Out of head, out of mind.

Well if you are not out of your head, you should be.  That’s meditation-ally speaking, of course.  Many people, head people usually, have a tough time meditating. They may deny it, being in the ego state and in a perpetual state of the monkey mind with all its chatter clatter.

Yes, I have known some. It takes effort to meditate (not),  rather no-effort.  If you see it as effort, it will be, and it will be more difficult.  I know I have been there and it is a more of a letting go.

The mind, the ego, does not want to let go of anything or anyone.  Focusing on doing more of what you do not want, will get you more of the same of that do not want.  Just be and let go.  Some say it is to commune with God, universe,  source or whatever you wish to call that.

Speaking of serenity, and I do sometimes, speak of and to, serenity.  But this is not referring to a person in this case.  Here is a quote I received today.

“Meditation is returning to the source.

The inner source is serenity.

If you don’t realize the source within yourself, you are lost in confusion and sorrow.

It is not really speaking, thinking or any of that stuff.

Make sense?  Perhaps but when we try to make sense of things we sometimes lose the real meaning, trying to analyze things to death.  That keeps us in the head and not being in touch with who we really are.  Close your eyes, turn off the gadgets, noise, feel it, breathe it, allow it to flow, center yourself first.

I am not really going to give a mediation lesson here,  Wayne Dyer and many others have methods.  Google it.  Or better yet, Scroogle It.  Scroogle your Google.  Go with whatever feels right or try several of the methods, but do not get hung up on the methodology or you will stay stuck in your head.  That is not where you want to be as you will not truly experience meditation in that space. You can also meditate on an object such as a picture, or a peaceful scene. Here is one I took recently that captures a peaceful moment for me.

Happy Birthday Honey Yes it is a birthday today for Norah Jones, she is 29 years young. Honorable mention goes out to Vincent van Gogh.

I suspect that Norah is in better condition at this stage of life and time. Another famous person’s birthday is Celine Dion. But for today I am going with Norah. It is my blog and I decide.

Never mind Warren Beatty, of Bonnie and Clyde fame, fans. That is it. Over and out, finito. Why Norah, well I just love her voice and energy. She is not bad looking either. No I am not switching away from God.

God does not care really, having much more important things to do. I could say God does not care like many humans but I won’t go that far! Who knows what and God is not about to tell us. Besides Vincent and Norah would make a fine portrait together, would they not? That would certainly would make for some interesting sights sounds and scenes.

Ok, I am getting some vibes. I went out yesterday with my trusty Fuji camera, the one I just point and shoot at things.

Some things do not co-operate like the guy who was trying to get up into the air and fly over the cliff and over the sea on this para-sail thing or whatever. It was like watching a bird trying to get off the ground and was a week too early out of the nest.

Insert Picture Here Bud, Ok I says to myself. Yes You can click on it and it will become bigger!

Now that was getting back to the portrait. I saw two sweet ladies doing some artistic painting and decided to take a picture of one who was painting the sea. She said it was ok. Whew!

I missed the guy downtown, I would have liked to get a shot of him. He has a big sign about God and Satan. I thought it may have been a message for Lydia. But I did go back downtown but he had disappeared by then. Hmm. Disappeared. Who do I know who does that so well? Got to think on that one. DO.

I heard Norah Jones on the cbcradio2 station I listen to. Just trying to find Twitter but it is not coming up for me. Wonder what the connection between twits and twitter is? Does anyone know? Is is like the geeks and Geekers? Oops, no sooner then I had wrote that me Twitter page loaded.

Must have been a sign from you know who or whom! I will let Norah sing us out for today. Enjoy!
