Meditation

I began reading Spiritual Growth by Sanaya Roman again this week.
I thought of reading it on Sunday night, and then early in the week, a friend of mine happened to mention the book and I thought I really ought to pick it up again.

While I am very good at quieting my mind, I have not actually felt the presence of my guide or guides yet, and I don’t even have a name in mind. So I am still in chapter one.

Sometimes I journal my IB which writes better than when I try to listen only, as in meditation.
I guess the process doesn’t matter, just the results.

I was also perusing YouTube and found a great instructional Kirtan Kriya Meditation.

I like this because it causes my mind to focus on a sound, thus releasing resistance which is my ultimate goal!

The one practice which never fails me is placing a piece of dark smooth Belgian chocolate on my tongue, closing eyes and remaining as motionless as possible until chocolate completely melts.

Curried red kidney beans and Cauliflower

I cooked Curried Red Kidney Beans and Cauliflower (Rajma Masala) found in the Sunset magazine, and I have to say it is absolutely fragrant and tasty!

If all vegetarian dishes were this delicious I would eat more vegetables!!!!

The Divine Matrix

It’s Sunday and I am reading The Divine Matrix by Gregg Braden which is deliciously along the lines of what I have to come to know and understand about consciousness and existence.
Nothing in this book surprises me, and everything delights me, because Science is beginning to understand what we have all known intuitively for eons now.
The thing that did make me smile was a Neville quote in Chapter 3 “Imagination creates reality… man is all imagination.”
Prior to purchasing and reading The Divine Matrx, I was also reading three books by Neville…

Yesterday as I was about to leave the house, I impulsively wrote in my journal I wanted phone calls from two specific people that day.
Later on when I returned home, the said two people had called and left messages shortly after I had journaled the entry.

So what are you thinking about right now? Because whatever it is you are creating it, so make sure it is something you want!

Mango Couscous with Green Onion and Sesame Parchment Baked Fish

My dinner menu for last night came from Oprah Magazine and Sunset Magazine.
I paired them together and they were not only easy to prepare but scrumptious as well.

You may fine the recipe for the fish here http://food.sunset.com/sunset/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1575587

My Ah-ha moment today!

I had a huge Ah-ha moment today during quiet time.

I realized that it was better to feel pissed off and revengeful for stuff not manifesting, than it is to try and justify why I want, what I want!

Feeling pissed off, revengeful, angry and just plain old 'hollering at the Universe' is flowing downstream, while searching for reasons in order to justify why I want what I want is flowing upstream on a frozen river to boot!!!!

That is sooooooooooooooo hard! And yet we do it. Why is that?

My internet was down today. I unplugged, hit the reset button did all kinds of things to get it up and running, I rattled off a list of reasons why I needed it to work and it didn't come up.
Finally, I swore up and down, cussed and yelled until I felt unequivocally better and immediately it came up!

I had a new vibrational set point, that had nothing to do with Charter Communication, it was all about my own consciousness in the stream....
