Great series! I wanted to mention that the Law of Attraction worked pretty powerfully for me when I ended up with Liz Strauss as a consultant. She told me about you and I've been enjoying your insights, music and sense of humor. I live in Sedona, Arizona for most of the year but in the summer come to Brevard, NC, right near you. I really love both of these places for the beauty and soul space they provide. Hi Christine. Great series!

And the "farting in the wind". I never fail to get a full belly chuckle with your humor and real-ness. It is like trying to turn around a big boat...you can't turn on a dime like you do in a whitewater kayak, you need to point it in a new direction (the idea that "I am now going to start implementing this new way of thinking and being") and then slowly over time it'll start to turn. The meditation is the best analogy. It is a process, it'll go up and down and it is all about accepting and returning your focus to your breath. Love the math! And the “farting in the wind”.

I keep getting guidance from some place greater then me, that my inner work will pay off soon. I have come to understand that soon, for beings that live for eternity, is longer than what us who feel time limited would think. Soon, the plants will come to the surface, soon they will bath in the sun, soon they will take shape and flower, soon they will fill my nose with a banquet of joyous noise, soon they will be ready to harvest, and soon they my swim in olive oil as a make a tasty treat for my love.

I just got done writing about, how we need to relearn a few lessons in patience on my blog where I am writing about Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. You speak words of truth!

It’s not about the endings anyway. It’s what you learn and who you become along the way." BINGO! Perhaps it is significant that I was listening to one of the Abraham workshops while driving home from work, yesterday. The particular passage in question talks bout how it is a process and WE NEVER GET IT DONE (sorry to yell, but it is an AHA! kind of revelation). It is important to enjoy the journey, because joy and the journey are what life is about. If I were to discover tomorrow that Law of Attraction is hooey, I would not change the way I live, because I know that it brings me joy to live and feel and approach life with expectant wonder and joy.

Christi - I like that Deepak story. That's a good reminder. As for the money thing - I recommend making wealth an intent. And really start to clean up the thoughts that come up to teach you about what blocks wealth! It can be an amazing journey! Thanks everyone!

It's a lovely metaphor. Sometimes when I work a gig - a party - I escape the chaos, blaring DJ, etc., and step outside into the night for a break. I soak in the peaceful quiet, the sound of crickets, the silence... Then I do this weird thing - I 'remember' it. I keep it stored inside myself. I remember that the silence is what lies underneath the noisy surface at all times. Then I walk back into the party (the chaos) and bring that peace with me, and no matter what happens - if someone spills a drink near me, or a balloon pops, or whatever, I access that inner silence and I feel calm. Pretty cool. Hey Christine – Thanks for the reminder about the cloth and dye / meditation. It’s a lovely metaphor.

I've found that I desire more than a weekend in silent retreat each year...I don't "need" more, I want more. I want to linger in the great silence that gets down to the cellular level...this is not escapism as some might think...it's transforming the interior world, where true vision becomes quite clear. The peace that results is attractive to others, I've seen it happen so often. They too need a balm for their chaos, but they'll never find it "in" me per se, for the journey is their own...meditation is a life practice, ultimately selfless, not selfish. We'll never get it wrapped up in thoughts of "me" and "mine" and "now". What a wonderful process! Steeping…yes, like a fine tea.
