The voice of Harry Potter

I heard part of a radio interview today with Jim Dale, the actor who has recorded the Harry Potter audio books. Jim is an award winning actor and has also recorded such classics as Peter Pan and the Beatrix Potter books.

Diane Rehm of NPR was interviewing him as I drove along in my car, and at one point she asked him to do the voices of Peter Pan, and Wendy. He spoke about his intentions in conveying the essence and the characteristics and the relationships of the characters he is 'speaking for'. And then he did 'his' Peter and 'his' Wendy voices. They were so amazing in conjuring up the characters, as is his performance in the Harry Potter audio books. I loved hearing him demonstrate his talent as I listened to the nuances of difference in the various characters' voices.

And I thought---it's all about intention. Of course! It's all about intention!! He gets very clear about what he is intending to convey about each character, and then he is so good at aligning his personal and vocal vibrations, that what comes out of his mouth is THE CHARACTER. Not Jim Dale speaking as, or for, the character. No. THE CHARACTER. The very essence that is Peter, or Wendy, or Harry, or Hermione.

Very cool. And very instructive for us who are working with intentionality, attraction, vibration, manifestation.

• Get crystal clear in your intention. WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU WANT?
• Align your vibration with what you want. PERFECTLY ALIGNED, NO WIGGLE ROOM.
• Allow your energy to flow into what you want as if YOU ARE IT ALREADY

Follow these steps and you will knock 'em dead, just as Jim Dale does, with what you manifest.

Above all have fun! You know, Jim decided to be an actor at age nine, when he was in the audience in a large theater and saw a clown on stage stagger toward the edge of the stage, stumble, and disappear into the pit. As the audience roared with laughter, young Jim decided then and there, that there could be nothing better than making 2000 people laugh! And that's what he set his sights on. He trained in dance, movement, acting, etc. but he had already set his intention and never wavered from it. Powerful stuff!

So, go have fun. Find your Everyday Joy. Enjoy the journey though time and space as you approach the object of your intentions. This is the engine that drives all the rest toward attracting more and more and more of what you want.

Love and peace,
Jan

More about THE SECRET

I want to share a conversation I had with my sixteen year old son yesterday. I asked him what he was reading these days and he told me that he was reading two books (just like Mom, who always has more than one book going at a time!). He told me that he's reading a Tom Clancy novel, and also, The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne. I asked him how he was enjoying The Secret and he told me that he's reading it with his friend, Jacob and that they like it.

A few weeks ago he shared with me that Jacob was struggling emotionally---his dad passed away about a year and a half ago. My son was trying to be supportive of his friend, and since he had been exposed ad nauseum to the movie, The Secret as it played almost non-stop in our home for months on end, he had asked my husband to by him the book to share with Jacob. All the time the movie was playing at home, my son was pretty resistant to sitting down and watching it with us, but you know how osmosis works, right? LOL

The coolest thing he said is that he and Jacob kept laughing as they read the book together. "Why are you laughing so much?" I asked. "Because it's all true!" he said.

We talked about the fact that he and Jacob apparently didn't need to work hard to open their minds to the ideas and concepts in The Secret, they were ready for its powerful message. Now THAT'S cool!

I bought him the dvd of The Secret to share with his friends and he is now carrying a 'gratitude rock' in his pocket.

It makes this all the more poignant to know that my son is struggling with his own deep emotional issues as he supports his friend. What a kid!

Wishing you a day full of EVERYDAY JOY!

Jan's online course will be available in October, 2007

I'm very excited about this! I am one of a group of 15 amazing individuals who are being coached by Robert Evans. Robert has been involved in creating and marketing online projects and courses for such well respected spiritual teachers as Neal Donald Walsch who wrote the Conversations with God books, and the late Lynn Grabhorn who wrote Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting! And he is mentoring this group to create our own online courses.

Over the next 3 months I will be working to develop my own interactive online course: Transform With WHAT IF. This is such an exciting opportunity to teach what I am passionate about and to help those who are looking for new spiritual information, new knowledge, and higher consciousness which will enhance their life experience and their ability to attract more of what they really, really want. And I love the idea of being able to reach so many more people with this course than I could ever do one-on-one!

My project will offer lots of exciting resources, including books---the first one, WHAT IF...? Questions To Transform Your Life, is available and can be purchased at http://www.everydayjoy.com/), and the online course will have audios, flash movies, an online journal...and much more.

If you would like to receive updates from me, and discounts when the course becomes available, go to http://www.projectmessengers.com/ and scroll down to my name Janice Masters (I'm #10), click on Details and sign up to receive updates. See you there!

Thanks!
