How's this for synchro-destiny?  I've been hungrily reading Deepak Chopra's new book, Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul.  I've noticed lately that what seems to be unfolding in my life and questions I am asking are coming up at the same time I find Dr. Chopra is about to finish and publish a new book that answers my questions.  As for me and my physical body, this is perfect for me right now.  I feel a new personal challenge going on to practice what he teaches in his new book for the next 50 days.

At the same time just ten minutes before I found it on Facebook is Lilou's YouTube conversation with Dr. Chopra about the book.  Loved it!

You know what though?  It made me cry.  Cry because I find that I love myself enough to want to heal my stuck energy.  And cry because I have so much stuck energy in my body I've been carrying that I really didn't either want to be aware of or for whatever reason and it was like with this book I have given myself the permission to let it go.  Permission to be less hard on myself.  Permission to stop competing with the outer and understanding that it is really just me competing with something I can never win 'cuz I'll always change the bar or what the barometer is for winning.

Writing a blog called flowing and glowing well-being, I find reference in this book to following what he so eloquently shares I just know will surely enhance the flowing of well-being and my glowing with well-being in my life.  I am so grateful.

I also found it interesting how I am seeing so clearly the power of a decision.  For now I am going to leave it at that.

Okay, as I read over what I've written to this point just to make sure it doesn't sound too wacky, it occurred to me that I started the 100-day challenge with the same sort of excitement having just learned about ho'oponopono.  And I think the thing that can be frustrating about energy work is that we may not be able to immediately "see" in our physical experience how something might actually be beneficial for us.  So, (okay, I'll speak for myself) I tend to abandon it and move to something new and what must certainly be better and more effective.  Yet, as I lay on my bed doing one of the exercises that Dr. Chopra suggests, the awarness did come into my mind that what I was doing was similar to the "I love you. I'm sorry.  Please forgive me. Thank you." of ho'oponopono.

As you breathe in and simply the intention to reconnect with your physical body and live, love and enjoy more holistically (including your whole self in your experiences)...you are basically declaring to the ALL that you love yourself enough to do this for yourself.  As you continue to breathe in with the intent of the exhale releasing any stuck and discordant (not in harmony with divine love) energy while saying your are sorry to yourself for believing you are anything less than the truth of who you are...and as the "please forgive me?" is asked and love answers by bringing into play its cleaning solvent power which allows you to release this discordant energy and as you exhale you release this energy from your being, which Divine Love immediately replaces with divine love energy.  While the whole process can last mere seconds, it can feel as if you've left behind 10 pounds of discordant weight you've been carrying in your physical body.  And so the words "thank you" easily come to mind.

So, it's interesting how I can seemingly forget about ho'oponopono and then come back to its simplicity. 

I also got a kick out of seeing one of the books at Barnes and Noble...the new one by Sherri Shepard, titled Permission Slips.  It didn't make me necessarily want to read it...just that it is amazing what can happen when we give ourselves permission to decide and allow the answers to come.

I also love how it seems I am more aware how this process is helping me expand my definitions of what something included in meaning or how something needs to look.  I had an example, but it has slipped away.  I will simply then sign off now content to have reminded myself of this awareness. 

I love you.  Thank you.


allows love to be the only motivation for life.

Day 25, Sunday, September 13, 2009

Well, 25% of the way through the 100-day open-heart challenge. Feelin' good and lovin' life.

Yesterday, I did a bit more blogging than I intended. I say "that's okay" 'cuz I was inspired to do so.

There's a Deepak Chopra quote, "When I see and feel the life beat of Spirit in every object, I evolve to a higher level of transformation called 'God Consciousness'."

I mention this 'cuz I know I've mentioned before that part of why I got on the spiritual path was to feel better about myself. And to be honest, to feel better about myself compared to others who weren't as spiritual as me. Like somehow that would give me favor with the Divine.

Only to find out that there isn't a single spiritual practice I can practice that can make me more spiritual than I already am. I was created spiritual and technically there is only spirit either in form or in potential.

I'd have to say that I used to have a much narrower view of love. I bring this up because today I accompanied my Uncle to one of his favorite things, a classic car show. The one in Belmont Shores, which is a neighborhood of Long Beach, California. And one of the best attended car shows of the season.

My uncle can tell you things about cars that I wouldn't even pretend to know...his knowledge almost encyclopedic. He'd probably be a great friend for Jay Leno.

Anyway, as we were driving back from the event I was thinking about how much love really was flowing and glowing at this event. Even if a lot of it was for seeming inanimate objects. For again, to believe the divine is not in every atom of energy seems to be another misconception.

Or to admire the beauty. Again, even though I am not a big fan of this kind of thing, I challenge anyone to look at some of the cars that were displayed and not just be blown away by the beauty of some of these amazing vehicles that have been loved and pampered by their owners.

I will leave it at that and send my uncle appreciation for sharing his love with me in this way.

P.S. I am still for currency cleanse and inspired giving. Both can be explored further by visiting http://www.friendsofthelawofattraction.com

Also, below is one of my favorite spiritually inspired t-shirt designs. Today, I include the design in primary colors with the choice of having it big on the shirt or smaller with over the heart placement. If you like the design, but are more inclined to pastel colors, that is what I will be including in tomorrow's blog.

A little blurb about my inspiration for the design. I love the meaning of the word namaste as it is a greeting to honor the divine in us all regardless of race, color, creed, etc. That is why I used multiple colors and multiple fonts. Enjoy.





As always, thank you so much for your time to read my blog and/or participate in currency cleanse, inspired giving or buying a t-shirt with one of my designs. Bless you and namaste.
