Acupuncture

So, I need more greens. I've known this for a year now while working with Rupesh. I still have heat and the tip of my tongue is still red. Hmm...so as I've taken a WHOLE year to modify my diet becoming a vegetarian and trying to put greens in every meal---spinach omelettes, etc. It's still not working, but I have hope. I'm incorporating spirulina after finishing my 2nd bottle of Chloroxygen. We'll see. But Rupesh heals me in a way that I'm sure any acupuncturist could. But every time I see him I come in with a sense of giddiness and nervousness, but leave with a complete sense of calm and peacefulness. He has that about him that seems to radiate from his being. Just being around him is healing. I am thankful for his insight and his advice and his healing powers. :)

As I think about people like Rupesh that have come into my life and exuded this sense of genuine care and help, I of course think of Brian, Pam, Tiffany, Liz, Claudia, people that exude love, a zest or calm sense of zest for life. I feel humbled and will continue to learn and reflect.

Live Music

ACL...walking around holding hands with my honey, dancing to the beats and sounds with sweaty people, meeting up with friends just to see familiar faces, riding bikes home...ACL was great. There were some amazing talented musicians there.

Without music life would be a mistake. ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Vedanta Treatise

My time at the Vedanta Treatise book studies on Sunday have been such a motivating experience. It is a time of introspection and connectedness, and really learning about Vedanta based on one of the most ancient spiritual texts ever in history, the Bhagavad Gita.

Sitting on the white carpeted floor of a clean room with only small frame of Ganesha adorning the plain white walls. The sound of the air filter buzzing and the feeling of unity, calmness, yet eagerness filling the room. It is a very purifying experience. Everyone waiting for the pauses between readings to hear the wise insight of Joseph the disciple of Swamiji. Beneath, feeling and allowing myself to see the love between the people in the room under the stoic faces displayed. Life is what we make of it. What we see is based on the ego (mind, body and intellect) and are desires and suffering. Everything is god, so be at peace.

I look forward to learning more...especially about meditation which seems to be a bigger push in Buddhism philosophy even for laymen in research.

Megan and Joseph. There seems to be a connection there that is being denied between those two.
