Last Day of November 2008
Five years ago, I began to teach a practice that impacts the neuropatterns of our brain and gives us time out from linear thinking (the looping thoughts & dead end thinking). I began to work with people using a series of practices that bring our thoughts into alignment with what which connects us to life and has us live as whole. When we, Deb and I, used it regularly we were no longer in despair of futures not yet realized or sluggish and out of touch with what we were creating. It was so cool! Now several years later, I had gotten busy (lazy :)) and stopped doing the practices. Feelings of being weighed down and sluggish and unable to fully facilitate with all my heart my life crept up on me and I began to feel like everyone else. Something I do not enjoy.
Then I picked up the practice again. DUH!!!!!!!!!! and Wallah! I instantly entered the kingdom. What is the kingdom I am speaking of! It is a kingdom of syncronization and awareness of who we are as an aspect of the great magnificient whole of what which each of us is an essential part. Felt good to be back again so I wrote the following:
What constantly amazes me is when I go back to do an observing particularly on the Craving what ___is for me is___ I am shocked at how I have been assessing myself as still being the same old same old… Yet when I read the Craving and am preparing to do the Observing I am aware that I have an image of how I would be. I would not watch TV anymore and I would not eat anything. I would drink a shake at night and that I am not doing that defeats me. Yet when I do the observing, I can’t miss I walked for 3 hours with my daughter. I am on the treadmill or walking every day and that I am really really working out what to eat and that things have narrowed down to some refinement of my awareness in that area. For instance, I now know I lose weight on low carbs, and at the same time I lose vitality if I don’t eat good cellularly fulfilling food in my proteins. So I can see that I am now searching for a balance and that I am not a 9 to 5 carb and sugar eater anymore. I know I would not be aware of this easily without doing the metapoint practice.
The Metapoint Practices create a powerful way to get the overzealous fight or flight mechanism in me to calm down so I can actually be present to my life and start to navigate it from wholeness. The other powerful thing about the Metapoint Practices is that I can actually track my progress in a certain area and I am not defeated by the image of what I think that progress “should” look like. I can “stay” in.
I have worked hard the last two year in having people examine their concepts of reality and see it they serve them anymore and find new concepts within which life is enhancing not defeating. The Metapoints Practice is awesome for this. Now I can see as I can see what concepts no longer serve me that the images I have attached to results and how I “should” be and what they “should” look like are not so dominating when I am in a steady practice of doing the Metapoint Practice.
In 2009, I intend to have classes working with people doing the practices. I believe we are finally ready for a new mind. HURRAH!
