Alot of people don't realise that the majority of people hungry around the world are women... and yet these women produce 60-80% of the food! The answer to hunger, I really believe lies with women. You can send a message of solidarity to women across the world at http://wfp.org/women

Comment on The I Am Enough Mantra

2010-02-19T15:51:40Z

I am currently having to work a lot of overtime and care for my elderly mother and maintain a home and marriage. I also teach Tai Chi which I do for my soul. I recently became aware that I was once again stuffing my feelings. My chest felt like armor. I was moving forward as if I was going to battle. Once I was aware of this, I began to practice with it. Stress-relieving exercises, chi kung, yoga, my Tai Chi, mantra, and prayer and meditation. It also helped to speak out loud to someone about what I was experiencing. Slowly the flood gates opened and the feelings came pouring out. I am feeling better but still having to be mindful of the tendency right now to over extend myself.
There is a wonderful quote from Lao Tse which I don't have with me right now but it talks about how when we "relentlessly push forward" we exhaust our energy and that is not the Way. Also that living in this way will cause death.
Needless to say, I am using all the tools of all the practices that I have learned to manage stress right now and attempt to stay present.
I'm looking so forward to attending the upcoming evening workshop, March 5, on "Awareness" and reconnecting with my soul. Love to all. Sunny

Comment on Month One: Intention

2010-01-28T23:32:35Z

Intention – I remember my father saying, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” 40 years ago that didn’t make much sense to me. As I have matured, I see that good intentions do not always have positive outcomes. Just like Jane Austen’s Emma, my good intentions have often resulted in folly. So, I’ve shifted my take on intention to try to find the motivation behind a thought or action. I try to examine the driving force behind the things I do and try to align them with what I value. I realize that things happen regardless of my intent and usually these events are neither good nor bad, but the way I perceive them defines them in my life. I love these words, “May spirit stimulate my intellect so I am inspired to take the right action at the right time.“ I look forward to exploring the topic “intention.” I look forward to being inspired.
