Breaking Through to Miracles

shine.JPGThanks to all who wrote in support of last week's challenging situation. More than anything, I was taken aback at how *unstable* my emotional centerpoint was.. how vulnerable to swinging so intensely over something that obviously wasn't life threatening. With several days of reflection, I realize that even though it was hard to feel those mixed emotions and confusion, it was really a miracle in disguise because it has brought me closer to what really matters more than anything -- a sense of Connection.

I decided to take the day off and spent all Friday up north in beautiful land, meditating, contemplating, listening to soothing music and some Agape sermons from Michael Beckwith. Luminescent raw food, phone calls to a few girlfriends whose happiness shone through the line. Wandered, breathed, enjoyed the radiant sunshine. I drew my focus back to all the phenomenally positive things going on in my life --- the photoshoot I had don in Hollywood the day before at the biggest movie poster production house around (whose walls were covered with Spiderman, Titanic, Braveheart, etc)... I thought about the amazing contract I am signing with a massive organization who could literally transform everything about my whole life ... I thougt about Kramer's and my anniversary coming up and how grateful for him I was... how grateful I am that my mom has moved to San Francisco and that we spend so much time together ... grateful for my car, my body, my life, my friends, my freedom, my joy! Everytime a difficult thought came up, I just tried to replace it with one of positivity. Upon returning to the City, I went to the Best of the Bay award ceremony at the De Young and my energy continued to ratchet up the emotional scale with all the happy smiling faces and exhuberance. My mom went with me and was in the picture with me inside my hoop, which was fun in a very tickling way. We went to my favorite resturant, EOS, and sipped delicious wine while nibbling on succulents. Curled up with a movie and slept like a baby.

I spent all day Saturday day alone, beginning with meditation and then organizing every nook and crannie of our apartment, top to bottom, inside and out. I restructured my workspace, especially, to make a place for a mini altar of bright joyous colors. I added reminders of working as part of a larger divine plan to bring more joy to the planet. The whole time I organized, did laundry, cleaned, etc, I just focused on my breath and as I brought order to the space. Soothing music played with sweet oms and mountain streams and soft flutes. Order seemed to replicate it's soothing pattern in my mind and heart. I ate deliciously prepared raw food and flooded my body with water and good thoughts and remembered to floss and take my b-vitamins and flower essences. Then I journeyed south to Mountain View back to East-East Bookstore and came upon some inspiring resources.

As I paged through books and listened to various celestial music cds, I sensed my point of connection shifting up and into a wider connectivity with all people and things. My ego and all it's little worries seemed to shrink next to my own excitement and gratitude for even being alive, having the ability to transport myself so quickly and easily, a functional and beautiful body, and all the things of life. I even felt grateful to my brother for doing what he did since it allowed me to act in my own integrity and inspired me to immerse back into my spirituality to recoup. It was then that I picked up "Inspirations from the Heart" by Reverand Michael Beckwith with vibrant art by Rassouli, a book which I have picked up and put down dozens of times before... but this time, after opening it and reading the first page, it felt like all the cells in my body stood up tall and at attention:

"You are
The Universe in miniature
A Limitless being born to
Reveal the Hiddden Splendor of your Soul"

I paged through and breathed deeply with each page... soaking in the art, the radiance of the words, the feelings they juiced from my body and was instantly captured. What a gift. I left with that book and another called, "The 15 Minute Miracle Revealed" ... a slightly odd but captivating book about a daily 15 minute miracle making process to transform consciousnes.

This morning, meditation to begin the day, contemplation of "Inspirations from the Heart" and now I just opened "The 15 minute miracle"

I got to page 6 which is called, "The 15 minute miracle in a nutshell" ... so here are my responses to the exercises there:

Today is a day of joy, beauty, and tingling yumminess!
Today I will focus only on those things I want to attract into my lfie! I look for the good in all situations, people and experiences. I know that every experience is a gift which leads to opportunities for accelerated growth, happiness and connection. I choose to see everyone around me in the best light by focusing on that which i admire and enjoy about them. I have eyes only for beauty and goodness. I lovingly guide my thoughts towards more ease, peace and zany fun.

Thank you.

Sunday Night Hoopdance Practice

Bay Area Hoopers was fun today, but cool and drizzly... I had fun, but even more fun tonight during my hour of personal practice. Set the kitchen timer to 1 hour... I turned on some of Kramer new mixes and rocked out in the livingroom again, whizzing by the tv and lights by inches and somehow kept it contained. I was super inspired by one of Beth of the Hoop Path's videos on my YouTube favorites list.

I played with endless reversals on vertical and horizontal planes, letting my legs dance up as if on marionette strings in response to the music and breaks. Over and over and over again, I specifically practiced Barrell Roll with Snake with a vertical float to vertical isolation to a float down, in both directions, breaking back one way and then to the other. Over and over again. isolations, isolations, isolations. I am finally able to do the float up with my left hand in Limbo at Booty Bump, which had been more challenging last week.

While dancing to the thumping house music, I felt this shimmy of adrenaline through my body.. sensing the nearness of Burning Man! I can't wait to play with friends on the playa! I can't wait to be inspired and to unleash and let go with no space considerations!

While hooping, I noticed that my left hand is getting stronger and gaining more precision. Overall my hoop has accelerated, but every time I notice a sloppy wobble I just inhale and focus on balanced planes rather than speed. Again reminding myself to mobilize my legs, lifting higher into leaps. Playing with vertical isolations while dancing left and right, up and down with shoulder shimmies.

After several days of pratice with a clattering hoop, today I finally got Spunk while hooping in my outflow/second current. No falls! Finally! I think the shorts had something to do with it... skin is stickier. But it felt so sweet to finally have the hoop at home orbiting my legs this way.

After practice I walked over and looked at myself in the mirror and appreciated myself. I smiled, realizing that I look great. The internal critic can be so decieving sometimes. I love my body! Hooping rocks.

15 Minute Morning Miracle Practice

sparkle.jpg Okay, so I am reading "The 15 MInute Miracle Revealed". It has a lot of the same ideas as in "The Secret" but condenses it into a daily practice of writing and conscious languaging and thinking. I'm game for any new approach, so this is today's miracle making practice, as far as I understand it yet only 54 pages into the book (with help from the suggestions there):

Today, Monday August 6, has bountiful oportunities waiting for me to enjoy them! I consciously choose my thoughts because I know I am responsible for what I attract and create in my life. Starting today, it is my intention to find it easy to identify the choices which are most radiant and positive and to make them again and again with ease.

I feel so grateful for my ability to take time to do this practice!
I love that I can control how I spend every minute of every day.
I appreciate all the clean water I have which is always available to me.
I am so happy that I can choose a hot shower anytime I please!
I am full of thankfulness that we have so many wonderful plants in our apartment.
I appreciate my husband's smile and his energetic personality.
I love that I have time and focus to practice hooping every day.
I appreciate those who are successful because they demonstrate what is possible.
I feel so fortunate that I can see the doctor I need to today.
I feel so grateful that I have a wonderful staff who is always efficient and positive.
I am ecstatic that we get to go to Burning Man this year!
It feels wonderful to have functional technological tools like my computer which help me connect in so many ways.
I am grateful for all the windows in our apartment!

I love it when I feel elated. When I feel elated, I feel as if anything is possible. Feeling elated makes me feel connected to the infinite possibilities of the universe. This makes me feel like a miracle magnet!

Kramer and I now have a luminescent,spacious house with a detached garage, on a tree-lined street in the Bay Area.
We also have a wonderful vacation house in the jungles of Maui which sparkles with good energy and bliss.
We love our homes, all the amazing resources which surround us and the loving community we have.
I am having fun through play while sharing health, wellbeing and joy with millions of people.
We spend less time working and more time laughing, playing and sharing romantic adventures.
We are the happiest, healthiest, most positive, prosperous and enthusiastic people we know!
Our lives are full of continious miracles! Thank you!

I now feel an outpouring of delight, happiness and bliss! I feel totally alive and inspired on every level.

I now invite assistance from a higher Source of light and love. Thank you for your divine assistance and guidance as I make my daily choices. Please guide me and allow only that which is in my highest good to unfold at the perfect moment.

I see myself easily focusing on the things that will make the biggest difference in my life.
I see myself realizing how to move from my bliss and joy in every moment.

It is done! My life sparkles with light!

Miracle Making on Tuesday Morning

images.jpg Well I re-read my blog yesterday several times. Althrough it sounded slightly cheesy, I have to admit that it really helped me hold an intention for the whole day day! Here is today's miracle manifestation rant.

Today, August 7, 2007 is a brand new day for remarkable synchronicities, shockingly beautiful coincidences and transformational breakthroughs!

Starting today, my ongoing intention is to cultivate a dedicated focus, crystal clarity and remarkable follow-though for every task I set out to accomplish.

I truely appreciate all of the many friends, family and co-creators who surround me because they allow me to feel support while I magnifiy my creative vision.

I am so grateful for all the insightful resources for self awareness and spiritual connection which flood into my life in greater and greater amounts because they allow me to come back to center faster and with more ease.

I am happy that I have been given the opportunity to bring hooping to the masses as my career because it allows me to deepen my own passion, devotion to dance and step into my own truth and beauty more fully.

I love to feel delight! When I feel this way, I feel flooded with wonder and awe and I smile all the time. Delight literally lights up my whole self and makes me feel like walking sunshine. Being flooded with delight and sharing it with others gives me energy and a sense of connection to the All that is.

I now have an abundance of love, money, miracles, magic and everything else that can serve my highest good! I know that everything is being delivered to me at the perfect time and in the perfect way to help awaken and enlighten me. Because I am overflowing with abundance, I have a lot to share with the world through my classes, writings and other exciting projects. I move from overflow to greater overflow and generosly share tools for transformation to help humanity embrace more peace, play, and love. Because I have more time for laughter, love and connection with loved ones, I am grounded, energized and divinely inspired to give more in many ways. There is a natural flow of giving and recieving in my life which feels wonderful!

I now feel connected to an unlimited energy source which allows remarkable miracles to happen all the time.

Cruisin for Miracles on Wednesday AM

images-4.jpg While continuing to read "The 15 minute Miracle Revealed", a flier fell out advertising a weekend miracle playshop this friday, saturday and sunday in Los Gatos. It was a spontaneous inspiration, but yesterday I called and signed up. Something about being surrounded all weekend by other people focused on realizing all the miracles in their lives feels right for me now... a medicine I could use.

So, here is Wenesday morning's miracle invitation.

Today, Wednesday August 8 will be a a shining beacon in my life! Today is a brand new day. I chose to be wildly awake, alive and aware that I choose what I attract and create in my life.

My ongoing intention is to to focus on accomplishing everything I set out to do with efficiency, ease and attention to detail. I choose my priorities with care and follow through on each task with precision. I love having this degree of clarity! I have fun focusing on the tasks which will make the biggest difference in my life and releasing other tasks to the amazingly helpful individuals assisting me.

I am so grateful that I have time to sit down and appreciate my life in words every day because it makes me feel whole. I love that I can make time to center and focus my thoughts and create new beliefs because it empowers me. I feel flooded with gratitude for my ability to make changes which I feel are in my higgest good so I can keeping growing. I love making time to be inspired and connected to those I love so I can feel joy.

I love it when I feel peaceful. When I feel peaceful, my mind relaxes, my body feels soothed and my breathing is deep and slow. When I feel peaceful, I feel clarity which helps me focus on the things that really matter. When I feel peaceful and calm, I am able to see all the miracles which surround me more clearly. When I feel peaceful I can allow everyone to be who they are and I choose to focus on what inspires me. When I am peaceful I feel connected in a way which allows me to slow down and feel good. Peace is beautiful.

I now have an abundance of peace in every aspect of my life! I make all my decisions from a place of relaxed consideration and connection to Source. I make choices based on what brings more life energy and radiance into my life. I elect to do the things which restore my body, awaken my mind and help me feel more health, love and joy.

I can expand time when I need more and easily accomplish everything I desire with joy! Every day has ample time to play and enjoy being alive and abundant.

When I do work, I find that I am miraculously able to accomplish much more in a much smaller amount of time! I easily tackle all the biggest tasks with confidence and enthusiasm. Every moment my own goals and focus are becoming clearer and I am find I am already well on my way! When many items requre my attention, I stop and breathe and remember what really matters .. health, love, peace .. and I focus on what brings more of those things in.

Kramer and I are the happiest, healthiest and wealthiest people we know and are always learning how to communicate in clearer and more empowering ways. We are delighted now that we have found our new home and have created more boundaries between our personal lives and our work/play lives. I love finding new things to admire in him every day.

Raw Food Miraclizing

highres_151361.jpeg In addition to reading the "15 Minute Miracle Revealed", which has inspired my new daily practice, I have also been meditating on the fabulously gorgeous "Inspirations from the Heart" everyday. The combination of visionary art with profound truths is deep.

From midway in the later book Michael Beckwith states, "Miracles are simply insights into the true nature of my being." The image shows a human being who is crouched expanding out into pure, radiant light and an energetic gridword which looks like it surrounds the planet. It stirs my heart to contemplate this page. It helps me remember all people and things are connected though energy because we are all energy. The image suggests that unleashing our own radiance allows the seemingly miraculous, but actually just the scientific reality, of synchronicities (law of attraction) to leap into action.

So on to today's miraclizing:

Today, August 9, 2007 is a clean slate for me to enjoy life in every way possible. I know that I can choose my thoughts and thereby choose what I attract into my life.

Starting today, it is thrilling and fun to make healthy nurtitional choices for my wellbeing and health! Before I eat any food, I contemplate how much vitality it will introduce into my life. I am wow-ed by all the opportunities to eat nourishing foods! I am compelled to choose raw, vibrant foods, especially green foods because they are so delicious! I also easily drink several gallons of water per day. Water is my favorite beverage because it is so delicious and pure, and I seek it out at every opportunity.

I appreciate the wealth of love in my love because it allows me to feel connected. I love my healthy body because everything works perfectly! I relish my private writing time every day and savor time to contemplate life. I am also ecstatically grateful for all the little things which come easily into my life! ... like phone calls from good friends, invitations to do fun things, assistance from mentors, opportunities to open my mind and heart, exploring new places and enriching experiences, quality skin care products, great clothes which keep me warm and dry, a fantastic apartment with structural integrity, wonderful floors, windows and spaciousness, any food I want to eat, all supplies needed to run a thriving business, time to relax and enjoy life!

I love feeling healthy! When I feel healthy I feel infused with energy. When I feel healthy I feel connected, peaceful and joyous. When I am healthy I feel radiant and it is easier for me to attract more miracles into my life. When I am healthy everything happens perfectly.

I now eat 70% raw foods with enthusiasm and it has allowed my body to gain an optimum level of vibrance and health. I glow with energy and aliveness!

My awareness of all the love which surrounds me has been amplified and I feel total peace and joy regardless of outside situations.

Kramer and I enjoy playing on wonderful dates, trips and adventures which allows us to gain a deeper appreciation for being alive and having the gift of eachother in our lives.

I now easily exercise daily at an intensity which continues to improve my health and wellbeing.

It is easy for me to integrate hooping into my daily life because it has become a wondeful habit.

My body is clean, pure and saturated with life energy which allows me to attract wonderful people and opportunities to myself every hour!

I feel extremely grateful, happy, healthy, nourished, peaceful and invigorated.

I now invite assistance from the larger Awareness which dwells within all things. Dear Awareness of All and all who walk by me in health and vitality, Thank you for your perfect guidance as I navigate my daily health choices. I know you are constantly present and helping me to select everything with ease that imbues healing and wholeness. If it is in the highest good for me at this time, please orchestrate the following in the perfect way:

Please help me to always choose foods which have a high level of aliveness

Please help me to choose green foods at every opportunity

Please help me choose yummy raw foods foods

Please help me to drink large amounst of water with joy and ease

Please help me understand my body's messages more clearly

Thank you!!!!

At the Miracle Making Seminar and Today's Practice

Yesterday morning I drove out to Los Gatos for a weekend playshop with the Jaquelyn, the author of "the 15 Miracle Revealed". We are in the mountains outside Santa Cruz in nice sunny hot weather. Wow! All I can say is I am so grateful to be here with a group of such passionate people devoted to transforming their consciousness. We have been going through the philosophy behind becoming, "one of the happiest people we know" and the writing and thinking exercises where we can transform any limiting beliefs into remarkable gifts of insight .. so we can eliminate negative charges experienced in specific situations and be more peaceful and authentically joyful ... working with the art of allowing to enable others to be who they are while we walk our own paths. Full on Secret-stuff, , working to reprogram the dna of all of our body's 70+ trillion cells. It is interesting. At moments it all seems so basic and obvious to the point where I wonder what I am doing here... and I had a moment of skepticsm come up with one of the exercises... but it really does seem to be working. Since I keep getting insights through the work I realize it is part of an ongoing lifejourney. I think I'll never "too advanced" to get gifts from workshops like these unless I'm feeling peace, balanced and feeling blissful all the time. As with these types of events, it is really the attendees who bring a lot of the magic as well... what talented, gifted people are here!

An interesting side note on my raw food miraclizing from thursday... yesterday I was able to anchor the intention to choose raw, unprocessed foods over 70% of the time and I flooded my body with delicious, purifying water. Horay!

On to today's practice.. I have to scoot off to class!

Today, Saturday August 11 is a clean slate for me to experience appreciation, joy and love at a degree I have never before experienced. I am grateful that I can choose my thoughts and thereby choose what I attract into my life.

Starting today, it is easier and easier to choose raw foods whenever I am given the opportunity because I am magnetically attracted to anythign which can bring more health, radiance and vitality into my body. I observe the foods I choose to eat closey and take time to appreciate all the energy which went into it being there -- appreciating the seeds, the farmer, the soil, the farm workers, the drivers, the produce staff, the preparer and especially the life energy of the food itself. I think about the water I choose to drink and contemplate it's jouney from deep inside the earth to my glass, sending thankfulness to all who allowed it's transport to me. I choose to eat slowly to savor each bite and feel gratitude for the delcious flavors and nutrients. I drink water as often as I can, savoring it's purity, moist minerals and hydrating effects.

I appreciate so much in my life! I apreciate being able to come out to meet and study with others who are interested in living in a miraculous world. I appreciate that I have the discipline to meditate because it allows me to feel so peaceful and centered. I appreciate this inexpensive hotel where I am staying because it allows me to rest with ease. I appreciate all the fun, interesting and talented people who are attending this workshop with me because they each allow me to understanding how to live a passionate life in a new way. I enjoy all the wonderful learning materials we have been given to support our experiences, wonderful textbooks and other fun supplies. I appreciate the SUN which is shining so BRIGHTLY here in this area and the wonderful nourishing WARMTH which surrounds my body! Thank you ! Thank you! Thank you! The sunshine and warmth makes me feel happy and relaxed and comfortable on many levels.

I love feeling inspired because it allows me to grow and expand in new ways. I love feeling happy because it relaxes my body and makes me feel open. I enjoy feeling playful and easygoing because it helps me feel flexible and fun. I love feeling healthy and fit because it allows me to use my body at a higher degree of endurance and for more personal expressiveness.

I now eat 70% raw foods with enthusiasm and it has allowed my body to gain an optimum level of vibrance and health. I glow with energy and aliveness!

I am able to allow others to be who they are because I am able to connect to my own divine inspiration to carry out my own lifestyle of choice.

I am one of the happiest people I know!

I seek out physical movement and exercise at every opportunity and it feels fantastic!

Hoopdancing is a part of my life practice and presents a wonderful sense of grounding and connection.

I now invite assistance from the larger Awareness which dwells within all things. Dear Awareness of All and all who walk by me in health and vitality, Thank you for your perfect guidance as I navigate my daily health choices. I know you are constantly present and helping me to select everything with ease that imbues healing and wholeness.

Miracles-a-go-go

The world truely is a mircaulous place. I think back to last week and the emotional upheaval I was in and realize it was that very challenge which led me to go seek resources for myself at East-West Bookstore, which is where I found "The 15 Minute Miracle Revealed", out of which fell into my lap while reading it - the flier for this weekend's workshop which I am now at! I would not be surrounded by this group of joyful revolutionaries if it wasn't for that challenge! Life truely works in mysterious ways. I am so grateful for the hidden gifts in everything.

Today's workshop practices were even more fun than yesterday and worked with restructuring our beliefs through conscious languaging practices. We went through an entire workbook of insightful exercises and were able to learn a lot from witnessing eachother restate our truths in more empowering ways. Any skepticism I felt yesterday about my ability to truely shift my reality evaporated today when I felt real shifts take place, and rapidly. Jacqueln walks her talk and holds a true storehouse of knowledge and inspiration. This woman is truely guided by a higher force in sharing her work and I feel so blessed to be here. Thank God I came! I realize I never would have gotten to work with this material as deeply alone as I am able in a group setting. It was also really sweet that Jacqueln invited me to lead hooping breaks each day to get people on their feet and into their bodies ... that has generated some abundance which is paying for my even being here. I love it when things work out perfectly. It's just the story of my life! I also really appreciate meeting the inspiring women here as well, especially at a time when I feel ready to seek out spiritually likeminded friends to share inspiration and beautiful soulful connections. Thank you thank you thank you! I love my life. Off to meditate and then sleep like a baby.

Thank you Universe for Everything!

4_inch_2007_Revealed_Book.jpg
This morning I awoke from a wonderful dream. I was at a dance class with someone who I have been trouble communicating with lately and we embraced and told eachother how much we really loved eachother. It felt wonderful.

It's only 6:24 and I am buzzing with excitement for the day. I awoke at 5:30 actually and finally gave up on sleeping any more (after 9 hours of rest) and started off with an empowering meditation. So nice. Here is my 15 minute miracle practice for the day. I am so grateful for everything in my lfie!

Today, Sunday August 12, is a clean slate for me to experience connection, joy and wholeness at a level I have never before experienced. I am so glad I can choose my thoughts and thereby choose how I create my reality.

Starting today, my ongoing intention is to choose to find ways to maintain a positive outlook despite outside circumstances so that I can srround myself with a high vibration of joy which makes everything in life sweeter.

I appreciate the oceans of blessings my life! I love that so many visionaries have listened to their own callings and followed through on creative works which now nourish my lifestyle, mind and body! Thank you for dental floss! What a brilliant blessing this technology is, and I am grateful for the scientist who created it. Thank you for the scientist who created plastic water bottles because it enables me to carry around water with me wherever I go with ease (and thank you to all the scientists who discovered recycling and who are discovering new ecologically sustainable alternatives to plastic!). Thank you to the scientists who created Blackberry phones, I enjoy using my phone so much! Thank you to the development team for the i-Pod! I love how easily I can bring my entire music and audio library with me anywhere I go in such a compact form. Thank you to all the authors of the inspiring books which I am reading which lift my spirits and refresh my outlook. Thank you to Jacquelyn Aldana who is providng such a wonderful weekend of awareness and uplifting joy to me! Thank you to the East-West Bookstore, which has provided so many wonderful resources to me. Thank you to Michael Beckwith for listening to his inner calling and creating Agape which gives me so much energetic renewal. Thank you to the creator of MacBooks, upon which I have the luxury of writing into my blog anywhere I travel in the world with ease... and than you to the creator of wi-fi, which allows me to sit with this computer on my lap instead of plugged into a wall. I appreciate all the creativity and courage that lies at the core of every single material thing which surrounds me, which just began as an inspiration, then a vision, became an idea, a project and then reality. Thank you for the force of inspiration because it has the power to sweep the body over with a feeling of "yes"! I am grateful for my own presence on the planet and my parents for meeting and giving me the gift of experiencing this wonderful aliveness. Yahoo!

I love to feel thankful. When I feel this way, I am aware of all the beauty and joy which surrounds me, which makes it easier for me to focus on and create more positivity and goodness in my life.

I now have more than enough time to do all the things I love, like hooping every day, meditating, exercising at the gym, taking long walks in nature, meeting with inspiring friends, attending empowering workshops, prepare wonderfully nourishing raw food, deepen my loving connection with my husband, write what I love to write, dance like there's no tomarrow, generate multiple streams of residual income with ease, and lots of time to do absolutely nothing but relax.

My husband and I frequently take long vacations on warm, sunny tropical islands where we rejeuvinate and refresh our bodies, creativity, love and connection.

I have a wonderful community of spritually like-minded girlfriends with whom I meet weekly to share happiness and tools for positive transformation.

I enjoy travelling to meet and co-create with inspiring luminaries and visionary leaders around the world who share the same values of positivity, health and wellbeing. Working together with these role models allows me to activate positivity and wellness on a global level which feels delightful!

The perfect people with enthusiasm and expertise have helped restructure my company so it is more efficient, profitable and fun. I am connected to the joyful vibration which initially inspired me to hoop and I love sharing authentic positivity with gratitude! I love it when things like this happen. More of this please!

I now invite assistance from the Loving Power that dwells within me and All Life Everywhere. Dear Life Force and all who walk with me in Love and Light. Thank you for your perfect guidance, unconditional love and ongoing support.

On Being Percieved as "Intimidating" and My Miracle Musings for Tuesday

Over the last several days I have had so many rich experiences. The last day of the Mircale Making Playshop on sunday with Jacquelyn was beyond anything I could have expected. We worked together in small pods having conversations with amazing people from all walks of life who all shared a common intention -- to become happy, brighter and more connected. It is amazing how gathering people with likeminded intentions magnifies the depth of an experience and it truely felt as if I was walking on air. The breakthroughs in our belief systems were happening so frequently that I frequently felt "full", and when the event ended I felt as if I had truely experienced a real opening from within that is delicious. Coming back to "reality" was bumpy, with all kinds of things unfolding on Monday which shook my cocoon of enthusiasm and challenged me to breathe and remember the glimmer of realizations which I had over the weekend.

One realization I had over the last week based on communication of various forms, and into yesterday, was some people choose to find me "intimidating". At first I felt an honest surprise, and then sadness and then love. Hearing something like this is always a surprise for me because I know all my own thoughts, which I am constantly trying to enlighten to be less self-critical and more focused on the positive. I also know how many unknowns have historically riddled my past where I have faced challenges, frequently failed, but just kept on trekking until I had a sincere breakthrough. I just feel so darned *human*, full of all the same emotions and challenges (opportunities) as everyone.

I sincerely invite anyone with the same value of bringing more happiness into the world, who feels like striking up a friendship with me, to just reach out and say so! Call me up! Email me! I'd love to go for walks and talk, or yoga classes, or dancing or hooping, or to inspiring workshops ... or? I also welcome those who feel they have something they want to communicate with me about how I can be less "intimidating" to just come right out and tell me so (as long as it doesn't involve squishing my shine! I've officially given up trying to dampen my happiness to fit in among unhappy people). I'm open to hearing how I can grow.

As the days and years I go by I realize more and more what really matters -- love, friends, family, and happiness. I am at a point right now where I feel so open and receptive to new ideas, friends and connections. I guess what I am trying to says is, we always have a choice -- we can choose to be intimidated and create a sense of separation from someone, or we can choose inspiration, take a deep breath, and just create a connection. I welcome connections! And I am sending lots of love to anyone choosing the "intimidation" belief right now ... I look forward to knowing you better if you want.

Phew! I feel so glad to have expressed that. On to my miracle manifestation practice from www.the15minutemiracle.com...

Today, Tuesday August 24, 2007, is a clean slate for me to enjoy. As long as I can CHOOSE my thoghts, I can CHOOSE what I attract and create in my life. Starting today, it is my ongoing intention to find easy and exhilerating ways to awareness into my life.

I appreciate all my friends because they share their lives with me in ways which deeepen my understanding of the world. I appreciate my mom because she is so open, loving and honest. I love Cafe Gratitude because it provides an oasis of nutritional positivity for me anytime I need raw food and a smile. I appreciate hooping because it helps my body and mind feel good! I am so grateful for the Allstars who are back, better and stronger than ever because they provide positive role models for me in so many ways. I am thankful for my wonderful home which houses my life in a beautiful way because it keeps us dry, safe, warm and protected in an elegant fashion. I appreciate my own ability to speak clearly and more sincerely because it allows me to embrace my truth in a powerful way. I love my plants who surround my meditation area, as always, because their vibrant green sustains my soul. I love the amazing women I work with because they teach me how to be more organized, efficient and goal-oriented. Thank you!

I love it when I feel focused which makes it easier for me to move with purpose and in connection with a higher will.

I now live the life of my dreams! I am now able to accomplish more with efficiency, ease and fun.

I am surrounded by a superstar team of experts who help me grow in every aspect of my life so I can focus more on what really matters.

I am working with individuals who have devoted themselves to planetary work of peace and wellness to bring more positivity to millions.

I am supported by incredibly insightful, genius advisors who enable me to embrace the best and highest in myself in my marriage, business, play and spiritual growth.

I am focused and aware in every moment and seek the positive in every situation.

I am constantly looking for things to admire in people and focus on their gifts.

As I write this I feel more expansive. I feel more open and relaxed and clear about a bigger vision which feels like it matters.

I now invite assistance from the Loving Power that dwells within me and All Life Everywhere. Dear Source of All and all who walk with me in Love and Light. Thank you for your perfect guidance, unconditional love, and ongoing support. If it is in the highest good for me and All Life Everywhere, please divinely orchestrate the following in just the perfect time.

Help me to transform anything negative into the positive more easily and with more fun.
Help me open my mind to new ideas with ease and joy.
Show me the best way to respond instead of react.
Give me the strength to maintain my meditation practice so I can continue to make the path easier.
Help me focus on the good and miraculous in everybody and everything so I may attract more goodness into my life.

I completely trust you, Source of All, to take care of the details, and I know that everything is already naturally falling into place.

Thank you!

Singing the Song I Came In to Sing

Started the day of with a bubble bath, candles, essential oils and flower essences in a lovely bath! It felt so warm and nurturing. I highly recommend it. It washed away a lot. These morning meditation and writing practices have felt like the best gift I have given to myself in a l-o-n-g time. I almost feel as if I have been completely re-wiring myself.

I am grateful for my new friend Bridget for rekindling an interest in the angelic realm because that awareness is lifting my spirits and putting a smile on my face. Thank you for my wonderful genius enginner, Joel, who is helping me make my dreams a reality because I love feeling the power of faith which he has given me. I am so grateful for the first beams of sunlight shining into this room through the fog! I love the warmth and brightness of the sun because it makes me feel happy. Yes to the sun!

I love it when I feel radiant. When I feel this way, I am full of peace, wellbeing and vitality, which makes it easier for me to move from my heart. I love feeling radiant because it makes me feel as if my whole body is shining with beautifully colored light and good energy.

I now have all the resources I need to manifest and share my dreams with the world in a way which is empowering, joyful and wonderfully successful.

This year, I am specifically going to Burning Man to connect with likeminded friends who share the same passions and values, to reach an equisite level of blissful hoop communion, to experience One-ness in dancing and to experience spiritual insights and connection.

I am so blessed to be living in San Francisco because it exposes me to so many inspiring artists and teaches me so much through contrast. I am glad that my mom Athena has stepped into my life so deeply because she is reminding me of the importance of family. I am thankful for all my wonderful friends and all the wonderful new friends coming into my life because they teach me how to soften my heart and be playful. Thank you for my food dehyratoer! It is such a spectacular machine. I am also so glad to have a vitamixer since it allows me to easily blend healthy delicious beverages.

Hooping in the Raw for Thursday!

images-5.jpgThis morning's raw smoothie delight:

Morning Cha Cha!
1 head kale (leaves only)
1 cup water
2 plump ripe figs
1 container of raspberries
1 teaspoon of agave nectar
1/2 a bunch of fresh spearamint leaves

*blend and enjoy! Yum yum! I think adding that extra bit of sweetness really balanced out the kale nicely.

Finally, go to my morning hoop practice today as well! I got all dressed up into some booty shorts and a small top to really get into the mood for Burning Man. It really makes such a huge difference for me to dress up for myself while hooping, such a delight! It brings out a whole other playful energy.

I played with all kinds of shapes while swining the hoop in my hands, lots of left handed moves, Spunk reversals in the inflow and outflow, some with my hand and some with my leg! That was fun. Forward jump throughs, all kinds of body breaks with leg lifts, air massage, slow motion balancing and twirls, a few isolations and step throughs with kicks. The hour flew by SO fast and my whole body loved it. I really felt my whole body warm and very happy with all the movements. The mirror propped against the door also helped with my alignment, especially opening my chest and torso.

While I hooped, I did take a moment to check myself out in the mirror and it was so great. I totally love my body. I don't know if it is all these miracle practices which are just opening my mind, or if my body has indeed changed, but I honestly really like my shape! This has been an ongoing thing for me... specifically my thighs and abs. It isn't that I didn't like myself, as much as I had this emotional baggage tied up with those areas that I guess didn't let me see myself clearly. As I clear out the old programing, it has been really nice to just feel so much self-acceptance and love. Life is sweet!

Saying YES to Life!

23306002.jpg What a gorgeous day! Blue skies! I'll bet the sun will come out and shine brightly today as well. I just did my morning meditation... I've been working on the "Millennium Journeys" Volumber 1, called "Increasing Your Inner Light" this week (guided visualizations from www.orindaben.com). It is amazing how taking the time to sit among my plants and just breathe and contemplate is bringing so much serenity to my life. I really feel like I would one day like to do every single guided mediataion by Orin... I've used them over the years at various moments and always find them so authentic and awakening!

Thank you for the gift of having a beautiful loving husband who is also a dj because his passion for music feeds my passion for dance! I appreciate that Kramer and I share a love for Burning Man and the ability to let eachother have fun in ways which are of our own choosing. I love all my fun costumes for Burning Man because they provide a comfortable way to feel festive.

I love it! Also, and angelic performance with a brand new flow toy I have never seen before. The dancer was dressed in elegant whites, doing ballet to house music while gripping these arcing wires with leds illuminating the ends... the end result was that it looked like there were fairy lights or lightening bugs responding to all her movements, all around her like angelic lights, absoluetly gorgeous.

Angels, Wonderessence and (yes, again) More Miracle Work

c9bfa298-f627-4650-bcd3-5de4e71b353a.medium.jpg My whole body is buzzing from the meditation I just completed, in which I was visualizing anchoring light into every cell of my body. Sometimes my inner skeptic rears up and wonders, "is this nuts?" or my mind wanders onto mundane topics for a moment, but I just patiently call myself back to breathing and imagining solar light. It feels pretty darned yummy to imagine solar light since San Francisco can be rather overcast and chilly at times.

All I know is when I do these meditations, my days flow easier, I feel more connected, relaxed and happy. So I have surrendered every morning for the past several weeks. I go straight to the meditation cushion once i wake up, do several minutes of breathing meditation, imagine my body being filled and cleansed with light, and then I do a guided Orin meditation from orindaben.com, then my 15 minute miracle practice. All in all, it takes about an hour and fifteen minutes to do all this internal energetic prepping for the day. Which has definately cut into my hooping time, but again, I feel it is important for me right now.

I keep the details of my meditations generally to myself... my husband would loose himself in giggles if I told him about the angels I have been calling into my life or the energy I am visualizing growing brighter in my body. Sometimes I feel the urge to share this energy adventure on my blog because it imparts such a beautiful wonderessence into my body, a light feeling of awe and brightness. It is a feeling of relief from being human, having human emotional reactions and concerns. It is a feeling of Divine Will, bringing a purpose into my life which is of my higher self, egoless and connected to all things. But lately I have been feeling this compulsion to share all. So again, I am surrendering.

I have been particularly fascinated with angels lately. Not the gothic, stoic, Catholic kind in long white robes sitting on churches and in stained glass, though I do respect people's belief in those images. I've been contemplating angels as beings of bright shining light devoted to uplifting humanity to the next level. And angels as people living in my life doing miraculous things to bring more grace into the world. Accessible angels... disco angels, flossing reminder angels, laughing angels, and angels of general protection. Generally just flocks of super hot, sexy angels. Granted, I am leting my mind roam free with it's own images. I haven't had a "visitation" or a shaft of light beam into my room at night and wake me from sleep (unless my husband was just coming into the room late). I don't hear voices. I live a sort of ordinary life of daily tasks to accomplish. But there has been a shift of awareness. Welcoming a larger perception of reality, and a realization that I can consciously invite the miraculous into my life. And I can let it be fun, playful and sweet. It is nice. So there's my mad confession. I'm starting to believe in angels.

I used to live with a bright shiney friend named Dawn. She was SO into angels and while I loved her and everything about her energy, the angel interest was just totally inaccessible. But recently, my interest was piqued at the 15 Minute Miracle gathering I attended several weeks back where I met a woman named Bridget who does Angel Therapy. I instantly gravitated towards her, not knowing why, but fascinated by her "inner sparkle". As she shared more of her work, I realized I was really wanting to connect with the idea, but lacked any physical, mental, emotional or spiritual "evidence" to believe. Funny enough, when I was in town later that night, I can across a a small angelic stature that had a message underneath, "Angels believe in YOU". It was an interesting shift. I was thinking, "whoa! Apparently even if I don't believe in these beings, they have chosen to believe in me! Wow!". So I got the little statue and it has been reminding me to try believing in the unseen.

After all, so much of what we rely on in our daily lives is unseen! We take so much on faith. Though invisible, these foroces dramatically effect my life! (In the playshop, we talked about this too)

Check it: gravity, temperature, oxygen, love, faith, joy, gratitude, radiation, magnetism, meridians, goals, inflation, the stock market, money, ancestry, kindness, time, beliefs, sensations, sound, thoughts! All these things greatly impact human life even though we can't see them. They are ideas....

So I'm on this nexus between thought and reality, hypersensitive to the power to truely attract into my life what I think about and experiementing with this idea that I can attract some angels into my life by giving it more thought, more of my awareness... an open invitation. We shall see what unfolds...

Ramble, ramble. Onto the meditation so I can get my hoop on at least for little while.

Today, Wednesday August 23, 2007, is a clean slate for me to enjoy. As long as I can CHOOSE my thoughts, I can CHOOSE what I attract into my life. Starting today, my ongoing intention is to find authentic and wonderful ways to connect with my higher self and divine purpose.

I am so grateful for the bright blue sky and shining sunlight today because it is a lovely treat. I am delighted about Burning Man and all the spectacular friends I will see because they bring so much inspiration into my life. I am grateful for my fantastic body because it works so well and is so healthy and ncie to look at. I enjoy all the abundance which has come into my life in wonderful friends, exciting opportunities and unexpected positive events because being alive is a great gft. I am grateful for emotions because they teach me so much about being alive.

I love it when I feel wonder. When I feel this way, I feel my entire body relax, I lighten up and feel open and receptive.

I now feel joyful clarity about my divine purpose in this lifetime and how to live in a way which brings more grace, miracles and love into the world.

I lead a happy, easygoing life where I can clearly understand my intuitive inner-knowing and act in ways which are in my highest good.

I have a sexy, romantic relationship with my husband based on play, love and laughter which feels fantastic!

Money is flying at me from all directions in larger and larger amounts!

I have consciously designed a lifestyle and business which easily provides for all my needs and desires while also bringing more brightness and positivity into the world.

I spend my time relaxing, travelling to wonderful exotic places, playing, dancing, hooping and having fun while the money just keeps rolling in!

We have a wonderful home on the Hawaiian islands which provides a sanctuary for my heart and soul, allowing me to live a relaxed tropical lifestyle while I continue to do effortless collaborative work with inspiring geniuses.

I now feel a deep knowing that I am in the perfect place at the perfect time. I feel happy and hopeful.

I now invite assistance from the Loving Power that dwells within me and All of Life Everywhere. Dear Spirit and ALL who walk with me in Love and Light. Thank you for your perfect guidance, unconditional love and ongoing support! With enormous gratitude i now agree to RECIEVE these and even greater gifts in the perfect time in delightful ways that bless and benefit All of Life Everywhere.

Thank you!

Holding Light

birdseye.JPG.jpg How can I hold onto it? At moments it feels so easy... I'll be meditating and feel clear and relaxed... then I hear the pots and pans clanking in the background, trash being taken out, crunching and crinkling of plastic bags and paper as my guy walks around the kitchen ...and I feel this surge of irritation well up and totally forget where my visualization had been going. I raise the volume on my ipod but realize now the magic spell I made has been broken.

I've been dealing with some challenging emotions lately. Most notably, how can I stay centered enough to respond instead of react? How can I be so clear that I can withstand being around those with depression and anger and stay positive? I feel like I am in a bit of a spiritual crisis at the moment because realize I have gotten into the habit of emotionally withdrawing. When someone emotionally close to me is walking around with a dark cloud, in some ways I f-e-e-l that cloud around myself... like a yucky sticky icky I can't get off. It feels very unpleasant to be around. I feel trapped because I think I should be compassionate and present, but really I just want to run away and live in my own bubble of joy. Especially when the person with the yucky sticky icky has no interest in letting go of their heavy energy. I just want to be miles away.

I realize I've gotten into the habit of completely unplugging and becoming distant and emotionally removed as a way not to feel the dark sticky icky. I just sort of float around doing tasks, a bit out of my own body, so I don't feel it. But now that it has become a habit I realize it is dysfunctional and creating it's own dark sticky icky around *my* heart. So that brings me to today's topic to work on in my 15 minute miracle... how can I hold onto the light? As always, I welcome any insights or ideas from those who have walked this path before me!

Today, Thursday August 23, 2007, is a clean slate for me to enjoy. As long as I can CHOOSE my thoughts, I can CHOOSE what I attract and create in my life. Starting today, my ongoing intention is to find wise and loving ways to stay centered in light and joy so I can truthfully respond and be present at all times.

I am so grateful for our heater because it keeps me warm and toasty when it is cold out! I am grateful for all our plants which surround me because I love looking at their bright green colors. I love the wonderful clothes I am lucky to have because they are colorful and fun to wear. I am appreciative of the wonderful friends in my life who offer me so many insights and so much love. I love the abundance which comes to me easily all the time. I am thankful for all the wonderful foods I can obtain to eat because they provide me with nutrition and yummy tastes. I am thankful for all the wonderful people in my life who help manifest the HoopGirl vision with their wonderful talents and generosity of spirit. I am thankful for all my wise and enthusiastic mentors who's insights allow me to find my own way with ease. Thank you!

I love it when I feel exhilerated because everything feels fascinating and fun, which makes it easier for me to open my heart and live my passion.

I use my breathe to stay cenetred in my bliss and joy.

With grace and love, I am able to easily remove myself all situations which are not in my highest good.

I am always protected and safe, surrounded by flocks of angels who surround and
