Drawing meditation
In the video above, I share my thoughts about going into a drawing meditation.
What is it about drawing and meditation that goย together?
It’s about working quietly. It’s about going into yourself and letting creative expression flow. It’s about non-judgement and non-attachment to an outcome.
What outcome?
Wanting to create a masterpiece or have something “be perfect.”
Honestly, creating something in meditation is perfection in itself – as a result of the action.
Meditation lends itself to higher levels of creativity.
I find that because I meditate so much now, I have a constant flow of ideas – in every area of my life: my day job, with poetry, writing, drawing, coloring, even what I might make for dinner.
And, personally, it becomes a spiritual endeavor – at least for me.
So, let loose and let the markers flow!
Yes, you can draw!
Even if you think you cannot draw, think about the following:
Can you draw a circle?
Can you drawn an elongated circle that looks like a teardrop?
What about a line? It doesn’t even have to be straight.
Those three things are all you need to do this drawing meditation.
If you like this meditation, perhaps I’ll do one with triangles or rectangles and other lines. It’s really so much fun!
Even for this meditation, if you’re feeling brave, addย in squares, triangles and rectangles and I’ll bet youย can create something pretty spectacular.
As you begin…
Take three deep breaths.
Let your mind become still.
Gather your materials and pick your favorite utensil and draw a circle. Anywhere on the page.
Then another.
Concentrate on making complete circles and joining the lines so they are actual circles and don’t look like the start of spirals.
Then look at your drawing and analyze for balance, and the placement. If there’s a large circle on the right, then a large circle on the left is in order.
Once you have a few circles drawn, try a teardrop shape that sort of “hugs” the circles.
Experiment with line thickness.
Pick a few circles in which to draw a few spirals.
Then try some lines. Make some thicker and others thinner.
But, try not to hold onto what you think the image should look like. Just go with it.
This is a good lesson in non-attachment.
This is especially true if you’re new to drawing. I admit that I’ve been into drawing for a long, long time and I usually can just run on intuition when creating something – which is what I did here.
Even if I was on camera, with meditation, I was able to just focus on the drawing itself. I let all my thoughts go except for “circles, teardrops and lines.”
The resulting drawing is what I came up with in about 20 minutes.
If you try this, I would love to know what the experience was like for you. Let me know in the comments.
What are you waiting for? Get out your markers, get a piece of paper and turn on the video.
Online this evening: I’m readingย The Power of Silence by Carlos Castaneda this month and if you’re interested, I’ll be online this evening (Mon, 4/17) from 9-10pm, EST, on my Facebook Page.ย
Loved watching you draw this Cyndi… ๐ and your video I watched twice.. taking those deep breaths with you and Yes.. its calming, and hypnotically meditative.. Love and warm Hugs.. Have a wonderful week ๐
Sue – hehe, I have to set aside my reservations about feeling like I look a fool when I do videos…but wanting to share overrides my desire to be shy. ๐ I am just loving all this meditation: drawing, gardening, sitting, walking – I feel like I’m entering another…realm? Is that the right word? Not physically, but it just feels like things are opening up and I can’t quite describe it. But I’m in bliss. ๐ Thank you for watching the video and I can’t wait to see your posts this week. Sending you big hugs and wishes for wonderful tunes and lots of learning on the guitar and for healing on your back so that you can get right back out to the lovely garden. <3 xo
Well let me tell you that you look so comfortable and natural behind the camera.. ๐ and as for my posts well, not had time to write one.. I am still trying to catch up with everyone’s comments and their posts.. But I do have one that I posted years ago which did not get many views so it will appear new..
Its relevant right now, one of those timeless pieces .. And I think instead of a reblog of it I will re schedule it so it appears like new.. but will have the old dated comments below it.. ๐
So look out for that.. I was when I was in my deeper thinking moods.. ๐ I was searching the other day through my archives.. And as so many new people now following.. They will not have read it ..
And yes.. I gathered about the Video and expected it here today .. Glad I got a sneak preview lol.. ๐
Happy Planting..
I will be back in the allotments tomorrow.. ๐ taking pictures ๐ ๐ <3
Sue – aww, haha. I have probably watched too many youtube videos. ๐ I hear you about comments and posts. I sometimes wonder at what point it is too much – but then again, I love them because commenting builds relationships and friendships. *sigh*
And you have so many wonderful followers that those posts from awhile back will see the benefit from reposting. ALL your content is fabulous. All your content is so moving!! I’m looking forward to seeing it.
Deeper thinking moods. I hear you there, too. Husby and I just spent the last 1.5 hours arguing the merits of the law of giving and receiving, expressing gratitude and how “giving of your time or resources” actually make your life better – or does it really? It was such a great discussion and it made me think about all the things I love to tout here, but actually to justify them. We all know giving, for example, is the right thing to do, but do good things happen to the giver as a result? Or should a person who is a volunteer or a giver ever expect to rack up karma points for some kind of help in the distant future? This was the question we were going around and around with…and it helped me clarify why I believe what I do. ๐
Sneak preview – I love that! Hehe…aww. You just make me smile! As for planting…yes…it’s rainy here and supposed to be for the next few days but this actually makes me happy: spectacular colors await! I hope you had fun in the allotments today! And that your back is all healed up. <3
This is truly awesome and love that technically you don’t need to be an artist for this, but yet can totally express yourself artistically and relax while doing so. Thank you for sharing and once again loved seeing you on video. Happy Monday and wishing you a wonderful week ahead!! Hugs xoxo <3
Janine – aww, thank you, sweet friend! Yes…it’s just so fun to get still and get drawin’. ๐ And relax, yes! Don’t forget the “relax” part. Me on video…I can’t go back and watch, though…can’t do it. LOL.
Happy Monday to you. Thank you for sharing this and sending you big hugs and wishes for a fabulous week! xo
Something I’ve never really mentioned, but I have nerve damage in my left hand, so I really, truly cannot draw…I can barely sign my name. Still, it’s interesting reading and I really wish I could do it, Lil Sis!
Have a wonderful Monday and thank you for spreading a message of peace.
BB – you don’t say!? I had no idea. Huh. Do you do more with your right hand, then? And THANK YOU for your awesomeness – always. I am grateful for – and never take for granted – your wisdom and support. ๐ I do have so much fun with the drawing… ๐
I’m glad you’re having fun teaching drawing and meditation. I loved to draw when I was young, maybe I’ll try again.
blessings, Brad
Brad – aww, thanks! I’m definitely enjoying it. ๐ So many of us draw when we’re young and then let it go, but I say go for it and let your inner artist loose! ๐ Blessings to you and have a wonderful week!
Great article as well as demonstration of your skills. The place you took people is a place we shoukd visit more often as we filter out all the noise in our worlds… well done.
Hugs
Rolly – aww, thank you! I love silence. It’s such a wonderfully loud (in a good way) place! I appreciate your feedback. And I have your email to answer – I haven’t forgotten. I’m wanting to order chaga and have been looking at different websites. I place orders for things like matcha and apple cider vinegar through vitacost and they also sell chaga tea. I can’t wait to order and try it and I’ll keep you posted! ๐
Sounded like a good debate on ‘Giving’ and the ‘Time’ we Give.. There are two ways of looking at things.. One is Do we give of our time freely.. And do we give of our time willingly.
There in is a difference.. For one seeking ‘higher’ spiritual rewards, thinking that they give to others be it money to charity lets say and profess to be a ‘Do-Gooder’ and to those looking at their generosity would think how wonderful.. But to what ends was the deed done.. Was it done to really give, or to make themselves look Good feeding their egos..
I have known a boss like this when in my manufacturing days .. who sat on a board of hospital trust and headed charities to aid local children.. Who contributed to send them on holidays and who smiled for local press. Who on the surface looked to be giving… All very well and good..
Yet their spirit their true spirit was very mean..
They craved for profit margins treated their staff appallingly, and were not nice, unless it suited their needs..
Then there are those who Give of their time.. who volunteer who do not have wealth to give.. But they give of themselves.. Who are there for others,
My neighbour across the road is one of those, She volunteered for over 30 yrs to working in the Hospice.. fetching, carrying stripping beds. Smiling, making tea.. raising funds.. A beautiful Spirit..
When I connected with Spirit some years ago Cyndi.. And I was in Trance.. a Young Welch girl came through and told me her story
I will go find the link as I posted about it..
We take not the possession we gain within our material life.
But we take with us the wealth of our giving hearts..
And that is the difference.. ๐
I would loved to have been a fly on the wall.. ๐
Love and Blessings and I will be back with the link.. ๐
Sue – Oh, I LOVE this! I’m headed to work this morning, but I’ll come back this evening to respond more. Such good food for thought…and I have so many wonderful thoughts about this swirling through my head. I’ll be back!
Oh my goodness, Sue! Your discussion here was what we were talking about!! J kept saying that giving is the right thing to do but that he doesn’t necessarily feel like it’s set anything in motion for him – per se. But I argued that perhaps him volunteering (he’s done a lot of volunteering in the past couple of years) has likely set in motion two things: 1. That if he did it with a genuine heart, he’ll be remembered for that and perhaps, down the road, the probability that someone will call him for help on a project that only he knows how to do is higher and that 2. I do (personally) think that he quite possibly set in motion a higher energy that while it may not be evident in this moment (as he has struggled to find gainful employment for nearly a decade and has tried to start several businesses while helping his mom, working on and upgrading our house, and being Mr. Fix It and being the house cook) that the blessings he bestowed upon others might eventually reflect back on him – likely in unexpected ways. And, to be sure, there have been moments of frustration, but I know that he has a genuine heart. ๐ When people give just for show, the truth of this action, like you suggest, comes out in the end. This kind of practice isn’t sustainable. After awhile, people see the person who wants the “show” and not for the genuine generosity that giving requires.
You bring up a good point, though. Egos crave recognition. They crave being fed. We’re all vulnerable to our own egos – some more so than others. And, truly, this is where connecting with spirit can help diminish the ego and strengthen one’s own spirit (and in this moment, I’m thinking of one of Eckhart Tolle’s books where he talks about this).
When you spoke of this boss you had…I immediately thought of my own employees. I strive to do the job of being there for our kids. I strive to be a good boss to my employees and I truly hope they know that I see them as equals, each with hopes and dreams, just like me. I’m not a “good boss” in that respect. I’m democratic about it – almost to a fault. ๐ I recognize that, though. But when it comes down to it, I’ll step up and “be the boss” but it’s uncomfortable for me. (As a side note, this experience has made an unknown part of me that I didn’t know I had turn into a leader and learn – really learn – how to work with manage and understand people on a level I never knew I’d ever have to know. But, it’s fascinating.) I look into my heart, though, and admittedly think about how I prefer to be more of a wallflower. Hehe. Be that as it may, I think that it’s all preparing me for what’s next – whatever that may be. But, though I’m striving to make a living doing THIS – writing and sharing beautiful things and showing others what it is to experience true bliss – and I’m growing towards that, myself – I am careful to think that I just want to make a living at this – not create some crazy empire with crazy revenues. I hope to truly just inspire.
I strive to be more like your neighbor, every day. I have been looking for a cause (and thus have made it part of my LIFE project) that makes my heart sing in harmony. I have a feeling it has something to do with speaking Spanish (since that is what I studied), but I’m not sure of that, yet. In time, in time. ๐
Now, for the connecting with spirit and being in a trance. WOW! I’m going to read the link now, and I’ll comment back in your second comment. ๐ I also love that reminder: we take not the possession we gain within our material life, but the wealth of our giving hearts. <-- THIS is the line I would have loved to say to husby when we had that conversation. A phrase so-well-put together!
Part of the story I told said
“Jane spoke of an old gent, whose home was a hovel, she said he was a very lonely Grumpy old man, and he were full of bitterness. When he was alive he would shout at the children on his street, telling them to clear off, he wouldnโt spend his money, and would hoard his things, and he hated his life. But most of all she said he was just lonely. His dwelling place he had built for himself reflected this. For Jane said that we each built our own piece of heaven, with the things we bring with us.. All the grumpy old man had brought with him were sadness and bitterness, emptiness and hate. So his surroundings reflected his heart and Soul.”
The rest of it can be found here https://suedreamwalker.wordpress.com/2008/09/08/a-true-story/
Enjoy when you have a moment of time to spare..
Love and Hugs.. And thank you for your compliments..
May we both keep Giving… ๐ of our Hearts.. <3
Sue – that story. I went and read and read until the end, hanging on every word. You are a gifted storyteller, and yes…I’m even more amazed that the story is true! What an experience. Even my husby asked what I was reading because my facial expression was in such awe!
And that last part about the accomplishments and level we “achieve” in life…we only carry the richness in our hearts. So many thoughts are passing through my tired brain just now (it’s bedtime for me here but I just HAVE to comment back on this)…hehe…but all at once I’m thinking about my own motivation, the influence of western society (that drills into us that to be “successful” we have to have things, shiny cars and big salaries. There are times that our egos yearn for this life and the “approval” that would ensue. But it’s not real. That life is an illusion. Because story after story I hear, ALL those people talk about how they accomplished all that – at the expense of their health, time with family, and actually just enjoying life as it is – they feel empty inside. Or they stop caring. Or they become hardened to life’s mysteries and beautiful intuition.
I do think that connecting with spirit – via mindfulness, meditation, prayer or similar actions – can help shield our hearts from the ravages of society’s expectations. That it can give us courage – especially with the help of one’s angels – to be true to ourselves and true to what the world needs: not more successful people, but people who act with genuine care, concern and compassion.
What a beautiful post you did. I shared it on Twitter and I shall retire this evening thinking pleasant thoughts about the genuine compassion the human heart is capable of, the the landscapes we can paint in lovely colors with our beautiful minds.
Sending you hugs! xoxo
You are really talented in so many ways, Cynthia ๐
I enjoyed watching your video and to get inspired.
Enjoy your week.
Irene – oh, sweet friend! Thank you. <3 I hope you have a wonderful week, too. Keep on creating beautiful things! xo
Thank you Cyndi.. Yes… We came to experience Human.. But we forgot many things along the journey.. Losing our Spiritual Path.. Consumed instead by greed.. indoctrinated into a set of thinking… More is Better.. Less is Bad..
Work hard to succeed… If you don’t you will be sure to Fail….
From children we are brought up within that context.. And it was ingrained within me from the age of 15 when I started work in a textile factory, that I had to work hard.. Then it was piece-work.. meaning the more I produced the more I got paid.. It was a theme of working hard all throughout my working life..
Its not until you learn to SEE.. really understand that this thought process was ingrained centuries ago. And our Spiritual pathway was distorted.. Jane said it in her Fear of her father.. He was a man of God… Yet he taught the wrath of God.. Not the goodness .. But Hell and Damnation.. Instilling Fear… has throughout the centuries been used for many purposes..
The Witchcraft act was implemented by those in power within religion. Because of their own fear that others would find a truer path.. One that needs no building or label.. But the power of Mind.. And also the use of Nature and its healing remedies.. We have over the centuries been suppressed this way.. I have had more name calling through those who profess to be religious.. Saying Mediums work with the Devil.. because this thought has been ingrained.. This is also why Big Pharma are against natural supplements and natural healing.. Why certain Weeds were outlawed.. ๐
Because they are in the business not of wellness. But profit.. -Greed- Gain- Where one pill means you take another pill for the side effects..
They are not into health.. Only Wealth.. for the majority of synthetic chemicals drugs are not meant for the Human body..
I have now gone off the subject.. LOL… But you see how we get conditioned.. And why the Native Tribes of EVERY Country have been squashed.. … Because their way is Natures way..
Love and Blessings.. And I know what you are now doing is going to take you from strength to strength..
I will leave you with the music I am listening to while writing.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JpuVyhCDX0&t=926s Its beautiful.. ๐ I love his guitar playing.. ( perhaps in my next life ) ๐ lol
Love and Blessings..
Sue <3
Sue – when I saw this comment come in, I felt so moved about it that honestly, I couldn’t respond immediately. I really wanted to digest this one and take some walks and ponder it – because every bit of it is true and profound. Yes, that is a compliment, but it’s also truth. When you mentioned these things, it made me think back to the events of my life and how I’ve come to arrive at where I am right now.
The idea of greed. This one’s a biggie. And so difficult for folks not to be influenced by “what everyone else has.” People get messages EVERYWHERE: billboards, television, commercials, social media, magazines, their phones, and in real life when it comes to “I have this, don’t you?” AND the idea of working hard goes hand-in-hand with this: work hard, you’ll have things. Work hard, that’s what you’re supposed to do. This idea even goes into hw we do mortgages on houses. The 30-year mortgage is, in the end, designed to span our working lives so that we always stay chained to the idea of having a regular job. And the job leads us to buy things. Then we watch TV (or the internet) and realize that we don’t have enough – that we need more. That having more is what’s supposed to happen. So then we go back to work and work more hours and get home so tired that we plop down in front of the TV or computer to have it happen all over again. We spend our lives asleep. This crazy phenomenon has woven its way so deeply into our collective consciousness that even when we begin to awaken spiritually, we’re still anchored in the trenches of these thought patterns.
Your story that you told echoes this. Even before the Industrial Revolution, in the American colonies, for example, the Puritan view of working hard, being chaste (which that, in itself isn’t a bad virtue) – but it related more to women than to men – and the critical entrenchment of the Christian mindset over the Native American Indians and their repression, the witch trials…with treaties broken and so many other atrocities – this is all still part of our collective consciousness, too. You’re absolutely right: we summarily discarded nature as something to be used and not something that was sacred. It was counter to what society preached.
People ARE waking up to this. I’m extraordinarily glad to see it. But I often think that until we actually reckon with the dark scars of humanity and learn from our collective mistakes, will we overcome our limitations.
I grew up Catholic. I don’t generally share this overtly with anyone except those I trust (and right here with a trusted friend in the comments where…perhaps others will see, but then see the reasoning behind my thought process), but after high school, I began to reject it. I went to school with people all over the world (something I’m entirely grateful for) who believed in different things – and it all fascinated me. It was incredible to see how “my way” was not the only way and that there were beautiful things in what others believed and did. When I got to college, I still lived at home and went through the motions, but as I learned of all the acts of tyranny committed in the name of religion, I became more disillusioned with the institution of religion. I’d long since been attracted to the sacred and started looking into the Divine Feminine, and though I clung to going to church on and off for the next decade, there was always something missing and I didn’t believe what they said. It became more about community.
Now, in the last couple of years, due in part to our move to another town – I am much more interested in going to sanghas or talking to a shaman. It’s taken me a long while to leave the regular church stuff behind. I think Jesus was an awesome dude. He had a powerful message of love – along with other prophets.
But part of why it was hard to leave behind? I’m conflict averse and like to do “the right thing.” I didn’t want to invite conflict into my life by choosing an alternative path. But it was calling to me. It calls to me LOUDLY. When I created this site, it was a true acknowledgement of admitting where my heart lies. But I’m guarded in who I share things with: it is as you said with Big Pharma, with the suppression of Nature and native tribes, outlawing plants. Every single group of people who do not have assertive genes have been suppressed: Africans, Native Americans, and the white folk tried to do it in the Orient, but they had populous and powerful societies. But still, THEY were suppressed when they emigrated to other places.
I do not always understand the different customs and traditions of native peoples (such as the human sacrifice part), but their communion with nature, their ability to live in harmony, their magical ways of dealing with the world – these are powerful and I am drawn to them. I’m drawn to silence and whispering to the trees, the spiders, the ants (though them crawling on me is scary), the animals, the leaves, even the rock people.
I will stop here for a moment, but I will go and respond to your other comment because it reminded me about something about work…
Just read your other comment back too Cyndi.. About becoming a Leader.. ๐ Yes.. I worked my way up through the chain of commands in the textile trade.. Becoming the Training Manager of a huI ge factory that had overseas connections too..
I like to think I connected on every level.. And I gained the respect of those working the on the lines I put in to sew garments up to the directors.. Because I spoke and treated others as I would wish to be spoken and treated..
You see I to me we are all the same.. Regardless… And my Big bosses would say send Sue to negotiate . if they had a problem with workers who were not happy.. Because I guess I instilled calm.. and fairness.. This had to be built with trust.. Keeping to your word and seeing both sides.. And coming only on the side of fairness..
Loving our conversations.. <3
Sue – continuing from the last comment (and am relishing in gratitude at these wonderful discussions)…You worked your way up – from age 15!? Ah, well, I started helping my parents with their nursing home when I was 12, so I understand.
Your spirit, your patience and connection to living things – those people you worked with recognized this. Your ability to negotiate and your big heart – they knew there was something there, even if they didn’t know exactly what it was, they knew that you had Connection and Communion.
I strive to do that in my job now. My personality is already one that invites true democracy: I try to be fair, instill trust, and send out love. I wonder a little bit at my ability to do this: for a long while now, I keep thinking about how I need to be “free.” <-- If there was ever something that is so difficult (and has many lessons to teach me) is the desire to be working on my own and having the time and freedom to put beautiful things out into the world and even perhaps create a movement in which folks strive to get on their own spiritual path of self discovery in tandem with nature and intuition. I tried to leave education in 2012. And, come July, I don't know if our grant will get renewed to continue the program. I desperately want the program to continue. The kids and culture that I know I've helped to build? It's something that I would be sad to see go away. On the flip side - though I know I'm "supposed to be exactly where I am at the moment" and I'm learning profound things - I don't want to work for anyone else anymore. Generally, I set this desire aside and do what I'm supposed to do, but this need to express and release artwork, poetry, thoughts on meditation, living a beautiful, intuitive life gets overwhelming sometimes. Last year when I spoke with Pannavati - the Buddhist nun who led our retreat - she said that I needed to move on from there. That I needed to let someone else - whose thoughts are only about furthering the program - come in. But, I think when the time is right, I'll know. I share that because I understand what you say about your work and working your way up. There is always work to do. We make the best of it. But our skills, desires and needs DO come out. ๐ But you know...I think I've known it's not time, yet. I don't make income from what I do here, currently. And I'm a fledgling in this endeavor. Yeah, I've meditated on and off for over a decade. But...wanting to somehow survive while creating happy things for people - ah, yes. ๐ I also realize that I need to find a teacher of some sort. When I publish the coloring book, I want to use the proceeds to enroll in a meditation/mindfulness course to get certified and to follow the guidance of trained teachers. One thing at a time, yes? I just want to thank you for being a beacon. I realize I've sort of "latched on" to you and your teachings, but you are a wise soul and I love meeting wise souls who truly make the world a better place. ๐ <3
Wonderful! You can express your creative side and relax.. as well as creative a visual piece to be proud of! Thanks for sharing these tips with us, C. You’re a ray of sunshine โฅ
Christy – thanks for coming over, sweet friend! YOU are a ray of sunshine! Your beautiful words just make me smile! I appreciate your feedback. I love to draw and I love sharing with others. <3
Yes I went from C of E. Church of England, Christian to Methodist to Spiritualist.. And Now I am attracted to Buddhism The Eight Fold Path.. Or as the Native American Indians would say the Good Red Road..
And for years I kept my Spiritism separate from work Because that one bombastic Boss in my early years of my ladder climbing from factory floor would through it in my faceโฆ. Making me feel small..
But I learnt to overcome those feelings. KNOWING beyond anything else that the path I was on was the right one.. When something feels right.. You just KNOW.. Like when you set up your website.. It fills you up knowing its right.. No one can explain when you just KNOW something..
And that for me was how my mediumistic gifts often worked.. I would just ask those in spirit to draw closer and trust my inner vision and my intuitive words and open my mouth and out would come the evidence..
I was brought up more in Methodist.. And at the age of 11 went to a Billy Graham crusade in London.. With a trip from chapel.. My parents didnโt go.. They only came to chapel harvest festivals etc to see their offspring sing As we were in the choir..
In fact the five of us I think mainly made up the choir Lol come to think of it.. Haha.
So Jesus was a strong figure in my life.. And I don’t doubt him or his existence.. But over my advancement of perception through the years, I have a different perspective upon how he was able to achieve those gifts of healing.. And why we have held him in such high regard ever since..
He understood the real Universal Laws and how Energy works..
Something we have long since forgotten..
When we do, and we see experiments Like Dr Emoto and water, we go wow.. But this has been in place from the beginning of time..
Our Consciousness is altering vibration.. And our thoughts are conditioning us also creating our present, because we are projecting them into the matrix of energy.. Which then brings them into our reality.. Thus what we think we create..
We Manifest everyday yet are unaware of what we are holding in our thoughts.. The more we focus on what we donโt want.. The more we bring it into our reality.. Its because the power of INTENT is focused upon the negative thing.. Rather than seeing the positive outcomes..
Which is why Cancer and healing is so hard.. Because the ingrained thoughts that when you get the big C, that is it.. So even if your body is naturally healing.. A Dr can come along with a set of results and his diagnosis may be one say of 50/50.. But because we are subconsciously ingrained.. We donโt believe we will get better.. And many do not.
Which is why Gregg Bradens You Tube video on Healing Cancer through No Medicine clinic in China is remarkable.. Type in his name and the above clues, I am sure it will pop up..
Where they visibly show a bladder tumour disappear while a set of people chant over her.. The cancer goes within minutes.. Because of Intent, vibration and belief.. Which comes back to the miracles Jesus was able to perform.. With those who had pure belief.. ๐
Sorry I know I go on .. A lot.. Hehe.. I will stop now haha
Love and Hugs Sue xxx
Sue – before I reply to your comment, I’ve spent a bit of this rainy day reading The Power of Silence by Castaneda. At first the book seemed really hard to comprehend, but I read something that made me come to my computer and have to tell you! Hehe.
Castaneda is Don Juan’s student. Much of the understanding in this book has to do with having the patience to see how the stories play out. But there is a powerful undercurrent here: he speaks of intent as the crux of the universe, and the teacher and student spend a lot of time in silence and learning the warrior’s way.
My thoughts drifted back to what you said here: INTENT. Where our focus lies. I feel a little like the inept student that Castaneda sometimes is (but in a good way, hehe, he’s learning!) – because I understood this before but in actual application I don’t always get it – I resolutely try to focus on service to others both with my day job and with this site here. And that’s *always* where my focus needs to be – not with the “more human” wonderings of what I “want to do with my life” or “how I think things should play out.”
A few hours ago, I didn’t have this insight, but reading this powerful book, taking a little nap as I felt tired, coming back to it and then reading about your comment, well, it’s really funny how perspectives can change.
I went to take a look at that link – quantum healing. Consciousness. What we perceive. I feel like this project has sent me into a really interesting “consciousness” adventure. It’s like I ended up here on purpose, though my “intent” wasn’t quite that.
I’ve thought this for a long time about Jesus – what you refer to here. I’m convinced he spent a lot of time in the Far East and came back – and used his knowledge of consciousness to change lives. And well, I also think he was a mortal who had tapped into the power of the universe and in some ways, then, since we are all connected, perhaps that makes us all immortal.
Sue, I think your heightened awareness and warrior spirit is really touching the energy of my heart. I may have never met you but the day when we do meet, the knowing hug I know we’ll exchange will be beyond words. <3
Wow, I’m loving this conversation, and wish we were all sitting around together, to share more! Even hold a Satsang! These Truths are so important to be taught to our kids, grandkids and others. We are consciousness, and only came here to experience life in these bodies. It’s so joyous to know that Silence of Being, where confusion finally ends, and we come home to our REAL selves. Tks for this wonderful chat, I’ve loved reading all you all have to share. ๐
Hey there, TradeRoutz! ๐ I gotta say, I love these conversations with Sue, too. So enlightening. ๐ I also like the way you think. This is what the world needs: the truth of love and light. Indeed: we are consciousness and what we think manifests. And yes the Silence of Being is where our insights and answers lie – and where we come into contact with the essence of ourselves. Thank you so much for coming over and for your beautiful words. xo
