Blessings on this beautiful day,  here and now in this breathtaking moment. Let's settle in and ask ourselves why we are doing what we are doing,  since we're here...take a deep breathe and contemplate this teaching....Hari Aum.

Words of Wisdom  by Ram Dass

The question is, “Why do you do practices?” because a lot of people will step away from this and say, “I ought to meditate.” Forget it. Don’t!

Go out and lust some more. Go until you are so nauseated by your own predicament that you yearn to meditate. Get so hungry for it that you can’t wait to just sit down. Turn off the television, turn off the drama and just be quiet for a few minutes. 

Wait until you really want it, because when you start with “I should,” you end up hating the practice, hating everybody, and hating yourself. Then you cheat and then you get guilty. It’s a whole thing that you psychologically do. Forget it.

You came here and that was an honest thing you did. You are here. What you hear, you hear. What you don’t hear, you don’t, don’t collect it. If it doesn’t stick forget it. It’ll come around again, another lifetime maybe...Maybe 10,000 lifetimes. Who knows? 

Remember Loves, as you feel the pull towards freedom in your heart, it is calling you to deliver yourself from the shackles of your mind. You cannot use logic to think yourself to freedom, you must surrender to your own heart and soul. The way is through being fully present in the here and now, with your breathe, meditaion, and devotion to discovering the truth of the Light of your Being. 

Choose to guide your will with self-love and take up affirmations and mantras to help lift your vibration, as you learn to release the mental activity, attachments, and their associated behaviors, that keep you in a lower vibration. 

True freedom is in every moment and every breath. Turn towards your heart.
