Desire, the dance with God

Where do our desires come from?

Are they separate from us?

Are they separate from God?

Are there heart based desires and mind based desires?

Questioning one's desires can be fruitful.

Choose a desire. How does it make you feel.?

How would the fulfillment of it make you feel?

Does it feel like it comes from you heart of hearts?

Does it feel like it comes from a need to fill a hole of loneliness?

I have found the desires that come as a result of a natural order of serving and love and sharing are wholesome desires that are God given and do not need to be at odds with life.

I have found the mind based desires to be generally fronts for deeper desires that are serving as well.

The desires are in us, how did they get there?

Are they separate from God?

I am safe

Primary. I am safe to breath into this body and enjoy this moment.

Any secondaries? List them with out judgment and offer them to love to be dissolved.

Then repeat primary and feel it sink into your cells.

Repeat again and again.

Affirmations

Affirmations can help one experience presence.

A conscious affirmation can be called a "primary" and might look like..."I am safe and confident in this body".

Any resistance that comes up to the affirmation can be called a "secondary."

Un-checked secondaries will manifest unconsciously.

Say your primary and make note of secondaries.

Offer the secondaries to the heart of Love to be healed.

Keep doing it until you can feel your primary soak deep into your cells.

oh how i do love

I am not my thoughts.

I am not my emotions.

I am not my body.

I am not lost in nothingness.

I am present in my heart of expanding love.

I am present in the power in my belly.

When I see life through presence, oh how I do love.

Tough days

There might be days when you just cannot seem to release your identification with the mind and its its effect on the emotions and body.

These are challenging days.

Just remaining in awareness that you are identified with the mind is a great start.

If you can hold that awareness it will help.

The alternative is to be lost completely in illusion.

Any thoughts we have are illusion. They are not grounded in the now, in life. They are based on past and future.

Wonder what you are indentified with?

Do you sense right now the ultimate majesty of creation? The blissful awareness of the vastness of creation?

Some people live their whole lives identified with their thoughts, emotions and physical body.

Some people live a whole life never once touching the soft face of God.

The face that exists out side of worldly identification.

A love affair happening right now.

You and God and all that is, right now.

Witness the thoughts, let them be.

Witness the emotions, let them be.

Witness the body and let it be.

Then open your heart to dance with life itself right now.

Hear the sounds you were missing, smell the smells.

Remember the simpleness of being.

...Or maybe you will get another chance to come back and be present?

If you don't know how to do this, email me and I will walk you through it. Everyone deserves to dance.

Getting Back to Love

Right now can you breathe three times.

Can you watch for just a moment, the thoughts of your mind?

Can you watch them with no judgment as you might watch a cloud?

Can you watch the emotions generated by these thoughts?

Can watch the somatic responses of your body in relation to these emotions?

Can you sit with this for a moment until....

You may ask...

Who am I?

Death as proof

What happens when someone we love dies?

What exactly is that deep painful feeling we feel in our chest?

We love so deeply, can that feeling in our hearts be proof of our interconnectedness?

Follow that ache to its source and you will see love is rewarded with the knowing that we are eternal and one in spirit.

It is risky to love here on he earth with the potential loss of the body, and it is safe with the realization of our interconnectedness.

Am I leaving room for recieve answes to my prayers?

When I am wanting something so badly, all my energy is going out in prayer.

This outward motion can can block the inward flow, which are our prayers being answered.

When do we trust our prayers have been heard, and sit back some to allow the response?

Maybe what comes is not exactly what I wanted and yet due to an design greater than myself, it is exactly what I needed.

Maybe i just keep praying so I'll never find out.

What is suffering?

When I am lost in the thoughts of my mind. That is suffering.

When I am lost in the waves of my emotions. That is suffering.

When I am lost in the ways of my flesh. That is suffering.

These things are inherently good, lovingly created, and yet needing balance.

I ask simply what am I then if I am not my mind, my emotions and my body?

This is the step into eternity.
