Flowing

Allowing the flow of life rather that creating a blockage.

Today I will float on the current of 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.

Pink Tour – What does this mean?

Today a friend challenged me to illustrate a particular point about leading and the power and passion involved in moving forward. This forward motion can be about my life but often in this moment it is really about my moving my life forward in conjunction with other aspects and elements of my community and those that are around me. I so very often do not see or experience myself as a leader when I very much am leading. Often I have no idea that i am mentoring and modelling a particular group and way of being when it sees to come naturally.

I can no longer wait for someone else to lead the way because I am already on my way. Join me on the BIG PINK TOUR BUS

The illustrative point of this analogy of the BIG PINK TOUR BUS is that the whole thing is kind of like ME driving the bus. I am no longer a passenger, I am the driver. I work for my own tour company so the tours are really my choice. Being a savvy operator I always check with those around me to see what they would like. I am actually the leader and the one moving the whole operation ahead, setting the course and direction, creating the tone.

Funny thing is I very often don’t know exactly where the bus is going but I do know that I want the trip to be fun, uplifting an unpredictable and joyful experience.

The JOURNEY is really important, the DESTINATION not so much. Dancing on the Ecstatic path… rather than forging my way through and having the path be a particular way before setting out.

My BIG PINK bus!

On the Banquet Table of life today – Motion.

mo·tion

noun

1.

the action or process of moving or of changing place or position; movement.
2.

power of movement, as of a living body.
3.

the manner of moving the body in walking; gait.
4.

a bodily movement or change of posture; gesture.
5.

a proposal formally made to a deliberative assembly:

I am really referring to the first definition, the action or process of moving.

Yesterday was full of motion on many fronts, the primary front was in a creative realm and I found I was moving with a great momentum within creating big pieces of my mission, my dream.

There is nothing like the forward motion involved in creativity. This forward motion is very straight ahead and direct, and is very reassuring to me. However with creativity there is also a lot of chaotic motion. This chaotic motion is actually full of fun and at the same time freaks me out because it is not straight forward and is not at all reassuring for me. The chaotic motion involved in creativity is a where the fun is. The chaotic motion is where there is much that is unknown and unpredictable. I must relinquish my sense of control and balance in the chaotic motion and simple allow for trust.

Today I will feel pleasure in the unexpected and in the unknown. I will seek a creative and juicy path. I will trust and feel joy. -♥-

ECSTASY : a state of being beyond reason and self-control

Being beyond reason is foreign, unknown; however, it is not undesirable. Beyond self-control is even more familiar and almost unfathomable. There is no other place that I would rather be than in a state of ecstasy.

Ecstatic and Sexy at the same time could be a lot of fun. That would look like sexy beyond reason and self- control. That might look a little different from all the controls and reason that I typically have in place.

Today I will allow for beyond reason and self-control. Today I will let myself be ecstatic.

Choice today is a Powerful Place to be!

I am on my way home after a weekend of service. I had the honour to serve for a workshop called Power Surrender and Intimacy. I had a joy filled time. I was surprised to find that I could change my beliefs, change my outlook and change my experience. It was very simple, all I needed to do was dive into the place in myself where I could make a choice. Sometimes it was very simple and sometimes it was immensely complex. The simplicity of choosing to choose became more and more clear as the weekend went by.

Today I will be in the absolute fluidity of being able and willing to CHOOSE!

Practicing being FLUID

Today I will practice and experiment with being fluid. I am working to be more spontaneous, more flexible, more easy-going.

The focus is on being more…. more me first! More acknowledging and authentic with my desire,my curiosity and my sense of fun. The knowledge that springs from this is to be less attached.Less attached to any outcome, judgement or rigidity.

Becoming fluid and flowing… ❤ Love the Juicy Heart

Bliss

Today I will explore how to prolong my state of Bliss. How to extend that which I opened up yesterday. Today I will extend the sensual pleasure into realms without touch. My pleasure will be in my vision, my awareness, what I let into my body. Today I will open and reopen the places in my being that opened yesterday. The state of bliss, seems to me, to be connected to the cracking open of my heart, the radiance of my passion, the removal of the encrustations of shame. When I am shameless and feeling everything I can be in a sustained feeling of Bliss and therefore Joyful.

Today I will dance on the ecstatic path with bliss ~ and a smile. ❤

Kindness and Truth.

Expressing Kindness and Truth can be a path to unconditional positive regard. Being able to hold oneself with kindness and tell oneself the truth  in a kind way, can lead to holding oneself with a view of unconditional positive regard. Being compassionate with oneself can work as a model to be more able to be compassionate with others.

LOVE ~ the JUICY Heart ❤

Today I will do my best to hold myself kindly and to tell myself the truth in a kind way.
