im·ag·i·na·tion

noun

1.

the faculty of imagining, or of forming mental images or concepts of what is not actually present to the senses.
2.

the action or process of forming such images or concepts.
3.

the faculty of producing ideal creations consistent with reality, as in literature, as distinct from the power of creating illustrative or decorative imagery.
4.
the product of imagining; a conception or mental creation, often a baseless or fanciful one.
5.
ability to face and resolve difficulties; resourcefulness: a job that requires imagination.
 
Seems that at least a part of imagining is being able to bring whatever has come to mind, the imagined element, to the forefront of the senses.  I believe that simply living in imagination without any embodiment of the imagined would be too sterile and mind centered for me. I must allow my imagination to come to fruition and become reality. Not all of the time but at least some of the time.
 
I am glad that I am able allow my imagination to come to life.

The physical act of smiling.

The very action of smiling begins to shift me from what might be a hard focus, a stern gaze. Allowing for the physical action and the chemical stimulation that comes with smiling creates a shift in my being. This change in my being in turn shifts my attitude and shifts my focus, softens not only my physical countenance but softens my mental state.

If smiling could be the beginning of action this could be a good place to start any kind of action.

Today I will smile and soften.

Pleasure and Passion are to me like a delicious cocktail combination.

Pleasure increases with me when I am passionate. Passion increases in me when I am in a state of pleasure. Passionate is full-bodied and all in, no limits. Pleasure is flowing and energetic, no blockages and plenty of juice.

There is a lovely balance in me when pleasure and passion are at play. I imagine that this is like yin and yang, like when my tantra teacher speaks of balance in masculine and feminine. What seems to me to happen is that pleasure and passion work with and through each other. The passion liquefies and bubbles the pleasure and the pleasure solidifies and firms the passion. This all seems to play out in a sexy and delightful way in me. I like the way that I feel when the two are playing in me.

Pleasure and Passion, living in a delicious and blissful state.

Today I will allow for the flow of pleasure and the stability of passion, all within me as I weave my way through the day and night.

AH HA Sexy Passion – Passion is a playmate.

I seem not to be able to rid myself of passion. Passion follows me and is in me wherever I go. Passion moves through my work, my play and my day to day life, as well as my dreams. Living passionately and full-out is not natural to me. I only came to expressing passion and being passionate after finding permission inside of myself.

When you’re at peace with yourself and you love your self, it’s virtually impossible for you to do things to yourself that are destructive.
When you get enough inner peace and feel really positive about yourself, it’s almost impossible for you to be controlled or manipulated by anyone else.
the more you extend kindness to yourself the more it will become your natural response to others
A secret of abundance is to stop focussing on what you do not have and shift your consciousness to an appreciation for all that you do have
No limit people are so in charge that they can trust their instincts, be childlike, be creative and do anything that makes sense to them.

No limit people are so in charge that they can trust their instincts, be childlike, be creative and do anything that makes sense to them.

Wayne Dyer

The idea of living in passion is relatively new to me as a 55 year old man. A few years ago my passion scared me, I did not know how to live with this part of me that seemed so out of control, so huge, so fierce. Today I watch for the fierceness and enjoy the eruption as passion plays out of me.  Today I thrive on the richness and the fulness of expression that passion allows for me.

Today I will surf in the flood of creativity that my passion brings and I will live without limiting that abundance of fresh, new and recurring old. Today I will let the passion flow, erupt, shoot and drizzle.

Today I will be full and playful and enjoy the freedom I feel without limits, living in joyful, blissful passion.

Expanding today.

Each moment I spend contracting and pulling away takes me further away from what I want and how I want to be. Each moment I spend expanding and leaning in I get closer to what and how i want to be.

Being open and engaged helps. Today I will allow and give permission to the inner being, simply letting what is – be at rest and play.

“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”
– Rumi

 I feel at my best when the river is moving in me…

A River of Joy

Seeking a vibration that is in sync with the world around me.

I notice today that I am vibrating at a really high frequency. This high frequency is about play and action and motion and dancing. I seem to be out of sync with a world that is dark and gloomy, rainy and foggy. I am breathing to sync the two. I know that if I breath and become more aware of the world around me the sync will actually happen.

Today I will breath deeply and align with the reality of the world around me.

Pink has an energetic resonance with me.

Funny that which I was so ashamed of many years ago can rise up in me to be  such a powerful symbol of strength and energy. The colour pink is to me what I imagine totem figures are to some. I am constantly drawn to how this colour brings a smile to my face, relaxes me, stimulates me. Yes I know those words that just came out are contradictory… there you go. Some things, some external influences can have mysterious powers.

I adore what the colour pink does for me!

Pink PUMPS ME!
Today I will make sure that something that is PINK will be against my skin, reminding me…
 
 

Today I will stimulate delight and bliss.

Another gathering of men learning to touch, men seeking the wisdom of their body. I am smiling at the thought.

Today will be filled with Joy as we wander onto the Ecstatic Path. This is the work of men understanding and playing in their unfathomable desire. When men access the loving places that reside in them without shame the result is astounding and surprising.

Living on the Ecstatic Path and sharing the delight of discovery with like-minded men.  Honour the Divine within and welcoming all that shows up.

Namaste ❤
