The Power of the Chant?

I just ran a red light, right in front of a police car.  But first I ran out of chopsticks. I’d driven to the Asian market on Malabar Road for rice paper and chopsticks. In the car on the way home, I’m listening to Shiva chants and chanting along. I notice the traffic light ahead of me has been yellow a long while.  Bad planning on my part, mid-chant I sail through the red light, right past a police car facing me on the driver’s side.  I kept driving, slowly, expecting him to make a u-turn and ticket me. He did not. Did the power of the chant make me invisible? Or was I just so focused on feeling good that I didn’t have time to have a resistant thought? I’ll ponder that while I eat my salad with chopsticks.

The dryer won’t start – I have to close the door or not move forward.

The dryer won’t start.  Drat. I did laundry this morning and now the dryer won’t start. I checked all the connections.  I checked the fuse box. My thoughts ran to “I just had to replace the washer at my rental. ” I knew that didn’t have to be my experience. As Yinnie my Mini Cow rubbed my left leg,  I glanced down. I noticed the dryer door was not completely shut.  I shut it and the dryer started. What was my lesson here? That I can be completely connected, all systems go but unless I “close the door,” I can’t move forward.  My experience is if the past is not resolved, then I can expect that when things are going very well, it can all be yanked out from under me.  That’s why I get it all resolved when I’m down in the muck of it and have far less to lose.  That way I don’t spend my life looking over my shoulder and waiting for the axe to fall when things are going well.  That way the only momentum I have to be concerned with is forward momentum.  I contemplated the “close the door” metaphor and realized there are a few things I could close the door on, so I spent this early morning considering just how I might do that.

3:00 a.m. Musings

Another three a.m. and I’m awake in the quiet, trying to wind down from getting the mag to press and chilling after a shakti-filled day. After midnight yoga and meditation, I felt filled with glowing goodness, so I moved furniture to ground myself. I can’t tell if it’s working. If anyone else was awake, I’ll be ready to play! Hoping to doze before sunrise, 3:00a.m. is a time when thoughts wander through, such as: hmmm, melatonin tonight? Or valerian root? Or Calm’s Forte? Or – the big guns- benadryl? I love staying up for this wonderful wild life, sleep is tough to schedule in… Now for a few days off to laze around and get to the beach. Low tide today about 1:30pm, high tide about 7am and 8:30pm. Full moon is Tuesday. Can it get any better than this?

I Love

To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
Kahlil Gibran

HTML code in the aura? I love getting new tools.

In a reading this morning, I experienced a new symbol in someone’s aura. Yes, I can “see” the aura over the phone, since the screen upon which appears is my mind’s eye. At times there will be a movie playing on a filmstrip under the main screen, within the energy field itself. I wrote about it in detail at How One Clairvoyant Sees The World.  We had just finished the  Ho’oponopono, a Hawaiian Healing Process . She felt unresolved with an ex, even though we’d spent some time doing the process on him. I’d been working on my websites and was tickled to see html code within the aura. I’d not experienced that before. In the code, it was spelled out exactly what was going on behind the scenes. I didn’t have to look for suppressed anger in the aura, I could see it in the html code.  I wondered if it’d be as simple as inserting the code (on the screen of my mind’s eye) to turn it off after it’d been turned on.  As soon as I thought that, my caller said she felt a rush of love and forgiveness flow through her heart for her ex. I was tickled it had been that easy. It had never occurred to me to ask or try that. This life is like living in the best sci-fi adventure EVER.

Be in the Now or enjoy it later and ever after?

I videotaped a performance last night and since I was hand holding the camera, I paid much attention to the composition. My focus was keeping everyone in the frame and keeping the camera level and steady.  Not easy to do when music is playing and my body wants to move with it.  It was a bit of a yoga to keep my body still but I’d given myself the job to tape the gig.  Sometimes it’s a hard choice between attending something and throwing myself into the Now, or taking notes or video or photos to enjoy later and to share.   I think everyone should have photos and video of themselves in creative action, so I’m always glad to take them for friends.  So it’s most often after the gig, when I’m home reviewing the videos, that I can enjoy the performance. It’s always been that way with speakers as well.  Do I sit and just listen and take in their message, or do I take notes and interview for my reader?  I decided that one several years ago and wrote about it here Shall I experience this experience or record it to share with others?  Ah, I should learn to do both!

When I realize I do it, I work on it

A friend remarked that I’d been critical with them until recently. They asked why I stopped.  I stopped because once they pointed it out to me, I realized what I was doing and that wasn’t who I wanted to be.  I want my friends to call me out when I’m saying or doing something they know I do not truly intend.  It helps me keep it real.
