World Gratitude, Days 4 and 5

Not much to say about these two days, I'll just share prompts as they came to me. I'm too lazy to add much thought to them, though there is food for thought in the idea of being reborn (day 4) each day. And my therapist was working with me on breathing (day 5) the last time we spoke. All the changes have been putting me into a state of high anxiety and I tend to stop breathing when that happens.

I'm adjusting to my new bathroom and loving it more and more each minute, getting more comfortable with the new logistics of moving in there and using the hand grips. Someone came yesterday to measure the kitchen for the linoleum. Angel is living on top of the refrigerator these days. Poor baby. Her new queendom will be taken away soon. Not sure how to finish getting ready for the next phase. I guess Nate and Dan will bring the new refrigerator and help me move the boxes. I actually sat on my bench yesterday (Shannon got the coveted chair at the computer) and Angel escaped briefly. Thank goodness Shannon is young and fast. Alas, now Angel is on alert for escape and ready to raise my anxiety level through the roof every time I have to open the door. Sigh.

Meant to do Ruby Tuesday today but somehow the day is half over and I haven't done it yet, so I think I'll skip again this week.


Guess that's it for now. Today I'm grateful for my new bathroom, things to come, beauty, life, and music.

BIRTH OF GRATITUDE

Allow Gratitude to guide you through NOW to the

moment of your conception, your earthly Being-ness.

As you journey through to the beginning of YOU let Gratitude

be your guide, remembering a state of perfection, purity, and

one-ness with Source.

One might be surprised to realize how many times the physical

body re-creates itself through Gratitude. So it IS with our

energetic, intellectual, and spiritual Selves, too.

You're beautiful, baby!

***

Go Gratitude!

***

Imagine this Beloved Union happyning within YOU - one beating

true with Love and Gratitude. Feel this pure state of emerging Life

bridging here with NOW, re~birthing *you*, US, everyone

into a state of Grace through the power of Gratitude.

Conception: Two cells merge, form a 'vesica piscis' - a deeply

sacred shape where the centres of two spheres or circles bisect

each other. Next sperm and ova pass right through each other

to become a single cell or zygote. Then: mitosis and the

chromosomes join, then migrate to North and South poles.

Then a tube forms pole to pole and the chromosomes split and

migrate to alternate poles. This is the complete prototype new

human. The zygote then splits into four cells and

forms a tetrahedron inside a sphere. The next division yields

a star tetrahedron/cube in a shape called 'the egg of life'.

These eight cells reside at the perineum - our centre

(geometrically) and literally where we grow from. And an

important esoteric plexus, besides, on which our energy field

fixates. Anyway, eight cells divide into eight more, form a cube

within a cube. After this, divisions become asymmetrical as we

differentiate in all the tiny special little ways that make us, well,

special! At sixty-four cells the embryo becomes hollow and the

poles grown together and form a tube torus, one end of which

will be the mouth, the other, the anus.

So, to sum up: life begins as an ovum or sphere, becomes a

tetrahedron, then a star tetrahedron, a cube, another sphere,

and finally, a torus.

(note: the symbol of Gratitude is a tube torus, too! wow!)

Day 5

(K)NEW BREATH OF YOU

Imagine ...

As (k)newly born beings,

we begin by first receiving,

accepting a naturally abundant source of support

~ the Breath of Life ~

only to immediately return this gift ...

and then begin again.

Give and Receive

Accept and Release

In and Out

Beginning to End

Our breath is a constant companion,

guide, and connection to Life.

So it is, too, with Gratitude!

***

Go Gratitude!

***

Now ...

breathe deeply, as if this is the One,

the beginning, the first breath connecting

You to Now.

Upon release, imagine a state of purity

returning to all creation - this breath

imbued with innocence, Divinity, and Gratitude,

gifted to all by a (k)newly born YOU

***

Gratitude Breath Meditation

Fill your heart with compassion and gratitude by practicing this

simple meditation. Begin by inhaling deeply through the nose

and exhaling completely through the mouth; then, inhale

through the mouth and exhale completely through the nose.

As you proceed, meditate on the mantra Saat Naam

(True Identity). ~ source: Yogi Tea
