IN GRATITUDE WE INVOKE THE BALANCE OF DIVINE FEMININE AND MASCULINE IN EACH INDIVIDUAL AS WE ALL WALK THIS PATH OF DEEP BREATHS IN AWARENESS AND BLISS!
Asking my heart energy (atman/purusha) to help me understand the difference between the I (spirit) and the i (ego). I don’t feel attached, however I do see my desire and actions often coming from seeds planted from past experience. So i must be attached to the past. So the I and i wonder is this life the universal, time being an illusion past present future, is it the dream, or is it my ego the i reaching.
Focused mind, loving intention, centered in the universal, flowing seems to ask me to live outward from withing with no agenda, opinion, or expectation.
Creativity expressed and received. Shakti/Kundalini/Shiva
I and i sit silent, peaceful, awake. Gazing up to the blue sky and watching the movement of clouds…the sun still golden behind the clouds, the trees kissing the light.
The elements of nature that are witnessed with the seeing eye, and felt with the vehicle (the body) are part of the material. The soul residing in the vehicle (the body) is whole and radiant, filled with the cosmos, stars, sun, moon, fire, air, ether, water, and wood; is that. The reason, the definition of what I and i see in the moon when it is full and bright and the star speckled sky is seen because it is me and inside of me. The heat and life giving sun is me and inside of me.
The I the soul is universal and ever-expanding. This is why to try to define, measure, or classify it always diverts the true meaning and or essence of the whole. Whole being a word to define what is separate. When nothing in fact truly can be separate from the whole. Only through the perception of ego is there duality? Yin and Yang are the definitions given by the ancient eastern medicines..
So, the funny thing is that the taming of and non-identification of the ego (i) is an ongoing life practice. It amazes me how I can shift so quickly from pure bliss to total attachment in a matter of moments. Trying to witness the shift, still detached from the story i find myself react. So then I ask myself am I or i truly detached or delusional? I am always awake, however, i still find myself attached through the senses i.e. chocolate.
My thought here is to witness and understand that I and i am in the flow of the universe, however my practice as a soul in the body is a human experience. To understand the humanism of i and still understand the nature of reality and perception I and i continue the meditation…
To understand the perception and the ego lens I and i must participate in the world of things and people.
Breathing and witnessing gracefully I and i grow into and with my organic being.
All this philosophical, practical, and esoterical/cosmic thought and experience, where does it find I and i?
Be real, natural, like uncarved wood and the waves. be loving unconditionally to myself (I/i) and all beings.
Enjoy each precious moment with the gratitude and awe of a small child.
Breath is a powerful tool for awareness.
When faced with challenges and beauty notice the breath, the intricate rhythm of the soul linked to the body, mind, heart, and spirit.
Breath is a gauge of truth in action. When we are calm our breath reflects the tranquility of our being. When we are disturbed the breath is disoriented.
Breath is Life. Life is a gift. Let us celebrate the mysterious magic of each moment within the awareness of inhale and exhale.
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
A Mantra of Love
” I love and accept myself as I am All my imperfections are washed away by all consuming Love. The Father and Mother of All Loves their creation Unconditionally…and I am one with this Love. I send Love to all my body, and I know it is well. I send Love to my feelings, and I know they are healed. I am Love Manifest.
I forgive myself for not always knowing.
I forgive myself for not always feeling Love.
I Love myself for all my imperfections.
I Love myself totally in this moment.
When I doubt, I Love myself for doubting.
When I feel lack, I love myself for this feeling, for it is only Love that will evaporate the doubt and quench my hearts thirst. I Love myself for misunderstanding. My new Love will bring wisdom to my heart.
I Love and Forgive myself for hurting others, for my lack of Love was my only error.
I forgive myself for my emptiness, and march forward with my Army of Love to Heal those around me with Forgiveness.
My new Love glistens in my hearts the dew on the shimmering, green meadow. It sings in my Soul like a songbird’s symphony in the springtime, and it cleanses my Being as the waterfall’s mist douses the crisp evening air.
Yes I am Love, relentlessly pursuing your heart. You have looked here and there for me, yet I have waited patiently to fulfill the real dreams of your eternal nature.
Many times when you have doubted, I awaited as you fought your self-created battles. And now the battlefield is clear, and you have conquered the enemy within by allowing me to enter your heart as your commander-in-chief.
Many times you have believed yourself to be separate from Love.
Love is what you are and what you have always been.
Loving yourself is truly all there is…. since all is Love.” (The Soul as Healer, by J. Nichols)
-WE ARE LOVE-WE ARE LIGHT-
Aum Namah Shivaya
Finding the courage to step across the river of the conditioned mind and sit on the bank of awareness allows us to gain new perspectives.
Let us celebrate the moment from an existential vantage point and let go of the definitions that keep us stuck in a story that is over.
Bringing the light into our hearts and allowing love to shine in, through, and all around us will build the bridges we need to cross the rivers of ignorance that we and others carry.
May we take action in devotion and attention.
JAI MA!
Be in Love with everything.
May we walk with respect for ourselves, others, and mother earth!
ONE LOVE FAMILY!
Sometimes we have fear in moments when looking into the face of love,
Compassion and acceptance of another even when they appear so different is a practice of self-knowledge (gnosis).
How do we break down lines on a page, structure that isn’t supportive, and the conditioned reaction?
We listen to the beating of our heart/soul song!
We breathe deep in the face of what appears strange and new,
And we stay in a practice that is consistent so that we have the gauge of awareness.
The gift of wisdom mined by time and experience shine brightly, practice each day in gratitude for this life.
May we walk the path of peace and love with integrity in this cycle of evolution into universal light vibration.
Jai Ma!
BREATH IS LIFE, BE AWARE OF IT IN ALL SURROUNDINGS AND COMPANY.
FIND YOUR TRUTH AMONGST THE MASSES AND SING YOUR SONG WITH A HEART FILLED IN HAPPINESS AND SPIRIT.
PRACTICE IS ALWAYS CHANGING TO REFLECT THE UNIVERSE AND ITS DANCE OF THE COSMOS.
BE IN LOVE FAMILY, ROOT INTO THE EARTH WITH GRATITUDE, AND SHINE!
Aum Namah Shivaya
sahanavavatu sahanau bhunaktu
saha viryam
karva vahai tejas vinau adhitamastu
ma vidvisha vahai-i
Om shanti shanti shanti
(May wisdom protect and nourish us, let us work together for wisdom, may our study be illuminating, may we never be at discord, Om peace peace peace)
“Embrace that life itself is ecstasy.” Saida Desilets
“With the gift of listening comes the gift of healing, because listening to our brothers and sisters unitl they have said the last words in their hearts is healing and consoling. Someone has said that it is possible to ‘listen a person’s soul into existence.’, I like that.” Anonymous
Root into Mother Earth in love
breathe, dance, laugh, sing, enjoy each moment and all the magic!
Live in Love
In the reflection of practice we look into ourselves and where the lens is still dusty.
The dust that covers our experience from the beauty of the moment.
So we practice to clear the grit out of our eyes and see ourselves from a place of reverence.
We look into the eyes of whoever stands in front of us and we bow with gratitude for the reflection of ourselves.
We practice and find that the fragility of the moment is precious, that we are precious, and that life is a celebration of spirit embodied on earth.
Earth our bodies reaching toward the moon and sun in a tactical dance of universal truth.
Poetic discourse is part of the dance as we surrender to the fluidity of our being.
The poet understands the dust and reaches out into all the realms to clear the lens and express divine inspiration.
Expression is found in our practice.
The reflection of our triumphs alongside our challenges begin to show a balance in being.
Being present is the gift of the soul all we have to do is practice.
The practice of breath, awareness of action, integrity in spirit, alignment of body, and surrender.
Surrender to the Divine all that limits our perception so that we can be in freedom and expression of the soul.
OM NAMA SHIVAYA
