Another Piece of the Dream Life Puzzle (July 2005)

I just returned from "the best trip of my life" to central New York, my home town. (Now understand, that every trip I take is "the best trip of my life", and I took 17 "best trips" last year!!!) 

Anyhow, I've been practicing, studying and teaching spiritual principles for quite some time now. I know that my experience is a reflection of my feelings and I intend to feel good all the time. I'd said to my chiropractor the other day: "I feel so much better when I'm in nature" and he said "Of course you can change your perception and feel good now."....Boy, I can never get away from this stuff!!!

But I'm now discovering another piece of this Dream Life Puzzle.

When I first arrived on my trip, I was absolutely frazzled. I had rushed around so much here in LA, taught so many classes, etc. that my vibration I think was somewhat chaotic. Things were going OK but not that smoothly. I even had a very minor car mishap that really showed me how off  track I was. I wasn't feeling blithely happy, although I was OK.

Then after about 2 days, I started to feel REALLY GOOD. I started to feel WONDERFUL. OH MY GOD, I WAS FEELING FANTASTIC!!!!! I was breathing super clean air, eating wonderful Italian food, and seeing so much natural beauty. I had the most beautiful view from my hotel window---a huge field, mountains and rabbits playing!!! I loved my hotel; I loved my family and friends. I was ON FIRE!!

Now, suddenly things were going absolutely PERFECTLY! The minor car mishap turned into almost nothing. My friend Kay and I had the "best dinner of our lives" at the Waterworks, watching deer, squirrels, rabbits, ducks, geese, swans, birds a muskrat and a snake!!! I had some amazing synchronicities, met amazing new people, heard fabulous music, ate even better food....on and on it went.

So I asked myself:  Does it help to change outer circumstances sometimes to feel even better?

Now if you are not into the philosophies that I've been teaching you would say....YEAH!!! But I've guarded myself against always shifting the outer in order to feel better. I've found that it almost never works.  But now I have another awareness.. Some of like chocolate and some of us like vanilla. It's OK to have preferences. And if I continually lean into my preferences, i.e., go where I feel aliveness, my life can be even better!!!

So I challenge you to go through the day and ask yourself: What do I feel aliveness toward today? What gives me a sinking feeling? And let that be your guide/direction  in addition to our standard: "I'M HAVING THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!

Affirm often:
I'M HAVING THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!

Sincerely, Joni
