Building – Growing – Constructing – Fabricating – Enhancing

Having a day to feel all there is in the Ecstatic Dance of life. I choose to build and grow, developing the strands of life that allow for a richer and more embodied and engaged experience.

 The day will unfold and I will construct, fabricate and enhance the rich elements of life that come my way. I choose this over the darker side which is more destructive seems to unravel me. I will build my day weaving together all that is as I journey my way to the other side.

Today I will find pleasure in the process. I will enjoy and marvel at the construction and build of my day. I will sleep well knowing that I have lived fully for another day.

Imagination – Juicy Heart

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.

Today is weaving both worlds. That of awareness and providing a body.  To weave this magic on more than one level. To be more able to weave this on physical, mental, emotional, heartful, erotic, intuitive and spiritual levels.

This is my goal, my dream, my desire. This is my willingness and action.

Hungry today!

The state of being hungry can be the springboard to NEW.

Being in a state of desire and hunger for something has very often been a great place to start.When I am hungry I generally launch in. When I am hungry I usually am in for the whole meal. When I am hungry and I am cooking I am usually sampling and very much enjoying the act of creation.

I am enjoying all of the hunger that I am able to use as I plan my season for 2012.

Glad today to be hungry and working on my next steps. I am very excited about what I am cooking!

YUM
  1. An expression used to indicate delight in regard to a certain food’s flavor

-♥-

My version: ~ The sound made when releasing through a hum, with the tongue lowered… and expressing delight!

Today I will be in the YUM of release. A day when I take care of chores, the laundry, repositioning all of the supplies from the weekend. Today I will take care of all of this and be in the YUM of the release from the weekend. YUM … -♥- … YUM … -♥- … YUM

And I can smile and be grateful all at the same time…

Surrendering into a State of Gratitude.

Today will be filled with the replacement and replenishment of all of the little detailed elements that came into use and play over the weekend.

My gratitude and joy for how the universe unfolded over the weekend has placed me in a place and state where taking care of all of the little details seems so full of ease. My sense of gratitude allows for the closing and final elements to fall away and apart and dissolve into the planning for what comes next. This continuous rhythm gives me stability and eases whatever small contractions or constraints there might be in the final bits of closing,  while the next opening begins.

Today I will let the Gratitude flow and power me.

Adventure.

Adventure is a key ingredient in the Juiciness of a heart full of passion. When I stay in an adventuresome being I am able to be more curious. I might suddenly vear off the path, I might be a little erratic, I might race ahead or dawdle along. The course of the adventure is never really known and there are many surprises along the way. I adore playing in the unknown and being startled and teased by the many surprises. 

Sometimes the adventures might even be in LOVE! I adore being able to LOVE as if it was a big adventure!

Today I will play in the Adventure of LOVE and LIFE

♥♥♥♥♥

thrill

1.

to affect with a sudden wave of keen emotion or excitement, as to produce a tremor or tingling sensation through the body.
2.

to utter or send forth tremulously, as a melody.
 
I like that thrill is so connected to a movement in the body, especially a movement in my body.

Joy FULL – Juicy Heart

Joy FULL – Filled with Joy.

When I purposefully put Joy into my thoughts, consciousness, heart, I can feel the change. I can feel my mood shift.

When I feel myself becoming filled with anxiety, overwhelm or debilitating administrative thoughts, I think of something joyful, playful, something that will make me smile and I can feel the shift the change. Within that change I can begin to fill with dreamy thoughts, big thoughts and much more affirming material. I can take a breath and change my mind.

I love my mind, I can change it in a moment. I can fill, evacuate and refill all within my grasp, my ability to be powerful.

Today I will be Joy Full. I will continually fill my mind and my being with Joy.
