What is Real?

I have learned that our minds are so powerful that what they perceive is what we think is real. I could just leave it at that. And say just contemplate that. If you don’t like the perceptions you are caring around with you then you will have to have a deeper emotional charge to see beyond what you are holding on to.

I’m reading this book Anti Cancer.  The author does a profile of the cancer prone person. One of the main things is those who are caring around wounds they have not been able to let go of or heal. That is many of us. So this is the time, this is the place to really let it go. What matters and what is hogging space in your heart and mind? What needs to be cleared out to let the light in? If you look deeply into those scars you will see that that person did what they did because it was the best they knew how to do at that time. It was self-preservation. It was trying to get some of the innocence they saw in you.

Blessing someone goes a far way to allowing it to transform. The meditation for transformation where you say Wahe Guru 40 times clears out anything that is not truly serving your ecstatic state. You deserve ecstasy so do something to serve it.

If you want more details of this meditation connect with me. Love and may you really go for what feeds you and let go of that which steals your life force.

No no’s and their antidotes

The no no’s and their antidotes.

Great Relationships are based on Trust, Honor, and seeing the soul of each other. Feed those and repeat  over and over. Oh please bring a big dose of humor it can save you from battle fatigue.  Meaning you can’t take yourself or the situation to seriously….ever.

I am going to give you the don’ts and then the fixes, the things you want to fixate and feed on. We often get attached to being right and defending our stance so here are my things to avoid unless you are ready to destroy your relationship. Don’t think any of these will be new to you just look at them see which ones you buy into and then really meditate on the flip side of each one. Each weakness is the flip side of our biggest greatness. What we focus on and feed matters. Feed daily on the Do’s The don’ts will dissolve.

Ten no no’s and 10 yes yes’s

  1. Be attached to being right at all costs.
  2. Be unwilling to talk about things
  3. Clam up
  4. Be a bitch or rager
  5. Be a Blamer
  6. Keep score of your partners mess up’s and feed them back on a regular basis
  7. When stressed  act out (in your favorite manner there are many)
  8. Act irrationally on a regular basis
  9. Pit  (fill in the blank) against your partner by telling them about your fights
  10. Speak badly about your partner in public with or without them being present.

Most people know these are recipes for disaster yet we fall into these patterns more often than we care to admit. Then it becomes a pissing contest about who is being worse or more wronged. The great news is we can stop any bad behavior . We can create a red light and then have a positive action to replace it with.

Harmony is priceless and everyone wants to live in it we often don’t feel comfortable being there. We often equate Harmony with boredom and lack of being present. It is none of these. It is vastly being presence and takes some work to stay there but much less work than digging yourself out of the “dog house “ pit.

There are things I call interrupters: Things that break the focus when we are on a tear, a rage, a bitch a whatever. They give us back our real selves. The one we want to be with. Here is one to do instead of clawing eyes out.

Claw Dance

Two steps for a radiant, charismatic energy

Round up and tighten fingers in long clawed-like hands.

Come up tall on your toes swinging the arms out to the sides and up over the head in a big arc motion.  Breath in on the way up while saying “WHO”. Next, squat down while the arms are swinging downward in a big arc. Exhale saying “LA” on the way down. Keep repeating these 2 steps.

1-2 minutes

Gift of doing this

Strengthens thighs and increases energy. Replenishes your energy field and expands awareness. Helps clears the mind when facing challenges.

Use this breath in moments when you need to reclaim yourself from a difficult

situation, a frustrating moment, or when really angry.

Dragon breath will bring expansion.

Inhale with eyes closed in four equal parts through the nose or mouth, then exhale by extending your tongue out as far as possible and opening your eyes as wide open as you can. Share this with your children. Look at yourself in the mirror when doing this, and you will get another benefit: taking yourself lightly it is a very funny sight.  Do it in the middle of a fight see what happens. Focus Shifts, negative interlock breaks. Try it and see.

Benefits: here are your ten Great embracers.

  1. 1. Be Flexible
  2. 2. Practice Communicating, Practice listening whether you feel like it or not.
  3. 3. Open up. Don’t dump just trust.
  4. 4. Relate to the wisdom in yourself and your partner
  5. 5. Be the Claimer: Recite to yourself the things you love about your partner
  6. 6. Forgive yourself and your partner. Allow the possibilities of change for the better
  7. 7. When Stressed know what you need. Make a list when you are not stressed. Exercise, meditate, take a bath, hugs etc. eating not on the list.
  8. 8. Practice calm understanding everyone can fall apart it’s not sexy
  9. 9. Don’t share your fights with others unless they help you see how you contributed
  10. 10. Uplift your partner by how you speak to, with and about him/her.

Sounds easy right and I know sometimes it is not. We get frustrated. That’s why committed relationships are looked at as one of the most challenging paths. They are great at changing us make the change be one of wisdom, upliftment, vastness . Who wants anything less. It takes day to day moment to moment practice but remember why you fell in love with this person. You SAW them see them again, you will want to do these things.

Have you lost it?

Have you lost your mind yet? If not why not? These minds that we think we can think with are really ours to give away, to give up, to give in, to surrender so we can live from a much deeper place. The place that allows us to see beneath the agreed upon seeing. The knowing that allows us to know beyond time and space. The Grace that allows us to say yes to what is.

Today my beloved partner got to the airport to go visit his father and spent the day waiting for a plane to be fixed in Atlanta, then to be fixed again in Albuquerque and finally they were told it would leave at 3am tomorrow, then that it would leave at 7amtomorrow and they were given discount vouchers for a hotel near the airport. He could have wined and complained about the misery of the situation but he accepted it. he took it in stride. Think of all the things that are that we fight against. Some you are thinking there are things that  need to be fought against. I agree but first we must, yes must totally accept them or we cannot see clearly a way to shift them. It is the acceptance of what is that allows the shift not the butting up against it.

Martin Luther King Studied Gandhi and the peace movement before he even knew what he was going to do with it. He just knew it was the right way to do things. You can say yes and look what that got him and Gandhi. It got them much. It got them immortality. It got them knowing that this was the way to break down barriers, this was the way to release the separation, this was the way of things to come. They needed to be part of what could be. They needed to be part of a bigger dream. We all need to dream.

When we stop dreaming big dreams. When we stop knowing we are the one that can create change. When we stop seeing better ways to uplift and help each other. That is the sad day not having dreams that are vast in nature. Keep your dreams expansive. Keep your heart expansive. Hold the entire Universe within yourself and be held by the Universe.

How do you do this best? Let us share how we do this. I use my yoga mat by my desk to call me away so I can clear my head and feel my heart it beats very fast upside down and that is my favorite position. I have chanting music that I love ( and it changes) playing so I can let it impregnate me. I laugh allot and roller blade hills to feel the space in my brain mix with chants I do and people I get to meet in the neighborhood. I set myself for the day and the life by meditating first thing each day and last thing each day. I hold each of you in my heart of heart and feel you, I bow to your greatness and your dreams may the grow vast may they all serve each other.

What price Joy?

It’s funny that sometimes we work so hard and little seems to come of it and then pop. Things arise from nowhere. Things you never though of come and things that you have been pushing up the hill must be laid to rest.

I have found in my life and observing those around me, that there truly are seasons. When we miss the internal changing of the leaves or the guard we miss great chances.

Sometimes we get so fixated on what needs to be done or happen or or or that we loose the opportunity that shows up unexpectedly, spontaneously.

I want to share something with you that I hope you will incorporate into your life to clear the spiderwebs from your brain and allow JOY. Joy is a big word. It means having fun with what is. Finding the fun where it does not seem to reside.

I had a recent experience that really work me up. This last year I have worked harder than I can remember. I have “Lots to show for it ” I’m also tired and ready to play. To find the play of the infinite so I was sent, express mail a great playmate who wants to take me places. To give me space to relax and be so I can get what is truly next, so I can be more joyously effective. This is what I needed what to you need to be in JOY?

Here is somethings I hope will help clear your hear and heart so you can be open to allowing the majic in. To allow what wants to dance with you in the area or areas you have closed shop.

Three Part Forward Bend

The brain fountain of youth

Stand with legs wide open. The stiffer you feel, the wider you should spread the legs.

Bend over and place the fingertips on the floor right under the shoulders. Bend the knees if necessary. When inhaling, lift trunk and head parallel to the floor. Exhale in three-parts, lowering head and trunk towards the floor in three equal parts.

1-2 minutes

Gift

This pumping motion activates the spinal fluid up and down the spine and through the brain. Allows your legs and spine to stretch. The enhanced breath helps release overwhelming feelings.

The alchemy of fear and how to win

Do you know how to turn your biggest pain into pleassure? No without
drugs, alcohol, sex or your favorite devirsional high. How can that
be done?

Do you really want to know? Interesting isn’t it we want to believe
that majicians can turn lead into gold but we don’t hold ourselves
to the same Gold standards.

Okay come with me on this little journey. Are you willing to
turn your trash into treasures? If yes you stay if no you go

Have you heard that the truth is simple? Me too and yet it seems the
farthest thing from easy so often. Well this truth is easy and yet
you must do it for it to work.

I want you close your eyes yes only after reading the directions

Close your eyes. On your own Imax screen I want you to see your
biggest fear, make it so big it does not fit in the Universe. See it
in all it’s horrific aspects, see the color, feel the terror it
strikes in you, notice what part of your body this feeling overtakes
and now I want you to laugh at it. Yes laugh loudly, fakely, just
laugh and keep laughing for 3-5 minutes straight. Laugh loudly,
let the laugh get bigger and wilder than the fear. Keep Laughing
Allow the laughter to expand. What will happen you tell me and I
will know if you have done it by your answer.

Let me know what happened to your fear. Yes that big, huge thing.

I will tell you fear wants to be taken seriously. It owns you and
when you dishonor it by laughing it runs away in shame. Will this
solve all your difficult situations in life? No BUT it will give you
clarity.

When you are clear you can see other solutions to your challenge.
When you are clear you are not paralized, You can act. You can use
your fear as fodder. For your biggest weakness is just the flip side
of your biggest strength.

Apply this to all fear in your life. Courage is the application
of your heart to a situation. Fear closes us down. Laughter opens
us up. Want up laugh even when you don’t want to.

Blessings
