One evening, I had a visualization of a baker in the 1500s, working in a sweltering environment making bread. This imagery was so vivid, I wrote it down and decided to write the poem Birth of Dough. After much research into bakers of that period, I learned they were responsible for the main food source of the town. The Black Plague resurfaced around the 1530s in Europe and Nostradamus was a plague doctor then. Unfortunately, his wife and two children died during the plague.Please see the links b

62. Awakening Dreams - Overwhelmed Yet Excited

Overwhelmed yet ExcitedHave you ever wished for a certain situation to happen, be it a career, family event, or a relationship, only to be overwhelmed when it does? There’s excitement there to see how a dream is materializing and then the overwhelmed button seems to turn on just when you feel your life is going your way. Is it because we’re not prepared? Can it be that we anticipated a different scenario? What we perceive is just that—a perception.This happened to me lately. As an actor, you wan

63. Colors of Life - Animism & Possessions

While cleaning and decluttering, I wondered why we give our mental power to possessions? Why is it so difficult to let go of items? Will we need it later? Was it a gift from a loved one? Did we have a moment of weakness and buy an expensive item that we don’t use? Is it because we have given it a soul/spirit? Wikipedia states, “Animism is the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence. Potentially, animism perceives all things-animals, plants, rocks, rive

65. Perceptions of Anger

“For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.” Ralph Waldo EmersonHow do we control anger when it isn't healthy to hold onto it?

Finding ways that work with our being is important.“Reality is ultimately a selective act of perception and interpretation.

I watched an entire season of Ram Dass teachings and all the quotes this week are his.The teachings had everything in it from his disliking of people, to his sexuality, to his questioning of Enlightenment. But what I noticed throughout the entire season it’s about being. He was just being.How difficult it is for most of us to just be. Just sit still to quiet the mind and just be. So much of what we learn is to be a doer or a thinker or a seeker.“The thinking mind is what is busy. You have to sta

As I start season five, I give much thought to what this season is. I’ll call it life, because that is what happens when we are making plans. Life sometimes defies us, challenges us, yet what I have learned is that it teaches us to move forward and when we refuse to move forward is when we see and feel the challenges. I’ve learned to stop and ask why. Why am I going through this? What am I to learn? What is my lesson? I find life can be challenging when I want it to go in one direction, but that

This week we discuss why thoughts contradict affirmations. They contradict because we state them but our subconscious mind isn’t believing it. i.e., I am wealthy – my bank account states differently. This is because our negative self-talks are repeated over and over.EX: Someone annoys you – there will be a thought & an emotion associated with it and we usually repeat something like "I can't believe they did that" and now you have created an affirmation.We usually read off affirmations like a lis
