what is magic medicine?

I’ve been thinking for a while now that every once in a while I should post a bit about what I mean by Magic Medicine.
Originally it was another word for art-making, but it’s evolving. It’s always been about using daily experiences as inspiration for art. Now it’s becoming more grounded in the idea of every experience as an opportunity for illumination.
By paying attention to what is happening in our lives, what choices we’re making, our relationships, and how we are in the world, we inch towards self realization. As we do, creative energy is activated. We live more fully as we shed whatever has been keeping us disconnected, yet always yearning for our truest selves.
As we embrace ourselves and work through the muck, it’s easier and easier to tap into what inspires and brings us joy.
Art is life. Life is art.
May the Magic Medicine of your day bring you closer to your true self.
