This protects not just my mind from wandering,but my body doesn't collect the junk that the mind would want to fill it with for comfort while IT tried to have it's way. Instead I remind myself that I am far more than a body and mind, I am a spirit. Laughter, to me, IS the best medicine. It lifts my spirit to carry the body and mind along the journey, and..... good decisions are made because spirit is connected to the higher power of positively charged vibrations bringing about good turnouts, smooth sailing, enjoying the dream of life, while rowing gently down the stream, feeling free of the constraints of a body or it's storyline of trying to tell me who I am either worrying with fear about the future, or regret/depression of the past. None of which are in the moment, so they are not my life. Which by the way is.... happening right now! I'm free! So.. I'm conscious in the moment, and loving thy neighbor as thy self becomes such a smooth flow. When I see a spirit is being crushed by the mind or influenced by the bodies junk intake, however, I am able to gaze upon all this now as 'being out of balance' with ones self. So...... (all ya need is love) expressed to someone who is 'out of balance' is all they need to lift their spirit, in turn, their spirit lifted,will take the reins and transform their mind and body. Their spirit will literary get them 'unstuck' from the mud on the stream and....as soon as their view changes in travel, they will become more engaged in an awakening life. As the saying goes 'God helps them who help themselves?'Could this be the results of just offering a caring nudge to someone. I believe so. A greater power will step up when the vibrations are in unison. Help IS always on the way. Jesus said He would be with us to the end of the ages. Ask and it is given! Consciousness is the connecting line. Well, that's how the Trinity of me works right now, today, anyway. Don't know what the tide will throw at me tomorrow, but I'll 'practice' all over again on arising, one day, one moment at a time, knowing help is always so easily accessible by being in the now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
