Walk through the vestibule: Sounds and sights as benchmarks

You have, I'm sure, had the experience at one time in your life of forgetting what you were doing as soon as you entered another room. Do doorways actually serve as event boundaries or is one's ability to remember linked to the environment in which a decision was created?

True, research has shown that environmental factors affect memory and that information learned in one environment is retrieved better when the retrieval occurs in the same context. The act of passing through a doorway, however, serves as a way the mind files away memories.

Walk through the vesibule into your new home and feel yourself enter into a new world full of possibilities—new thoughts, sounds, visions. 

Your life is interpretted by a cacophony of sounds, sights and feelings, whether in the forefront or background of your days. From city streets to your own old house. As time passes, you get used to it all, and allow chaos to blend into your life. By tuning out that which takes over your senses of distraction, you keep the melodious qualities that bring music to your ears.

A fine ordinary moment, morning coffee

Dear fine moment... my first few sips of coffee,

You change my life. You hold a memory of all other days, alive with transitions from dreamy to present.

As the fog clears, starry-eyed, I begin to plan my day in a fine moment.

You witness me as my dreams come to mind, as I walk in the shadows of time becoming conscious.

And in the peace of my home before the storm, children sleeping, cats purring, sun rising, even though you don't last long, you help me realize...

That fine moments in life exist...

p.s. Red wine, you too have your moments.

The magic of my histories

I move. I feel. My blood carries my life.

I am still. I look inside the calm waters... and here I find the truth of who I am.

When overwhelming energies arise, can't I see that the water is only clear when I allow myself to move what reaches out, running evermore inside..?

Whether difficulty or pure joy, I can push it away as if to be scared when it is too overpowering...

When whatever it is has moved through me to its end though, with an 'ahhh' the sun comes out and shines on the tranquility, piercing it with clarity.

Letting go: It's an art to speak to your unconscious

The unconscious is where we are driven. In the same way that most of an iceberg is actually underwater, the largest part of our psyche is the unconscious—most is the "shadow."

The art of "letting go" is the way we drop our worries and pinpointed desires from our minds so that they no longer control us. It is sourced here in the unconscious. This includes:

• All that we try to let go
• All the activity in our minds that over-thinks
• All the agitation
• All that keeps us from reaching our dreams

Not so simple, if we are not able to express ourselves from the core of who we are because we feel uncomfortable doing so, it's because we are mentally blocked.

Nighttime dreams are one way to access the genius of our unconscious. Dream interpretation allows us to speak to the actors. Entering into a dialog with the dream characters is a step toward unleashing the unconscious material which then calmly settles in the conscious mind.

Having faith

Do you ever want to tell yourself to just STOP all this mind chatter?!  Sometimes it is even doubt that inches its way into the brilliance that has been created in your life.

All the while, you are a gift to this world. You will work out anything in your heart. Even if you don't know what will be now, perhaps a creative solution will arise. You don't know what the universe has in store. Yet, you must trust that it would not have brought you this beauty without positive intention to show you the way to manifest your dreams.

If you truly believe in your heart that you have found what you are looking for, have found that your dream has come true, then only come from that clear space. Come back to reside inside these words of your soul.
