RELEASING

poking around for good women's blogs i found: Beauty, Brains & Experience. she did an exercize after reading a book called "open your mind to recieve" that i found very fun and cool!

So here’s what Dr. Kate and I did. We wrote a list of all the garbage in our heads: resentments, hurtful statements, old relationships, perfectionistic ideas and limiting beliefs. Then, we took our lists to the beach, talked about some of the doo doo we were ready to trash; laughed, yelled, told animated stories and felt free. I put one match in the ground for each thing listed (you can see, I had a lot of gunk to clean out). After I was finished, I lit the mother up (literally and literally). That’s right, I set the whole damn thing on fire. Up in flames. Old news. Can’t put it back together. Phew, I feel good. By the way, before I left, I tore up my list and threw it in the trash at the dog beach, right along with the dog doo doo where it belongs.

FUTURE MEETING THE PAST

lessons from soma this morning:

to put it all a little bit in perspective of exactly how big we are in the universe.

FUTURE MEETING THE PAST. these are the words  Posted By: StClair
Date: Friday, 30 June 2006, 11:38 p.m.:

"If pure consciousness is now meeting us in the moment in magical ways where it gives us precisely what we are giving out, then it can also be used to feed forgiveness and healing to every time line that merges into this moment. Everything in the outer world and universe is a mirror of the astral levels that exist in the Collective of Mankind's mind down to individual levels of each of us in a fractal way..."

THE TAO

I am taking a tao moment to reflect:

Water is used as a representation of Tao because water always seeks the path of least resistance. It does not compete; it simply spiders out, finds the easiest path and follows it, yet there is nothing stronger. Water will carve through rocks, run around steel or anything which resists it. And it does so by simply rising or using gravity.

Rising and using gravity.

Mercury is going retrograde

July 4 th it goes retro

I can already feel the effects of it.

About blogging and fashion

Video

while the makeup artist was putting on my makeup, she shared with me her opinion about fashion and blogging. it was really an amazing conversation to hear what she had to say, since she had been working in the industry for a very long time, and had seen the evolution it has taken. she is totally for the technology--which is rare to find.

LOVE IS NOT GEOGRAPHICAL

soma says to me this morning, LOVE IS NOT GEOGRAPHICAL. love is in your heart. and when you can stay in your heart, keeping it open, and staying centered, then you dont have to GO to a center to find love, you ARE THE CENTER. then where ever you are, when ever you are, you are in the right place. you are then always where you are supposed to be: in your CENTER.

love is not geographical--bodies are geographical, i say to him.

A SAYING

My yogi one day said when I was complaining about money,

 

"I have always been rich & I shall never be poor."

 

He said you didn't have to have a lot of money to be rich.

Koan Float

Today i could not take my train and so i took instead soma's advice and went to the Koan Float tank. Anyone from germany has ever floated? It's truely amazing experience. Rejuvinating. Well worth every minute. Now i am reading in THE BOOK OF FLOATING by michael hutchison. "To be human is to explore and make use of altered states of consciousness. One of the most satisfactory and popular methods of altering consciousness is to restrict. . .The operation of one or more of their senses. . . To put themselves into a state of sensory deprivation."
now i know why it's so important to meditate.
"simply stated, when we shut out or restrict environmental stimuli, we become more aware of those things that are still available to us. In this case, after we have shut out light, sound, tactile sensations, gravity, other people, and movement, what is left is our Self: the physical reality of our skeletal muscles, our internal systems, our brains; and the non physical reality of our thoughts, emotions, intuitions, mental images. Our awareness of there realities is of a subtlery and intensity simply not possible when our senses are directed outward, responding to external events... William blake described the process as "cleansing the doors of perception." Zen masters talk about seeing the world with a "beginners mind." Jesus spoke of the need to see with the fresh perceptions of a child. psychologists have called it "deautomatization"" (my phone could not spell that one!)
i really want to find a place to float in paris! It really helps me!
