If what I know about contrast is true, then ultimately there is nothing right or wrong about it. And in fact, it's all beautiful, right?

And it did give me a sense of greater understanding

where I sit and maybe honestly feel a bit empowered

or more confident in owning what I feel.

Now let the magic begin.

Hello and Jaima, and Naomi, it's Raquel, and thank you.

Thank you for tuning into the show, Your Own Magic, which is a soul expanding and mind altering podcast experience.

At least it's my intention for whoever this podcast speaks to.

And we cover a variety of topics, sometimes spiritually focused and sometimes with a spiritual

undertone as we integrate the mystical and grounding perspectives that happen to soothe the spirit.

Though our spirit of course is soothed already, so I guess more so soothe the mind this human wild mind to tune into the soul the spirit to remember and in times when we might forget, perhaps we feel off in some way sad or unmotivated or stuck experiencing whatever a form of contrast we're experiencing, which is all not only very natural,

a natural part of the human experience, but sometimes very necessary for our growth and opening up our awareness.

And in these moments what gives me strength personally these moments of contrast

is having a deep sense of compassion for myself and a deeper understanding of how my personal individual human mind and human vessel operates and perceives the world.

When it comes to contrast or maybe what feels like a dark period in our world.

It's helpful to of course turn to soul soothing or you know spiritual sources to help us remember and

tune in but it's also important to understand how our mind, our individual minds are wired.

So we can make sense and have both a cerebral context and also a spiritual insight of the experience

simultaneously because we're human we're human and we're experiencing this human experience which is so wildly colorful that it only helps to take care of our mental health, our physical health, and also our

spiritual health and not just solely be focused on one of the three, which I've

definitely gone down that route where I'm only focused on my mental health

because it was in a severe place I was only focused on my mental health because it was in a severe place.
