Rest

The weather is craptastic today, though I am reminded that bad weather in Southern California is a dream compared to some of the joy that's happening in the mid-west today. However, despite the fact that gloominess is in the clouds, I am feeling rather cheerful today.

I've been being hard on myself for not blogging for a bit, as I have a backlog of ideas that desperately (this is debatable, I'm sure) need to get written. But I've been traveling of late, which has taken up a goodly amount of my energy for functioning. Also, I have been doing a lot of what one might call "forming" out in the energetic world.

For the skeptic out there, just click on to the next blog. But for those of you who believe in an energetic world (or at least a human's ability to create his or her own experience through mental focus), what I have been doing falls into the category of taking a lot of energy to help create my future while not appearing to be "doing" much to the outside world.

I realize this is somewhat unclear. What I've been doing is going into a meditative state, then making images and connecting strong emotional responses to them. I am working from the notion that the brain doesn't differentiate in the same way between that which is actual and that which me imagine clearly. Also, I am working from the premise that those things to which we attach emotions have a lot higher likelihood of becoming a priority for our subconscious and conscious minds.

I don't really care that some of you out there are screaming that it doesn't do any more good than the placebo affect does for drug tests. Really this is because many of the placebo test groups do pretty well in fighting illness, so I'm convinced that the human brain is a pretty powerful force in regard to our bodies and health. So why would it be any different to say that I am relying on my mind and body to take me in pre-specified directions when given the thousands of choices I have per day that I possibly am not always consciously aware that I am making?

Anyway, what I am finding is that being in this meditative state makes it where I end up "doing without doing" in many ways. I flow through my day more "effortlessly." However, I also am finding that I need more rest than I normally would for a normal day (even one which includes more "tiring" activities).

One might be inclined to blame that on the weather or any number of other things. And of course, these may be factors. But in any case, I feel the need to rest. It's as if a nap is a living thing and sits at my shoulder, constantly ready to pounce.

In the days to come, I will probably find the energy to get my backlog of writing finished. I have all sorts of sexy and fabulous things to share. But right now, all I can muster is this brief update and hope that all of you out there are getting a chance to re-imagine your lives in this time of shift. And of course, that you are giving yourself the gift of a nap if you at all have the ability to do so.

Sending you all love today, and giving you permission to rest if you need to. There will be time later for everything you need to accomplish. I promise...
