love yourself more
i just returned home from the wisdom qigong retreat with the ever-beautiful gabrielle euteneuer (universal tao senior instructor) at ao wira. there were seven women as well as myself there, where we shared a beautiful weekend of qigong exercises, breathing exercises and sounds to connect all the glands in the body and balance the hormone system, being cleansed with white sage smoke (gorgeous), rituals to connect deeper, clearing our energy, being fed the most gorgeous vegetarian dishes, and having a lovely spa and sauna surrounded by the forest at our convenience. I feel so inspired, full of love and passion, glowing...

deepak
a few weeks ago, i bought two premium tickets for deepak chopra's seminar, as i was a wee bit anxious he was going to sell out - which he did, and also because i have wanted to hear him speak FOREVER. Anyway, on the night of the seminar, I was given vip tickets from my very generous boss! ahhh!!! I could not believe!!!! so i gave my premium tickets away outside the event - which was incredibly difficult to do as everyone is so paro and cautious of free things these days - sad but so true! but I didn't want to waste the tickets and if anything, wanted someone else to enjoy deepak's brilliance. so two very lucky strangers received premium seats in the seminar! i hope they enjoyed! <3
deepak started at 6pm in the winter gardens for the 20 or so vip's that attended, did a whole question and answer section, spoke about life, thoughts, being, manifesting, etc... in amongst signing books and meeting people. he then spoke at his main seminar in front of a full house at the civic, and at one point the whole place was meditating! it was incredible. i am so proud and happy to say i met deepak, one of my ultimate inspirations and definitely one of my favourite authors. he asked my name!
i wrote a few notes from his main seminar (things that stood out to me and compacted a bit to you can read easier), which i would love to share as per request from many of my friends;;
- you are a flowing stream of information and energy
-we are not our physical bodies
-everything in the universe gets recycled, even souls, we are a recycling eco-system (!)
-the mind is a relational process
-every state in your mind will come across in your body
-brain: chemicals/electrical impulses/phenomenon
-you are either one of two things; interpreting from the past or making choices about the future (LOVE THIS)
-karma: past/memories/experience/time
-dream: imagination about future/desire
-your soul is on a journey through cosmic time
-the soul cannot be found in the body because its not in the body
"im not in the body, the body is in me, im not in the mind, the mind is in me, im not in the world, the world is in me"
-"physical reality" - molecules; 25% of universe is invisible/dark matter; 75% dark energy/space expanding; 5% helium/hydrogen
the body is made up of atoms/particles - 99% empty space - SOUL?
-everything is a vibration, including thoughts
-the essential nature of the world is not physical
-ON: energy/information
-OFF: no energy/objects/infinite possibility/infinite correlation
-every cell performing with itself/universe
-there is nothing more important than being in touch with oneself
-consciousness creates reality
-possibilities are only in ones consciousness
-in reality there are only possibilities
-when threatened - fight/flight
-limbic brain: joy/love/compassion/peace (is my brain made solely of limbic brain hahah?)
-equanimity - homeostasis
-cortical brain: reflect/question/creative
-neuroplasticity
-astral body made of stars
-four types of meditation:
*being - silent/repeat phrase
*feeling - evoke love/joy/healing
*thinking - reflect/who am i/what do I want
*doing - sense heart beat in fingertips/different parts of body - transfer blood flow
-15mins - I AM/OM - a day
-sleep: creativity/healing/recharged/spirituality
-the body is a process, not a structure
-to change the brain structure and lengthen the telomere you must include the following: meditation, healthy relationships and emotions, healthy food, sleep, exercise pattern
-awareness is the key to transformation and reinventing
-love awakens the soul <3
-the soul is the place beyond ego
-interoception - practice looking inside
-regulating and sensing activity of internal organs, heart, lungs, gut etc
-detach from automatic behavior - stress, anger... Stop/observe/detach
-conscious intent - conscious awareness
-have intentional awareness
-observe self without judging self
-first three years of life - mirror neurons
-consciousness: soul/cosmic/divine/unity
-divine consciousness - feeling others consciousness
-unity: where soul can merge with Universe
-one cell - two - four etc... 100, one trillion... so on
i hope my scribblings have made some sense ;)
love.
