Positive iIons by Acitvie Conscious Breatning

... Beloved one, Five Minutes of Active Conscious Breathing Creates Positive Ions , and what a Difference that will make in Your Day , Because You will Go out then into the World and the Positive Feeling , the Positive Ions that You Have Activated by the Breathing and by the Consciousness are Going to Go out and they are Going to Touch other People, and other Ones may not Know what they’re Being Touched by , but They Feel Good as You pass by , the same as the Grass , the Trees, the Flowers ; they Respond to Your Energy , and Your positive Ions go out and Touch them , as well. Even Your vehicle will respond to the positive ions.

Letting Go - Act of a far greater POWER

GREAT TRANQUILITY

The time of business does not with me differ from the time of prayer, and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for different things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were upon my knees at the blessed sacrament.

When did you stop - dancing, singing, listening, meditating?

Ben Gilberti

In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions. When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence? ~ Gabrielle Roth

 

It speaks to me, as I have been in several Shamanic drumming, dancing & chanting groups, and need to get back to that wonderful feeling of being fully alive!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even After Darkness

A HIDDEN CHARM

Providence has hidden a charm in difficult undertakings which is appreciated only by those who dare to grapple with them.

 Meditation is a good example of challenging process that has a big hidden charm - mindfulness!

Jeeni Zucchini I do like... Sounds so simple, doesn't it

Ra Divakar Silence is Simplicity however noise complicates matters! Even while meditating, we just have to be aware and keep accepting and letting go..

Jeeni Zucchini Yes... is all one has to do is master their own mind. Sounds simple... but it's our greatest challenge! 

 

 

 

 

IQ and EQ - both important yet one may be more important for wisdom!

q

 I think EQ (emotional wisdom) plays a large part here too. One, like Romney, can have a high IQ to get where he has gotten, however at same time, have a low EQ with some of his decisions that display of lack of compassion.
Meditation may be best way to increase EQ - quieten the brain and become more aware of your feelings, emotions - see other posts!

HEALTHY DISCONTENT

Healthy discontent is the prelude to progress.

Mahatma Gandhi(gratefulness.org)

 

...WITH MY HEART AS WITH A HAND...

“Extinguish my eyes, I'll go on seeing you.
Seal my ears, I'll go on hearing you.
And without feet I can make my way to you,
without a mouth I can swear your name.

Break off my arms, I'll take hold of you
...with my heart as with a hand.
Stop my heart, and my brain will start to beat.
And if you consume my brain with fire,
I'll feel you burn in every drop of my blood.."

~Rainer Maria Rilke~

YES, GRATEFUL FOR ALL

Weave a Diverse Social Fabric - A New Creation Story ~

If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place.

A New Creation Story ~

A New Creation Story ~

I AM the Alchemist
the Creatrix ....
the Weaver
through the weaving of the energies
...

I turn lead into Gold.

You ARE the Alchemists also
we are weaving the energies together
as we move into this new creation story.

Shall we weave this new creation basket
with all the heartsongs of the peoples
ALL the peoples of this world.

Each a magic thread in the basket
that sparkles and shines like gold
for a better world to come.

Creation is a story....
Shall we create the best Story ever.

Be In The World but Not of the World

Bobby Hinkle

Be in the world but not of the world; that is to say, free yourself of the false illusions enslaving multitudes in the claw of sorrow and despair.

.Lisa Gonzales Suffering is a choice; we are in the world, but we can choose to remain unattached to things, ideas, concepts, judgements, expectations, etc. of the world, then we experience "life more abundant"

• Ron Alexander Very needed in these political controversies of the day - sharing yours and Lisa Gonzales' wise comment, thanks, ron

Love - Natural Response

Love is so exquisitely elusive. It cannot be bought, cannot be badgered, cannot be hijacked. It is available only in one rare form: as the natural response of a healthy mind and healthy heart.

Eknath Easwaran
Words to Live By

Only Message to Teach

Bobby Hinkle

 

I was raised in a conservative, fundamentalist religion. I forsook it many years ago in a desire for enlightenment. Over the years I have realized a certain enlightenment that has, over time, given me a sense Oneness awareness, with no judgement, with no righteousness based on religious laws by which we so often misconstrue ourselves as right while others are wrong. This attitude of religious pride, to me, is the one evil, created by priests and preachers with their hands out, demanding the tithes owed to them for introducing the "right" path. The only path is love. This is the only message they should have been teaching...with an open mind...and with hands closed

 

All Sailing in the Same Boat With Free Wind Power!

After an orange cloud — formed as a result of a dust storm over the Sahara and caught up by air currents — reached the Philippines and settled there with rain, I understood that we are all sailing in the same boat.

Earth, We Are One

Earth, We are one.

Hopi Prophecy

"The sun rose on a magical new day...
Over the whole earth they came,
The people of every colour,
...

Sister, Brother, Father, Mother
Traveling over many a land
People of the Rainbow
Children of the Way,
with a fresh glow
Finding their way
Star within...
More and more joined,
a song for the soul...
A new way to live,
A new way to see,
It happened this way...
And a new song,
It came from within
If you can find the Star,
Within then you will find...
What is... What was...
And what will be... you see,
It happened this way...
from within,
The people of the Way"
The Rainbow Tribe

 

In Silence, Know All Events are Blessings to Learn From

HAPPY HEART GIVES AND RECEIVES WELL

The happy heart gives away the best. To know how to receive is also a most important gift, which cultivates generosity in others and keeps strong the cycle of life.

Karma, Grace or hopefully Both?

LIKE" What we all deserve of course, is the moon and stars and eternal life)" Thanks Bunni Vaughan Healy! Although, Karma simply means cause and effect! And, I really love the Christian concept of Grace - I know many Christians use it to unconsciously increase bad karma. What works for me to continue to clean up past karma moment to moment using Byron Katy's Turnaround process & the Ho'Oponopono Prayer - I apologize, please forgive me, tI LOVE YOU  To me, this is The Buddha's Path to end suffering - Purification of thought! And that leads to the Grace of Nirvana - Heaven on Earth!

Autumn Myst Great name! That is wonderful :) ...... the above image was (also) from another cafe joint (Dervish Cafe, SultanAhmat, Istanbul) < it doesn't only cater to coffee avids, (Turkey dish enthusiast), and of course plentiful of Rumi 'lovers'/followers < a nightly performance - great ambience > surreal evenings while dining ... sheer JOY! <3 span="span">

 

Through your grace I have found
a treasure within myself.
I have found the truth of the Unseen world.

I have come upon the eternal ecstasy.
I have gone beyond the ravages of time.
...

I have become one with you!

Now my heart sings,
"I am the soul of the world."
