Finding Heaven

June 15th, 2011

Me and the boys cleaned out the van yesterday and got loaded up, ready to go fishing.

When everything was ready, we got in and I started it up. The song that came on the radio as the van roared to life was Brad Paisley, I’m Gonna Miss Her. A song about fishing. We laughed at that. How synchronous ♥

When it was finishing up, Michael says, “Wouldn’t it be funny if She Thinks We’re Just Fishin by Trace Adkins came on next?”

The song ends. We all hang in the silence, waiting for the next song to start… It’s not Trace Adkins.

Among a chorus of “Awwwwww” from the back seat I say, “Well, what are the chances they’d play two fishin’ songs in a row?”

And then the new lyrics begin…

“Every day I drive to work across Flint River bridge. A hundred yards from the spot where me and grandpa fished.”

All our heads whipped around and we stared at each other…. Then we all burst into hysterical laughter!

I thought it was ironic that the song that synchronously demonstrated just how close heaven really is was called, “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away” by Justin Moore.

Which was apparently the theme of the day thereafter because we then heard Offspring, Gone Away whose chorus says, “And it feels, yeah it feels like, heaven’s so far away”… Then Warrant sang for us, “Heaven isn’t too far away… Closer to it every day…”

A Meditation Phrase

June 13th, 2011

I found a free guided meditation online this morning so I thought I’d try it. It wasn’t very good, which is why I’m not linking to it, but I did get something rather profound from it.

In another guided meditation I did, the speaker says to make a movement that will indicate to your body that you’re now going to relax and go into meditation. I tried that but I couldn’t come up with a movement that my body doesn’t do all the time without being ridiculous.

In this new meditation this morning, the speaker said to pick a word or short phrase that describes your intention in meditating. For example, peace, love, God, joy, or a phrase of 1 to 5 words.

I was already relaxed and breathing deeply and slipping into my meditation, and when the speaker said a phrase of 1-5 words, the phrase that immediately came to mind was, “The lord is my shepherd.”

What a perfect phrase to repeat on my exhale to signal to my being that I’m going into meditation. And guidance IS what I seek, so it totally fit.

Half an hour or so later that phrase popped into my head again and I remembered that I’d wanted to look it up. I pulled it up online. Psalm 23.

I read the Psalm and remember it fondly from my childhood. I close the page and pull up my Twitter page. My Twitter page informs me that I am following 11 people, I have 22 followers, and I’ve tweeted 444 times.

Wow! What a very cool synchronicity!

I post about it on Facebook AND Twitter. As I start telling a friend about it because she was ON Facebook when I posted, I look up at my Zynga toolbar which announced my next drawing is in 5:55:55.

So I’m thinking “The lord is my shepherd” is my new meditation trigger phrase.

Happy Monday

June 6th, 2011

I got a comment on my post, Let there be Cash, this morning.

Claire writes:

So… Did you participate in the conference calls and what is your sincere personal opinion? :)
(Been participating myself throughout May and curious about other participants experiences – if any)

And after I’d posted a reply to her stating that I’d intended to blog about it this Wednesday because the final of the three calls was Tuesday, I realized that I’d never posted my video blogs here for my readers. I’d only posted them on Facebook.

I only made two videos. The first is from the day before the first blessing, and the second is the morning after the first blessing. I meant to do one after the second blessing, but I didn’t really have anything to report.

I’ll make and post a third on Wednesday June 8th.

I got all my veggies and herbs transplanted to their permanent homes this weekend. I did most of it with The Book of God ~ The Bible as a Novel by Walter Wangerin on my MP3 player in my ears. Twenty nine hours of the Bible… as a novel. Guess what my book review will be on Wednesday.

And even though I’m not done with it yet, I felt the pull of something new this morning, so I plugged in Advancing Your Spirit ~ Finding Meaning In Your Life’s Journey for my walk this morning. This one is a lecture given by Wayne Dyer and Marianne Williamson.

I took a Reiki class on May 17th, almost 3 weeks ago. Included in the class was a Reiki I and II attunement. So I’m now practicing Reiki every morning. I meditate and send myself Reiki. Then I spent a few minutes sending Reiki out to a list of people that are close to me… ie.. my grandma, brothers, mom, Ash, and anyone who’s asked me to pray for them.

The first week I didn’t do much except to wonder what I should be doing. Then I asked. After I asked I was practically assaulted and bombarded with articles, emails, videos, etc. all talking about raising your personal and spiritual energy with daily exercise.

Since then I’ve been walking a mile every morning. I walk the entire perimeter of our yard, and back through a trail I’ve cut in the woods. It’s such a magical space back there. I just love it.

Then I clean up and go into the sun room where I recline and meditate for 5-20 minutes depending on the day. After that, I practice Reiki.

I’ve been doing this daily for about a week now. I don’t know if it’s due to the regular practice or the exercise or the being in nature. It’s likely a combo of the three. But I’ve absolutely been meditating deeper and longer and easier, and it’s become rather easy to pull in the Reiki energy. I close my eyes and clear my mind and whisper the name of the symbol in my head and I immediately feel my hands start to vibrate. It’s really incredible.

I’m looking forward to becoming even more proficient with it.
