Music

Want a great way to transform a bad mood?

Listen to music you know will take you to a better place! Transformation occurs when you consciously observe the bad mood you're in, then choose to let it go by moving through it.

What would we do without music?

Amazing to think about how the synthesis of vibrations work with instruments and vocal notes.

When we memorize songs, we have them embedded in our psyche to draw upon. As we dance with it, it becomes something that makes it hard for us NOT to move when we hear it. How do we do that? Just by Hearing a song, it conjures up this movement. If we can do this, it is quite possible to conjure up good thoughts with other sounds: birds, water, fire, bugs-the world is our dj. Why are we sometimes inhibited to express this movement? It's the dance of life, why not?

Movement

While stillness is important to reflect, movement is just as important. It's all in the balance of how you use these.

If you are in the flow of life, you don't have to even think about it. Your body will let you know what you need to do if your mind is overactive. A good storm brings movement to clear things that need to be cleared out.

Dance with me. We're all in this together, so let's find the balance! Ride the waves. Don't know how to ride?  Sure you do, Double Dare you.

Insight for the day

As Dr. Eric Pearl put it: "Each time a fear comes up, walk into it." He continues by saying by losing your attachment to fear, you are shedding your illusion of separation and living in infinite oneness.

*From his book The Reconnection.

What fears do you have? Awareness is the first step to dissolving them as if you stepped out of the shadow of fear into the light of all that is.

Yes, it's that easy! Now go out and get it...the water is fine!

Namaste. And so it is.

Expression

Express yourself, even if you're the only one who sees the expression. 

Reveal how you feel, show who you are, reflect what you see. 

You're the only You! Share your gifts today. Don't know what your gifts are? You need to get quiet to figure that out. You don't have to be a bump on a log to be quiet. You can be the eye in the storm, you can be the bird flying, you can be the grass growing, you can be the ocean moving, you can be the mountain calling. Just be quiet. Just Be.

Cool breeze

After fighting the heat for so long, a respite presented itself to me with a gift of a cool breeze. 

Reacting accordingly, a peaceful feeling greeted me in the morning.

What have you been fighting with lately? Sounds like you need a cool breeze to tell you everything will be fine and that Peace for you is waiting to greet you. Sometimes you don't even need to ask, it just happens.

Analyzing

Webster's defines analysis as a separation from the whole into its parts to find out their nature.

But without the whole, what good are the parts? Without the parts, there is no whole, right?

It's the connection between the whole and the parts that keeps us going. 

Pushed to the limit

You know a trigger has been pushed when you push back. Depending on how deep the trigger is, is the amount of force you use to push back with. How you push back can be negative or positive.

If you've pushed negatively just know if you breathe through the process, things can still transform to positive and it will be ok.  Sometimes it takes some confusion to get through to the truth. 

When you realize the positive is showing through, don't stop to contemplate, just take it and run with it until you're breathless with gratitude because there's plenty more where that came from.

Calm in the Storm

It is possible to be calm in the storm. Just remember to Breathe and stay centered.

What's your center? It is the stillness. It is a single note, a frequency that stays the same and doesn't fluctuate with movement. Example is of the bee. A few days ago, I witnessed a bee hovering very still. I could hear it's vibration as it hovered. One single note. Then, as it moved, the vibration and note changed to be several notes and vibrations and then it was still again.

Such as the bee, we need to find that single note, that stillness. Then after we are still, we can begin moving again. This doesn't have to be an arduous experience, or even frequent, it just needs to be an option for us to use when we need it.

Namaste.

Searching

I saw a humming bird this morning looking for food where there used to be some.

Do you have friends that will help you look for your food in different places? And why do we look in the same places for food where we know it does not exist?

We really are all in this together. Be the friend that helps your friend find food for their soul. You are the missing link.

Rhythm

Even though I don't understand it yet, it's still there. There is a rhythm of life all around us. Animals know it, we see it (moon phase, tides, etc), but how does one feel it? We may have a sense of it sometimes. 

Since everyone has a gift, I know I have one, but sensing this rhythm is not one of them, but I'll bet someone out there does.  I could only imagine what it would be like to sense the orchestra around us and see/sense/feel it's pulse.  

For now, I'll be happy with my gifts and honor everyone else today with the gift they have.

Namaste.

Subtle changes

You ever struggle with something? A minor struggle? Like reaching for the flour and having to take the bag of powdered sugar and brown sugar off the top of the container? Or something where it creates an irritation with you? Then slow down. It's the universe saying you need to slow down. Take a breath, breathe in the calm, breathe out the irritant.  Yes, it's that easy. Again, Yes is such a great word! Say Yes to Yourself!

Change your mind about feeling irritated. Slow down and enjoy your day.  :-)

Listening

As I heard a cricket this morning outside while driving my son to school, I realized as we recognize sounds we resonate with them. 

What noises are you listening to? Are the noises thoughts going through your mind? Are the thoughts reflecting how positive you are and how brilliant you are? Are they contemplative? How do those noises make you Feel?

You know you have the power to clear out negative thought patterns by choosing to listen to positive ones! Acknowledge where the negative is coming from and replace it with something fresh and new! You can even replace it with a song you hear. Music transcends so many levels! Play something positive  over and over and over!  Yes is such a great word! Say Yes to Yourself!

Yes, it's that simple.  I dare you!  Double Dare you!  Now, let's go out and have fun today! Make it a feel good kinda day!  :-)

Suspense

We all have our own patterns of weaving that we find Joy in. By using familiar patterns, we honor that which is inside us waiting to be revealed. It is in the process of learning a new pattern where suspense builds and we look forward to how it's going to turn out.

What has the universe given you to weave with?  The Universe will always supply you with what you need to keep it fresh. Can you believe that? Little ol' You is so important to the Universe that all of it wants to support you because it can't wait to see how you choose to use Love. Try something different, you may be surprised!

Communication

If communication is a form of connection, what connection do we really want? If there is true connection, then it is us sending and receiving at the level we wish to connect with. If we are sending and receiving at a lower level then people begin to question the intent of the message we are sending because our words don't match the intention behind it.

Thought patterns

If a transmitter can send things out and a radio picks up that information, why can't thoughts do the same thing?

If I'm transmitting a certain signal (say for instance, positive feelings about everyone), if someone is wired to receive that "signal", then does this happen more often than we choose to be aware of it? And why wouldn't it?  So, what frequency are we transmitting and what frequency are we choosing to be the recipient of?

Apple Pie

What's apple pie got to do with the current crumbling of our economic systems as we know it along with education and churches?

Plenty. How about we start using all those kitchens available to us through our churches?!

Have after school programs that actually reach out to others! Kids get to learn how to bake and cook (using math, social skills, life skills) and folks get to come to a place to have a real meal, not a frozen meal that has been reconstituted.  Why not?  I could see this easily integrated into every small town in America!

It's the United States being United. Non denominational and United.

Anyone need a checklist and plan to execute something like this? I'd be happy to give it to whomever wants it...for free!  With a structure that includes funding from various community sources only, money will not become an issue because there are no lengthy applications to fill out as well as waiting for the check, just a whole bunch of good feelings of people donating either time or money to something as worthy as giving our children life skills they'll be able to put to use and feeding those that need it.

As American as Apple Pie.  :-)

Stream of thought

Welcome! I'm so glad you decided to visit with me today!

I have lots to share as do you and that's why I decided to begin today on a more positive note!

I'm looking forward to this new avenue. I wake up with new ideas and ruminate over old ones while trying to put new twists on them.  Since this is a never ending stream of thought, I decided it's time to share what I'm thinking. Please use the ideas I come up with freely, but try to give me credit when you can. This is more about me getting this stuff out of my head and into the hands of those that can use it.

March 19, 2010 was a pivotal day for me. I began a journey of changing the way I was reacting to life. I had just finished a terrible trip and realized I was the only one who could change, and I did! 

Idea: While waiting in long lines, you could appear to speak different languages fluently while one your phone! You place a call and choose what type of conversation you want people to overhear. All you would be doing is repeating exactly what the other person on the other end of the phone was saying in whatever language you wish! How cool would that be? It could be taken farther by having that interpreter at the other end of the phone tell you what people are saying around you as well. I could see this as an app for the iphone easily! I'm enamored with Apple as it is.

If you have ideas that you want to share as freely, please do. We're all in this together, so let's choose to make this a better place and if nothing else, affirm that we're connected through this place we call the internet.

Many Blessings,

*Sara  :-)
