Good Morning!
I woke up in the Current and thought that was a great way to begin this holy day. I took the I and my ONE are ONE affirmation into the Current as well. We then did our 6 hour meditation with some great chants to Krishna with our little Core IV Kirtan group. We will re-convene at 6PM for the Birthday service in Escondido. For me, the most profound feature of today's meditation was the experience of FEELING God answering my prayers. This solid knowingness enveloped me and made me feel strong and supported.
I intend to keep Krishna close throughout this day. Calmness, love, JOY are the watchwords I choose to inform each of my activities. I will soon leave for hatha yoga...I have not missed a day since I began a week from last Saturday. I really can perceive the positive effect it has on my energy, especially when sitting for meditation. It also seems to get the "rust" out of my pores and the self-discipline required in the demanding classes spills over into other aspects of my life requiring such discipline. "Hot" yoga seems to be purifying me in so many ways!
I have made several wise choices since returning from the Divine week of SRF Convocation and these have enriched my life with peace and joy. We have attended temple activities most nights. On Friday AND Saturday nights we watched Brother Anandamoy's past Convocation talks on Kriya and the Bhagavad Gita. You can imagine the positive and transforming effect they have in comparison to watching something at the local cinemaplex, haha.
Yesterday we went to early morning meditation, meditated right through until Sunday Service, which was spectacular, and then I came home and went over to yoga and a extremely demanding work-out. I was just dripping with JOY! I found myself laughing right out loud in class.
I went to visit Master's Hermitage and Gardens in the afternoon and returned to the Temple for the Gita meditation and class. We retired early as we were up by 3AM for the long med.
Each of these spiritual choices built upon one another to create a life experience sparkling with Joy and Love! Is it not amusing that we must use "discipline" to do such, when our worldly/sensory choices lead eventually into misery and disconnect? Such is the power of HABIT!
I notice it is becoming easier and easier to do "the right thing" as my soul-supporting habits get stronger. I am now eager to maintain a sense of even-minded calm throughout my day. Perhaps I am getting lucky...and am reaching a Tipping Point! One of these days the bad habits will finally lose their juice, and I can sail easily, smoothly, steadily toward the shores of Divine Fulfillment. I choose you to accompany me!
Loving you always, k
