Day 5 100 Freedom Breaths

5 February 2012

Even though I was tired and slow today, I still held Clarity of Intent to experience the 100.  I ran a bath and soaked within the warmth of it.  As I did I started to consciously breath.  Each breath circulating through my body.  My lazy mind darted in an out of the familiar and I lost conscious count at about 15 for a number of breaths.   When I realised I re-focused and purposefully attended to breathing and feeling the power of presence...

It's so easy in life to go into robotic mode.  To be completely unaware as we move through our day, doing tasks and responding to life.  It's so easy to let the mind simply wander in and out of thoughts and getting taken through the myriad of webs of the mind.  I noticed that this meandering is often with content that has already occurred and plays over like an ad running and re-running on the TV, one thought leading to another and another, I'm sure it has purpose?  Well actually I'm not sure, I feel when I'm in a lazy and unaware state that it is simply noise, mind noise which is familiar and easy.

I have a feeling though, that this mind noise distracts from our incredible creative authenticity.   When I'm aware and conscious of myself, my mind, my body, my emotions through observing, paying attention and aware of my intentions, its a completely different experience all together, there is an excitement, a willingness and an anticipation within me.   This purposeful attentiveness seems to invoke creativity and new thoughts, it plays with purpose and offers new unexplored content.

I'm the first to admit that my mind muscles are what I would call lazy.   They keep running through similar patterns, going over easy already walked and screened experiences, documentaries within my mind that I'm updating and reinforcing.   Why I ponder....

In this moment now I just realised why that occurs (well for me) as the images build I assign emotion (connection) to them, now this I admit has been an unconscious process even though done with expertise by my powerful mind.  However in this moment I realise the purpose of it.  

The emotions feed the energy of the thought, and this then builds the thought into something more substantial.  As each thought runs through - supposedly carelessly, I then acquire the necessary values and beliefs that will build the energy of the thought.   The constant re-run from various angles begins to build a collective of experience.  Goodness I'm in awe right now!  Thats it - what incredible beings we are.  This thought energy then grows and as it is re-run again, it will then be assigned to other experiences - either real or imagined to build a complete system of knowledge within myself of this type of experience.

Let me give an example:   Lets say it its an argument, (by the way - had or not had yet).   The playing through of this "argument" will begin to attract emotions that back up an experience - forward come some options (normally old borrowed beliefs I would imagine) that feed into the thought, these emotions then draw attention to the situation and values and beliefs show up to be chosen to support the current perspective.   Now I know that at the time I'm not aware of this process within me - I'm simply Doing what I do, CREATE!

I'm seriously very excited right now - just having been through this thought.  Ok back to the "argument" at hand. (because that's what the mind would do), now its had time to collect an entire library of resource that will continue to feed that "argument situation" the playing over and fine tuning of tone of voice and facial expressions of the person, feeds into the thought energy and draws even more emotion and a complete string of connection, beliefs and values - this "hardens" the experience to put into play a reaction.   We will then either act out this "argument creation" or store it for a later date!

Fascinating!  Simply glorious.  Love it.

So I'm wondering - keeping in mind the purpose of these 100 Days of 100 Breaths and the purpose to increase and begin to understand Clarity of Intent what else I can learn as each breath allows space to evolve!

Spiritual Strip-teeze

Here is the beautiful creation of Spiritual Strip-teeze.

We are seeking 12 people to are artists and explorers in their own right. Who are open to be expressive and allow their true expression of self to be revealed.

Its time to have way more fun with the expansion and growth factor. To within metaphor play with the idea of spiritual strip-teeze revealing ones self to ourself and allowing other to be them.

WITHOUT all the labels and identities and Have TO's and MUSTS and proper, normal expected behaviours!

Yes enjoying the pleasure of using the fun aspects of playfulness to enjoy, more and more of who we are.

My discovery of myself is that the more freely I allow myself to unravel and enjoy the moment the more I can allow others to be free.

This alone removes old stories and old patterns of behaviour from continuing to plague and rule our lives. This allows a new way of being to emerge and to unfold and express in new ways.

Our current awareness, and my current awareness is just that - CURRENT. What else is possible?

What else could we explore through the removal of layers of ways of being, years of habitual patterning, decades of expectations, centuries of programming and condition.

What else will emerge when we freely dance and drop our layers of clothing?

What songs beats your drum?

Which movement best allows you?

Which expression are you feeling excite about - turned on by?

What your free passion when its allowed?

Spiritual nature and human nature and dancing and allowing male or female, seen or unseen, simply enjoying YOU!

Enjoy your day - your flow your pure divine dance of life.

Thanks!
