What matters is you. The problem is the age old spiritual question ‘Who Am I?’ Or in this case, who are you? Are you your conditioning, beliefs, hopes and dreams? or are you mind, body or spirit…your vibrational frequency? Are you living from your homones, your attachments or your heart felt feelings?
New Year’s Day
It is snowing hard outside. New Year’s Day, a day of reflection after New Year’s Eve, where I did not get home till 2:30 am, way past my bedtime. I love to go to a party in the Laurentians but because I am driven there and I have no control of when I get home. But at least, I was not driving.
This time of year in Quebec, especailly in the mountains it is usually filled with snow. There was no snow yesterday. I do get to see many people who filled my life many years ago and share many of my heart felt values. There was lots of hugging. Now I feel a cold coming on. What to do? Hot tea, Vitamin C and a cold tablet.
Connecting & Disconnecting
I observed my joy rising, meaningful conversations and rehashing the past. And then as I tired, past my bedtime, I felt myself disconnect. Yes, and we all play this game of connecting and disconnecting. You feel and are in presence and suddenly you are in the void where the mind take over while the body wants its sleep. Or perhaps you live in your head and only experience the void.
It is snowing outside, big thick snow flakes coming down fast, my favorite. I love the whiteness and silence of snow. It is a weather meditation and so beautiful.
What Matters is You…
What matters is you and your body is the focal point of your now. Even your mind is a product of your incorporation, without your body ‘no mind.’ This can be a spiritual state if you are not staring at the void and disconnecting. The answer: Only Connect!
The body has its own journey to enlightenment and throws up indecipherial challenges. Body Being & Heart sessions, courses and retreats reconnect you to honoring and dialoging with your very tissue, your body. Embody all that you are. Unfold your body intelligence. You may not find it in the gym.
The HighLight
The highlight of the party for me was two people, spiritual pillars in the community I partied with last night, told me how much they loved and enjoyed my book ‘Adventures of Alice Wonderbar,’ a romantic, spiritual fantasy. And said, yes, said It might just be a cult spiritual success. I know my healing mentor, who appears in a cameo role along with his wife in the next in book in series, ‘Alice Wonderbar Tantra Queen’, thinks it hilarious and that it should become a movie…or at least a netflicks series.
Inspiration & Energy!
This gives me inspiriation and energy to edit the next Alice book. It is written. If you read them, I invite you to enter into the world of contemorary spirituality and romance. You might need to drop a few beliefs and unnecessary thoghts about reality. Just enjoy the ride and experience what wisdom these novels bring to you about you!
My other project is completing a digital recording for a new meditation. One of my first roommates in Montreal will do the music. Nandin Baker has many recordings available and has played for Satsang internationally.
The Cold?
The cold I felt I was coming down with has evaporated as I felt the sadness it expressed for a time and friends long past. And as I open to the new year of renewed and new intentions. Intentions to share the wisdom, insight and joy I experience.
Ultimate Koan
A Japanese koan is a unsovable question used in Zen buddhist teaching to help bring students out of specific thought forms into a realm of pure awareness. I recently found the ultimate koan: YOU.
You are the mystery. Life is living you even as you are living life. Enjoy the mystery of you as you travel through 2025.
