Amazing skype session today with Ash Ruiz, a few take aways.. -When you look at others see them as your very own Self, even speak to them with your own name.. if you see them as struggling (with anything, pain, depression, confusion, illness) say out loud, oh JoAnne, what courage you are building, what strength you have, what creativity in your exploration of this! Acknowledge the infinite expression of wisdom that is emerging, the brilliance of clarity that underlies all experience, the all inclusive knowing that is being reveled. - Make a list of all your complaints, all the bad stuff that is happening, all the things that you wish were different and say to yourself, Im so grateful that this situation did not work out so that I could experience this and come up with the gift of this so called bad thing. Im so grateful this relationship end so that I could experience this, Im loving that this business deal failed so that I could learn this, Im loving that my body, mind, life broke down in this way so that I could open up to this _________. Turn everything around and practice seeing and acknowledging the gift it allowed for. - Examine every belief (byron katie style) and ask yourself.. I need this person to show up in this way, acknowledge me, love me, support me, be nice, etc.. in order for me to be at peace.. is that really true? How do I behave, feel, react when I believe that thought? How do I treat them and myself when I believe that? Who would I be, how might I react and behave if I did not have that thought that they need to do _____ in order for me to be peaceful and at ease? - As I notice all that arises, thoughts, feelings, sensations and experiences, I see that they arise, flower and end. Everything that arises, comes to pass and passes on by.. AND there is something, a clear present awareness that always is.. its like gravity, always on, this open intelligence, wide like sky reality.. as I acknowledge and am present to this.. more and more, I feel in awe of every expression, the infinite creative expression of consciousness itself.. I AM in AWE! Really grateful, for clarity, for truth, for the wisdom of my own heart, that I do know how to love myself, care for myself, live this open hearted reality and allow everything to be as it is.. AND be in conscious awareness of the beauty and perfection of everything without the need to label things as good, bad or neutral.. such liberation.. If you want to know yourself as freedom itself, you cant hold on to anything so simply release your clinched fist, let go, open and relax and let your true nature reveal itself in everything as it is. Ash is available for skype sessions, I recommend him highly. give yourself a great gift and reach out to him! xoxo
