Ever since I began to unravel the power of focussed energy of thought, one person has provided me with constant inspiration and support. That is Mike Dooley. I have subscribed to Mike Dooley's TUT's Adventure website and received his fun, rib-tickling, inspiring and always uplifting messages everyday.
If you wish to listen to Mike's powerful speech on thoughts and things, check out this link.

And remember that thoughts become things. Choose only the good ones. Smile.

It’s all about Attention, Energy and Focus
The wise ones have known it all along. It is all about attention, energy and focus. They have said it to us in many ways, in many languages, many symbols and many lessons over the ages. We are just beginning to figure out the significance.
So wherever you place you attention, energy and focus, you get more of. The universe just picks up that energy and multiplies it and sends it right back to you – call it the action/reaction, call it karma, call it whatever you will. There is no escape.
So if you are finding stuff in your life that you would rather not have, take a minute to reflect on what you are placing you attention energy and focus. You may surprise yourself.

Meditation -- Pure Grounding.
Connecting with our body, mind and spirit is one of the most powerful ways of remaining centered grounded and in balanced harmony. This is a short meditation to bring us back to that space. Just using intention and visualization. Pretty cool. Try it.

What Treasure
What manner of treasure
Have you to offer, my love
Do you remember
Where you left the key
To your treasure chest

Stay By The Light
Keep the light within your sight
My Love
When clouds come closing in
There is no one here
Who has the key
To lead you back
Whence you came
They will call to you enticingly
Show you their wares
Give you their promises
Sell with their smart tongue
Dancers and songsters
Magicians and tricksters
Trying mightily to remember
Their own way back to love
Who will show the way
Each himself lost with no recall
Don’t stray far from the light
My Heart
Stay softly awake, alert
No longer need you lurk in shadows
Hiding from your fears
All things come fulfilled
Here by the light
And love pours out in heaps and piles
And peeps through the parting clouds
Now at last they can find their way
Each one of them will return someday
Stay by the light
My Sweet
And your love will find you

Taking my body for a walk
I like to take my body for a walk every morning.
Yesterday was a particularly beautiful morning. The sun was glistening of the morning dew on the grass, clear blue skies and the unmistakable air of approaching fall – cool, crisp and crystalline. My body’s happiness knew no bounds. The heart opened up to breathe in life to the fullest. There was a certain spring in the steps like a child out at play. Walking felt like dancing, each part moving in rhythm step after step – well coordinated, well synchronized – loving every bit of the morning.
My neighbors take their dogs out to walk. (And their bodies too – but probably don’t see it from this perspective). So we meet Tyson and Phoebe and Lola and Gracie and Spike and Goldie as they walk with their masters and mistresses. How like my own body these dogs are – excited and exuberant to be out in the morning air. Gracie the darling dog wants to make friends with everyone she meets – look at me, love me, pet me, she calls out as she drags her owner towards me. Her mistress tries hard to reign her leash in and keep her within bounds. Partly exasperated, partly embarrassed, she apologizes.
I understand perfectly. My body too wants to wave, greet and smile at everyone. It wants to make small talk as if to say ‘here we are on this beautiful morning sharing space on this gorgeous planet, do you see, do you feel what I feel?’ It wants to dance and jump with joy. But like Gracie’s mistress, I too ask my body to contain its enthusiasm, lest it is a bother for others.
Today too I took my body for a walk and we met a new dog – a handsome black and red Collie. Master and dog approached us. About a fifty yards before we met, master quietly spoke to the dog and the dog obediently moved over to one side to allow us enough space to pass. And as we passed, both master and dog greeted us with their bright beautiful morning smiles and walked on. It was then that I noticed that this dog was not tethered by a leash, and yet walking along calmly close to his master. No frisky running about, no chasing after strangers for a quick pet, no excessive curiosity – just taking a brisk walk in the sun. Master and dog enjoying the morning.
That’s how I’d like my body to be – like that red and black Collie. No need for a leash to be pulled and contained. No longer needing to be disciplined or controlled, just a quiet acceptance that all is well, ever heeding its master’s voice – my soul.
And one of these days if all goes well, I may even qualify for an upgraded model. Until then this body of mine and I will keep playing and dancing. And taking walks in the morning.

A Treatise on Love
“I don’t know what to do with her love,” he said.
Oh just take it and think nothing of it.
“Oh no, couldn’t possibly do that. Love comes with strings attached you know. If I receive her love, she will take it as a signal for a promise of reciprocation. And then she will expect me to become responsible for loving her, for taking care of her emotional well-being, her happiness. She will look to me for nurturing. Expectations piling upon expectations. A trap it is. I have stepped into that before. Those loving strings will keep binding you till they turn into a noose around your neck and leave you gasping for breath.”
What if she just loves you for the sake of love itself? What if you just let yourself enjoy it? What if you could become like a child once again and receive all the loving that came your way. And just like the child you never think of the ‘what ifs’, or of returning it measure for measure. What if you were to reclaim your innocence, your own naturally loving self? Can you let yourself allow the love in, soak and bask in it like a child? Let the splendor of it naturally radiate back from you? Because loving is so infectious, so contagious? What if you just enjoyed it?
“Is that at all possible? Is it even fair, this take-what-you-get loving with nary a thought? Should I not have to do something, earn it somehow? Work at it to keep it? And ‘do’ some more to keep it coming? Can anyone love in this fashion and expect no promises in return? Is it possible, this loving without claims?"
No one knows the answer to that. All we know is that that is the very kind of loving we have thirsted after since the day we were born – that unconditional, boundless, endless loving. This is the greatest treasure we have longed for all through life. Only that which is given first may return one day. May be she too wants to know if it is possible?
So can you just receive her love, enjoy it, bask in it and let it be just that?
And leave the rest to God?
