Listen With Your Heart and Your Mind

PL teaching day 30 > Listen With Your Heart and Your Mind.  >When we are listening to someone, give them your fullest attention. Turning your body towards them, listen for the feeling behind their words so that you can truly understand what they are trying to tell you. >Listen With Your Heart and Your Mind.  

It starts out innocent enough, our partner/boss or friend says something to us while we are busy working on a project or intent on something else.  We heard part of what was said, think we understand,  grunt, or reply in agreement and continue with what we are doing.  We don’t stop what we are doing, and turn to listen to exactly what is being said, or why.( Remember that expression, listening with half a mind).   At that moment, we really have no idea what we agreed to, or didn’t agree to.  So later when something is expected of us, or we say something that provokes a very negative response in our partner,boss or friend, we are taken aback.  We really haven’t a clue.  AND depending on what the situation is/was, it can cause hard feelings, missed appointments, disappointment.  When all it would have taken, was a few moments of consideration on our part, when addressed, to stop and listen with full attention, or to excuse one’s self and ask that the party wait a few moments, while you freed yourself from your current task.  Remember –  listen with an open heart and mind.

PL teaching for day 30 – Listen with Your Heart and Your Mind

PL daily prayers – By praying on a regular basis, we strengthen our bond with God/Universe.  Our true self will shine,  we are able to overcome difficulties and live each moment “mindfully”.  Coming to church and sharing in the teachings offered ensure that PL becomes part of your daily life.  Check the website for contact  information.

Just be Yourself

PL teaching for day 29 > Just be Yourself.  Relax and express yourself freely without hesitation.  This will allow you to live your life to the fullest.  Just be Yourself.

I have been trying for days now (weeks) to share with you a song that really resonates with me. I hum it, sing it to the best I can since the Portuguese words are not familiar to me, I love it.  Fingers crossed I think I have finally found a way to share it with you.

I am happiest being me. =^_^=    Blessings everyone!

Happy today to you all!

It is raining here, wonderful big drops of rain are falling with abundance, when the wind blows in the right direction, I get a staccato of wet sloppy drops on the window teasing me with their determination.  They are full of enthusiasm, they had to have read the PL teaching of the day- Act with Enthusiasm – =^_^=

Rain comes in many forms, gentle, pounding, steady, drizzle, light spray, when you are walking in the rain, as often happens if you have a dog(s) to walk, or if you are a jogger, you know that being in the rain is a totally all encompassing experience.  Your sense of smell, sight, and sound are there, and so is that feeling of being wet.  No, not like when you are in the shower, swimming or bathing.  It is a totally different  feeling.  A downpour if you get caught in one unprepared  can be drenching…..but once  you are soaked, lets face it, what is left to do but enjoy the moment.  If you think about it, life is pretty much like that.  When life throws a wrench into your day, take it in, absorb the reality of that moment, take a deep breath and move on.  That moment passed, you survived, gather your thoughts and move on.  There is nothing you can’t handle when you take life one moment at a time.

BJ Thomas had a hit many years ago called ‘Raindrops are falling on my head”   that song, has stayed with me for years.  Although he had many hits back in the 60’s and 70’s this is the song I remember him most for.  Enjoy!

Act With Enthusiasm

PL teaching day 28 > If you put your whole heart into whatever you do, you will be able to appreciate any task at hand.  Take initiative in tackling your work or tasks.  Act with Enthusiasm.

Vitality in nature – All nature is a song – have you ever spent time in a garden? Everywhere you look, there is some dynamic event in progress.  In our garden it is an ever changing vista.  Birds fly in and out, they bathe at the water feature, they search for tidbits of treats left behind by the squirrels that travel the highways (hydro and phone lines) that criss-cross between the properties.  Insects scurry back and forth along their well worn paths under the vegetation.  Gardens are a hive of activity.  One day the flower buds are lifting their little faces to the sun, and it seems like the  next day, the branches are heavy with tantalizing fruit.  The smells of moist earth is strangely stirring, and the fact that no matter how well tended the garden is, there is constant entropy and disorder.

Yet…. all is as it should  be, each and every part of the garden is living as it should.  There is a natural rhythm in nature, we let it happen, Variety IS vitality.  Each and everyone of us,  has our own rhythm/song.  It is up to each of us to sing as we feel moved by the over-all song of life.  Harmonize with it …sing in counterpoint….descend into strange modes, chant, “go with the flow”

PL teaches us to pray in order to have good self expression.  We need to strive to express ourselves joyfully, cheerfully and beautifully.

Thursday another glorious day!

How is your day?  I hope it is super fantastic. In Canada,we are heading into our Canada Day long week-end, lots of festivities planned for visitors coming to the capital.  Heard on the news that astronaut Chris Hatfield will be here performing on the sound stage on Parliament Hill.  He will also have a display of all the Twitter pictures he took while in space. I would imagine that our city will be buzzing all week-end with activities.  Yesterday we saw people going to the Jazz festival site near City Hall.  So many possibilities, so many options. Do you have plans?

Every day is a special day when we start the day with a smile and a positive attitude.

PL  Principles  #12   I will get up pleasantly in the morning.

When we ask someone for help, we do so with sincerity, both in words and actions.  In the same manner, when we pray, it is important to offer our utmost sincerity to God/Tao/Buddha.  In PL, when we pray to Got, we use a unique prayer form.  this can be done either performed sitting or standing.  the PL Prayer form allows you to attain the most ideal state of mind when praying.

Taking the time to perform this simple ritual for me has enhanced my time in prayer/meditation.  It is very personal, it helps me to really slow down and focus “center”.

On Sunday’s we will often take time before the service to do some exercise together.  This gives the body the opportunity to stretch and release any stiffness in the joints, to activate and extend.  Then when the service begins, and we sit down, our body is content to mellow, and our minds are free to absorb and truly focus on the spiritual and divine of the service.

The sanctuary is filled with positive and activated energy.  Ah just thinking of it, I am looking forward to Sunday service…From sharing with you, I now have a big broad smile on my “puss” and I extend a warm and fuzzy happy happy day to all of you.

LOL I feel a bit like the little avatar I can be, skipping happily down a flowered pathway, sprinkling bubbles of happiness and sunshine into the air wanting to bestow on every one around a super fantastic glorious day.  Blessings everyone!
