15 minute blog: Ready .. GO!

Tonight I am writing about God.  Enlightenment.  I'm writing from my living room in Glenview, Illinois .. a place in which I used to think God didn't exist.  People seemed so angry here .. unhappy, unfulfilled and, for some reason, always in a big hurry (LOTS of horn-honking).  But I have discovered, recently, that I was wrong about that.  God IS here.  Big time.  Bigger than life.  Haha .. when ISN'T God bigger than life : ) Which is my point, exactly.

Life is right here .. on this ground (if you tune in, you can actually feel the pull of gravity holding you to the Earth,  Go ahead and try it .. ). I'd like to invite you to float right up out of your body and hover about 5 or so feet above where you are sitting or standing.  Now, take a slow, deep, comprehensive breath and feel yourself enjoy the weightlessness of your position.

And now, look down at your Earth-bound self, and select out the biggest problem you can think of that have right now.  G'head .. I'll wait (I have 9 more minutes .. I'll give you one of them) ..

Ok, got it?  Good.  I want you, now, to raise your chosen problem all the way up to where you are floating and toss it high in the air a few times allowing the sun's warmth to absolutely fill it with golden light.

After it is fully illumined, start to allow its gentle descent ..

.. and as it alights back down to the Earthly you, feel it ease sweetly into the top of your head (still sun-soaked, of course).  As it makes its way down through your being .. allow it to stop in the spot just above your heart.  This is the place in which your feeling of well-being dwells.  Allow the light it is holding to spread through you.  Feel it spread through your throat, your chest, and your arms (all the way down to your fingertips) .. then feel it work its way down through your solar plexus, belly, pelvis, thighs, legs and feet, and, hey, while you're at it, feel roots grow from the bottoms of your feet down into the earth .. really feel that connection you have to what the Mother Earth has to offer you in the way of nourishment and support.

Sun from above, nutrients from below, you are set, now, with God's blessing  ..

The moral of the story?  God IS bigger.  Remember that.  Let The Light soak your problems until they are illumined.  Keep breathing.  Breathing in that same light.  It's really nice.  And it works.

Now is an intense time in the history of our evolution.  The heat is ON.  Inside and out.  How do we lighten our vehicles (our bodies/selves) in order to customize our ride in a way that is more aligned to the times?


I want to tell you to get a notebook and write when you're upset.  When you're mad or sad, frustrated, hopeless, envious or even just tired.  Emotion is INFORMATION .. it tells you that what you are believing is either IN alignment with your highest good or it's not.


Answering the following questions will bring you IN to alignment .. Utilize them after you have written about your challenges .. physical, emotional, relational, financial .. any and all ..


State your full name:

Where do you live?

Are you happy living there?

Is there somewhere you would rather be living?

If so, where .. and why?

Are you happy with your home?

If you answered affirmatively, take a moment to really feel the feeling of happiness in your body.  What you are looking for is any sensation of yumminess .. it will, most likely, show up in your chest, your belly, the space just between your chest and your throat (your thymus) or your jaw .. and don't fret if you don't feel it (yet) .. eventually you will.

If you replied with anything less than a yes, why aren't you happy with it?

How would you rather have it?

What do you do with your weekdays?  How do you spend most of your time?

Do you feel fulfilled with the way you spend your days?

How about your week nights, how do you spend most of your week night time?

Do you feel fulfilled with the way you spend your week nights?

How about your weekends?

Do you feel fulfilled with the way you spend your weekends?

What are some things you'd like to be doing with your time that would bring you more fulfillment?  List as many as you can think of:

Do you ever take time/space for yourself?

If you do, describe it.

If you don't, can you say why?

Do you wish you could have more time/space for yourself?

List 5 things that you feel are getting in the way of your ultimate fulfillment -

Try and get an image of these things pulling away from you like clouds of smoke and blowing away in a strong wind, far up into the sky until they are out of your sight.  (If you can't yet, don't worry. Trying is the first step in achieving.)
