How do you express
gratitude to your body?

Be love, be grateful, be you.

In the past few years, I think the point has been made that the lives we have created around us are just way too complicated.

Our current economic crisis proves that what we have created is a situation where our priorities are really just out of order.

We spend too much money, waste too much time, we stimulate ourselves into oblivion, and then take energy pills, red bull, and espresso shots to keep ourselves going. Something needs to change in this scenario.

And, the economic crisis has made this clear.

We need to reprioritize our lives. We need to figure out what is most important. I don’t want to tell you that it’s not OK to seek things in life that bring you pleasure. But, we need to grow out of the instant gratification model of over consumption and waste and acknowledge our responsibility to ourselves, our loved ones, and the world around us.

The point is that finding ways to simplify our lives is what’s most important. We need to kind of break the fabric down and rebuild.

I find this to be a pretty common sentiment among those that I talk to. On a whole, we are beginning to realize this. And, if there is any lesson that we can take out of the financial crisis, this is it.

We spend too much, we seek external pleasure that lasts but a moment, and never look at those things that will bring us true internal and lasting feelings of bliss. For a long time, I was no different.

In many ways, I have come to believe that life is simply about growth and learning. As human beings, the ultimate search is for the divine presence within us. The problem is that monetary gain, obtaining physical possessions, the ecstasy of orgasm, the heightened sense awareness created by hallucinogenic drugs….even lying blissed out in front of the television…has come to represent and take the place of the search for that inner divinity.

What is needed is to stop, center ourselves, and realize that the God presence is within us all.

We need to clear our lives of the clutter, clear our bodies of toxins, uplift ourselves in oneness, as well as in our relationships.

I seek pleasure in simplifying and focusing the goals of my life. There is great power in focusing our attention.

I seek to exalt myself through yoga, meditation, exercise, raw foods, good friends, and a focused engagement with life.

What else do we really need?

You don’t have to do what I do. But, some of the lessons you might learn from taking a look at my offerings may reveal some lessons that spark something in you.

And, if you want to learn a very simple approach to health, look no further than the Hacking the Body Mind Protocol which is outlined in the e-book for sale at my website.

It explains all of the things I have learned about over the years that contribute to lasting health andmvitality, and that will help you become clear on where you are headed in your life.

Take a look at what it has to offer.

For so many, as we begin to re establish changes in our lives, the realization hits that health must become a priority. We start to realize that without health, the big house, the Ferrari in the driveway, and that gorgeous yacht just doesn’t mean much.

Then, it becomes an uphill battle toward actually figuring out what information is good and what is not.

The point of the Hacking the Body Mind protocol was to break it all down to a very simple approach so that anyone could achieve wonderful results without all the technical back and forth.

Cheers to you and your new approach to living.

Peace, Love, Life!

The first thought is about privacy.  Facebook is such a freaky thing.  I’ll admit there was a time when I was really into celebrity blogs.  I visited Perez Hilton and Celebrity Baby Blog numerous times during the day.  Since I joined Facebook I rarely visit those sites.   Reading about people I know, knew, or hope to know seems to scratch that itch for me.  This week I’ve noticed a couple of cryptic status updates from folks.  They give away just enough information to make you go WAIT, WHAT?  They stir up a reaction.  Visiting the individual’s pages you see a line of people asking how they are and what’s going on.  I find myself wondering if it is better or worse that we have this public spotlight for our private matters.  On one hand you get lots of support, but is it real support?

Another issue on my mind is parent/child relationships.  In the novel I am currently writing the main character is 15 and very close with her father.  She talks to him and he listens, they respect each other, and sometimes they even act as if they are friends.    When I look around me at my husband, my friends, and the men in my church these are the kinds of fathers I see, ones who are generally interested in relating to their children.  But in response to my writing someone called the relationship weird.  So I’m wondering if I am just delusional.   Have we moved away from the “kids are to be seen and not heard” idea or not?  Is it possible for a girl to be friends with her dad or do I have some re-writing to do?

The last thought is how I’ve been a bit swallowed up.  I finally started writing this novel and it is all I can think about.  It sits in the back of my mind no matter what I am doing.  The Ray’s and White’s are demanding my attention.  I have a lot of mixed feelings on this.  On one hand it is fabulous because after a year of only writing blog posts and essays I am writing fiction again.  But it is also distracting me and I find myself losing track of my schedule, forgetting things, and neglecting healthy habits because my mind is elsewhere.  My vision of this project is exciting though.  I wonder if I can see it through.  Once it is complete I wonder what will become of it.  At writing group last night I was reminded of the work still left to do and the writing time I need but don’t have.  I have to admit, it’s frustrating and scary to think I may be traveling a path leading to a dead end, just one more book collecting cyber-dust on a shelf in my hard drive.

So that’s what’s on my mind today.  Just a few incomplete thoughts….

I am still in a meditative state after the Crystalline Grid call last night. It was a real blessing to hear that some major force is now activated, the Crystalline Grid itself, and this emboldens Love and Loving thoughts and facilitates loving states in more effortless ways. Love is God and God is Love.Love was the gospel of Jesus and all of the saints of every religion. Love is Universal truth.

Len Laskow is a bearer of Love. I can hardly wait to tell him about the Crystalline Grid. He may already know about it. We will all plug into it at our "Opening to Oneness Through Love" workshop 8/13-15/2010, at the Blue Heron Farm Spiritual Retreat Center!

It's almost as if this grid is a place where we ground the energy of love which is spreading now in the sphere of human consciousness. Love, when grounded, can then align and center itself, herself into our etheric bodies, where there is no separation. The activated Crystalline Grid is an energy that no one can ignore. It is a massive life force, and the only choice is to go with the energy. Working against this energy is a self-destructive act.

I imagine a non-physical energy that more and more people will be feeling, in states of compassion and empathy. More and more, desires for solitude will be yearned for instead of feared.

More and more, creative states will be ignited and amazing art forms will spring from the imagination to the canvas, or from the musical instrument, or to the blank white page.

These are the breath of God/ess.

Om Peace Amen
