Be soft. Be flexible. Be kind. How can I show up as Grace here?  How may I serve in this moment?

Read What to Expect From The Experience first. Have an expectation of success. If you are skeptical of the process, or skeptical that it could work for you, that is ok. A fish doesn’t have to believe in the ocean. For the period of time you are doing this process, set aside doubt and let go of resistance. Even if you think you have never experienced conscious contact, you can still be successful. You want to get yourself in a quiet setting and read the following statements. (They are also on an mp3 file, see bottom of page for link if you want it. The audio begins with a 4 minute relaxation induction.)

There’s a new effort to legalize marijuana in Florida and not just for medical reasons. Petitions are about to hit the streets soon in a push to get voters to decide whether to legalize marijuana for anyone over 21. Jodi James with Florida Cannabis Action Network in Melbourne is behind a new effort to make it happen.  An affiliated political action group called Floridians for Freedom http://floridiansforfreedom.org is gearing up for a massive, statewide push to gather signatures on a constitutional amendment that would make marijuana legal for anyone over the age of 21. It’s a separate effort from the medical marijuana petition led by attorney John Morgan last year. Organizers said the effort is a simple civil liberty issue, not a medical issue, and would allow lawmakers to regulate how it’s sold. They want to get one million registered voters to sign the petition to get it on the 2016, if not the 2018, ballot. Mike Morgan, of the Morgan and Morgan law firm, who is working with the medical marijuana issue, said he doesn’t think the effort will impact what they are trying to do.  The Petition here –> http://floridiansforfreedom.org/index.php/downloadable-pdfs/rightofadultstocannabis.   Original article at http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/group-pushes-legal-marijuana-florida/nnXJP/’

On Legalizing Marijuana.  Wanting repeal of prohibition isn’t just about getting high. Cannabis is a natural medical treatment. It is a miracle plant put here by a loving Creator, for a reason. It is a sacrament. It is holy. And it’s not just about the medicinal side, it’s also about getting industrial hemp growing in this country again.

A friend after last night’s kirtan at Yoga Shakti Mission asked me why I was poking our friend Gajendra in the tummy as the three of us were speaking. Because he was wearing a t-shirt with baby Krishna and I was tapping baby Krishna’s feet since we were celebrating his birthday! Happy Krishna Janmashtami!

My tenant rocks, and so does SCCU. By the 1st I’d not received the rent which means she lost her $100 discount and a $10 per day late fee began running. She’d ordered payment on 8-28-15 thru SCCU who promised it’d be here on time. She faxed the Lease and Late Rent Notice to SCCU who immediately reimbursed her for the lost discount. I gave her $50 of it since, if I truly believe we’re all One, it’s easy to share and it doesn’t matter who has the $$ in their pocket on any one day. A friend remarked “10 bucks a day late fees if not received on the first and you got someone to sign that LOL.” I replied, “Hey, I give a $100 discount for paying by the 1st! I have a rental lease that I wouldn’t sign but I’m a fair person, the lease is only for protection in case someone is being unfair with me. I believe in having firm rules in place, knowing I can be as forgiving and generous as I wish if a situation calls for enforcement. She’d ordered the payment a week earlier, as she always does. We knew it was a glitch. Bless SCCU for being honorable so I didn’t have to take it out of her hide.”

Where do you focus? Where do you choose to place your attention? All things exist. You are the one who chooses in every moment what to focus on. Every time you open your eyes, you have a choice of which channel to tune to. If your channels are stuck on disasters, that’s your opportunity to serve or focus elsewhere. You miss opportunity when you’re angry. Horrors in the news don’t shock me and I don’t talk about them with friends. If I can help somewhere, I do. If I can’t, I focus elsewhere and get out of the way of those who are called to that holy duty. Don’t complain about it and join everyone else in the chain of pain with you. Do something to help it or focus on something happier.

Sending love from my heart to the 3 hurricanes surrounding Hawaii. There will always be storms. Most pass right by. Some hit us. We either recover or we don’t. Don’t fear what Nature does. In any moment of devastation, you’ll be shown your next step. It will be made known to you. There will always be a way out, even if you can’t imagine ahead of time what the way out might be. You are always shown options in every Now moment. When Now feels scary, relax yourself with deep inhales and controlled exhales. There will always be storms. Most pass right by.

Stop being afraid of life. If you only knew you were stronger than whatever you’re afraid of, oh what a life you would have here and now.
