Head full of stuff? NO MIND!

A quick way to unburden after a busy day!

Head full of stuff? NO MIND!

Sweetie Pie

I know what addiction is. Many years ago it used to be cigarettes. Now the monster has had an identity change and returned as sugar.

You may say, there is nothing wrong with sugar craving, nothing wrong with an odd treat. Now, what is right, dealing with fatigue by going for a walk or eating a candy to pick me up? Celebrating summer by feeling the sun on my skin & walking barefoot or by having a huge ice cream? Looking closely into nasty gnawing feelings or eating a whole pack of profiteroles?

Up Up Up

Propped against the sturdy Glastonbury Tor, I slowly unwrap myself from a cocoon of a brief meditation on the top of this mystical hill in South West England. I just about come out and drop back again. It’s gooey like hot caramel. My body is trembling a little. A very earthy feeling comes, tinged with wind and sounds all around.

A man giving a lecture about the Holy Grail, birds, bum is cold against the stone, the foot gone to sleep, a choir of birds, a child chirping in Russian, wind against my face, so happy I wore my hood, breath in and out... It’s similar to the state when sleep is no more, but awakening has not fully come yet. Similar, but enriched with hearing, feeling and being here and now. I open my eyes, vibrant blue and green around. Something comes up from inside, around solar plexus, up up up and hahahaha becomes a rolling laughter! Out loud! Giggling and laughing, loud and not so loud! It just bursts out, I am simply helping along by letting my body laugh. It feels so normal and natural to laugh like that, with no apparent reason. Thanks to Osho, I can now allow this joy to become a free laughter even though people around might be freaked out by it.

Talking about freaked out – I’ve got audience! A thin man in his sixties, piercing blue eyes, binoculars around his neck, is tucked against the wind in the corner of the Tor next to me.

“May I ask what’s been happening to you?” he inquires as soon as I look at him.

A bird's song

This morning a bird’s song woke me up. For the first time in my life. Birds are singing, but I don’t normally hear them. Today they were also accompanying me in the morning meditation, and this song brought waves and surges of love coming in and out of my heart. This sounds too wishy-washy I know, but hey it is electrifying to feel how many amazing people are around, people I sometime don’t notice because my mind occupies me. So, thank you. Lots of love to you.

11.11.11

Getting married? Nothing? Having a coffee? Typing away on your keyboard? Praying? Making love? What will you be doing on 11.11.11?  

I suppose you don’t have to actively think about doing anything – I’d just look and the combination of 11.11.11 and feel what response it awakens in me. But in case asking yourself a question like that is too wacky in your books,  there are a couple of things that a combination of figure 11 might actually bring about (or so I read) – illumination, compassion, healing, clearing. All and nothing.

In case you’re wondering why this day should be any different from yesterday, again I’d start from another end – do you want this day to be different from yesterday? If you ask yourself, not your mind, but maybe your heart, how do you feel today and listen to the answer… then you will have your own 11.11.11.

With lots of love 

Why should I be wearing a bra?

If you sleep with your bra on, read no more…(if you do read on, no offense please).

My body is wondering… if I’m not jumping about and in need of support, why should I be wearing a bra?

- To hide my breasts from people…or, men, in particular –I don’t want anyone perving at me if I get jiggly or a bit cold

- To feel sexy – in my conditioned mind a piece of lacy fabric that actually restricts me equals sexiness and seduction

- To enhance and create a particular shape – flaunt your assets type of thing

- Because that’s what you do with breasts – tuck them into a bra

So, basically I’m reading shielding, fear, stuck habits, attempts to “improve,” bogus mating & attraction stereotypes. Lovely.

Action plan – no bra whenever I feel like no bra, summer is a good time to start. Jiggle on!
