Fog Clearing...

Yellow glasses = see in foggy weather...

Yellow headlights, too.

Skiing in a blizzard? = yellow glasses....

Monday morning? (ugh, again?)

Look into the eyes of your partner, gently gaze for 4 or 5 minutes
just sitting in silence, both gazing gently...

And feel
And see

the fog clear...

You may need 20 minutes...

Focus will come gently....

No partner handy? Use a mirror...

Listen in to our shows: www.HolisticRadioShow.com

Over the top...

Fill a 6 ounce glass to the brim with water.
Carrying it your hand, walk a 100 yards with out spilling a drop.

This is focus.

This is a skill.

This exercise will help to quiet the Monkey mind and show how much a Monkey it is...

Try this early in the morning on Sunday when no one else is around on a foot ball field.
Then when you think you have mastered it:
Try it during the week morning when others are around running the track, power walking etc., etc., etc....(Yule Brenner, "King & I" respected ;-) )

Then try it when the high school foot ball team and band are practicing... well I guess you'd better do it then on the sidelines...

If you get really good at it, trying riding a bike - pick a safe area, or better, walk down the midway of a County or State fair, or through a flea market... you get the idea...

Build your focus ability; this is a trainable skill, like riding a bike, flying a plane or glider.
Focus is your laser to success. Ever focused the sun's rays through a magnifying glass and started a piece of paper a flame? Warmth vs power...

In New Mexico - I think is the location- is a massive solar collector -Ah yes, see one of the James bond Movies with this too, a tower on which is focused the sun from many reflective dishes, which is used to create electricity. These dishes track the sun all day - computer controlled to keep focus on two things at the same time - the tower and the dish.

Try this water-in-glass exercise with it filled over the top:
have you heard of a meniscus? It is caused by the surface tension of water.
Cooks know that the bottom of the meniscus needs to be at the 1/2 cup mark if that is the correct measurement of the fluid to be added in the recipe.

Surface tension is a property of water that a surfactant or a "soap" is added to break this tension so that your laundry for example will be cleaned better. It is actually the water that does the cleaning - not the soap...

Keep the tension here, over fill the glass, so the water is actually over the top, and still stays in the glass... just a little over.

Now try these exercises - let me know how it goes for you...
Your focus at work and play will become 'Over the top'

Cheery Day..

Butterflies...

Black & yellow, Iridescent greens
and blues,

small ones, Large Ones,
pink ones too.

Red flowers, white flowers, orange ones and blue...

I love to watch the butterflies sip...
'an dip...
Don't you?

What a wonderful meditation, butterfly gazing...
but unless you live in the remote mountains of southern Mexico, and few hidden places in the out backs of the coastal mountain ranges in California -
You will need to observe these beauties in your mind...

Can you do this? See the butterflies flutter in you mind... dancing from flower to pause a bit and sip... and then to another, and more?

This is a good meditation practice...doing it inside is even more powerful than using your site.
Takes a bit more focus and gentle discipline...

Take anything you like and see it inside...

You may like to have a friend or pro who can actually see auras - observe your's while you go into this practice ~
then after you have completed this playful exercise let you know what they saw...

Play with these things. God loves to play too...

Smile a little... an share one;... too :-)

Om...

the natural vibration of the whole universe in the sound we know as 'OM'
In sanskrit which means the language of the Gods...it is spelled and pronounced A U M and 'a' like father, 'u' like ummmm, 'm' like mommmm...

John begins by in the beginning was the word...
from the primal vibration comes all sound, thought, life ~ no it is life force itself or the sound of the vibrating life force...

Meditation on the sound of Bumble bee's wings or hearing OM in silence is very powerful. Some use OM on the inhale and 'MA' on the exhale.

if you use Om on both, have it flow like oil pouring gently and smoothly,
just Isak Perelman when his bow changes directions on sustained note with no perceptible sound change....

then in this continuous flow you become the universe and
Sat = existence or Truth
Chit = knowledge - primal knowledge of all things ~spontaneous knowing
Ananda = bliss - the elixir absolute... pure joy liquid flowing through all cells of your body and astral body....

Meditate some on 'OM' or 'AUM' you may like the heart center to focus this in
or some may prefer the Third eye...

When I connect my companion self and we invite our High Self to join with us there is the tingling of the spine, as it snaps straight up, and
an indecsribable joy - this i feel is Ananda = pure bliss...

It comes not from another but in another you may connect to your high Self or God as you personally have come to know this connection.

The American Indians called this Great Spirit...

"Inquire who am I
and be free...
you will soon attain immortality..."

Swami Shivananda singing...

OM,
Shalom,
Amen,

Interested? ...

Focus can get boring to a restless mind...

Onions, garlic, fried foods, hot spices, erotic stories etc can inflame the passions and cause the mind to wander.

Over ripe foods, decaying foods, alcohol, fermented foods (except sauerkraut & and Apple cider vinegar -both raw and unpasteurized ) can make the mind sleepy. Same with over eating.

If these are all in relative balance - if you are a hard worker eat garlic, onions, tea, hot spices and develop an interest in
passionate endeavors. Maybe Polo or horse jumping, working out, running, sex with a spiritual twist... something that will focus the mind.

When one falls in love - you don't want to eat, you can only think of the beloved ~ right !  Such powerful focus this is...
In the 'Conscious Art of Loving' the Muir s describe a life full of love focused on each other.

Maybe you want to take up archery, or martial arts, chi gong, tai chi or baseball (with out drugs).

Golf is excellent as it is all about focus...

Perhaps you would enjoy the fine art of perfumery, or flower arraigning.

As you gain some mastery of your main goal, that you are on the journey of creating now, add some more interests

things that do just that keep your:

Interest
(this advise is not the same one living in retreat, meditating and not working - different instructions are needed here)

Living the Dream...

Since there is only 'NOW',

& Your Dream you are traveling towards,
is the journey creating this beauty, this Dream.

You are 'there' ~ right now...

The Journey of creating the Dream is part of the Dream...

(many miss this point- it is mega misunderstood- I think that TV ads of a new pain and its relief in 30 seconds misleads on this point) (( I mean, it did take the almighty 6 whole days - she was so worn out she had to rest for a full day :-) ))

There may be unexpected rocks or boulders or even mountains & planets on along the way (Lions & Tigers & Bears...)
~~causing new strategies and employing new methods and plans to "go where no man has gone before"...

This is all part of your dream - may be just unplanned for;

OK, So just re set up your plan --
If you fall down, get up - great secrete of life...

The plan is not the DREAM- but part of it.

Mysterious Un planned help will show up from time to time as well...

When you set a dream on paper, put your thoughts and energy into it; you energize it.

(Did you know that you are required to energize the money that is printed by the USA government - or its hirees? Yep, it isn't negotiable until you - a citizen, touches it
- that is why the huge national debt exists - they print it and you have to accept it as real before it is real so if you, by proxy, accept the debt it is real...)

When you activate your dream, and get others (only appropriate ones who will support you in its creation) to see it and set their energy into your Dream...
Telepathically it goes out to the universe.

And the universe responds...

I set a dream a motion to live in a certain Condo society on a certain street in Dallas.
Every time I drove by there for about 11 years I saw myself living there.

Now, through a long series of events, like relationship changes, financial changes etc., etc, I do live there... I didn't even set a plan, just the intention and the energy.

Wow what would have happened if I had put in a plan into action?

So be open for surprises... some welcome, some not so...

Remember to take the time to enjoy your Dream as you are living it already-

as You are Living the Dream... (right... now)


oh yea one more little bitty thingy:
if you haven't activated your Dream Only wishing for it....
guess what???????

You're living in your Dream as well ... just in the failed to plan stage...
You can change this...

More soon ~

Ah heck -- when you do finish creating one Dream , & its all built?
what do you do?

Create another Dream ! Activate it and begin its creation journey...
the journey is part of the Dream...

Cheery Day.

Sometimes Beauty...

Is right in front of you:

Meditation on this flower
would be easy, for me...

Do you have a favorite one?

You may like to use one for gazing and meditation...
Just keep your mind gently on any detail of the flower... the colors, the fragrance, the lighting, and so on...

Keep on enjoying the flower and the unexpected beauty around us...

Cheery day..

Natural Beauty....

Moon, with Venus and Jupiter:

all around the world people were watching this today...

It is amazing how marvelous nature is and the site is both inspiring, meditative...

here's a view earlier this evening from my place:
