暑かったので
、
夕食には、パスタをジェノベーゼソースであえて
角切りのトマトをいれた冷製パスタをいただいたドラゴンユウコです
美味しかったぁ・・
美味しいものをいただくときって、ほんと、超しあわせ感にあふれます。
今朝、ふと思ったこと・・・、
サプリや健康食品などの物質摂取や、
マッサージや健康法など身体に働きかけてることによって起きる治癒は、
それぞれの人が持つ観念、信念、思い込みによる影響がとても大きいのではないか・・・、ということでした。
巷には、身体に良いらしいサプリや補助食品や、健康に良いらしいマッサージ法、呼吸法、運動などについて書かれた本や雑誌であふれています。
それぞれに、レビューや体験談があり、効果抜群と謳っていたりします。
でも「すべて」が「すべての人」に効果があるとは誰一人思っていないと思います。
でも、「すべて、効果がある」と「すべての人」が心底信じていたら、「すべてがすべての人に効果がある」と、思うのです。
つまり、その人が「これは効く」と思うと、そのようにエネルギーが働いていくのであろう・・と。
逆に否定的な信念は、治癒や回復を妨げているのだろう・・と。
例えば、ヨーグルトはとても体に良いという人がいますし、ヨーグルトは乳製品だから体に良くないという人もいます。
本当にヨーグルトは体に良いと100％信じて摂るとそのように働いてくれると思うのです。
でも、「ヨーグルトは乳製品なので体に良くない」という観念や恐怖がどこかにあると、体に良いように働いてくれない場合があると思うのです。
一番体をいじめるのは、どこかで悪いと思いながら、食べたり飲んだりすることですよねー、当然のことですが・・
気づかない恐怖や信念もありますので、その時は、感謝の気持ちでいただくと良いと思うのです。
ヨーグルトでいうと、乳を出してくれる牛さん、牛さんを育てた人、牛さんが食べた草などが育つまでの地球や太陽の恵み、ヨーグルト製造のひとたち、流通関連のひとたち、パッケージを考えた人、売り場に並べた人、買ってきた人（私の場合はダーリン）などなど、感謝のネタはつきませんよね
感謝しながら、感謝を料理とともに味わいながらいただくと、
否定的な観念の影響が光に照らされて軽減されるというか消滅する感じがします。
感謝は愛のエネルギーで、愛の対極が恐怖であるとすると、
私たちは、同時に二つ以上の感情を持つことができないらしいので、
愛でいただいていることになるのでしょうか。
今朝は、グリーンスムージーにモロヘイヤ（今この時期、一番のおすすめ野菜）を入れました。
そういったお野菜は、植物界からいただいている命です。
ありがたや！！
これは体に良いのだというプラスの自分の信念や思い込みがわかれば、
その通りに行動し、エネルギーを動かしてみるといいかもしれません。
マイナスの信念はわかったら手放したいですよね。
やはりまずは自分を知ること・・に尽きるような気がします。
そして、ヨーグルトを摂るのは、例えば、
「腸内環境が悪くなるといけないから摂る」・・・のか、
または、「摂れば、腸内環境がよくなって体に良いから摂る」・・・のか。
または、「単に好きだから、美味しいから摂る」・・・のか（これもありですよね）
なんでもですが、選択をするとき、それが、「恐怖」からなのか、「愛」からなのかが、とても大切なことだと思います
さて、チョプラ博士の21日間メディテーション チャレンジの15日目のテキストをアップします。
Day 15
Miraculous Reflection
“We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.” —The Talmud
Today in our meditation we will explore the mirror of relationship. This is the idea that all of our relationships are a reflection of ourselves. The people we are attracted to are those who have traits that we have, only more so. We enjoy their company because we subconsciously feel that being with them will help us to cultivate and manifest those traits even more in our own lives. In the same way, we are repelled by people who reflect back to us traits that that are difficult to face in our own selves.
The mirror of relationship is a valuable tool that we can use to see ourselves more clearly and to expand our awareness. As we become willing to embrace the light and shadow that we all possess, we bring love and healing to ourselves and our relationships.
Mindful Moment
Pay attention to the lessons that you can learn from others today. Observe your reactions to the many people who cross your path. When you can see that everyone in the world is simply sharing your own consciousness, you will lose the need to judge others and open to greater understanding and love. With each encounter you have, observe carefully and repeat these words silently to yourself, “In you I see me, in me I see you.” Feel the compassion in your heart open and witness how the way you see the world begins to change.
Today’s Centering thought: ” The world is my mirror.”
Sanskrit Mantra: ”Om Bhavam Namah” I am absolute existence, I am a field of all possibilities.”
Oprah: ”Welcome to day 15, Miraculous Reflection. Well, here we are. It’s a brand new week and we get to grow together as we begin the final chapter of this 21 day meditation challenge. It’s not feeling like such a challenge anymore is it? Over the last 14 days, we set the spiritual stage for ourselves and then actively explored the many ways to flood ourselves with an abundance of love. So here we are in week 3 and we’re now ready to thread the pieces together so that we move forward in living a life that is filled with miraculous relationships. That what we want – every day. And today, Deepak takes us into deeper into a fascinating aspect of self-awareness, an idea that we are truly a mirror for others. We see ourselves in their reflections. They are there to teach us more about ourselves. That is going on all of the time. When we embrace this understanding, each relationship and everyone who crosses our path provides a chance to learn about ourselves and a chance to practice the type of person we hope to attract in our lives. In that rhythm, that is the rhythm of life, every person opens the door to great insight and transformation. So, let’s be still as Deepak leads us again to embrace all of who we are and all of the possibilities that follow. Then meditate with me and Deepak.”
Deepak: ”You and I are extensions of a universal energy field, all a single entity with different points of view. Although our senses tell us that what we are looking at is different from us, everything and everybody in the world is simply another version of us.
We are all mirrors for others. We see ourselves in the reflection of those around us. This is called the mirror of relationships. By recognizing that we can see ourselves in others, every relationship becomes a tool for the evolution of our consciousness. With increased awareness, we can envision what is possible and grow into our fullest potential.
What we see is not always beauty, sweetness and compassion, yet in order to transform that which no longer serves us into what we truly desire in our hearts, we must embrace both the dark and light of who we are.
One of the most poignant quotes about looking into the mirror comes from an unknown source, explaining the concept so well. The good you find in others is in you too. The faults you find in others are your faults as well. After all, to recognize something, you must know it. The beauty you see around you is your beauty. See the best in others and you will be your best. Give to others and you give to yourself. Appreciate beauty and you will be beautiful. Admire creativity and you will be creative. Love and you will be loved. Seek to understand and you will be understood. Listen and your voice will be heard.
The world around you is a reflection, a mirror showing you the person you are. The world is our classroom and teacher. Seeing ourselves in others is the greatest lesson in life provided that we view ourselves with love, acceptance and without judgment.
Through this lens, we become the reference point. It is no longer the other imposing a reality upon us. With blissful awareness, we can use these mirrors to let go of who we were yesterday, and grow to our greatest potential. A Taoist proverb says ‘We cannot see our reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see it’.
Through our daily practice of meditation, we plant our intention to be the person we know we can be in the silent field of all possibilities. As we prepare for our meditation, let us take a moment to focus on today’s centering thought, ‘The world is my mirror’. ’The world is my mirror.’
Please sit comfortably and close your eyes. In this moment, go within. Let go of all thoughts and begin to observe the inflow and outflow of your breath, inhaling and exhaling slowly and deeply. Now, gently introduce the mantra, Om Bhavam Namah. I am absolute existence. I am a field of all possibilities. Repeat the mantra silently to yourself, Om Bhavam Namah. Om Bhavam Namah. Continue for about 6 minutes. Om Bhavam Namah. Om Bhavam Namah. Just silently in the mind.
Release the mantra. Please bring your awareness back into your body, take a moment to rest. When you feel ready, gently open your eyes. Approach today with certainty as you contemplate the centering thought, ‘The world is my mirror’. ’The world is my mirror.’ ’The world is my mirror.’
Namaste,
Journal Questions:
1. Consider the people in your life who you are attracted to and make a list of at least ten qualities that they possess. Now think of the people who irritate or repel you and list ten or more of their “undesirable” qualities. As you reflect on these lists, what can you learn about yourself?
2. When you have a strong reaction to another it can be viewed as a gift. Think about a recent difficult communication you had in your life, and review it with care. Take time to identify and write in detail about the gifts you received through this valuable exchange.
3. Visualize the type of relationships you would like to attract into your life. Write a detailed description in your journal. What are the qualities and feelings you choose to attract into your life? Describe shifts you would like to see in current relationships. Describe in detail the new relationships you hope to cultivate. Think big and wide; include the full spectrum of relationships that you have or would like to have in your life.
4. Please reflect on today’s session in your journal.
