Spend less time figuring out how get something that isn’t coming easily, and spend more time doing whatever it takes to find the better feeling thought. Discover fun things to do to make you release resistance. Have more fun doing things that I’d do if the money didn’t matter.
I like the 6:30am crowd at the gym, only a handful of people. At 8:30am, folks are social, it’s crowded and may have to wait for a machine. The longer I wait after waking up, the less I want to go because my mind is working on all the projects I’m waiting to jump into. I’ve always done yoga every day but only began working out at the gym when I hit 55. Sometimes I really dig it and sometimes I just endure it. To keep me motivated ,I’d like a workout partner if I could find an early bird like me, but it’s cool doing it alone as well
Hello and welcome to the May 2015 edition of Horizons Magazine. Last month I read Sonia Choquette’s Walking Home, about her pilgrimage on the Santiago de Compostela Camino which is a 600+ mile walk across northern Spain to the North Atlantic Ocean, In the book Choquette mentions the Martin Sheen/Emilio Estevez movie The Way. I watched it and was inspired to further learn about those who pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago. In The Way., Martin Sheen plays Tom, who comes to France to deal with the tragic loss of his son. Rather than return home, Tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage on the Camino to honor his son’s desire to finish the journey. It was cool and synchronistic that I found the movie in time to get to see the routes she mentions. Later in the book when Sonia describes the church and the public mass at the end of the Camino, I know exactly the ceremony she’s talking about and get to relive it again. Continue reading
I’ve finally had a chance to read my Kindle Paperwhite. I like it, it’s easy on the eyes. It’s been a long while since I’ve read novels. I used to get lost in them when I was growing up, then reading became work. I do not care for Kindle telling me how much reading time is left in a chapter. II guess I’m a read-for-research person and not so much a read a novel for fun/relaxation person. There are always projects I’m waiting for time to do that involve having my body in motion. I do like to read about autobiographical spiritual journeys though. Later I thought, I see I’m too quick to judge. I should have been choosier in picking a novel to read. I should look for something I am interested in, so I just got a novel about a chick named Andi who is hiking the Appalachian Trail with her best bud.
I hit the gym at 6:30am and worked arms, shoulders, legs and core. By the time I was done, the treadmills were taken so I headed outside and walked up and down the parking lot for a half hour. About 72 degrees, low humidity, sun barely up. I’ve never been able to find my pace on the treadmill so I don’t like walking it. The parking lot at that time of day is perfect.
“Once you understand the correlation between how you are feeling and the thoughts that you are thinking, which are the reason you feel the way you do, then you can change the way you feel by changing the thoughts you are thinking. And then events change, too. It is just a matter of practicing your thoughts on purpose. Think and feel.” Abraham Hicks.
Most people do not realize that watching the news, the violence, the horrors of the world causes you to practice the vibration of it. And once you have practiced the vibration of it you are going to attract more and more unsettling stuff in all different areas of your life.
An insightful article here. “You’ll have just as much fun. Being alone will make you more creative… And probably make you work harder. If you’re an introvert, alone time is key to your happiness. Taking on activities on your own can help you meet new people. Spending time alone can help with depression, especially in teens. It helps clear your mind. You get to do what you actually want to do.” The full article here –> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/27/spending-time-alone_n_7154166.html?ir=Healthy+Living
I keep missing a hair stylist I’ve tried to connect with. I don’t make advance appointments, I have to stop in or call when I have a free moment and see if they’re available. Resistance always has meaning. If we were a vibrational match, we would have hooked up and I wouldn’t be cutting my own bangs. Sign…
A friend turned me on to the falun gong round of body movements this morning. It’s new and interesting. I will research and practice the form a bit and see if it’s for me. I work out and I do yoga but am always looking for new ways to move my body in conscious ways to experience the energy around me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy0MfOS25Rs
A friend recounted he had a conversation with a self proclaimed pet healer who, when my friend’s store was mentioned, was told the healer had heard of them and then proceeded to tell him how much better she was than they, how she was more enlightened and worked at a higher level than they do. Never having stepped foot in their store nor even met them, she made this judgment. She went on and on about she was better than everyone in town, even in the state. “I feel for her,” my friend wrote, “she ended up being the brunt of some not so nice comments after she left the store. Yes some will say she deserved those remarks but view her through the lens of compassion and it is easy to see she may be lost in a sea of unworthiness. My heart goes out to her. Imagine how she must feel inside in order to communicate that. She is coming from a space of fear, she must feel like she needs to bolster herself. In any case whoever you are I am sending you much love.” I agree and I recognize that as a stage in their awakening. With 40+ years experience in the metaphysical genre and councilling with thousands of people, they tell me their personal stories and I’ve seen the patterns firsthand. When someone tells me how powerful they are, that lets me know they are working through clearing their 2nd and 3rd chakras and I bless them on their path because those can be the challenging ones. When you’re powerful, when you’ve got something to offer, those you’ve helped will get the word out without you constantly offering testimonials about your own mojo.
