Pay Day

Today is the first day I'll be receiving a paycheck from Boeing in 6 months.... and it feels good. I've been back to work for nearly 2 weeks... although working from home in beautiful Three Rivers. Reconnecting (virtually) with my Boeing buddies has been wonderful. It's like I never left. Most people ask, "Why did you take a leave of absence?" "Sanity sabbatical" I reply. Yes, everyone needs one of those. I'm grateful for the ability and the guts to do it. We Americans are on the economical fast track... well, many of us are. I am surrounded by a number of people who do not place as much value on money or things, but rather the unseen. It's ALWAYS good to see differently... and then differently from that.

During my time off from Boeing, I also like to say, "I got fat, dumb and happy." To me that means, 'unconcerned about so much responsibilities, empty of the drama, much of the illusion, and what I believed to be true, and tranquil' Hand Analysis, EFT, and Hypnotherapy wasn't work to me. That was/is living! Now, it's a matter of blending - blending the tranquility with everyday affairs. How is that done? One tip I came across last night follows.

Our brains are pretty darn powerful, agreed? In the East, the brain is recognized as the thousand petals and is the seat of complete Consciousness. There are many levels of consciousness, but let's just start where we are. "The Bhagavad Gita Interpretations of Sriyukteswar" describes that below the brain and above the backbone, between the eyebrows there is a Kurma nerve, also called the medulla. When concentration is focused on that nerve, a light reveals that destroys restlessness. Take a moment and close your eyes. Take in a breath and focus on this spot. See how it feels for you.

Peace
