as the train began to chug it’s way out of the station. A look of confusion slowly appeared on his face and he turned to the couple, very loudly asking if this train was heading in the correct direction of his desired location. They kindly informed him that he was going in the right direction however he was on the express train and this train would be passing his stop. It quickly became apparent that he was new to traveling by train and was definitely not aware of the concept of the quiet zone.

To cut the story short, the man proceeded to have a very polite, lengthy, pleasant, but very disruptive interaction with the couple and by extension veryone else on the top floor of the car I watched, becoming slightly more invested than I care to admit in whether or not this man was going to make it to his destination.

After he left the train I couldn’t help but think about how much time I had spent observing this scenario take place. It felt like I was watching a sitcom or something. There was no real way for me to know what happened and I realized how many possible outcomes to his story there could be. From the location he was heading to and the giant bag he was lugging around to the phone call he took with what seemed to be a skydiving company, the questions and possibilities were endless.

It was this pondering that led me to think about how many things have to happen for you to have the life or experiences you have everyday. In my opinion, it truly is kind of magical. Every moment is another point in your story and your imagination is the limit to what the outcome is.

With that, I encourage you to stop for a moment and watch the environment around you and imagine you are looking at a movie. Take a moment to appreciate the messy room that has been lived in or the relaxing view of the lake. Then imagine what you would want to happen next in the movie and start taking the steps as the main character to achieve those. Consider that all the events that happen “unexpectedly” are just furthering the plot in your personal, magical, story.

With love and light, aria

THE MAGIC OF CRYSTALS

BY ANDREA SIPCIC

WE ARE AWARE THAT CRYSTALS HAVE HEALING PROPERTIES AND ABILITIES BUT SOME MAY ASK HOW? HOW CAN THESE FOSSILIZED MINERALS OR “ROCKS” BE CAPABLE OF HEALING AND BALANCING PEOPLE AND ACTUALLY REMOVE UNWANTED ENERGIES? WHILE THERE MAY NOT BE HARD SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE OF THIS SO-CALLED MAGIC, THERE IS A THEORY AS TO HOW THEY COULD HELP.

CRYSTALS HAVE THEIR OWN VIBRATION AND FREQUENCY WHICH IS A RESULT OF THEIR MOLECULAR COMPOSITION. THEIR ENERGIES ACT LIKE A MAGNET BY ABSORBING LOW ENERGIES AND HARNESSING NEW, UPLIFTING ONES.

THEY ARE NATURALLY EXTRACTED AND HARNESS THE ENERGIES OF THE SUN, MOON AND OCEANS. CRYSTALS VIBRATE AT THE SAME PITCH AS HUMANS’ HIGHER SELVES AND THEY MAXIMIZE THE HEALING ABILITIES WE ALREADY HAVE. THAT’S WHY WHEN YOU PLACE A CRYSTAL OVER THE BODY, IT’S COMFORTING, YOU FEEL AT EASE AND ARE ABLE TO CONNECT BETTER WITHIN. THE CRYSTAL INTERACTS WITH THE BODY’S CHAKRAS AND PROMOTES PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL BEING AND CLEANSING.

SO IF THE QUESTION EVER ARISES, “DO THEY REALLY WORK?” THE SIMPLEST FIRST-HAND WAY TO VERIFY IS TO TRY FOR YOURSELF - TAKE A DEEP BREATH, QUIET YOUR MIND AND TAKE A CLEANSED CRYSTAL TO THE BODY. HOW DO YOU FEEL?

THE MAGIC OF MINDFULNESS: USING MEDITATION AS A WAND FOR INNER CHANGE

By: Chris Lee

In a world where chaos often reigns and the demands of daily life seem never-ending, the pursuit of inner peace and personal transformation can feel like an elusive dream. Yet, hidden within the folds of our conscious mind, there lies a potent magic waiting to be harnessed — the magic of mindfulness and meditation. This ancient practice invites us on an adventure - a spiritual journey into self-awareness.

The Esoteric Art of Mindfulness

Imagine a magician standing in front of an audience, completely focused on their craft. In that moment, the outside world fades away, and their entire “being” is directed towards the magic that they aim to create.

This is exactly how mindfulness invites us to become the magician of our own lives. It's the act of paying attention to our thoughts, our emotions, and sensations as they arise, and in doing so, gaining mastery over our inner world.

Mindfulness, at its core, is a state of heightened awareness in which we become fully present in the present moment. It's the act of tuning into the here and now, without judgment or distraction. Rooted in ancient Buddhist wisdom, mindfulness is now widely used by those looking for inner balance and mental clarity in everyday life.

The Magic of Meditation

Just as a wizard might retreat to a quiet chamber to conjure spells, we retreat into the sanctuary of our minds to perform the magical act of meditation. Through meditation, we learn to quiet the constant chatter of the mind, much like a sorcerer silencing the clamor of the outside world to tap into their magical abilities.

In the hush of our bustling minds, there exists a sacred space, a realm untainted by the chaos of the external world. It is here, in the tranquil sanctuary of meditation, that we embark on a voyage into the boundless universe of our consciousness.

Creating Positive Shifts

The real magic of mindfulness and meditation is their ability to ignite positive shifts within us. Like spells that transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, these practices have the power to transmute our inner landscape, replacing negativity with positivity, and chaos with calm.

When we approach life with mindfulness, we gain a new perspective on our past experiences. We become the observer of our thoughts and feelings - rather than slaves to them. A positive shift in

perspective encourages us to respond to life's challenges with the confidence of a skilled alchemist confronting adversity with grace and composure, knowing that they can transform negative thoughts into positive expectations.

But Wait! There’s More Magic!

Meditation acts as a bridge between our conscious and subconscious minds, allowing us to explore the depths of our psyche. Just as a wizard delves deep into ancient esoteric writings seeking hidden knowledge, we access the wisdom within ourselves. This wisdom can guide us in making choices that align with our true desires and aspirations.

In the magical journey of life, mindfulness and meditation serve as our trusty magic wands, enabling us to transform ourselves and our world. These are the tools that connect us to the infinite reserves of wisdom within, helping us navigate the complexities of life with courage and poise.

As we embrace the magic of mindfulness and meditation, we discover that the power to change and grow has always resided within us. Like skilled magicians, we learn to conjure a reality that aligns with our deepest desires, creating a life that is truly enchanting.

The Magic of You

By Andrea Sipcic

Why is it that we so commonly consider many things of nature and animals to be so magical and miraculous? The amazing transformation of a caterpillar to a butterfly. The way hills and mountains naturally form to such an imperfectly perfect cluster of beauty. The way a dog knows and understands things about their human without speaking. The way wild animals and birds know how to live, survive and communicate with each other so instinctively and without words. These are no doubt beautiful miracles and magic but the real question is, why don’t we always see that magic in ourselves?

As we often look for magic and miracles outside of ourselves and often from and through others, we tend to forget the magic that lies within ourselves and that we are. As a perhaps much needed reminder of how miraculous and unique you are, consider prompting yourself through thought or journaling all the ways you have been magical or created/co-created something magical. Consider the following prompts and examples as some possibilities:

What is something beautiful you saw today?

What is something that happened that you never thought would?

What was an unexpected moment that led to a positive outcome?

What was a decision or change you made that brought greatness to you or your life?
