The Mask, The Ego

“Our normal sensation of self is a hoax, or, at best, a temporary role that we are playing, or have been conned into playing — with our own tacit consent, just as every hypnotized person is basically willing to be hypnotized. The most strongly enforced of all known taboos is the taboo against knowing who or what you really are behind the mask of your apparently separate, independent, and isolated ego.” – Alan Watts

Stand Out & Embrace Your Light

“Your flesh is not a reflection of your soul. So when you look in the mirror, remember that your light outshines your flaws.”  – D. Antoinette Foy

“When we embrace who we are the world embraces us right back.”  – Amy Leigh Mercree

“Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out?” – Ian Wallace

Needing Help

“Needing help doesn’t make you weak, in fact quite the opposite. It makes you strong, smart, resourceful, and realistic. Being prideful is a weakness. Asking for help when you know you’re in over your head is STRENGTH. Don’t ever forget that!”  – Anon

Reiki Wednesday

A couple of weeks ago, I invited two coworkers to the Tuesday Reiki Circle @ Bagua. These are girls I instantly connected with & we were all on the same wavelength with similar interests. I told them about Reiki & they wanted to experience & learn more. As always, it was an experience you can’t explain. They loved it, and the next day at work we were all excited (yet, calm lol) & we told everyone about it. Now other coworkers wanted to go & wanted to bring their partners.  Word quickly spread & now many people wanted to go. I knew we’d be bombarding the Tue circle so I reached out to my Reiki Master Melissa Aluna Solano & asked if she would host us. She was more than gracious & one of my coworkers offered her place right across the street from work.

We set the date for 8.20.14.

Today, I went to lunch with one of the gals & we headed to Flossie’s, our local spiritual shop where you can get just about anything from stones, crystals, sage, oils, incense, soaps, small furniture, chimes, etc. We’ve already been here a few times together. We both ended up buying Tibetan (singing) Bowls. The other gal bought a bowl the day before.

I get back from lunch and catch up on my emails and read today’s DailyOM, it always comes later in the day. It was all about singing, harmonizing, and vibrations. That’s what “singing bowls” are all about. And who doesn’t love to sing… well I mean, if you can hold a note.

Tibetan Bowl

There were a total of 11 of us, perfect number. We all connected & disconnected on a deeper level, hearts & minds were opened, tears were shed and Melissa was there to guide us & provide her priceless and angelic insight. It was a beautiful night.

In such short time, my coworkers have become like family. Every day we experience synchronicities & “coincidences”, we’re inspiring each other & making deeper connections & growing. Being able to merge my soul family & work family on another level is a blessing! This is what life is all about. Connecting. Creating. Beauty. Balance. Love. Light.

I’m very grateful.

UPDATE: Thursday Morning 8.21.14 – So last night while writing this I kept hearing the ringing of the bowls. I asked Andre if he heard it. He was watching gymnastics and I thought perhaps it was the TV, so I asked him to mute it. I still heard it. I went to another room, I still heard it. I closed my eyes, I still heard it… that high pitched vibrational sound. It wasn’t annoying, but it was lingering.

So today we come in to work, everyone is all smiles and giving each other hugs & everyone else is looking at us strange. One person caught the energy & said, “Wow, look at all this love.” We just looked at them & smiled… in our flow. The world needs more hugs! They feel great. Then, my coworker (who I bought the bowl with) comes up to me and says, “I wanted to ask you because I’m not sure why but all night long I kept hearing the bowls.” I just looked at her, smiled & said, “I thought it was just me.” We both got those happy chills. #Synchronicity #Confirmation #GoodVibrations

Attitude & Outlook

“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.”

John Homer Miller

You Are Valuable

“You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being – not because anybody says so, not because you’re successful, not because you make a lot of money – but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason.” – Wayne Dyer
