Laughing

Laughing

~ Do it yourself

Learn the laughing meditation in three easy steps.

 

Limber: Stretch your muscles as you exhale, relax briefly as you inhale, then stretch again and exhale. Repeat this a couple of times as you reach over your head. For the last-minute, push the fingers of one hand back with the other hand while you stretch your facial muscles by making funny faces and grimaces—without laughing.

 

Laugh: Smile, and slowly, without forcing yourself, laugh with a relaxed throat. Laugh softly at first, then louder until you’re bellowing heartily from your belly. Don’t force anything. Allow it to happen. In the final minute, close your eyes and continue to laugh.

 

Release: With your eyes closed, suddenly stop laughing and breathe without making a sound. Each time you notice you’re thinking of something, let the thought go and focus your attention on your body. Whatever you feel, notice it and allow it.

Max Christern, editor of Ode’s Dutch edition, never needed a laughing meditation to find his inner giggler.

Laughing can help… and besides I might be able to take myself less seriously if I laughed from my belly many times per day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today I will laugh and smile.

BE 2 -♥- Juicy Heart

Posted: December 5, 2011 in Random

Many have asked “What my big take away from the weekend has been?”
The biggest knowing that I have is that I need to embody all of the change and development that I want to see. ♥

If I want something I must forge ahead and create it. ♥  You must be the change you wish to see in the world. ~Ghandi

If I want something done I must move ahead and do it. ♥ Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.  ~ Jobs

I have no one else but myself and I must stand into the space that I have so deftly carved. ! ♥ YES I HAVE BEEN INVITED AND NOW I MUST GRACIOUSLY ACCEPT! ♥

I see the next step as standing into the Leader Role shaping it as I need and standing in the GLORY of CREATION!

This is going to be a very interesting and JOY FULL ride!

Channelling Heaven and Earth with the ENERGY of the Heart

 
♥ Dancing on the Ecstatic Path! ♥

Today as I transition I will have lots of time to reflect with myself about what this pretty momentous weekend has delivered to me.

There are two elements floating in my being at this moment.

The first is if you want something there is no one more important in “getting” what you want that yourself. If I want something to change I will have to change to begin, inspire, create the change that I want…

The second is how shocked I was to see how difficult it was for me to feel and be a part of… I know that for those of you who know me this is pretty obvious; however, I was challenged to find my place in a group so diverse… at the same time I come out of this knowing that I will need to lead… So if I am a part of or not I know that there are several challenges ahead for ME to BE.

Love the universe at this moment and loving my place in it… So looking forward to what is unfolding for me and those I am near…

You must ask for what you really want... DON'T go back to sleep" Rumi

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!
