all that choc pudding turns to suffering. 38 m + 17 m

i have to have it. yes, that was the thought that came when i was gathering food for supper and the choc tapioca pudding caught my eye.

the mind latched onto the thought, wouldn't let go. i forgot i could say no, i didn't have to act on it, i just had to watch the impulse in the thought come and go.

i knew exactly what would happen and i still went ahead and did it. o yes, the power of forgetting.

writing new apps for the mental circuitry. 38 m + 8 m

floating on little pockets of light.

yes, that's what's happening in the spine as i enjoy my steady and easy lotus posture.

what i truly love to eat is ancient food. 38 m + 6 m

i put in a little more effort to extend the nasal resonance at the end of aum a little longer.

after a few rounds it is evident that there is a steady, gentle buzz undulating from deep within the forehead between the brows.

my god-sis. 38 m + 21 m

on one hand the holy-day season is marvelous and wonderful. on another hand it is so very sweet and settling to return to the calming and calm rhythms of day-to-day life.

i know what it is about. i miss my muimui.

your new year promise? mine is...38 m + 4 m

i ask my cool friend millie, what's your new year resolution? pausing momentarily she bursts into a sunny smile and says, i prefer the word 'promise.'

i like that.

a fresh year, a golden block of time

3rd night in a row, waking up to a state of consciousness filled with the sound and movement of the natural, easy breath.

the mind is warmly soothed. the body is relaxed and alert. my whole being is buoyant, aloft on the gentle, undulating life force flowing freely to the horizons of the boundless consciousness, moisturizing every neuron, every cell, every fiber. the sweetness is seasoned with strength. yummm.

mmm. in a little while hwubby and i will be with fellow yogis and...our sweet and dear meditation teacher.

just the thought of it makes me soooo happy.

what a wonderful, marvelous beginning to a fresh year, a golden block of time pregnant with infinite possibility of possibility.

we are all set and ready for it. let's go.
