5 MINUTE DEDICATION...PAUSE FOR THE THOUGHT

Second snow day here my sisters sure many of you are wondering if the sun will ever shine again. Warmth be felt from the inside out, or out moving inward. These times, often bring me to heavy thinking and that is sometimes not always healthy. Being kept in so to speak somehow confines us or the illusion of it, so what do we do we retreat? A SNOW DAY..

I have been flawless in this happening over the past forty eight hours. The currant situation I find myself journeying right now is a vortex of possibilities with an endless chaotic spiraling ending this mixture like the weather has left a little gloom and grey. Grey being so many shades of what is going and my thoughts and brain are in overdrive. Between keeping my vibration up, and staying in the NOW, I speak of this often, and flowing with the churning spirals of what is coming to pass or end, or maybe just dwindle from my line of sight only to see it once more somewhere down the river, due to vibrations I manifest any one of these are a possible universal happening in the making. I feel this and that is the closest I can come to our human language on explaining that particular event.

I am linked by two aspects "FEELING" and THINKING" for me what I feel is the zero line, from that point on it is on a course of it's own. It is my purposeful make-up. I feel therefore I think. Some think therefore they feel. Two parts of a whole. It is the balance that I struggle huh how funny, balance is no struggle, yet I state it clearly that it is. You see what just happened I felt then I thought then I wrote, now it is done. It turned out negatively.

I started really feeling what I was thinking to try and flip the script, it was a mad rush of all sorts of emotions and it really was exhausting keeping up with the thought process it seems endless, like the proverbial dog chasing his tail, and never once caught then what?  The energy I used up and really ended up with virtually nothing positive just confusion and chaos.  I for the first time realized how empty my thoughts are to flood and then vanish without a trace, they really are hauntingly dangerous and yet so inviting. When I feel first then think, this normally works for me, but it often fails of late as the trust in my inner self has been dampened and walled out, the ego through the mind the human in me let GO...it merely obliged my actions. I am sorry for this meaning it is damaging to ME no one else.

Every thought and feeling has a purpose in it's moment. It is all relative. So here is the dilemma, I bask in the moments of good feelings and positive thoughts they empower me if only for a second, wait for it, then the pendulum swings back, right that's just the way it goes. Yin and Yang so to speak. So yup here they come for me one of the biggest is a relationship issue, is it over? is it a lady in waiting by the universe? is it still a going on? each of these are a web of tangled thoughts and feelings that really right now have no relevance to my NOW. They still creep in and bam I am stuck trying not to hit by the dang pendulum.

I tried a little something I heard in a Abraham Hicks video: A five minute dedication and notice the use of the kind word dedication. Something you will invest and commit to willingly. Pause for the thought kinda of action. I set an alarm clock for 5 MINUTES, I started thinking and then feeling some guilt over this relationship I refer too and it started with great news about my other half his health him paying attention once again and gaining strength, well then it shifted to ME, I thought about how I abandoned the situation too soon? Did I loose faith in US? then it moved again not just questions now answers started to come and as it all went down so did my energy and feelings changed they darkened and were no longer empowering but rather damaging. I was about half way through the five minutes and still it came, go back to TN you can do better this time, you can handle his stuff and yours pick him back up put things right for him...oh that pattern grew and grew and then I noticed how small I felt, like I was disappearing or becoming invisible. The bell went off thank goodness. I felt it all took another fifteen minutes or so to write this out and let it stew for a bit, really understand and release what is not meant to be in the NOW> This is clearly not a fix right NOW situation.

The day progressed and each one of these little thoughts and feelings that broke my spiritual connection, I stopped and paid homage
to them, dedicated all of me in that moment to what is happening. Pausing to allow that thought it's time for it will pass make no mistake. Now, I would love to say it all ended well, but nope I had the same thoughts rinse, and repeat and each time I kindly acknowledged them but had to ask them to leave for I already dedicated the time to them in their moment and NOW is not theirs. It really amazed me how the chattering, the committee in my head slowly  began diminishing yet I know they will rise once more, so it the way of the pendulum of thought and feelings, or feelings and thoughts either way it all leads to the same NOW the same simple truth...All that we are arises from our thoughts. Keep them POSITIVE but never berate the negative it is the balance one needs to continue to progress.

Chant the MANTRA..SSHHHoossshh the Mind.

The mind is a thinking machine, I often attribute it to being that of a shark. It hunts all the time, eats, moves, and never sleeps. Sound familiar. The minds purpose is simple, yet complex, hmm perfect balance I would guess. It's purpose is to create problems and solve those problems that's it. It was designed to only do that, at a caliber that most of us can never grasp. 

The mind is a marvel, think on that see what I did . It is almost by reflex that we go straight to the MIND. It is a conditioning of lots of practice over years of conforming. The mind does not care what the issue is , it can argue both sides, why it is to it's benefit it is fulfilling it's primary purpose. The problem with all that of course is it is a never ending cycle. It never stops. It requires the body to check and balance it, as one minor part of the greater whole. The body thankfully has a threshold of maximum capacity. When it has reached it's limit it shuts down by any means necessary. Self preservation kicks in, this is where we start this is the point in the midst of all this that we get to stop and see what else is missing. I talk of the warning signs, that one's body activates to let us know to stop and take a look. The mind is a weed, it will take over and break down everything in it's path IF LEFT TO IT'S OWN DEVICES. The heart and soul play the last of the four to create the perfect balance a complete check and balances. The heart controls feelings which will strongly affect the mind, emotions are very very powerful. The soul or essence of one being the unexplained by words, yet to deny it is to deny one's true self. This is the inner source of faith, bliss, and pure unconditional LOVE for oneself and thus the world tribe. It starts inward only to vibrate outwards and touch all that it passes through. 

How does one tame the mind? Good question, I would answer with practice and more practice, and just when one thinks they have it, nope practice it again. It is the journey of the practice that provides the learning, the growth, the strength, the one step closer to one's truest self. There one too will find their "primary purpose". Still working on it here, but after fifty one moon cycles it is so much clearer, all that practice is dose of zen so to speak. Let's talk Mind GAMES, nope let's change games to Minds full of PEACE and QUIET. 

Mantra's 
By accessing the power of speech through mantras, you can re-frame your thinking to purify negativity with love. Mantras are simple yet powerful phrases that are continuously recited in order to provide a healing, stabilizing effect on the mind. The repetitious quality of mantras yield the potential to open doors to achieving love, happiness and meaningful accomplishments

1. Everything ends.

When you are overwhelmed by anxiety or believe you are ‘stuck’ in a situation, you must remember that everything ends. Life is composed of cycles; every negative cycle must occur for a positive cycle to begin. Even our most frustrating, terrible cycles will come to an end. A difficult situation is not a permanent barrier to any kind of happiness.

2: I am enough.

Perfectionism is a major roadblock to incorporating love and happiness into your life. Take a moment each day to remind yourself that you are enough. Who has told you that you are ‘not good enough’? Will punishing yourself bring love and prosperity? As you recite this mantra, look at yourself in the mirror–be your own best supporter. This mantra should be repeated to counteract negative self-talk.

3.Let love be my guide.

There is nothing as holistic and cleansing as integrating love as a guiding energy into your life. Give into the divine will of the Universe by releasing all negative thinking; when your mind and heart have opened, you will see joy unfold before your eyes. As you recite this mantra, imagine a warm, pink light wrapping around your body like a blanket, drawing out all darkness from your auric field.
