As I said before I am a few days behind the rest of you in the book. I realized that I had thought I made it further than this in the past but apparently I hadn't. I think I looked at the book, at where I would have been when that day had arrived for the circle so I would have something to say. That in itself is part of my truth; I had to have a story for everything in my life...to be accepted. Day 19 is where I'm at and this is the day that has proven to be the most eye opening for me.
Earlier today I had a conversation that brought up a lot of stagnant feelings. I didn't feel good. I felt like crawling into a dark hole frankly. Then I decided to do something different, something that I've never done before, because doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is insanity. I decided to go to the book. The first question: "Have you noticed any new awarenesses or insights since before you began?" Answer: I see a different confidence level within myself. Though I've had a turbulant conversation I still have the unrelenting support of Great Spirit. This is where I usually give up. I stop working on me and move into victim mode. I am not a victim and my tangible choices have lead me to where I am. I'm grateful for the lessons, though tough and not fun, my faith has not been rocked. That is a huge change within myself and that feels good.
Then the exercise is listening to the unity tone CD and breathing in warm golden light in and letting it grow on the out breath. I started this in the chair at my desk at work, then started moving around and couldn't sit any more as the urge to move was getting too great. I got up and walked down the hall rhythmically taking steps and filling myself with light. I got to the 6th song ready to be done, trying to make excuses why I didn't need to do it any more. Instead of just turning it off I asked for guidance..."wait" was the response. So I continued listening getting distracted easier and easier, and on the 8th song something started to make me feel good. Didn't know what it was but it was good. At the 9th song half way through it came to me that this time in my life is all guided by a much higher power than myself. I had just been flushed with surrendering trust. Spirit waited until the last moment to see if I wanted to hear what it had to say. This is the first time I have trusted...today, February 2, 2011.
With much thanks and gratitude for my lessons, and this blog to share them on I thank all of you.
Aho
