The Roots


What are you grounded in? What is the core thing /practice/activity/thought that anchors you in the world? I am realizing how important this is to health and happiness. Can you peel away all the "stuff" in your life and come up with one root element that drives you? I believe this is a powerful force as we come back to our roots continually through our days and nights.

If the core is a negative belief about ourselves that is buried and unconscious, we may not be connected to the life we are producing. If the root is conscious but self-sabotaging, we may struggle and suffer and not produce the product/life that we are shooting for. When the core internal state and practice which supports it are conscious and loving to ourselves, the creation will be a work of art.

The big question is: can we change this root belief and how? I believe the answer is yes but it takes will and a willingness to look and see. The will requires us to have a process to hold onto what we wish to keep and discard what we wish to release. Staying awake is the key. This is choice; it is in the continuous choosing that we come into our power. Our mirrors in the world support the remembering if we let them. Asking for support on our quest allows the dream to come true.

IT'S HAPPENING

Wow, the information available on CCSVI on the internet is truly amazing! I have to admit: I did not research this topic as well as I could have. I did not read the study from Poland before my procedure. I did not realize all the excitement combined with incredible knowledge that is coming out of Georgetown. I am just reading them now and I can hardly contain myself. There is so much data available on CCSVI from around the world. I acted more on a deep gut feeling that CCSVI was real and was my path to healing. I was a little desperate as I felt myself sliding over the last year and didn't feel right with the auto-immune drugs. CCSVI just made sense to me; really good sense. Now reading the data, I am so excited for huge numbers of people to get healed/opened/freed! After doing a little research, it seems that nearly all people with definite MS have CCSVI. It also seems that people with MS who have the procedure have less flairs over time and a better quality of life. Some get a lo...

Connecting to the World

This is a picture from the Eucalyptus Grove At UCSD -- my dogs' favorite walk. Upon our return from our adventure, I read this from Buddhist psychologist, Rick Hanson. I really resonate with this aspect of connection. Connecting is in 3 directions -- inside with oneself, with others and with the world. When we strengthen one direction, we simultaneously strengthen our general connection. This is guidance to connect more deeply with the world. What makes you feel connected? I'd like to know.   Are we really so separate? The Practice   Love the world. Why?   Your brain evolved in three stages (to simplify a complex process): Reptile - Brainstem, focused on AVOIDING harm Mammal - Limbic system, focused on APPROACHING rewards Primate - Cortex, focused on ATTACHING to "us" With a fun use (to me, at least) of animal themes, the first JOT in this series -  pet the lizard  - was about how to soothe the most ancient structures of the...
