Last night I went to see Fast Food Nation with Kramer. Though I knew the content of the movie, watching it in all it's gory detail was horrifying and I left feeling numb and shellshocked.
What do you do with that kind of feeling?
Knowing that we create that which we imagine, how can you shake a funk so deep? In particular, I had one scene from the movie playing over and over again in my head which haunted me.
To shake it, I have been breathing and focusing on the present moment. Inhaling and exhaling. Being grateful for all the gifts in my life. And consciously trying to imagine the migrant workers who work under these conditions experiencing success, liberation, freedom and health. Every time my mind tries to replay the troubling scene, I am shifting it to surround all those living such lives with bright healing light. It is a tough switch at the moment, but I am trying. Star Flower Essences for "Pure Joy" and "Zania" have been helping too... (www.staressence.com)
I am realizing that where my focus goes, my own energy goes! I need to be a deliberate creator by realizing that these sorts of endless replays of "the bad stuff" just rests my focus opon that -- the negative. I got a new meditation cushion to encourage me to take quick breaks, just sitting and breathing. It feels good.
Experiencing the embodied result of the negative thoughts makes me realize I want to choose only good feeling thoughts! Before I thought I would be considered "high maintenance" by being so choosy about whom and what I expose myself to, but I now realize my health requires conscious choices.
My priorities: Feeling joy, sharing love, enjoying time spent with friends and family, passionate creativity, enjoying pleasure and dance, connection to Source, celebration, gratitude for life, growth and transformation to be more flexible, open and light-hearted, unlimited abundance and prosperity in all areas of life, overflowing opportunities for continued learning through joy, vitality and enthusiasm, empowering others to be radiant beacons of light, and being part of an uplifting and inspiring community.
These are the things that really matter to me. So I am breathing in and out and focusing on them, the positive. If I can attract more positive, then I think I will have a more powerful vision to assist those in need.
Creator teaches me how to see when I am influenced by things outside myself, and quickly reset to my own center! I know that I always have instant access to Source because I am always connected. Thank you for showing me how to gracefully come back to a positive vision! I am so grateful for clarity about the value of feeling good. I re-program my DNA to vibrate in response to good feeling things. I am attracted to people, situations, media, resources and experiences which all vibrate at the highest possible frequency of enlightened joy, faith and positive expectation. I surround those in need with a vision of light and imagine only the best possible outcomes for them. I am so glad to be saturated a vibration of positivity!
