If Only!

I saw an ad for a game on Facebook and my first thought was…”if only it was this easy to take care of ourselves!”

Which brings me to what I want to explore today:

  • Why isn’t it easy?
  • What is the hardest part of self care?
  • Is there something really simple that would make it easier?
  • What if self care ACTUALLY IS easy, and we just THINK it’s hard?
  • Do I overthink it?
  • Maybe if instead of thinking about being considerate of me, I just did it?

I realize that it’s just a video game, but if I had a dollar for every time I wished I could just…  OH WAIT! I just watched it to the end… it’s all about choices, isn’t it?

 

Here it is in action. I really really wish it was this easy in real life!!

Note: If you saw this before, you’ll notice that I had to move the video because it covered up part of the text when I looked at it on my phone.

So now, I’m wondering…

  • How many times did I choose dynamite instead of matches when it came to making decisions for myself?
  • What about you? In your personal life do you choose the “cozy rocker” or the hard wooden chair?

And isn’t this what life is all about really? Making choices and then dealing with the consequences?

Joy – Shakti

Now that we have explored Shakti, I thought it might be nice to listen to some Shakti inspired music.

This is from the 1977 album “Shakti With John McLaughlin ‎– A Handful Of Beauty.” If you want to check it out, here’s a link to the full album on YouTube.

 

Less Than Perfect

While researching for this project, I came across the lyrics to the song, “Less Than Perfect.” These are my favorite parts. It feels good, I think, to know I am not alone in my failure to be perfect.

Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss knowing it’s all good
It didn’t slow me down
Mistaken
Always second guessing, Underestimated
Look, I’m still around…

You’re so mean
When you talk about yourself
You were wrong
Change the voices
In your head
Make them like you instead…

… we try try try
But we try too hard and it’s a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cause they’re everywhere
They don’t like my jeans, they don’t get my hair
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that?
Why do we do that?

Don’t you ever ever feel
Like you’re less,
Less then perfect…
Like you’re nothing…
You’re perfect to me!

And after a little more searching I found this video, It has the song and lyrics.  Enjoy!

Let The Sunshine In

This is the hard-hitting piece from the Hair Musical. Has been sung by thousands of people who protested the Vietnam War in front of the White House.

We starve, look at one another, short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Somewhere, inside something there is a rush of
Greatness, who knows what stands in front of
Our lives, I fashion my future on films in space

Silence tells me secretly
Everything
Everything

Manchester, England, England
Manchester, England, England
Across the Atlantic Sea

And I’m a genius, genius
I believe in God
And I believe that God believes in Claude
That’s me, that’s me, that’s me

We starve, look at one another, short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Singing our space songs on a spider web sitar
Life is around you and in you
Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie

Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in
The sunshine in

Here it is on video:

Waiting For The Sun

I really love it when I have an excuse to post some music by The Doors! And since we are waiting for our “Here Comes The Sun” project to begin, I thought this would be appropriate.


Here are the lyrics:

At first flash of Eden
We race down to the sea
Standing there on freedom’s shore

Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun

Can you feel it
Now that Spring has come
That it’s time to live in the scattered sun

Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun.
Waiting for the sun
Waiting,, waiting,, waiting,, waiting, waiting,, waiting,, waiting,, waiting

Waiting for you to come along
Waiting for you to hear my song
Waiting for you to come along
Waiting for you to tell me what went wrong

This is the strangest life I’ve ever known

Can you feel it
Now that Spring has come
That it’s time to live in the scattered sun.

Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun

Another Ganesh Mantra

Ganesha Mantra Text

Aum
Gajananam Bhootganadhisevitam
Kapitthya Jamboo Phalcharu Bhakshanam
Namami Vighneshwar Padpankajam
Aum

Translation

Elephant-faced, worshiped by the existing beings, of all living beings,
tasting the elephant apple (kaith) and jambolana (jamun),
the son of Uma, destroyer of grief,
I bow to the lotus feet of Ganesha who is Lord of all.

Here’s a cool video…

I found this cool video and accompanying mantra at the Sanatan Society, a website that is chock full of information about Mantras, Ayurveda, Yoga, Tantra, Hindu Gods and a lot more.

What’s In A Name?

Names are important when it comes to invoking a God, and I’ve seen a lot of variation from website to website on Ganesh. Sometimes it’s Ganesh, other times it’s Ganesha, and then sometimes it’s Ganapati. So I decided to look it up, and this is what I found:

The word Ganesha comes from the Sanskrit words “Gana eeshaha, Ganeshaha”. Ganesha is the right term and Ganesh is a short form used to name a first born boy in the family of Hindus. Hence we can use both.

There is no difference between Ganesh and Ganapati.

  • Gan + Ish = Ganesh : means Lord of People.
  • Gan + Pati = Ganapati : means Lord of People.

Ganesh, by the way, has 1008 names. Here is a super cool recitation with music, it’s by Suresh Wadkar from the Album, Shree Ganesh Sahasranamavali.

Ganesh Maha Mantra

This video is a humble offering at the feet of our Lord Ganesh.

Ganesh Maha Mantra:
Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha

Ganesha mantras are siddhi mantras. Each mantra contains certain specific powers of Lord Ganesha. When chanted with the proper pranayama (rhythmic breathing) and sincere devotion, they will yield good results. In general, Ganesha mantras will ward off all evil and bless the devotee with abundance, prudence and success. Evil spirits dare not enter the home or the mind of the devotee where Ganesha mantras are recited.

4 Step Success Formula Morning Routine

This is a video describing the best 4 step success formula morning routine for law of attraction that will raise your vibration. In the video is a discussion about how the law of attraction can positive impact your morning and I give you my exact morning routine and morning ritual. Most people block the law of attraction because they do not get their morning started right.

There are certain tricks to using law of attraction to easily manifest what you want, but in order to do so you have to create a successful morning routine or ritual. Most people struggle with law of attraction because they’ve never properly understood how to get the day started right. And most people struggle because they do not understand how to use it. So I share my biggest takeaways so you can apply it to your life easily.

In this video you’ll learn how to use the law of attraction, understand it better, and apply it to your life. The first step is to understand that you’re always using Law of Attraction. Most of us spend our whole lives doing it unconsciously. We use unconscious negative affirmations as a technique that holds us back from what we want in life. You have to become conscious of your affirmations and begin to use positive thinking techniques to feel what you want before you have it.

It’s a constant affirmation meditation to visualize success and feel it in your nervous system. This is how you use positive affirmations to reprogram your subconscious mind, how to visualize images, how to visualize what you want, and how to create what you want as a reality.
