\"mind<\/a>Friends ask how I can be so uninterested in politics and so calm in the face of what’s going on. I guess because I\u2019m busy attending to \u201cwhat\u2019s going on\u201d in my own life. We\u2019re all free to choose what to believe. I believe in what I myself have experienced. My experience is there\u2019s something up there or out there greater than I that has it all under control. My experience is that this (something) is responsive to me, has my well being in mind and is activated by my attention and by my intention. My experience is that my hopeful thoughts on behalf of friends and family somehow have a hand in impacting their experience.<\/span><\/strong> Some would say that\u2019s God working through prayer. Some would say the Universe is responding to my intention and affirmations. Some would say it\u2019s destiny, that there\u2019s no cause and effect to my actions.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m a scientific gal. I have to experience something myself numerous times before I believe there\u2019s a cause and effect to what I do. Anything I can do, you can do. My most powerful tool is my focused intention. I\u2019m good at that because I\u2019ve trained myself through daily meditation.<\/strong><\/span> So, am I uninterested in politics because I think chanting OM will solve the problems of the world? No, but it will solve the problems in my mind, which is the only place they exist. As hopeless as any situation feels, it\u2018s really only our thoughts that we\u2019re dealing with and we have the power to change those. When we look for evidence that everything is under control and that the world has unlimited resources, we find balance and our world becomes unlimited.<\/p>\n

My world has loving family, happy friends and a cooperative spirit. When \u201cproblems\u201d arise, we look for solutions, we look for people to help, we don\u2019t judge, we don\u2019t blame. Are we not still working through these things? Of course we are, sometimes in dramatic and chaotic ways. There\u2019s no avoiding that. But what we work at most is remembering we are all in this together, doing what we can each day, in even small ways, to foster a feeling of inclusion and cooperation, to offer hope to everyone we meet.<\/p>\n

My experience is there\u2019s something up there or out there greater than I that has it all under control. Call it whatever you want.<\/span> My experience is that this Something is responsive to me, has my well being in mind and is activated by my attention and by my intention.<\/strong><\/span> My experience is that my hopeful thoughts on behalf of friends and family have a hand in improving their experience.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s how I can be so uninterested in politics and so calm in the face of what’s going on. Because I\u2019m busy attending to enjoying the unfolding in my own life.<\/p>\n
