Awakening Your Star Body with Music

April 25, 2007

Beautiful music has the power to awaken the light of your soul if you receive it deep within your heart and allow yourself to merge with it. Music is the language of the heavenly spheres and contains within it the keys to awakening consciousness. Music is like sweet healing elixir and can heal you on all levels. Make some time this week to indulge yourself in the music that calls out your truest identity and highest vibration. You will know when you've found it. Keep listening and feeling and letting the joy and creative power within you awaken.

"We are Stardust, We are Golden"

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves

Back to the garden

Woodstock ~ Joni Mitchell

"We are Stardust, We are Golden"

April 19, 2007

Woodstock by Joni Mitchell

I came upon a child of god
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, where are you going
And this he told me
Im going on down to yasgurs farm
Im going to join in a rock n roll band
Im going to camp out on the land
Im going to try an get my soul free
We are stardust
We are golden
And weve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Then can I walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning
Well maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe its the time of man
I dont know who l am
But you know life is for learning
We are stardust
We are golden
And weve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

By the time we got to woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation
We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devils bargain
And weve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

God's Address

April 18, 2007

Recently I went to visit my teacher. As I sat with him, he asked me as he always does, how he could be of service to me. I decided to ask him formally on this visit if I could call him my teacher. He answered me by saying, "I am honored to be your teacher, just as my teacher was honored to serve me."  And then he went on to say in his own words that having a teacher is like having God's address. It can save you a lot of time.  He told me that a real teacher will show you the way to your own Inner Teacher. 

A true teacher is someone who has already been where you want to go and who can show you with love and compassion the steps to take towards discovering the wisdom that exists within your own Being.

When the teacher appears, the student's path becomes focused and clear.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. And God's address will be revealed.

In love & celebration,

Word Yoga™

“The highest, most effective energy on this planet is the word. There is nothing beyond it, there shall be nothing beyond it, and there was nothing beyond it; therefore, we must consciously understand the power of the word. When we understand the power of the word and we apply the whole mind behind the word, then we create the word which can create the whole world for us.” ~Yogi Bhajan

American Museum of Natural History: "Cosmic Collision"

April 6, 2007,  "We are Stardust"

This past week I had the opportunity to view the planetarium and the Cosmic Collision exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. My two year old son, Jacob, was taking a walk through the Butterfly exhibit with his grandmother and aunt. I was unable to go with because there were only two tickets left for the Butterfly showing. This left me with a little time on my hands to explore a museum I hadn't been through in quite a long while.

This was positively one of the most breathtaking spiritual experiences I have had. If you ever find yourself feeling uninspired or without awe of your existence, just take a trip to your local planetarium to refresh your memory about the grandeur of it all. "We are Stardust" was one of the exhibits. Every bit of our body and physical world is of the stars. We come from the helium and hydrogen atoms of an exploding sun. These are my words trying to rephrase what I read. But you get the picture. Not only that, but we are part of something much bigger and how easy it is to forget that. Just do it. Look up at the stars. Study them and get to know our bigger neighborhood. Allow yourself to dream about reality and life and be inspired by the Light of our Sun, the giver of life on our planet.

I plan to go back for another visit soon. Here is a link to the museum: www.amnh.org

A beautiful mantra that says it all:

I am a star.

A star is a heavenly body, radiating light.

I am a heavenly body, radiating light.

I am a star.
