カレン・ニーベリ宇宙飛行士が
ISS(国際宇宙ステーション)から撮影した夜明けの写真
昨夜のNHK「宇宙生中継 彗星爆発 太陽系の謎」をご覧になった方もいらっしゃると思います。
若田さんがISSから撮影した地球、きれいでしたね。
ISSが日本を九州から北海道へ移動時に撮影された夜景もすばらしかったです。
ドラゴンユウコの故郷、鹿児島や
今住んでいる伊勢の町も
あ、あのあたりだ・・・と
ママリンとちと興奮気味に見ておりました
ISSは、地上から約400kmの上空を
秒速約8km(時速約2万8000キロ）で飛行していて
地球を約90分で1周
1日で約16周します
朝も16回見ることになります。
以前、ネスカフェがCMで使った際に
谷川俊太郎の「朝のリレー」という詩を知り
ああ、地球ってつながっているのだって感動したことがあります
「朝のリレー」
カムチャッカの若者が
きりんの夢をみているとき
メキシコの娘は
朝もやの中でバスを待っている
ニューヨークの少女が
ほほえみながら寝返りをうつとき
ローマの少年は
柱頭を染める朝陽にウインクする
この地球では
いつもどこかで朝がはじまっている
ぼくらは朝をリレーするのだ
経度から経度へと
そうしていわば交代で地球を守る
寝る前のひととき耳をすますと
どこか遠くで目覚まし時計のベルがなってる
それはあなたの送った朝を
誰かがしっかりと受けとめた証拠なのだ
私のいる場所が何時であっても
この地球のどこかに必ず「朝」という
すべてが太陽に照らされ始め生き生きとしてくる始まりの場所があって
出会ったことのない人たちが次々と朝を迎えているのです。
地球はつながっている。
みんなつながっている。
地球は一つ。
そして、わたしたちは地球に共に生きている存在なのです。
地球というマザーアースは優しく私たちを乗せて回っているような気がします。
地球さん、ありがとう・・・
地球さんに、そしてすべてに
感謝の気持ちでいっぱいになるドラゴンユウコなのでした

Day 20 Visionary Me
一人でできることはわずかですが
共に協力しあうと多くのことができます－ヘレン・ケラー
Mindful Moment：今日は、これまで一度も話をしたことのない人と心を通わせることを心がけてみましょう。たとえば、あなたの職場で毎朝、挨拶はしていても実は名前も知らないという人がいるかもしれません。ちょっと時間をとってその人物に話しかけ、自己紹介をしてみてもいいかもしれません。そのようにして人と心を通わせることによって人生がさらに充実したものになることを感じてみましょう。
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” Helen Keller
“When we think of networking, we likely see ourselves at a cocktail party, handing out business cards, meeting new acquaintances, and sharing a little bit about ourselves. But networking from a spiritual perspective is something quite different.
As we spend more time in stillness and align ourselves with intuition, we understand our roles as visionaries and are eager to connect with everyone around us in an entirely new way. Instead of “getting out there” in order to make something happen, we embrace opportunities to venture out because we want to meet new people, experience things we have never done before, and share what we have learned with everyone we meet.
All of us are visionaries with something to share. Connecting fulfills us and enables us to help others find fulfillment as well.”
Mindful Moment “Make a point today of reaching out to someone you have never had a conversation with before. For instance, there may be someone in your office to whom you’ve offered a polite greeting every day but never learned his name. Take a few minutes and talk to this person; get to know him or her and share something about yourself. Notice how much richer your life feels after you have enjoyed this person’s company.”
Centering Thought: “The world is waiting for my vision.”
Sanskrit Mantra: “Aham Brahmasmi – I am the universe”
Oprah: “Welcome to day 20, Visionary Me. In our last three weeks together, we’ve awakened to who we really are, to what we deeply want, and to the truth of our highest purpose. All of this insight and energy needs one more spark to truly light up and manifest our destiny. That spark comes from action, from connection and communication. Everything I know is better when you share it. And our destinies are richer when we are connecting to others. Asking for what you want, sharing more freely of what you know, building on the co-creative power of spirit – these steps move us from holding a dream in our hearts – to actualizing it as part of our destiny. What we speak comes to life, sparking collaborative potential, inspiring creative ideas, igniting possibility and opening the door for divine purpose to enter. When we share, we step into certainty and move one step closer to our destiny. I’m excited, as I know you are to, as we listen to what Deepak share about how our words inform our action and empower our intentions to the universe.”
Deepak: “In the stillness of meditation, during our journey together, we have become more connected to who we really are, our true self, our spirit. As our self-awareness expanded, we began to see with clarity what we truly want and increase understanding of our divine purpose, our destiny. Today, we will explore that there is another step required to truly activate and call in the manifestation of our destiny. It is the action of connection and communication. It is through our willingness to communicate and share ideas, perspective and vision with others that we grow more comfortable being in, and speaking our truth. We begin to let our guard down and sincerely ask what we want and need, and we give more freely, recognizing that we are all interconnected in consciousness.
With little effort, staying present with one another, and being ourselves, we start to recognize common personal and professional interests. Inspiration seemingly comes out of nowhere and new opportunities spontaneously arise. Through this purest level of connection, new ideas roll in. Now, more connected with our intuition, we are pointed in the direction of where to go and whom to meet.
Sometimes, just going to what seems like and everyday place, to a party or a park, puts us in the most interesting space, giving us a spark of an idea, or a human connection that leads us further down the path of manifesting a long-held dream. We have gifted ourselves with an authentic platform to share our vision, and as we courageously share, we receive support, inspire others, discover unexpected connection and new ideas, and we begin to live in the energetic flow of our destiny. Together, in community. This understanding puts an entirely new twist on the idea of networking. No longer do we feel the need to get out there because we should make connections in order to succeed. Instead, we want to be out there because we can’t wait to be in conversation about our vision and enjoy the camaraderie of our fellow human beings and the real excitement of life.
So while we’ve emphasized the importance of spending time in stillness is in our daily lives, pay attention to how that stillness informs action, honor the transformations you experience, and the new relationships you create and you begin to live your life more fully as the beautiful being you were born to be. Today, I invite you to speak freely about what your vision and your dreams. The spoken word is a powerful tool and by strengthening your voice, you expand your dreams from internal thoughts to external possibilities. Laying the groundwork for divine purpose to manifest. Know that by being in conversation, by verbalizing your desires out loud, you are empowering your intentions to the universe.
As we begin our meditation, contemplate today’s centering thought, the world is waiting for my vision. The world is waiting for my vision.
Please get comfortable. Sit with your hands in a relaxed position and release any tension in your body. Begin to witness your breath, slowly inhaling and exhaling, inhaling and exhaling. Begin to silently repeat today’s mantra, Aham Brahmasmi. I am the universe. Aham Brahmasmi. As thoughts enter your mind, if you near noises, or feel sensation in your body, remind yourself of the mantra, repeating it effortlessly. Aham Brahmasmi. Continue with your meditation for about 10 minutes. Then release the mantra and bring your attention back into your body. Take a moment to rest. When you feel ready, you can open your eyes.
Throughout the day, embrace who you are as you consider our centering thought, The world is waiting for my vision. The world is waiting for my vision. The world is waiting for my vision.
Namaste

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” Harriet Tubman
“Congratulations on completing this 21-day journey with us! We are delighted that you have ventured on this path to fulfill your destiny and experience abundant joy.

Centering Thought: “My destiny is joy”
Sanskrit Mantra: “Om Bhavam Namah – I am absolute existence. I am a field of all possibilities.”
Oprah: “Here we are already. Hard to believe! 21 days have gone by so quickly. Day 21, Extraordinary me. Deepak and I are so grateful that you chose to stay with us, exploring your inner truth, allowing your deepest desires to emerge and guide you toward your true destiny. Joy. It’s been an extraordinary journey. Each one of us is extraordinary with wondrous dreams and desires designed to help us fulfill our unique purpose in this lifetime – which can evolve and change over time. Each of us has the divine potential to realize a magnificent destiny – all our own, by following and living our joy. As you dream a bigger dream for yourself, my greatest hope is that you continue to find stillness within. This I know for sure…for sure. Giving yourself that space and quiet will lead you to even more miraculous dreams, more joy, more possibility, and a supreme destiny beyond your greatest imagination. Nothing is too extraordinary to be achieved. If you can dream it, and your intentions are pure, you can be it, and be of service in sharing it with the world. What a gift for us. What a gift for you. Thank you. And you know what to do. Let’s get comfortable once more. Breathe, relax, listen to Deepak and share stillness together. Namaste.”
Deepak: “Congratulations on completing this magnificent 21 days together. You know now that within you, you have all the tools you need to access your pure potential, to evolve your dreams into reality, and to live a life of extraordinary design. We have learned so much during our 21 days together. Now is the time to take your chance as you reach for the stars. It is your destiny.
Right now, imagine something that you have always wanted but perhaps thought impossible. That one idea that you keep tucked away, perhaps with such care that you have not even dared to speak it aloud. Yet, you hold on to the dream because it resonates so deeply within you. Close your eyes and see it. Really see it. Envision that you are living this dream right now. It is your life. No cutting corners, no holding back. Your deepest dream in motion. What is your life like? How do you feel?
As humans, we have the remarkable ability to transform all that we imagine into reality. Understand that if a deep desire lives in your heart, a dream that is part of your soul’s fiber, a path exists to bring it to life. Abundance in all its forms is our birthright. We were born to enjoy every aspect of life, to experience every emotion, and to discover the seeds of potential that live within. As you practice trusting that the universe is always there to support you, I invite you to continue stepping into your greatest self, to experience everything there is to know, confident in the knowledge of who you really are – a radiant spirit worthy of everything life has to give. See yourself united with the unlimited potential dwelling within you, and everyone and everything that is part of the universe. From this place of unlimited potential, give yourself permission to dream big. Tap into that vast reservoir of courage that is available to all, as you move through and well beyond your comfort zone into the space of infinite joy, peace and possibility. As you embrace life with passion, seize each wonderful moment and make the most of each adventure. Be rooted in the knowledge that you’re as mighty as the universe itself, full of love, joy and power. You are star dust, a bright, golden light and all good things of this lifetime are indeed your divine destiny.
Before we begin today’s meditation, consider the centering thought, my destiny is joy. My destiny is joy.
Please be seated comfortably, relaxing your hands and your body. Breathe effortlessly and easily and release whatever tension you feel. Begin to repeat today’s mantra, just mentally. Om Bhavam Namah. I am absolute existence. I am a field of all possibilities. Om Bhavam Namah. When you’re distracted by thoughts, noises, or sensations in your body simply return to the mantra. Om Bhavam Namah. Continue meditating for about 10 minutes. Then let the mantra go and become aware of your body. Take a moment to rest, breathing with ease. When you feel ready, you can open your eyes.
Throughout the day, envision yourself as the powerful being you are and think about our centering thought, my destiny is joy. My destiny is joy. My destiny is joy. Namaste.”
