Magic by Hannah Baiardi
Welcome to Magic. It all started with Tara Brach’s book, Radical Acceptance, that set a journey into motion. Through extensive reading and self-practice, I started to soften my heart space to radical surrender, love and acceptance in all areas of my life. Magic would be ‘The World’ card in Tarot: coming full circle. From learning life lessons and being brave to shifting perspectives and taking chances, Magic stirred something deep within me. Laden with esoteric and mystical themes, Magic chronicles a journey of self-discovery, rooted in compassion, gratitude and exploration. The experience of writing the music for Magic was mystical, enchanting and other-worldly. It grabbed a hold of me, wrote me and in doing so, released me.
