Welcome to the promise of 2010, a new year, a new decade. The feelings of potential are wonderful to relax into and to cherish.

I know that life challenges will arise, and have solutions as to how to deal with these.

1) Arise early in the day to write my Daily Prayer For Healing

I write prayers in order to open myself at all times to the Divine. Maybe I am one who needs constant reminding. But writing prayers is an exercise in discipline and creativity. It is an excellent writing practice.

Already this year, 1/6/2010, I lost my beloved dog, Mukunda. Writing daily prayers has eased my sorrow, and helped me to face the grief head on.

2) Walk every day with my dog

I now have one dog whose name is Ulysses, who is pictured here. . We go on many walks, we play ball, and Ulysses loves to play “stick,” as well. Ulysses, by the way, took the passing of Mukunda very well, because Muki died in my arms with Ule observing. Say what you will, but animals take death in stride. They seem to innately know that death does not exist, and nothing ever dies.

3) Play my violin at least three times a week

I have been doing well so far with this on. We found a wonderful drummer who plays with us, and we are planning to do a gig for Saint Patrick’s day!

4) Communicate with like-minded people

This is an easy one. Onine and offline, I have friends who I may or may not see eye to eye on all things, nevertheless, we love each other.

5) Commit to loving thoughts continuously

This is my favorite Intention of all. Every moment of every day, we have a choice in what we think and how we think. We can choose love or we can choose fear. I believe a meditation practice is powerfully helpful in automatically choosing love over fear.

6) Allow all the good in the Universe to be my constant companion

This one is easy as long as I have a dog in my life. All the good in the Universe is contained in all the dogs I have ever had. Since dogs are the greatest companions known to hu-mans, then Love is the natural outcome of these wonderful friendships.

What happens if I don’t have a dog?

I’ll have to go out into the world  and find one!

7) See the good in all the people, all the time

I am getting better and better at this one. Yes humans can do some pretty stupid things that end up being amazingly unloving. These things are done out of ignorance.

Forgiveness is the only answer.

See the good in every situation

Let us say I have a particularly challenging situation arise. I have a choice, whether to emphasize the drama of the story, how “awful” it was or is; or I can choose to see all of the blessings  from everything that happened.

I choose the latter!

9) Seek balance in solitude and the company of people

It’s all too possible to be alone too much, or be with people far too much. Seeking balance in these and all things is my wish for the New Year.

10) Cherish the time that I have here on Planet Earth

Every moment is precious. Love it. Live it. Experience it. Do not run away from it.

Om, Peace Amen.

How It Feels To have A Stroke

Jill Bolte Taylor, Byron Katie and Eckhart Tolle have the same
thing in common: all three had a powerful experience of awakening,
and all three have been contented and happy ever since.

Jill had a stroke at age 37 and the illness changed her life. She no
longer was the same person.

She is a neuro-scientist who found the stroke to be fully dimensioned
and instructive. She remembers every detail of the experience.

Ms. Taylor became interested in the workings of the brain because of
her love for her schizophrenic brother. She strived to know more
about his mental illness.

The morning of her stroke, 12/10/1996, she arose to go to work with
a throbbing headache behind her left eye. Thinking she could relieve
or ignore the pain, she got on her exerciser and went through the motions.
She looked at her body as if out of body. She noticed her hands looked
like claws. Her body appeared strangely to her inner eye. Her thoughts began
to slow down.

She got off the machine and when she walked across the room, her body felt
rigid.

As she took her shower, she marveled at the amplified sound of water hitting
the shower stall. When the shower water hit her chest and felt like tiny
bullets, she knew something was wrong and that she needed to get help.

Yet she felt perplexed, intrigued, almost ecstatic, feeling a new respect for
“Life! I am Life! I am cellular, molecular life!”

Jane Bolte Taylor saw her body, her form as light, as flowing energy, as a
beautiful world within. She said her being was a conglomeration of trillions
of organisms, and she felt it all.

Oprah then asked Jane if she saw herself as a stroke survivor or a stroke
triumphant!!

Jane was delighted to say, “A stroke Triumphant!”

Jill’s stroke was a left brain bleed due to a congenital malformation in the brain,
leaving her right brain intact.

The right brain represents the Big Picture, the left brain logic, language, detail orientation,
and analytic thinking.

She lost all memory of who she was, Harvard Brain Scientist, and also lost
her identity.

She wrote a book about her experience called, “My stroke Of Insight.”

Jane said her first stroke of insight was a sense of peace, and she said she
experienced nirvana, heaven on earth, love and compassion of mind.

But now she needed to find the motivation to come back from this feeling of total
bliss, and seek help.

She managed to call her co-worker, by matching forms in her head with the
numbers on her phone. But she couldn’t speak. Her co-worker recognized
she was in trouble and by the sound of his voice, she knew he was going to get
help.

Her experience in the hospital gives doctors and nurses something to think about.

1) Be responsible for the energy you bring to your patients.

2) Show up 100% for your patients. Do not be hurried or rushed.

3) Be a safe haven for your patient.

4) Soften your voice and be gentle.

5) As you care for an elderly patient or parent, know that they are still
here. Speak to them eye to eye. Be with them.

At this point, Oprah cried a little.

Jane experienced a quiet mind before she had her surgery. Some of the
people around her seemed to be thinking, “Poor Jane, she had a stroke.”

But she was experiencing euphoria, a deep place of happiness, even
though she could not feed herself, speak or communicate.

Her mother, G.G., came to take care of her. G.G. was not negative, did
not pity her, and taught her about life, how to get up and walk and
count and talk again with a cheerful and persistent attitude.

As Jane was learning it all again, she said she felt perfect, whole and
beautiful as well as determined to master the intricacies of this physical
dimension once again.

Even as she learned her own name again, who she used to be had died,
never to return. Her family and friends had to let go of the person she once was and
accept her for who she is and allow the freedom for the new Jane to replace the old.

It took her 8-9 years before she remembered her old life. She lost all of her old
emotional baggage and was determined not to regain or accumulate any more.
When people laid their “old stuff” on her she said, No! I won’t do this
anymore.

She lost her pain body, as Eckhart Tolle calls it. (The pain body is emotional
pain that adds up in a person’s life, and can cause tremendous physical pain).

Jill said she changed the rules and created a new game with new rules.

She changed her neural circuitry.

She said all of can do this without having a stroke to accomplish the same thing.

Do this, Jane says, by paying attention to your thoughts. You are not your thoughts.

By purposely living in the present moment, you are allowing the right hemishere
of the brain to take over, and the mind will quickly create restoration to the
physical body.

Also, by concentration on an attitude of gratitude, the right hemishere takes the reins,
and you function from a place of joy and connection.

Jane adds, Choose the thoughts that feel good and weed out those that cause resentment,
and a belaboring of past hurts.

Let go of all of that.

Jane says that when we die, we leave behind a memory of who we were.

What is most important is: was I kind, did I love, did I treat all people and
living creatures with compassion?

Jane said that as a patient, she needed the people who took care of her to recognize:

1) I am wounded, not stupid, please respect me.

2) Repeat yourself and be patient with me.

3) Take your time.

4) Connect with me.

5) Bring your positive energy.

6) Do not raise your voice.

7) Touch kindly and appropriately.

Be with.

9) Allow time to answer.

10) Listen deeply.

11) Be a cheer leader!!

12) Expect complete recovery.

As care givers, we must take complete responsibility for our energy.

This is a great lesson, taught by Jane Bolte Taylor, Ph.D.

My friend and fellow Abundant Babe Master Mind Partner, Joan Adams, told us all about Mind Movies this week.

Here is what she wrote:

“Just saw this interview of a guy from Australia that
could change the way you manifest anything you want
into your life. You really do have to see this:

http://www.MindMovies.com/ vid1/?10754

You see, he figured out this powerful way to tap into the
Law of Attraction that practically guarantees
you’ll get whatever you want.

And the surprising thing about it is it is SUPER easy to do,
you can start doing it right now…and here’s the really cool
part…

*****************************
He’s GIVING it away! ForFREE
*****************************

He obviously understands abundance, because he’s
practicing it in a very big way here:

http://www.MindMovies.com/ vid1/?10754

So what is it about Aussies anyway? They seem to totally
have this figured out, especially when you consider that
the land down under is where we got…

***********************
The Secret
***********************

I’m sure you’ll agree that was life changing all by itself.

And now, this guy has added another dimension to the
Law of Attraction that ramps up how fast you can manifest
anything you want into your life.
