Good Morning!
I choose to thank those who responded yesterday in email and phone call, to my openness to suggestions regarding dealing with anger. A most unique response came from my beloved chiropractor and meditation-posture specialist, Phil:
"I find that taking deep breaths (not extremely exaggerated; just deeper than normal) into my belly will help move the energy. This also gets me more into my body (and more out of my head)....Sometimes I’ll lie in bed breathing deeply for thirty or forty minutes before peace once again fills me. When time doesn't allow, I’ll do this deeper breathing into my belly as I am doing my daily tasks. At some point, the energy in me mellows. Breathing/pranayama helps move the energy so much.Taking a shower can wash off some of the energy. You already use affirmations, chanting, meditation, and bat-pillow work.
As you wrote, you know it’s a set up. That should help you relax some. And, as Master says, do your part and leave the rest to God."
I woke up today well before the alarm and drew a soothing bath. As I lay there repeating "I and my ONE are One" a smile spread over my face. The depth of that simple and thoroughly TRUE affirmation can dispel any dark thought! Carrying around that statement in one's mental "pocket" is like having a small dispenser of PEACE at one's constant disposal!
I then slowly, thoughtfully repeated the poem "Samadhi" with complete absorption in the meaning of each phrase. WOW! It is as if "I and my ONE are One" is FULLY fleshed-out, in each sublime detail of what that short phrase contains/implies.
How had I forgotten the directives in "Light of Smiles" which I repeated next? Concentrating on the actions stated in each line, there is no way one can carry any negative.
Finally, I dwelt on the power and beauty of The Affirmation for General Healing. As my physical bath was complete, so was my mental bath! Body and mind had soaked in the warmth, the nurturing, the purification of the best Nature and Divine Man has to offer.
How had I forgotten my own mighty little mental arsenal ever at the ready to dispel any anger, darkness, mood? NO DUH!
I am off to the Temple three hour meditation and morning of Service there. This will solidify the reconstructive work so sweetly begun!
Loving you always, k
