Pleasure has been in the forefront for the past few days.

My great pleasure has actually been the meditative art of pressing Saris. Having cleaned these beautiful cloths that had adorned my body, they needed to be pressed. Doing this seeming chore was actually a meditative and delightful pursuit. Pressing the yards and yards of fabric woven, embroidered, painted and decorated allowed me to delve into an area where I had slowed down and there was little intrusion into my mind or other levels of my body.  Having brought my mind to rest, allowed for me to feel the pleasure that was there under the jumble of thoughts.

Pressing the Saris was a beautiful experience.

Today I will be in the simple beauty of restful pleasure.

Beauty Bestowed...

Today is about Pleasure

What brings and delivers pleasure to me? What edifice do I have to break apart to allow pleasure?

Simple delight… the Pleasure in Beauty…

Today I will dive in deep and experience the pleasures around me. ❤

Preparing – Juicy Heart

This time of year is always like the beginning to me. Transition is in the air.

The earth is preparing for the fall, trees and fruit and flowers are pulling the juice from the earth to enrich themselves, the light is changing in the sky, the weather moves in unfamiliar patterns and I feel like this is the transition into a new time.

And YES! this really is the transition into a new time. There is much to prepare for and lots to dream and scheme and plot and plan and get ready for. I pull the juice from my earth to ripen and enrich my experience.

September will bring a Body Electric workshop to Toronto that we have not had in many years. October will bring some new events into my coaching practice. November will bring some new elements as the Body Electric is here in Toronto again and I will be introducing some new elements into my breath and bodywork practice. December brings a trip to a meeting to plan for the NEW Body Electric and I am excited and happy for this great opportunity.

The real New Year will bring many new elements, several co-creations and of course there will be surprise.

I adore that all around me is getting ready for harvest. The fruit on the vine and branch is developing juice and flesh to burst forth with the ripe sweetness of the fall.

Today I will savour the summer and be active in preparing for the next transition. Loving and laughing and smiling as I live and breath.

Inspiration today comes from:

The Summer Day

by Mary Oliver

 

Who made the world?

Who made the swan, and the black bear?

Who made the grasshopper?

This grasshopper I mean—

the one who has flung herself out of the grass,

the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,

who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down—

Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.

Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.

I don’t know exactly what a prayer is.

I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down

into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,

how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,

which is what I have been doing all day.

Tell me, what else should I have done?

Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?

Tell me, what is it you plan to do

with your one wild and precious life?

Smiling helps… YES it always helps

Today my smile came from Dr. Seuss

“I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”

and another…

“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”

and finally…

Enjoying all the mutual weirdness in my life… ❤

Connections with other BEINGS make my life Juicy. ❤

When I feel connected and present with other beings I feel like my life is of value. When I communicate and give myself to the pleasure of another, I feel my life is connected to other beings. When I feel connected with others and my life, I feel JUICY and liquid and like the fabric of life is immeasurably rich.

Today I will let myself be connected and purposefully connect to whatever BEINGS cross my path. I will weave these connections into the rich and liquid fabric of my existance.

Connections – The richness of the fabric of my life.

Today’s blog is dedicated to my friend Conrad. I am so glad for our visit.

 
 

Knowing I am Loved – Juicy Heart

Knowing I am loved helps me stay in a juicy state.

Knowing that I am loved, seen, understood and most of all included lets me maintain a state or being that allows for more of me to come forward. I am a ravenous little hog when it comes to love and the expressions of love I find around me. The simplest expressions: a smile, an offering, a little note, a tiny expression will reassure me and opens the channel for me to bring my own self love forward. Loving myself and feeling the love of others is a path for me.

All the while, knowing the more I love myself, the more love I will feel from others and the more love I will be able to generate to give to others. A delicious cycle.

Today I will see the love around me and allow for more of the richness of me to intermingle with the cosmic. ❤

Love, God! - A lovely note form a wonderful lover... ❤

Loving the Loverly JUICY Heart.

Today is a day of care for me.

Today I will give myself some extra care. The delight and pleasure of refreshing energy as I prepare for the coming week. The extra care will be in allowing and permissing the dream and action of what lies ahead. I will spend some time today planning and conspiring over possibilities that lie ahead over the next few months.

Today I will be open to the balance of rejuvination. I look forward to the replenishing charge that some dreaming will bring. I relish in the excitement that builds around creating something new.

Home!

Home! Sweet Home is sweet!

I have the urge to sleep for the day. I feel more strongly that the still and deep waters are churning.  I am glad to be home because I can dive in feeling rejuvinated and inspired for what lies ahead. I know I can harvest the power of the deep waters, knowing that the safety and surity of home will help guide my journey.

Today I will follow the path that leads to inspiration and creation all the while trusting that all will manifest.

Travelling JOYFULLY Home

The journey continues as I return home today.

There is a spring in my step and I feel light, excited and happily relieved to be on my way home. Like the little dog in the photo I feel like I am bounding along, paws off the ground, tail in the air!

Today I will travel joyfully filled with the pleasure of returning home to the arms of my husband. ❤

Travelling home with a bounce in my step! August 16, 2011
