Matt and I rang in 2009 underneath the fireworks of the Space Needle at midnight. It was magical...the colorful explosions, an excited crowd, and the Seattle rain. After nearly two weeks of snow and ice, the fact that it was rain, was pretty amazing!
We're off to a busy start of the new year. Our new
World Puja show on "The Spiritual Ego" airs this Wed. Jan. 7, and, we filled in for the vacationing Pat Baccili on
the Dr. Pat Show this morning.
Both are free to listen to in the archives! Enjoy. We felt they are some of our best shows to date. Hope you get the chance to experience both of them. We felt like we really showed up, and gave from our hearts, and hope that translates on your end. Let us know!
A client emailed us last week with a question about going through times when "less than savory," or unkind, unpleasant thoughts pop up in the mind. What I shared with her I would also like to offer to you, as well, if it's at all helpful in navigating the waters of the mind.
I like to think of these thoughts as waves at they ocean. They come in, they go out. When Matt & I experience an unkind or unhelpful thought, and we all do--we bring our attention to it...so the awareness is there about it, but we don't take it seriously--as truth. We let the thoughts come and go...knowing, and accepting that they come and go. That way, we're not trying to control them and push them away --which only tends to create MORE resistance and discomfort.
They come, they go. No need to give them meaning, a story, or believe the thoughts or feelings running through us moment to moment--especially if they're not adding anything positive or joyful to your day or anyone else's. No need to feel bad when they arise, no need to judge yourself if it still happens (even "after I've done so much work on myself" --that's the most common thing we see in our practice).
Always, unwavering, and unfailing, you are beautiful and loving at your core. Just taking a deep breath in and out and knowing this...can allow this knowing to grow more alive in you in every day. We have infinite expressions of this core throughout our day....some are how we would wish, and some are not. Thank goodness we have the next moment, where we can begin again with even more love than the last moment held.
Wishing you deep, self-loving breaths, and a knowing of your true divine nature.
Blessings always,
Julie
