Balls...

I see that Sparkle heart Pulled his back yesterday- boy don't you hate that?
Well I have recently made a useful discovery for myself:
tennis balls - 2 of them - just lay on them...

put under the painful part of your back - on or near the point of pain for about
90 seconds to 3 or 4 minutes.

lay on them with your legs bent feet on floor, so you can roll your back over the balls a bit with your leg movement; to get them just in the right spot - one ball one each side of the spine.

Tell yourself to 'relax, relax, relax' focus on the area and gently repeat 'relax, relax, relax'
you feel it when it relaxes - I find it very subtle in the release but it does. Then I feel better.

This is meditating or Focusing on the Pain - it is moving into the Pain - most try to move away from the pain - pain killers - why not just eliminate it?

Try it - great meditation when then is stuff to release...

Something in the way she moves...

attracts me like no ....
you know the Beatles song...

what is that attracts you?
food? Flowers? body parts? the way he/she moves? the twinkle in the eye?
grab it ! (inside your head that is)

if it is of a natural attraction to you, use it for a meditation subject.

When better thing to do that to meditate on chocolate -
the fragrance,
the texture,
the color,
the taste?
Try all of these in your mind... see how long you can keep your attention on it.
This will help you to increase our focus.

Then use your will power.  Take some thing you don't care for much -say Taxes...
see how long you can focus on this...
gently keep bringing your mind back to where it needs to be on the taxes...

then switch back to focus on the things you like...
say you do 5 minutes easily, OK do 5 minutes each then you can work up daily to what ever time you want to put into the practice...

Want to expand your mind a bit more?
Stretch your thinking limits...
go check out our latest article on a iPod like golden mirror box
found deep underground in a little fireproof box like a time capsule...
the story will stretch your mind...
& give something more to meditate on...

Congratulations...

To our new Leader of a country full of people who want change...
the first step was long: Obama took that step..

The next steps are longer ~ we will all have to do our part(s)
to help bring us back into alignment with honorable ways...

A simple stoppage of the aides epidemic is possible
will they listen or will big biz try to squash it?
and on and on and on...

so lets keep our heads, keep healthy;
and be the best karma yogis in our area of work.

I like what Obama said yesterday at the work center
- 'Be the best broom person there is"  - Karma Yogi...

Happier Days? We sure are working towards them...
wear hip boots... KIV

Blue Skys...

The Solar wind is upon us. The Auroral oval is over most of the Northern Hemisphere.
You may be able to see the Aurora dancing over your head, as the sun's light drifts off or arrives.

Saturday the sky turned blue from a meteoroid of unknown size hitting  the atmosphere  in the dark eve.
The explosion was reported to be as bright as the full moon.

Once in a blue moon ? do you know this expression? and what it means? It means the 13 full moon of the year.
so it means once a year - but when? It changes constantly as it moves it what seems a chaotic manner.

The blue planet -Pluto has been declared a non planet...but I can tell you it affects me most powerfully.

Where does that leave us?

Friday morning I was getting my hair cut at Michael Motorcycles Hair Salon - Dallas, TX and had the feeling he was moving...
When I got there all were out, he arrived with his Friend and artist 'Elle" after carrying a lot of Tibetan sound bowels  to his car and informed me of the impending move.  The Dance of Fire. Shiva (Nataraja) dances in the circle of the flames of creation. first comes destruction, then the renewal the rebuilding.

There is change all around us; the universe is in constant movement; creation - maintaining - dissolution - creation again.
One romance , live ends, another begins: Samsara  (Sanskrit: संसार ) the wheel of life and death of the Buddhists and Hindus. Not just the realm of the believers in reincarnation.

We see this all around us - we in the throws of a freezing winter the 'death' part of the natural cycle. Soon Spring comes - buds are already in full bloom - the delight of the hungry bees on some trees here is Dallas, even temps are in the low 30's.
maintenance will come in the summer, then fall and it all starts over again.

so How are you recreating your Dream? your target? maybe you are adjusting your plan. The people you work & live with.
The country is having to adjust it economic plan with a new President.  Weird how the celebration comes on Martin Luther Kings Birthday... Is the dream really here? or is the destruction final?  The whole world seems in chaos ~
if you watch the news. the celbration is only one part of the cycle- they set up for it, held concets for it, it will be, it will have to be cleaned up after. Chaos? ...

It is just another solar storm hitting us.
Many have come before, many will come again; just as the tides rise and fall - some are higher than others.

Tiered of all of this ?

The old yogis wondered what was real... they decided this - that which does not change is real...
The departing monk in spirit form in the last monastery scenes of Little Buddha carry a form of the message.

Beyond the ability of the mind to reason, the emotions to feel, is the observer - you may find yourself, at times in meditation, or watching the bees sip the nectar of spring flowering trees.

The act of creation is the spark of life in action, so is destruction but we arrest people for doing that today. We can't legally even burn our own dead or feed them to the birds and the sky burial of some Native Americans.
Did you see the movie Thunderheart?  A wonderful movie of learning to trust that which is with in you...

who sees the Blue Skies? Who is the one who cares? The one who listens or ignores?
Is it body bound? Or timeless...

Wake up, or sleep and dance...

'I am neither mind nor body
Immortal self I AM,
I am witness of 3 states...
Knowledge absolute'

want the tune?

sing these in your mind as you meditate on them
then sink into the silence - here the silence, tast the silence,
silence is Truth
Silence is peace
It is the Peace that pasthe all understanding...

Shaloam
Ameen
Amen
Shanti

Then you will be like Blue Shies - observing all the cycles below.
water on a lotus leaf
in the world but not of the world...
a Karma yogi...

My our leaders be such yogis...

The Pain glow...

A friend has had pain in her healing ear for over a year - maybe the 10 years she has had the situation- after cancer.

Though healing nicely with knowledgeable help and less pain...
Pain was the motivator to find a better solution:

In meditation she asked for one...
'What will this look like when it is healed?"
the answer came in the form of a picture of the ear being scabbed over...

So she interpreted this to mean she should leave off the bandage while she sleeps and as often during the day as practical..

Now the pain is much less and there is mild scabbing taking place...

Your body knows.
Your higher Self Knows.
You just have to knock
and it shall be answered...

Cheery Day

Snorkling?...

I love to snorkel ~ not much on scuba; scared of big fish I can't see like ... groupers...
silly thing but that's the way it is...
"A man's got to know his limitations..." Dirty Harry...

So I snorkel - absolutely love it; floating around head in the surf; bobbing up & down with the waves; even the 7 foot barracuda under the sail boat don't bother me; the multi colored see snakes don't either. I can dive down, holding my breath and the come back up. Multi-colored fish just thrill me.

In a conversation I love to snorkel as well - just float along the top - observing it all. If some one is in emotional stuff or is bothered by something... I just dive down to get near their level, talk a while and we go up to the sunny surface together.

Well if some is angry over a pet peeve triggered by a news announcement on TV. I can go dive in and say yea those jerks - jeez... etc. matching their tone and voice quality. I am swimming with them at their depth.

Then I can interject a little higher mood, or say something down their that puts more truth into the situation.
OK, lets see how this goes:
a commercial peeve of mine is "take this med- it can kill you and have your gonads drop off, and... but just go to your Dr and tell him you want it anyway..."

These really get my goat... Can you imagine me telling off the TV? it is pretty funny...
Then someone in the room says to me - the upset one...
~a~ shut up I am trying to listen...
~b~ you but head - these guys saved my grandmother - you don't know anything
~c~ ridiculous isn't it? How can these guys make a living from creating an add like that?

??? What do you think which one raises the mood a little?

- right a & b are put downs _ how many times do I catch myself doing this method? - yikes...
not much help is it - but it makes us feel better right? (more truth interjected here - you'll fill in the rest) When its done to me I feel about 2 inches tall or ready to spit lava...

c ~aligns with the person, shows respect and concern for their feelings, puts in a bit more of Truth and the mood will raise up... ( I feel much better when someone pulls this on me)

many ways to do this - great comedians like 'Noah!' are masters of getting us to laugh at our silliness and that truth - accepted by us will raise of consciousness.

some times - because it is so far down there Dirty Hairy has to be called in just to get the attention.
I like what LA is doing now. Having the courts be able to grab the proven gang leaders assets not just the ones that were proved stolen... A big step up from the biz end of Dirty Harry's 44 mag...

Meditate on the sound of the air passing in and out 0f the snorkel; float in the gentle surf; gaze at the magic of creation in the multi-colored fish...

my chanting talk may be of interest.

Cheery Day.

Be open...

when you decide you want something, keeping very clear in mind, heart, & feelings...
then you ask the universe for it... and let it go... you don't even think about it anymore...

Then big U can go to work in all the mysterious magical ways it does... and one day...
there it is waiting for you at the door,
or in your mail box,
or you just got introduced by a friend...
or any number of ways that magic happens...

Your part in this is you have to keep your self open to receiving the item, help, friend, lover, partner, or what ever you have for.

ie you may be in a argument with a friend, then they introduce you to their friend. But because you in the argument and not 'present' but stuck in the topic of the argument - you may miss the friend.

The Big U did it's part. You have to do yours. You have to show up to claim the lottery ticket.
Just because you won doesn't mean that Publisher's Clearing House is going to know on your door, track you down, and hand you a check... You still have to open to receive ... what it is you ask for... or the Big U will give it to someone else...

No loss on their part - you just lost out because you were not here 'NOW'
KIV is both a science and art. it is not easy, yet is it simple.

Develop more presence and be here now. Then little things like arguments, hey let the other guy be more 'right', will roll off you.

Cheery Day...

Aloha....

Huna? yes means the secrete...
Kahuna means the keeper of the secret...
you know now what the secret is - but do you know how to use it?

HUmmm or OOOOMMMMM....
OK, this interview with Donna Matus is eye opening is the sense that we can actually learn to tap into our greater selves and have more success, easier than we may imagine.

Imagination sure plays an important part.
"Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe" is very possible as the old saying goes.

The wright brothers took that seriously, as did Leonardo and the Atlantians 20 millenniums ago...
and the UFO creators all know this is true.

I have sat in messages from Ship crews that say they navigate by all of them holding the destination in thought word and deed until they arrive at the desired location.
How can a human do that - well we can
KIV>>>

Focus is primary - gently strive for it daily...

take 10 and meditate on your favorite flower, candle, partner, tonight... before bed,
then visualize your target, feeling as if it has already arrived...

Some simple & powerful exercises...

Is one of your new year targets to exercise more?

do you have 10 minutes to spend getting healthy?
Live longer? Feel better?

Well my friend has perfected and teaches a much simpler
form of yoga, called many things -
Tibetan Yoga seems to stick

listen and watch her give you idea of just how easy this
can be...

Ready?

This moon was very special as you can see in yesterdays picture - very rare site...
How did your meditations go?

I have found that sometimes the energy keeps on going - this one has...
if you would like to see the effect of the moon eclipses for the following year.

do listen to '2009 Predictions'
and listen to mine if you would like some more info on how to face a major epidemic...

Cheery day...
