Dion Fortune defined magic as "the art of changing consciousness [energy] at will." Today, can you consciously choose to change your energy in the moment? Maybe you are running late and feel the mounting anxiety. Can you consciously shake your hands and release anxiety? What if there is a car trying to get into your lane? Instead of getting angry or feeling defensive, why not slow down a little, smile, and let the car squeeze in?

These small acts can literally change our personal energy at will.The more we practice changing our energy, the easier it gets. Psychologist Rick Hanson believes we can "hardwire happiness" by practicing feeling happy. When something good happens or you see something nice, place all your attention on the situation. Smile and breathe in the happiness. Feel that tingling up your spine? That is the feeling of you changing your energy at will.
