This is a 30-minute video I just viewed a little while ago. It speaks of things you can do to detox yourself, both body and mind. One of the things Nithyananda brings up is in regards to the kinds of food you eat. I've been hearing a lot lately about the value of organic food, and the normal reaction I have to this is that organic food is so much more expensive. Now, the interesting thing that comes back to me is related to margarine and butter. Many years ago I felt that butter was too expensive for me to include in my grocery expenses. However, some information I read a while ago led me to decide to stop purchasing margarine and start getting butter instead. Well, guess what? Making that financial adjustment was easier than I thought it would be. So, if my goal is to increase my level of enlightenment, then why shouldn't the Universe support it?

This is feeling very right to me.

My life is definitely taking a sharp dive into the spiritual. On YouTube, I'd been subscribed to and watching a lot of the videos by "Arcturus Ant," and he further led me to a woman called "MaNithya Sudevi," who I've also subscribed to and watching. And now Sudevi has further led me to Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam of the LifeBliss Foundation! Lots of valuable content in all this, and it's very exciting to me!

MaNithya recommends a 21-day retreat that the LifeBliss Foundation does called "Inner Awakening." I've explored the pamphlet covering this retreat and I'm very, very interested in participating. A couple of days ago, after watching my first Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam video, I became so very quiet. It wasn't a forced thing at all, and in addition, the things that normally are irritating to me weren't at all. It was like the Universe was telling me to pay attention to Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam's influence on me--a very calming, peaceful, positive influence! After such an event, how could I not be interested in attending this retreat?

So now my thoughts are upon withdrawing from my normal protesting of what I perceive as the injustices in our world. And indeed, I have started doing just that. If you were to look at my Facebook page a week ago, and compare it to how it's been the last few days, you would see a great difference. I've started to see that to focus on my own inner peace is probably a whole lot more important. I will be continuing to consider this.

For anyone who's interested in investigating the Inner Awakening program, here is a link.

Namaste' to all of you!

Haven't been here in a while, but that's typically how I blog. I do it regularly for a while, and then I stop for a while.

But today has contained a gargantuan "aha!" moment that I really must share. I think it's one of those understandings that one must experience, rather than read, in order to really comprehend just how big it is.

All these years, I've known that Love Is The Most Important Thing. Plus I knew that we must embrace our enemies, regardless of how much they bother us.

Today, I really "got it."

Today I believe I understand that we truly all are One. Today I believe I truly understand that there is no Us and Them. Today I believe I understand that there is only "Us." When there is a perception that there is "them," then that is truly the time to be in a space of Love and to shine it out--envelope!--"them" with it. Love, compassion, acceptance. Give it to "them" freely. For in giving to "them," we give it to all of Us.

This is so exciting to me!

Namaste'

Just watched a movie called "Diary of A Single Mom." The bottom line is that she had been through much drama and many challenges but she was determined to make things better for herself and for her children, not to mention the people she cared about. The movie itself wasn't so great, but boy, did it give me some insights! Her focus was mainly on those around her, but at the same time, she was learning to care about making things better for herself, too. It gave me a lot to think about and really pushed its message straight through to the part of me that needs to pay attention.

The interesting thing is that over the past few days, things are springing up to show me that improvements are in the air. These improvements are things that are important to me, and the whole scenario is so very exciting to me! It really feels like these things are in my reach. I don't quite know how they've manifested, because there is more than one possibility, but it doesn't really matter. What does matter is that they are happening.

Plus I'm starting to really speak up about things that are important to me. I have a letter in the works to the interim ECISD superintendent regarding some suggestions I have, and I'm also going to be seeing Mrs. Young--my supervisor at school--regarding some things I want to bring up about work. I'm really finding my voice and I'm taking charge of how things can go for myself.

Excited! Proud of myself! Moving forward!

Life has taken an exciting turn. My focus is on the spiritual, and Spirit is guiding me to information that is SO relevant to me. Plus resources for things I need/want are manifesting. I am so excited about this! Makes me wonder what will be happening in my life by the time the summer break is over.

I've been having a strong experience of metamorphosis this evening. It's kind of unsettling, but at the same time, it gives me the feeling of expectation, of "what's going to happen next?"

With the exception of my breakfast, I've not eaten well today at all. I may redeem myself a bit tonight and eat an apple. But junk food has pretty much been my staple today. Oh, and I've had a decent amount of water today, too, which is good.

I've been doing a lot of metaphysical reading and viewing today. The main message I'm getting from it all is to honor my experience, allow others to have their experiences even though their views may not match mine, and if I don't agree with how others see things, chalk it up to contrast and, as I like to say, "let them be there." It's not up to me to dishonor another person's path and growth. It's not for me to judge anyone, but it is appropriate for me to learn more about myself in the viewing of other people's experiences. The lessons I take away from other peoples' lives may be completely different from how they see it, and that's absolutely okay. When Jesus said "Judge not," that's part of what he was talking about!

I've had an urge to really get down to reading the Qu'ran. I have a lot of respect for Islam, but I don't know anything about its religious book, and really, I can't give a good debate about anything having to do with it unless I have a good foundation. So I really need to do that.

Namaste' to all of you!

So yeah, I did indeed take it easy today. I didn't make the chocolate cake, though; probably another time.

I was watching the movie called "Good Deeds" with Tyler Perry a little while ago. It got me thinking about the "Prince Charming" concept, where a guy comes along and saves the damsel in distress. Yeah, I'll admit I've wished for that at times. It's no fun struggling when those kinds of challenges come to me, but at the same time, as I've said before, I get a little humorous and say that the Creator is giving me a huge compliment because s/he knows that I can deal with it.

So this is the bottom line: the Prince Charming IS ME. I have all those resources in me already and I have to know that and claim it and aim my eyes towards it. I have a certain lifestyle as my goal, but at the same time, I have this idea in my way that to achieve it requires lots of drama and difficulty. My Love and I have started to develop a picture of how we choose our life together to be; we can choose for that life to come to us with difficulty, or with ease. Needless to say, for it to come to us with ease would be very nice!

Here is an idea: What if I just decide that the life we choose comes to us easily?
