Dancing on the Ecstatic Path ~ Bridging the energy of Earth and Sky with the Energy of the Heart

Taking action

Taking action helps. Taking action STOPS the freight train of procrastination. Taking action lets me feel and know that I am doing what I need to do. Taking action keeps me in the track.

Today I will continue to take action and grow the life I so desire.

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. -♥-

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 – 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.

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.

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.
