Water Meditation
..
Our bodies are over fifty percent water, so it makes sense that human beings have always considered water to be a sacred source of life and healing. It is literally half of who we are, and well over half of the earth’s surface is water. Water cleanses and hydrates, contains and produces nourishment, and when we enter it, holds us in an embrace that leaves no part of us untouched. Meditating with water can be a powerful way of aligning ourselves more fully with this support system that makes life both possible and pleasurable on so many levels.
..
We may wish to conduct our meditation while in physical contact with a body of water, whether in the intimacy of our bathtub or the vast container of an ocean. We might float on our backs in a swimming pool or sit with just our feet submerged in a pond or creek. On the other hand, we may simply close our eyes and choose a location based on our imagination. Whatever we choose, we can begin by closing our eyes and listening to our breathing. At the same time, we tune in to the particular music of the water we have chosen—the loud rushing of a river or waterfall, or the surreal silence of the world beneath the surface of the ocean. We might consider how the type of water we choose reflects what we seek—the peace beneath the hectic surface of life, the cleansing power of a river racing through a canyon, or the mood lifting, melodic bubbling of a lively creek.

Bo had a secret get-acquainted session with the family at the White House a few weeks ago.

 

Bo is the Obama’s new puppy. 

..

The little guy is a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog given to the Obama girls as a gift by that Portuguese water dog-lovin’ senator himself, Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts. The girls named it Bo — and let it be noted that you learned that here first. Malia and Sasha chose the name, because their cousins have a cat named Bo and because first lady Michelle Obama’s father was nicknamed Diddley, a source said. (Get it? Bo . . . Diddley?)

..

Bo’s a handsome little guy. Well suited for formal occasions at the White House, he’s got tuxedo-black fur,

Helpful Ideas for Valentine’s Day

Posted: under "LOVE is LOVELY", Advice & Tips.
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Here are some ideas for celebrating Valentine’s Day free of romantic pressure:

Don’t limit yourself to tradition. No matter how many ads you see for diamond jewelry or fancy cologne, despite how many boxes of chocolate and bottles of wine you walk past in the stores, nothing says that you have to buy traditional Valentine’s Day products to have a romantic holiday. By the same token, there’s no reason you can’t celebrate a fulfilling holiday without investing in expensive traditional Valentine’s Day experiences like eating out and taking trips. Be creative. If you have an idea that doesn’t fit the mold of what’s traditionally considered romantic, go ahead and pursue it anyway. For example, maybe you and your spouse are looking forward to choosing materials for a home improvement project you plan to work on together. In that case, you both might actually enjoy spending Valentine’s Day shopping at hardware store, however unromantic that might seem to others.

                 Let’s all remember to take the time to LIVE!!!!

       A friend of mine opened his wife’s underwear drawer and picked up a
                           silk paper wrapped package:
                  ‘This, he said - isn’t any ordinary package.’
       He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.
       ‘She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago.
         She has never put it on , was saving it for a special occasion.
        Well, I guess this is it. He got near the bed and placed the gift
        box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house,
                his wife had just died. He turned to me and said:

Financial Common Sense

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

You may be feeling level-headed and choose to use your common sense when making decisions on financial matters. This may seem reasonable and even obvious, but we may not always use our best thinking when it comes to our finances. People who know the power of positive thinking may find themselves making financial decisions based on hope rather than mathematics. It’s important to see your finances in terms of energy in order to be able to utilize your knowledge in combination with your heart and intuition to make the best choices for your life.


..
Many people feel an aversion to mathematics, but it is the language that allows us to understand nature, science and energy. When we can look at our financial mathematics in terms of energy, we can see the powerful
