Edit Blog Post
I just came across this saved Blog written in December and shelved for a surprise like today. It is a blog written on Christmas day and I realise that it is pertinent to every day!
Here goes:
Today is special for many people around the World...
Today is just another grey day for many others...
For me it is a day For Giving.
I realise that I have not traveled since the end of March, when I arrived from Rome to get the keys to the restaurant called Ocho and turn it into Nagai...
Nine months!!!!
It really has been years since I have stayed in one place this long!
After all the physical travel of the past years, the time has come for time travel or mental trips or encounters with other dimensions...
Today I have chosen to travel down a path less known, yet remarkable...for you to judge.
I propose a test:
From 1 to 10, how do you feel right now?
1 is terrible, abominable, could not be any worse...
5 is surviving, so-so, blah...
10 is Fantabulous, excited, loving it!
Just take a quick scan of yourself, your life and your feeling. Write it down somewhere that you remember, you will come back and look at it later.
Now, take a deep breath and follow me on this special journey into meaning!
It used to be that the Word was the bond, today it has been forgotten by most people and substituted with legal contracts and fickle promises...
I met a girl called Shalimar and she gave me presents tonight...
Just the name took me into the Arabian nights and the tales that never would end and my adventure began.
In a far away land of abundant resources, the people were accepting and interested in any foreigner that brought in new thoughts to stimulate and inspire, for they knew that by admitting novelty, aesthetic beauty and inspiration were assured.
You see, when you are agreeable and appreciative, you become attractive and beautiful. People open up like flowers under an approving gaze or nod or comment that is balanced and focused on the being rather than on the exterior trappings or public merit.
Everything that we are living at this precise moment is the
fair and just result of our doing.
Shalimar gave me a lucky snake and a lucky hare. She was very authoritative as she gave them to me, wholly believing in her candid and carefree way. She said that I should use them when needed. I was grateful and accepted graciously.
As the journey went on, my spirits soared with magic carpets, timeless spells and unselfish genii. All of my humble wishes were honored and fully satisfied.
I found myself walking barefoot along a riverbed, enchanted by the trickle of the water and the natural beauty in a serene state of aware clarity.
I reflected on the whole of my life and intentionally began to travel back in time to those challenging moments where I confronted my fears and grew. That was easy.
Then, I knew that to complete the step of conscious and constructive growth, I had to go back to those tough moments when I had not been corageous enough to powerfully rise up to the occasion. Those moments when I could have been more generous, more confident, more considerate, brilliant, flexible, ethical, honest, noble, spiritual, etc...
Those moments where understanding was required
to be able to impartially see where the other person was coming from and then...
It was totally clear!
I was causing all of my present aches, pains and uncomfortable life situations by holding on to a whole boulevard of lost, forgotten and broken dreams, expectations, hopes and attachments.
I realised I was in a knot. A knot of blocked energy, pain and stress.
I was ready For...
...Giving!
So, I looked up and there was an eagle to pick me up and carry me high into the air to view the whole of my life...a panoramic view!
Everything was in place, flowing, except for those events and people that I was still blocking.
I smiled at the eagle, who winked back and took me even higher...Soaring over the landscape of my life, I remembered the lucky snake and hare that Shalimar had given to me...Machu Picchu flashed by and I finally knew that the snake was the healing medicine from the earth and that the hare was the trickery and the fear...to either escape or to dance.
I sent the snake down to heal the pain that I had caused
and I danced with the hare, facing the fear...
The fear of asking for forgiveness for all of the mistakes and facing the judgement and shouldering the responsibility.
Like this, today, my life must be a 10!
And if your life is not, then how come so high? What are you doing right, what have you done so well that you are so on your way to... Fantabulousness!!!
More coming soon!
Abrazos
