Who Is Thinking of Who?

Have you ever wondered, who’s thinking of who when you’re thinking of someone that you’ve known who is now dead?   A few nights ago, while doing my nightly routine of appreciation, I found myself thinking about Schatz (our deceased dog) – which made me question, “am I thinking about him or is he here, and I’ve just become aware of him?  Simultaneously, I felt filled with this calm, soothing energy and I knew that he really was with me.  

It seems like we’re separated by death – I can’t see you, touch you, feel you, lick you – you’re gone.  I’m here, you’re not.  But haven’t you had those experiences where you felt a person, or a pet, who was once observable by you as being alive, feel as though they were right there with you; united, no separation, completely involved and existing as energy and focused with you?

I like the idea that there is no death…we just change form.  I like the idea that those we’ve known and those we’ve loved never “go away”; I like the idea that a slight shift in my perspective of what it is I need to see, opens me up to a whole new way of communicating and experiencing someone I’ve labeled as “dead”.   

Happiness Is Like...

Happiness is like peeing your pants.  Everyone can see it, but only you can feel its warmth.  The point is, only you can feel what you’re feeling; no one else can.  And only you create the feeling for yourself; no else does it for you.

Others can observe your manifestations, but only you know how it feels to you. 

Paying attention to how you feel is at the heart of any creation.  How you feel, or how you want to feel is why you want anything…and why you don’t want the things you don’t want.  You want whatever it is you want because at the core of it, you’ve attached or associated with it, an emotion – a feeling it’s going to “give” you.  So when you think about the things you want, think about how you think you would feel if you were living it, having it, driving it, kissing it.  Go ahead, explore how you would feel.  And then explore some more.  Describe it in emotional terms.  It feels free and fun.  It feels easy.  I feel successful.  Successful feels prosperous.  Success feels like choices.  Success feels like possibilities.  Success feels open wide and full of possibilities. 

Find the emotions, describe and explore them – because at the heart of everything you want is an emotion.

And for the same reasons that you want what you want, you don’t want things because you also associate that you’re going to feel a certain way, or you would feel a certain way if that unwanted thing happened.  You fear the emotion more than you fear the circumstance. 

When you come to acknowledge that within everything you want and everything you don’t want is either a feeling that you want, or emotions that you want to avoid, that gives you the opportunity to explore the good feelings and revel in them more, or, address those uncomfortable emotions you’re trying to avoid and soothe them into a better feeling place.  You don’t have to hold out for the manifestation of the thing you want before you can feel the good-feelings you associate with it, and neither do you have to hold yourself in a place of resisting the negative-feeling emotions either.  If you imagine something you don’t want, or something you fear might happen, take the opportunity to feel your way to a better feeling place.

You can find a way to feel good and feel the warmth – and you don’t need to pee your pants to do it.

Rock Your Life - YOUR Way

My daughter wears pyjamas.  She wears them to bed, she wears them to parties, she wears them to the restaurant, she wears them to play, and she wears them to lounge.  Got an occasion?  She’ll be there in pyjamas.  If you’ve seen pictures of her, you’ll know what I’m talking about.  Hardly a day would exist without Franki wearing pyjamas.  While I might choose more variety for her, I’m not the one wearing the pj’s; she is. 

She knows what she wants and won’t be persuaded, manipulated or cajoled into wearing anything other than what she chooses – which is…you got it!....pyjamas.  And while the choice to wear pj’s everyday may not seem so mind-blowing or earth-shattering at this point, I believe that allowing and encouraging her to make the choices about what parties to attend and what her preferred attire is, will keep her creating her life, her way.

So whether it’s a billion dollars or an extra $100; a secluded cabin in the woods or a condo in Chicago; a thriving, world-renowned business, or a decent job; short hair, long hair, fame and recognition or anonymity; a beautiful wardrobe, or a closet-full of pyjamas….

Rock your life – YOUR way.
