October 2019

I’ve mentioned before I’ve taken two Tai Chi courses, and still haven’t been able to practice the art the way I wanted to!  I never saw myself as graceful, and as long as I envisioned myself as clumsy, It ‘was what it was’!  I’ve bookmarked many a UTube on the practice, and still haven’t been able to achieve what I thought was how I was supposed to perform this incredible healing art.

Well, the tide has turned today for me on this subject.  I listened to a video today which covered, among other things, the art of breathing.  Most of my meditation courses deal with this as well, but for some reason, the presentation I was working with today reached that part of me where I felt my own ease and grace and alignment and it hit me like a ton of bricks!  I’ve been trying to do something the way I have observed others doing it, instead of doing it the way it feels TOTALLY COMFORTABLE for me to do it.   I do not need a class for me to move my body the way my body knows it can move and wants to move to achieve that feeling of alignment, being in tune, enjoying my own movement just as I choose it.  It’s no different than dancing like nobody’s watching!

I’ve been brought to another awareness of how easy it is to put oneself in a pressure cooker, or rush toward a finish line which doesn’t exist.  It’s Grace and Glory to wake up a bit more and feel the purity of my life and the privilege of living it.

I quoted years ago, ‘my life is by my own design’ and this means much more to me this day.  Freedom abounds…choices are abundant…joy is the continuous discoveries that we make that fit like a second skin.  Oh what a glorious 360-degree picture.

Now you know what a true sigh of relief feels like..It’s breathing us in

and breathing out, at your own rate…and acknowledging it feels so good.        ~Gaya

Blessed Be.  To All Be Blessed.

Talk About Freedom!  Read this title one more time!  No Restrictions! The Sky’s the Limit!

To think that it is we who put the screech/stop to things!  Everything around us really doesn’t stop.  It keeps on going with or without our participation.  We make decisions that we think will enhance our existence everyday.  We go to the store and buy things that we think will make us happier…things we just can’t do without…things that we must have NOW, or we may never be able to get them again!  And, we ‘NEED’  them so much, because, because, because.

We find our own rabbit holes and on our way we go.

I’m having an Ah Ha moment and I want to share another ring of my Freedom bell.  I’m beginning to understand ‘just being’.  I’m beginning to feel what it’s like just ‘hanging out’ in the ethos of ‘IT’.  These are glimmerings…hints…of the nothingness and the ALL of IT.  It’s the skimming of a new surface of my understanding.

Recently, I was asked how I was and I responded  “As long as there is no endgame in sight, wherever I am, whatever I do, I’m living my life with gusto and plan to do it for at least 10+ years  and I keep offering myself good experiences that give me joy.”  LET’S REPHRASE THIS RIGHT NOW!  “As long as there is no endgame in sight, wherever I am, whatever I do, I’m living my life with gusto and I keep offering myself good experiences that give me joy.”  TIME has nothing to do with it!

I don’t have to hang my hat on anything!  I ought not compromise me, my power, my integrity, my honesty, my attention and intention in honoring my Creator, my Source.  What a privilege I have been given to experience this life…  To have a dream or a goal and start taking the steps to bring it to fruition.  What a privilege it is to recognize that life is meant to be joyful and happy and it is I who perceives this joy and happiness.  It is I who recognizes that the little things turn into the big things in my life.   There is no thin line to walk through life…it is an expansive as-far-as-the-eye-can-see vista awaiting me to express myself with ease and simplicity just for myself.  My life is for my self-fulfillment.  My life is for the expansion of ME.

Oh, Sweet Kaye, We Love You So.  Continue to enjoy the ride.   ~Gaya
