Everything is Easy

It dawned on me that there are things I once could do easily that are more difficult or seemingly impossible now. I used to be able to jump down 5 or 6 steps on the average staircase. I have a mental block against it now...based on the Physical Shock I received when I discovered my new Gravitational Limitations... So how about saving my energy for better pursuits? There too I discovered that I have a difficult time finishing large text books. I used to devour entire textbooks in a week! What gives?! I'll come back to that one because it's becoming important to get that groove back.

This past week I was dusting off my piano playing to rehearse a jazz tune for an upcoming wedding reception and began to panic because I once could hear a chord progression and then play it almost exactly on the first try. Too much loud music in my headphones (physical shock), or is it a mental block? So the eureka moment came when I closed my senses for a second and thought of the joy of doing this thing that bore no physical barrier. I felt that joy right in my lungs as I mentioned in a previous post and the thought came to mind: "Everything is easy." After that, I listened to the patch of the song that was troublesome, and nailed it. Try it sometime. Be honest with yourself, because if you have no background in something, you'll simply be laying ground for success, but you'll have to fail a few times first. With things you once mastered, evoke their Easyness and enjoy the outcome.

Yearning

Do you yearn? Do you find a certain relaxation in your body when you think about or connect with or fully possess the object of your affections? Where does this relaxation take place? For me it is my lungs. I have a friend (JB) who does life coaching to thank for making me aware of this. When I think about my yearnings and begin to envision myself living my dream, I feel an irrepressible urge to sigh and my breathing slows and gets very comfortable. My mind as a result gets clear and I begin to see as it were lighted steps leading across the ether, as checkpoints toward the ultimate goal. That's a nice feeling. I just had one again now that this entry is complete.
