So you are the world's greatest musician,

Magician,

I want to say musician,

So magician and a musician,

Magicians make magical music.

Magic is so mystical,

Magical and mysterious.

It holds a spellbound on the edges of our seats.

It leaves our mouths open in wonder,

As we wonder how that trick or illusion was done.

Faster than the blink of an eye,

Things can seem to disappear and reappear.

Not just tiny coins or peanuts under a shell,

But large motorcycles,

Even tigers and elephants.

What's there in one moment is gone the next poof,

Vanished.

People can appear to be split in half.

While you think you are seeing the upper half of their body do something over thin air,

While the lower half of their body standing next to them,

Seemingly with nothing on top of it does something else.

David Copperfield even walked through the Great Wall of China.

We thought we saw him go in on one side and out the other side within minutes.

Did he really do it?

Or was it an illusion?

David Copperfield,

Harry Houdini,

Penn and his sidekick Teller,

Doug Henning,

Some of the world's greatest magicians of all times make the unbelievable look so simple.

But as great as magical,

As fantastic,

As stupendous,

As spectacular,

As unbelievable,

And as truly genius as their magic,

Their imaginations,

And the magic and imaginations of countless other less famous magicians was and is.

It's only a speck of dust,

A tiny splinter,

Minuscule molecule compared to the magic that you create in every moment of your magical,

Amazing,

Miraculous life.

You are the world's greatest magician.

You and every other human being are capable of creating the greatest magic show ever,

In each and every moment.

With every breath you take,

Your precious life is your magic show.

Wherever you are,

Inside,

Outside,

Playing,

At home,

At school,

At church,

Wherever you are,

Is your stage.

Whomever you are with,

Is your audience,

An audience that might not even be aware of your magic,

But will walk away from you totally transformed,

Tenderly touched by your magic.

They are with you to receive the blessings of your magic.

Showtime is every moment.

The curtain on your magic act never closes,

Even in your sleep.

You can be so great,

So fantastic,

So wonderful at being a magician,

That magic happens in your dreams,

Your daydreams,

And your dreams when sleeping.

An attitude of gratitude is your magic wand.

Your magician's cape is the love flowing from your heart,

Wrapping you in ecstasy,

And swirling out and around everyone you meet.

Your tall top hat connects you to the divine presence from which you come and are.

Your bag of tricks is invisible and infinite in its contents.

You can make the world disappear entirely,

Simply by closing your eyes.

Do that for a moment.

Close your eyes and imagine you are hollow inside like the cinder of bamboo.

Or imagine that you're pure air,

Light,

And free.

Now that's magic that you can create in any moment.

You can make your mind so calm and peaceful,

Simply by closing your eyes,

Placing one or both hands on your heart,

And taking long deep inhales and long slow exhales.

Letting your breath and loving heart relax your mind.

Your breath contains a magical elixir,

A magical potion that can create magical miracles for you,

Your family,

Your friends and the whole world.

Here's how you can mix that magical potion using the power of your soul,

The invisible,

Magical soul of you.

You may not be able to see your soul just like you may not see your mind.

But they are always there,

Along with your loving heart,

Waiting for your magical command to spring into action.

And just like every famous magician,

Every successful person,

Everyone who wants to polish their craft,

Their gifts,

Their arts,

Or whatever they love to do,

One must practice to bring forth their full magical powers to achieve their personal full potential.

So let's practice making magical miracles by using your brilliant mind to command your powerful soul and incredible body to do just that.

Make magical miracles,

Magical miracles for yourself and others.

So right now I invite you to lift up your left hand and look directly into your palm and lovingly ask your soul to come right there in the palm of your hand.

You may feel it as warm,

Tingles or even cold.

You may even see it as shimmering light.

It's okay too if you don't see or feel it at first.

You will as you continue to do this.

Know that your soul is right there in the palm of your left hand.

Now lift up your right hand and look into that palm.

Keep your left hand up there.

Bring up your right hand and also look into it.

Looking into your right palm,

Lovingly ask everything else in all of creation to be there in your right palm.

Everything,

Everything visible,

And everything invisible.

All the people,

Plants,

Animals,

Oceans of the world,

All the stars in the sky,

And even all the empty space.

They have a soul too,

Just like you.

They are the mirror of your soul.

All these things are really just like you.

They only look different.

Wherever you look,

You really see you.

Now turn your palms towards each other.

Your soul in one hand,

Everything else in creation,

The mirror of your soul in the other hand,

Looking palms.

Imagine you are holding a ball of golden light right there between your palms.

Fill that golden ball of light with all the love of your heart.

As you breathe in,

Imagine your heart filling up with all the love you are.

As you breathe out,

Send this love from your heart,

Through your arms and hands into the golden ball.

You may even see or feel this golden energy.

With each breath of love you send from your heart,

That golden ball grows bigger and bigger in your palms.

Imagine this golden ball is sitting in the center of a rainbow infinity symbol.

Infinity symbol looks like a figure eight turned sideways.

See this infinity symbol getting bigger and bigger until it reaches out into the universe.

Now,

Think of one wish that you want to make.

Imagine this wish is right there in the center of this golden ball of energy.

Your wish creates magic.

Your wish can be to help you,

A friend,

A family member,

A pet,

The world,

Anything your heart is called to help.

Now imagine there's a straw going from your lips,

Right to the center of the wish and sip that wish into your whole body.

Then let your breath out with a long sigh.

Feel that wish in every cell of your body.

Now think of a second wish you want to make.

Imagine that wish is right there in the center of the golden ball of energy.

Dip your straw into the center of this wish and sip the wish into your whole body.

And again,

Let your breath out with a long sigh.

Feel that wish in every cell of your body.

That's two wishes.

Let's do one more and make it three.

Imagine your third wish is right there in the center of that golden ball of energy.

Right there in the center of that giant infinity symbol that's spiraling out into the universe as a big rainbow.

Dip your straw into the center of this wish and sip the wish into your whole body.

Again,

Now let your breath out with a long sigh and feel the wish in every cell of your body.

Now take a deep breath in and turn both of your palms out,

Fingers up and push your hands out and away from your body.

And exhale,

Sigh and offer your love to the entire world.

Stretch your fingers out and imagine there is golden energy coming out of each finger and surrounding you in golden angel wings.

Imagine you're in a cocoon of golden love.

You may even see or feel this.

Now with your arms still outstretched,

Your fingers up,

Turn your palms towards you and scoop all of this golden love right into your heart.

Take a deep breath in and notice how you feel in this moment.

You've just created magic.

If you do this every day,

You will feel wonderful and you will see the magic working wonders in your life and the lives of everyone you bless with your wishes.

You may not see these miracles right away.

But just know and have faith that they are happening little by little.

Just like little by little,

Rushing water will smooth a hard rock.

Even if you can't see the water wearing away the rock in every moment you're looking at it,

The water is magically doing its job.

And just like you can quickly and easily clear the chatter and clutter in your mind,

You can magically make the clutter in your room disappear by picking up your room.

You can create magical moments in each and every moment by paying attention and doing what's necessary right then and right there.

You have the magical power to make bad smells disappear by taking out the trash or cleaning something that's really dirty.

Brushing your teeth makes bad breath disappear.

You can make tidiness up here and disorder disappear by making your bed.

You can magically make sadness disappear by smiling.

Smiling is like a magical eraser.

Smiling can erase sadness,

Disappointment,

Frustration,

Hurry,

Worry,

Laziness,

And so much more.

Your smiling face is a magical present you can present as a gift to yourself and the world in each and every moment.

When you smile,

It makes other people smile.

That's magic.

That's magical.

People pay money to see a magician in a magic show and have that magician help them smile and laugh just for a short period of time.

The magic you create with your smiles is free and always there.

It can last forever and ever.

It leaves an impression on people like permanent ink.

You can even teach your whole body to smile.

Then your smile becomes more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

People will not only see your smile,

They will feel it radiating from every pore of your being.

Smiling is miraculous.

It takes far less effort and far less facial muscles to smile than to frown or be without a smile.

Your whole face lights up whenever you smile.

Go ahead and see.

Bring a big smile to your lips and see how your whole face feels uplifted right now.

Have you ever seen pictures of or been with saints and fully realized masters like Christ,

Buddha,

Or those masters walking the earth right now,

Or just somebody who seems to be always happy and lit up.

Their smile is ever present,

Even when they're not smiling.

You can see they've touched a happiness,

Actually a bliss deep inside themselves that's always there.

And that inner smile is always there in you too.

You just have to know to find and use it like they have.

It's also one of the great secrets of martial arts,

Tai Chi,

Qigong,

Kung Fu,

Focusing on the inner smile in your lower abdomen,

About two inches below your navel.

I even wrote a fairy tale of the heart about this called the mysterious magical button.

With practice,

You'll be able to focus on and feel the bliss of this inner smile at any time.

An inner smile instantly changes how you respond to events in your life that may be causing you to do something other than smile.

A smile can make feeling sad disappear and make happiness up here.

A smile sends a signal to every cell in your body to be strong and healthy.

That's magic.

So let's practice inner smiling.

Take several deep,

Relaxing breaths through your nose.

Just inhale deeply and exhale long.

In through your nose and out through your nose.

And then rub your palms together really fast,

Creating warmth,

Build up some heat in your hands.

And then place one palm on each side of your face and start making circles outwards.

Just massaging your face with your warm hands,

Making your jaw,

Your cheeks,

Your forehead and your skin feeling so relaxed.

Now imagine or actually see an inner smile in your stomach area just below your navel,

Just below your belly button.

This is where the inner smile lives inside your body.

It's always there.

And oh so powerful.

You can send it with your mind anywhere in your body to feel joyful and blissful.

As you see this inner smile in your stomach.

Let it smile on your lips to smile.

Keep this smile on your lips as you move the inner smile to other parts of your body.

Can you feel how bright your eyes are when your lips are smiling?

Smiles on your lips create eyes that are joyful and full of light.

They even look like big pools of colored love.

Just imagine right now your eyes are smiling.

Imagine your eyes are smiles.

Can you feel how plump and happy your cheeks are when you're smiling?

How about seeing smiles inside your cheeks right now?

Imagine your ears and your nose are big smiles to a big sound right smack dab in the middle of your forehead all the way across your forehead.

And how about a big smile for your brain?

It deserves a smile for all the work it does.

Constantly.

See this inner smile in your throat,

In your neck.

How would your voice express this inner smile,

Smile in your throat right now.

And then let out whatever sound you feel like.

See and feel this inner smile in your heart.

Imagine it's glowing so bright that it lights up and shines right through your chest.

The smile is like a light switch that turns the healthy energy of your body on.

Imagine your back and your spine are a big smile turned on its side.

Imagine and see smiles in your shoulders,

In your upper arms,

Your elbows,

In your forearms and your wrists.

Imagine there are smiles in the palms of your hands,

And on the pad of each finger and thumb.

Hold your hands out and send these smiles to everyone in the world.

Push those smiles out to everyone.

You are a world famous magician secretly in your own way,

Helping everyone in the world right now.

Your smile melts hearts.

Your smile soothes minds.

Your smile really is worth a zillion words.

Smiles are love.

Smiles are love.

Now imagine smiles in your bottom and calves,

Your upper legs.

See big smiles on the front and back of each knee.

And huge smiles running down your lower legs to see smiles in your ankles,

The inside and outside of them.

Feel and see smiles in the soles of your feet.

And on the pad of each and every toe.

Wow,

Your whole body is glowing with smiles,

Beaming with love light.

And you did this all by yourself.

You created these great feelings all by yourself without any help.

See what a powerful magician you are.

You can make yourself feel good.

You can make yourself feel great at any time.

It's your choice.

You can smile or not smile.

What do you choose?

And remember,

Anything that keeps you from smiling is not really you.

You are a magician who can laugh at any time,

Create smiles and others at any time.

You are a magician who can love yourself and others all the time.

You are a magician creating light in people's hearts and eyes.

You are a magician full of everlasting energy.

You are so beautiful.

It's time you experience yourself for who you really are a magical,

Miraculous magician.

It's time to wake up and smile.

One of the great yoga masters and teachers from India,

Paramahansa Yogananda,

In his poem,

The light of smiles said this about smiling every day.

I will like the match of smiles.

My gloom veil will disappear.

I shall behold my soul in the light of my smiles,

Hidden behind the accumulated darkness of ages.

When I find myself,

I shall race through all hearts with the torch of my soul smiles.

My heart will smile first,

Then my eyes and my face.

Every body part will shine in the light of smiles.

I will run amid the melancholy hearts and make a bonfire of all sorrows.

I am the irresistible fire of smiles.

I will fan myself with the breeze of God joy and blaze my way through the darkness of all minds.

My smiles will convey his smiles,

And whoever meets me will catch a whiff of my divine joy.

I will carry fragrant purifying torches of smiles for all hearts.

Your smile is the dance of your heart expressed on your lips.

And with the big smile,

I thank you for being here and being the world's greatest magician.

And I still want to say the world's greatest musician.

And next time,

We will continue the story.

And it actually goes into being the world's greatest magician using music to be with others.

Let's put on our magician's costume once again.

So right now,

Imagine you're putting on your cape.

It can be any color or combination of bright,

Brilliant colors.

Maybe it's full of stars,

Moons,

Suns and comets.

It's full of the love flowing from your heart.

That love wraps you in ecstasy and swirls out around the whole world.

Put your magical top hat on your head,

Connecting you with your divine presence and infinite love.

Then pick up your sparkling magic wand with an attitude of gratitude.

And reach into your magical bag of tricks and pull out a smile that lights up your whole body.

Your smile is the dance of your heart expressed in your lips.

You can use your magical lips to blow air into water through a straw and create bubbles of bliss.

That's magical.

That's magic.

You can use your lips to sing.

Singing is so magical.

Sing for yourself.

Sing to yourself.

Sing with others.

Sing for others.

Use the magic of your voice,

The power of your voice,

And the softness of your voice to comfort others when they feel bad.

That's magic.

That's your special,

Unique magic.

Use your voice to share the magic of your wisdom,

Feelings and thoughts,

And the magic of your heart and ears to listen to the wisdom,

Feelings and thoughts of others.

That's how you create magic in relationships.

Praying for the best outcome for yourself and others is magical.

And it's so magical that everyone can pray in the ways that are comfortable for them.

There is no one right way to pray or worship.

You can learn to play an instrument,

Creating magical music.

Whistle Isn't whistling magical?

Like listening to birds chirping in the trees.

It makes hearts smiles,

It chases cares and worries away.

That's magical.

Appreciate the magic uniqueness of you by smiling in the mirror every day.

Gazing into the magical light in your very own eyes every day.

Do it in the morning.

Do it at night.

Do it when you're brushing your teeth.

Imagine that then that you are looking at the magic of you.

Every time you see someone else.

Imagine them looking into the mirror and seeing the magic of their very own self.

Imagine the magic you can create by seeing everyone as love as your very own self.

Magic,

It's being true to yourself and letting and helping others be true to themselves.

It's not about doing things or being a certain way to have others like you to fit in to conform.

Magic is not about trying all sorts of things to get people to do things your way or agree with you at all the time.

It's not about do this,

Do that,

Do it this way.

Why did you do it that way?

Magic is about knowing that some things are good for you.

And some things are magic.

It's about knowing that some things that appear good,

Or fun in the moment,

Are really not so good over time.

Like what might taste really yummy and delicious to your tongue in the moment,

Isn't really that healthy for your health and your optimum working of your body.

And speaking of your body,

Bodies love the magic elixir,

The feel good feelings flowing through them when they move,

When they dance,

When they twist and turn,

And run and swim,

When they jump,

When they shout,

And when they flap and clap.

And right now,

Let's flap and clap because it's really magical.

It makes you feel magical.

And when you feel magical,

You are more magical than ever.

So right now,

Stand as straight as possible.

If you're sitting down,

I invite you to get up,

Spread your feet slightly apart with your arms resting at your sides.

Close your eyes.

And imagine there is a golden pyramid at the base of your spine.

Imagine there are golden balls of sparkling energy bouncing around in this golden pyramid.

Imagine,

See,

Feel these sparkling balls of golden energy rising up one right after another,

From the golden pyramid at the base of your spine.

Breathe and see one golden ball of energy after another,

Rising up past your navel,

Past your upper stomach,

Up through and past your heart,

Past your throat,

Past your eyes,

And right up into the top of your head,

And then right out exploding out the top of your head.

Open your eyes and relax your wrist by shaking them a few times.

Keep breathing.

And imagine your arms are angel wings of light that extend behind you and around you.

Now inhale slowly.

And as you do very slowly,

Begin to raise your angel wing arms with your wrist very relaxed out to the sides,

And all the way up to the top of your head.

And then as you exhale with sound saw,

Allow your angel wing arms with your wrist still limp to float back down to your sides.

Let's do this again,

Just very slowly.

Lift your arms up out to your sides.

Your wrists are very loose all the way up to the top of your head.

And then exhale saw as you let them float back down.

One more time.

Bring your hands slowly up on a deep inhale,

All the way to the top of your head.

And as you exhale,

Bring them down just to your shoulders.

Now bring your hands in to your heart in a prayer position.

Take a deep,

Big breath in.

And as you exhale,

Just start to clap.

Continue clapping all around you breathing,

Smiling until you feel very happy.

Clap from your head all the way down to your toes.

Clap in front of your body to the sides and even behind it.

Clap,

Breathe and smile.

And now just pause the clapping.

And we're going to spin.

Bring your feet close together.

Lift your arms up and out to your side until they're shoulder high.

Your palms are towards the sky.

Turn your head and look at your right palm and keep looking at it and then slowly spin.

Turn your feet in place to the right.

Just turn slowly.

Keep looking at your palm and breathe deeply keeping focused at the soles of your feet for stability.

Just turn four or five times slowly to begin with.

When you stop turning,

Bring your arms down resting your hands on your hips.

Turn your head forward and stare at a spot directly in front of you.

Breathe slowly and deeply and wait for any dizziness to go away.

You can do that every day and just keep adding more spins until you get to 21 spins a day.

And then clap some more.

Clap over your head behind you down by your feet.

Clap,

Clap,

Clap.

Clapping is energizing.

Clapping is magical.

Clapping loosens things up in your body,

In your mind,

In your life.

It helps you break free of patterns you are stuck in.

Just like a magician frees themselves from a straitjacket or a pair of handcuffs.

Clapping is magic.

Clapping makes sad,

Depressed,

Lonely feelings disappear.

And it makes happy,

Joyful,

Blissful feelings appear.

Happy,

Joyful,

Blissful feelings.

Those are the feelings of magic.

The magical feelings we can feel every moment with every breath.

We are on this earth to be the magical magicians we are and to share our magic with others.

So they too become the magical magician they are.

Be the magic that you are.

A magical life is a life of balance.

There are times for activity like clapping and flapping and running and playing and times for rest.

Napping is resting.

Sleeping is resting.

But there's another type of resting.

A type of resting that most people don't know about.

A type of resting that is very,

Very magical.

It doesn't take as long as sleeping.

It's even shorter than a nap.

And it's very powerful.

It's called pausing.

And while quite simple to learn,

It's not so simple to do,

Because it's easy to forget.

Are you ready to learn?

Remember,

And most of all,

Practice often.

The magic of pausing is practice between doing other things.

Practice pausing after doing one thing,

And before starting another.

It's like the filling of a sandwich,

The middle.

Pause after eating.

Pause after exercising.

Pause after playing.

You can also do this the very first thing in the morning when you wake up.

It's a pause after the long pause of sleeping.

You can then do it before you go to sleep before the long pause of sleeping.

The pause simply bring your hands to your heart area in the center of your chest,

Right next to your physical heart,

One hand on top of the other.

And focus your mind right there at your heart.

Feel your heartbeat.

Say out loud or silently to yourself,

Thank you heart.

And on the next breath in,

Imagine you are breathing in love.

And silently say to yourself,

I am love.

On the next breath out.

Imagine you are breathing out magic and say to yourself,

I am magic.

I am a magical being of love.

And you can continue this for several minutes or until you feel really loved and magical.

Then say,

Thank you heart.

Listen to your heart.

Use your magical mind to implement the magical wisdom of your heart.

Use the magical energy generated by pausing by resting to create more magic in the world.

Your heart can help you with things in your daily life.

You can ask your heart a question and listen and feel for its answer.

We can practice this right now.

Put your hands on your heart.

Feel your heart.

And then ask is my name and then put your name in there.

Is my name Billy?

Is my name Jolene?

And as you say that,

See what it feels like in your heart.

Because that's a true statement.

That is your name.

Once you know what that feels like,

With your hands on your heart,

Ask the same thing with someone else's name.

Someone you don't even know just make up a name and ask is my name and see what that feels like in your body.

That way you can learn to see what your heart's telling you what feels like a yes and what feels like a no.

Use the magical energy generated by pausing,

By resting,

By listening to your heart to create more magic in the world.

Find the magic spark of love everywhere in everything and in everyone.

Look beyond the apparent.

Find the magic.

The rainbow's beauty lies not only in its spectacularly brilliant colors,

But in the sky against which it is set.

See everyone's rainbow amidst the sky of their lives.

We're all here to help one another be magical.

Remember,

You are the world's greatest magician.

Your precious life is your magic show.

Showtime is every moment.

Wherever you are,

Inside,

Outside,

Playing,

At home,

At school,

Wherever you are,

Is your stage.

Whomever you are with is your audience.

They are with you to receive the blessings of your magic.

The curtain on your magic show never closes,

Even in your sleep.

Your magician's cape is the love flowing from your heart,

Wrapping you in ecstasy and swirling out and around everyone you meet.

Your tall top hat connects you to the divine presence from which you come and are.

Your bag of tricks is invisible and infinite in its contents.

That sparkling,

Shining magic wand of yours is your attitude of gratitude.

The ABCs of your magic are your attitude creates your behaviors and your behaviors create a chain reaction.

A,

C,

Attitude,

Chain reaction.

When your attitude is magical,

Blissful,
