Breathing

I have come down from the previous anxiety (yesterday’s rant).  It put me in mind of Savasana (yogic corpse pose).  Orienting oneself in this pose requires the flexing and releasing of groups of muscles for the purpose of establishing complete relaxation, followed by Pranayama, mindful breathing.

After I posted my tirade, I was then able to observe the emotional anxiety present, and now receding, and now gone.  If you are an occasional reader, and my post from yesterday turned you off, I apologize.  The verbage employed served a getting off of the anger, and I truly don’t care about how people vote, who wins the election or what dance the politicians do.  These are yet more distractions.  It all keeps us so busy that we are not inclined to relax and breathe–the  only action (inaction, actually) necessary for ascension.

What happens in this election will have no effect whatsoever on whether or not I grow spiritually, except in having the opportunity to mindfully let it go, forgive all what I consider to be grievances and wrongdoings involved in the process, and send love and blessings to each and every person involved.

I remember, now, that things only have the meaning I give them, and these things mean we are growing and learning on a level where profound positive change is always in progress.  Love (God) lurks just behind the veil of illusion that we mistake for reality.  See how far I stilll have to go?

Much like it is with addiction and sobriety, I must be sick before I can experience recovery.  And it becomes more and more apparent that in this life, recovery is the most productive and self-changing vehicle of all.

God Bless the Whole World.

“The Master Key System”, Healthy Hearts, and Baby Returns!

I’m embarking on a course of study, which outlines a 24-step (one a week) program for understanding the universal laws and facilitating the application of these laws. It’s a teeny book, and would be easy for me to breeze through the text in a day or so. But I am disciplining myself to patiently follow the steps as indicated. The first exercise, after studying the lesson, is to sit perfectly still for 15 to 30 minutes. This is funny. Sitting still is what I do best—it’s getting up and moving that is a challenge!! To be fair, I don’t actually sit still, as a rule. I’m usually knitting, spinning or stroking a cat or two. But sitting nonetheless. So, not a real stretch.

I will be journaling my progress on this and sharing new insights and revelations, of course.

Yesterday, we took a trip to Morgantown for my daughter, Rose, to attend her annual cardiology clinic. She has a ventricular septal defect (a hole in the wall between the two chambers). She has never had to have surgery, but did some heavy duty meds her early years, and has to be monitored. For the first time ever (she’s 25), the doc did NOT order an echo, and recommended that she NOT need antibiotic prophylactics for dental work any more. He said the murmur was barely perceptible, but she still needs to see him once a year. Amazing healing.

My cat, Baby, who is 15 years old, and has been AWOL since we took Charlotte back to Michigan (early Aug?) showed up yesterday. I’m happy that she’s not dead, but she heated up my lap the whole evening, and slept on top of me all night. When she’s not having physical contact, she’s yelling at me. In cat years, I think we’re close to the same age right now, but she isn’t on the same page with it. Aging, that is. I couldn’t get her to run even one lap!

Speaking of running, I have been doing time only for the last week, and not counting distance. For the lungs, right now. The 5k is next Sat (9/15). I may just keep running for an hour each time and not count distance at all. Feeling really good about it, too.

Be abundantly blessed with love and gratitude.
