GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki: The Rosary

Remember, you aren't aware of the Light, you ARE the Light.  :)  And today we do a meditation that is a waking, moment to moment practice, to incorporate this Truth.  Walk this day, as the flame that you are! Feel the inner body, the vibration of Love, and BE THAT. Don't be aware of THAT.  Identify as THAT.  As Osho says, you are the flame, and that body (and the world) is the aura around it.

The Diamond Light Body Meditation

Today's Quote:

"All spiritual practices are illusions created by illusionists to escape illusion." - Ram Dass

Today's Meditation:

“While waking, moving, eating, working, remember yourself as light, as if in your heart a flame is burning, and your body is nothing but the aura around the flame. Imagine it: in your heart a flame is burning, and your body is nothing but a light aura around the flame; your body is just a light around the flame. Allow it to go deep within your mind and your consciousness. Imbibe it. It will take time, but if you go on thinking about it, feeling it, imagining it, within a certain period you will be able to remember it the whole day. While awake, moving on the street, you are a flame moving. No one else will be aware of it in the beginning, but if you continue it, after three months others will also become aware. Only when others become aware can you then be at ease. Don’t say anything to anyone. Simply imagine a flame, and your body as just the aura around it—not a physical body, but an electric body, a light body. Go on doing it.”

Stop. 
Smile. 
Breathe, boo. 
Were you meditating on the world or on the Word, just now?
When you're feeling Love inside, hearing Silence inside, no matter what the body is up to, that's meditating on the Word.  That's meditating on Love. That's hearing (feeling) God's voice.  Our work is to make God's voice, this Love, louder than the world. 

Take a break from adulting for a minute, or 7 lol, and listen to these excerpts from Eva Bell Werber's 'Working With Me' in Journey with the Master.  

I love you and I'm with you,

Today's Quotes:

"Love is the fragrance of Meditation.  If you meditate deeply, sooner or later you will start feeling a tremendous Love arising in you that you have never known before-- a new quality to your being, a new door opening.  You have become a new flame and now you want to share."
- Osho

“The key is to be in a state of permanent connectedness with your inner body - to feel it at all times. This will rapidly deepen and transform your life. The more consciousness you direct into the inner body, the higher its vibrational frequency becomes.” - Eckhart Tolle

"Through the inner body you are ever one with God." - Eckhart Tolle

Excerpts from Gateway of the Inner Body- 

"Most are unaware of the inner aliveness in the body because their attention is trapped in the mind, in thinking."

"The field that is in the body, the very aliveness that is the body is a gateway to Awareness."

"Someone once said God is closer to you than hands and feet.  What could be closer to you than hands and feet?  They are pretty close. But inside your hands and feet is even closer.  The nearest that God is to you is in your body. Everyone has been asking where does God exists. God is the very life that you are. "

"Without looking at it or moving it, how do I know if my right hand is still there or not?"

Today's Practice:

Keep some attention within your feet as you move about today.  Notice the Love that's within your feet.  Notice the Love that IS your feet. Remember that to feel Love is to be Love.  

I love you,

Today's Quotes:

"When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited."
- Ramakrishna
 
"Man is born only as a seed, not a flower. Flowering has to be achieved.  One should not take it for granted." 
- Osho

"Just as you could keep seeds in your hands forever without their bearing fruit, because they have been kept out of their native element, the ground, so you can keep yourself in sin, disease, lack, limitation, warfare, or even death, just by keeping yourself out of your native element, the invisible substance."
- Joel Goldsmith, The Altitude of Prayer 

Today's Practice:

Plant yourself  in the meditative state.   Root yourself in God.  Bloom and flower in Love.  When you practice feeling Love in every moment, that's the planting, the rooting, and the flowering.  It's the being. And then the bees come :)  

I love you,

It's also a Go(o)d one to listen to if you have them Sunday night blues.  

"Let nothing disturb you
Let nothing frighten you
All things are passing away
God never changes
Patience obtains all things
Whoever has God lacks nothing
God alone suffices."
-St. Teresa of Avila  

"The Power of God is within me, 
the Grace of God surrounds me." 
- Ram Dass

Say St. Teresa's prayer to the Love that you are.  Feel Love inside while you recite the words. Hold the words in Love. Know you ARE this Love.  You lack nothing. You need nothing.  Once you feel Love, you have everything. It's already here.  The clearer, fuller picture is coming into view.  Trust this. There's nothing this Love cannot do. 

Repeat Ram Dass' mantra as often as you can remember. Breathe away fear.  All is well. God IS where you are.  God is who you are. 

I love you and I'm with you,

Today's Quote:

"Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not on thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy path." 
-Proverbs 3: 5-6

"There is nothing My Holiness cannot do.  Your Holiness reverses all the laws of the world.   It is beyond every restriction of time, space, distance and limits of any kind.  Through your Holiness the power of God is made manifest. Through your Holiness the power of God is made available.  And there is nothing the power of God cannot do.  We will apply the power of your Holiness to all problems, difficulties or suffering in any form that you happen to think of, in yourself or in someone else." 
- A Course In Miracles, Ch 38

Today's Practice (inspired by ACIM, Ch 38):

1. Bring up a pressing or otherwise bothersome issue.  

2. Feel into the following prompt, and replace the blank with your seeming issue.  

"In the situation involving _________ , there is nothing that My Love, this Love, cannot do."

3.  Allow the words to point you back to the Love, the Truth, inside.  Feel this Love.  This is the most important step.  THE ONLY STEP.  Trust in this Love with all of your heart.  You trust It by FEELING It.  You feel Love inside, and then trust that It will move you to say and do the right things.  You trust that It will take the form of the solution.  Your ability to feel It, is the miracle you've been waiting for.  Feel It and don't stop feeling It.   

4. Know that there is nothing that this Love cannot do. 

5. Rest. Abide. Smile. Love's got you.

First, I remember that it doesn't matter what the body is feeling or what the mind is thinking-- I Am Love and Love is unfolding where I Am.  Then, I wait to feel this Love.  And because I'm now feeling Love, I'm no longer matching the energy of the moment.  I'm not generating a false or fake joy, but turning back toward the inner Light, the subtle Joy, the Love that IS.  And I keep feeling the Light, holding this Love, through the situation, through the anxiety, through the worry... until it's seen that only the Light is real.  The eyes see the appearance but I'm no longer judging by the appearance.  I'm no longer fooled by it.  I'm seeing it... but I'm feeling Love at the same time.  And I know that Only Love is Here. 

As you move through your dark nights, it's important to remember that you aren't seeking God. You aren't seeking the Light.  You don't want Freedom or happiness or Love.   YOU ARE THAT.  You want them because of the false perception that you think you are separate from That, from God.  Freedom is the essence of who you are.  Relax, recognize, and stay feeling this Truth, inside.  And this Truth becomes your outer circumstances.

"He is a real man who does not let go his hold on the Self-state while he is attending to whatever problems come of their own accord and without desire."
- Ramana Maharshi, Padamalai pg. 250

"Self-knowledge, or knowledge of Truth is not had by resorting to teachers, scriptures, or good deeds.  It is attained only by means of enquiry inspired by those who have awareness of the inner Light.  One's inner Light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner Light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.  Whatever sorrows there may be that seem to be difficult to overcome are easily crossed over with the help of the boat of wisdom (the inner Light).  He who is devoid of this wisdom is bothered even by minor difficulties.  The effort and the energy that are directed by the people in worldly activities should first be directed in the gaining of this wisdom.  Wisdom or the inner Light is like the legendary precious stone which bestows on its owner whatever he wishes to have."
- The Yoga Vasistha

Today's Quote: 

"The mind should be kept in the heart as long as it has not reached the Highest End.  This is wisdom, and this is liberation.  Everything else is only words." 
-Maitri Upanishad 6.24

Today's Practice: 

Ride your inner elevator from the mind down into the Heart.  Ride it from noise to Silence. From chaos to Peace. From fear to Love.  It's noisy in the head, but quiet in the Heart. Stay (t)here in this Loving Silence. Don't ride the elevator back up. Stay (t)here. Stay Love.
