Do Not Leave Your Body

You and I can sense expansive Universal energies, ushered by relaxation, drifting into love and the feel for belonging. Stay in touch with how your body is feeling. Do not leave your body nor forget you have one! Take care of your body, too; otherwise, where will you live?

We know our feelings are felt with our physical bodies, that is, from the neck down. Universal energies that hold our bodies in tact are the very same energies upon which our feelings swirl around and inside our presence. I remember to stay with my body, to be voluntarily aware of feelings as I read and write, and talk and move throughout the day.

It’s been my experience when I feel pangs of upset, or something I can’t quite put my finger on, I get into gear and start talking; get physical; sing or hum – to navigate the body and mental process into peak performance. Oh yes, dancing to a Mozart symphony is helpful for energizing sensibilities, too!

These days, staying awake requires layers of deliberate focus and energy. One element of staying awake is remaining sensitive to our surroundings as we ingest galling national and international concerns televised on the news or Internet.

Since I’ve been reading a lot more, and felt deeply about Earthlings’ quickened evolution, I’m expanding what I’ve said before.

We U.S. citizens are collectively confronting unethical contracts between corporations and governments who position themselves behind stained-glass storm windows. Citizens’ upsets are actually fancied by cloistered barons and lords who have inherited generations of expertise for playing minions and schemers against each other on the judicial, political, religious, and socio-economic checkerboard.

Autocrats’ psychological, media-driven fluff continues audacious, while finessing racketeered resources behind closed doors of secret gambling salons.

How do you feel after reading that? Do not leave your body, but focus on how you are feeling, then you might instantly empathize with our global sisters and brothers who are seemingly at the mercy of malfeasance. Earthlings collectively have yet to imagine what it will take to begin creating an empathic, loving world without preposterous economic and governmental, psychological and religious oppressions.

Our constant curiosity is key
to watching what’s being created.
