A few days ago I posted a blog article about my potent Mt. Shasta meditation. While sitting on the mountain, I charged up the Reiki healing energies within my being, and I offered deep gratitude to the Universe. I was feeling especially grateful that day, because during our picnic lunch my brother and his wife announced that they are going to have a baby. This was really big news, since they had been trying to get pregnant for two years!
On my recent pilgrimage to see
tucked the skin into my bag and gave thanks for that medicine.
The guard checked my driver’s license in the computer, waved a wand over my body, and motioned for me to join the others inside the gates. I was inside San Quentin prison, a California State Prison near San Rafael. The environment was so strange: the guards in big boots with guns, the stark surroundings, and the nauseating smells of the kitchen area. The gloomy, towering ceilings of the dining hall were covered with hundreds of chirping birds, which swooped down to the floor at times. Sitting at the large steel tables, each with four steel stools attached, you never knew when a bird might drop something on you.
A few days ago I felt inspired to write an article about celebration, but I didn’t write down the ideas. Today when I sat down to write, at first I felt blocked due to a challenging PMS state that was passing through my body-mind. My gut felt gripped from all sides, and I thought that I surely could not write anything inspiring in the throes of that state, but then I thought of what my teacher Basil would say: ‘We have to keep doing our disciplines, no matter how bad we feel.’ So, I began writing, and as I wrote, I healed myself along the way… Writing is healing for me, especially when it helps me to remember spiritual Truths that purify my mind of negative thoughts.
Parsley reminds me of my Grandma's yard. When I was a child, she always had large amounts of parsley growing beside her back steps. She garnished every bowl of her delicious soup with fresh parsley sprigs.
Everything is connected. We are all linked in one continuous web of energy and vibration. We could put this oneness to great use by collectively choosing to raise the consciousness of the human species. As Gandhi-ji said, first we have to BE the change that we wish to see in the world. We each have to choose to raise our own vibrations.
