Today Om wrote........"A Seperate Reality"

By -
Like many of you, I am on the receiving end of 'daily' emailed messages. 'Daily Om' is one of my favorites. Usually I scan over the email looking for key phrases to see if the entire page is worth the full read and this morning it was. It is about being disconnected from the Universe. I kept reading because I wasn't sure I agreed with the author that one could become disconnected. As I read on, I realized exactly where the author was going a gave them a thumbs up. The numb feeling, the everything is a blur sensation, the autopilot feeling is the disconnect. The solution to the disconnect problem is the best part of the article, the author wrote: 'You may also want to make a list of the activities and kinds of experiences that touch your soul. Try to pinpoint the times when you have felt fully engaged and aware and ask yourself what you were doing.' I might have added, do it. Do it now.
Frankly, I know there are a lot of numb people, and as the author suggests, disconnected people;but, I don't believe we can possibly ever become disconnected from the Universe, from the Matrix of energy and potential, perhaps when we go numb, we are just in kind of like a screen saver mode.
There have been zillions of fully engaged and aware times but I would have to say the most memorable were skydiving, learning to make ceviche and watching a little girl interact with our dog Buddha. How about you?
Love and Light to all!

How true, Robyn. Disassociation (that feeling of being disconnected and watching our life instead of living it) robs us of so much of the depth of experience. My hypnosis teacher, Dick Sutphen, puts a lot of emphasis on aliveness and finding new challenges. To me to seek that is better than accepting a sterile (and dead) sense of security. Thanks so much for sharing this.

The Peace Sign

By -

Today I was driving in my jeep with the top down. Wearing my red bandanna and groovy sun glasses, I cruised flying high on an over pass. As I came down the ramp, I felt like I defined freedom. I wanted to throw my hands straight up in the air like I was on a ride at an amusement park, for safety sake, instead I let a primal scream soar up to the blue sky filled with billowing white clouds. The young man in the car behind me roared past me with his moon roof open. He must have felt it too, freedom. He stretched one hand high trough the open roof and gave me the peace sign. Ah, a kindred spirit I thought, smiling bright, I extended my left hand high waving "Peace" to my brother then I laughed uncontrollably. According to Wikipedia,the Peace sign or the "V" sign,or the “victory sign,” is a hand gesture with the index and middle fingers open and all others closed. It was used as a sign for victory during the Second World War by Winston Churchill, originally with palm in

A Positive Spin

By -
     Bad things don't happen to me; but, when itching, pain, burning, body aches, nausea, and head aches continue to linger from a spider bite; I wonder.  In the spirit of positivity, I decided to rally and spin some light on the event. According to Louise Hay, "Spiders carry creation energy, a perfect metaphor for spring, when we blossom anew from marrow."  My bite is on the lower jaw, under my chin.  Could it be a message to take it on the chin? Is there something creative I need to chew on? Yes, yes indeed.      Maybe the bite was a direct message from the Universe.  At a totem website I found, "The bite of a poisonous spider symbolizes a death/rebirth process. Poison enters the nervous system and the body either transmutes it or falls victim to its venom and dies." There will be no dying here, not in the literal sense anyway. Where am I dying and being reborn in my life I wonder?      Shamanic teacher Nicki Scully, writes, "Spiders communicate with

Next stop for Dade grad with palsy: Harvard

The story that you are about to read speaks volumes to our human potential. A very dear friend of mine had the pleasure of working with this young man during the past few years and employed various routines using aromatherapy, massage therapy, movement therapy and swimming. I hope that you will read this and be as touched as I was! Kevin Mintz rolled his electric wheelchair up to the podium in the middle of the stage Friday. He looked down at his white graduation gown and then addressed the crowd, his speech slow and labored. The teenagers in the audience, buzzing with restless energy minutes earlier, quickly hushed. In the front row, his parents held hands and smiled: Their son, who will never walk, who they once feared would never even talk, had risen to the top of his Robert Morgan Educational Center class -- and was tapped to address the student body at the Pharmed Arena at Florida International University. Next, he is headed to Harvard on a full scholarship. Kevin, 18, has cereb
