transparente- transparency of being

there is an incredible lightness in living life when i live with a transparency of being. mindfully choosing who and which places to unveil my heart and share my light. I have been so surprised to been gifted with people in my life that are open to engage in a transparency of being. i love being actively listened to, having a space to share. i am also trying to create space in my life, so i am not running from one thing to the next and i can listen to people more, have deeper conversations more, create yummy relationships.


quiero tener la piel de cristal nada a nadie ocultar
transparente como el agua se vera mi verdad

pensar bonito

this song never gets old

recargo todos mis cristales con la luz del amor
este es mi trabajo y no jalono a nadie
pero hay que pararse en el centro
en el corazon



mire bien mire bien que los cristales los tiene por dentro usted tambien
en el corazon

Macrobiotic Prayer

Time to go back to brown rice and macrobiotics, the universe is sending me signals everywhere. This prayer is from one of my favorite books: "A hip Chick's Guide to Macrobiotics"

   

Dear Infinite Universe: 

I am a magician 

Through the alchemy of cooking 

I am turning this time into glittering gold. 

I am building my body 

And the bodies of those I love. 

Instead of Stagnation, 

I am enjoying growth and forward motion. 

Instead of hiding my light, it is glowing in the world. 

It feels so good to be alive. 

Cooking wakes up my senses, 

Sharpens my intuition, 

And warms my soul. 

Cooking is cool. 

Thank you for teaching me, through cooking 

About your elements; 

Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Tree 

Which make up my body and all living things. 

With you, I am nourishing my deepest power  

And my wildest dreams.  

Let’s go!  

bliss

being home with my dad and sister and listening to a recording of my mom playing music when she was 16. The recording was just sent to us from our family friends that live in seattle. strong friendships.. priceless!!!!

break-ups

during my meditation today, i was having a hard time practicing bodhicitta (loving kindness). it's hard to send loving kindness to other living beings when you are hurting and going through heart break. finally, my mind relaxed and the focus was loving kindness. i finally decided to blog about heart break, because our minds and hearts can relax when we can tune in to what is happening inside without judging or pretending. life changes and challenges are opportunities for growth. yeah, i know you've heard it before and yes i know that is the last thing you want to hear when life is rough. 

i know for me i am learning to remain centered and grounded in compassionate thoughts, actions words and deeds, even with those that have hurt me. i am learning to have the courage to confront people when they hurt me, when that is appropriate and while on the other hand learning to be happy and face whatever life throws at me. 

this entry is in honor to all who have taken a chance on love, those that are striving to share themselves deeply, to live compassionately, those committed and devoted to transforming the suffering of living beings on earth. 

i am grateful to have a spiritual community to practice and come back to my core during heart breaks, break ups and life challenges. sharing my spirituality with my sangha has played such a crucial role in my spiritual maturity, growth and healing

thank you!
