昨日は世界陸上最終日、ついつい、最後まで見てしましました
中でも感動したのは、男子三段跳です
至上3人目の18mを超えての金メダル！をとったのは、テディ・タムゴ（Teddy Tamgho）選手。
2011年に右足首を骨折し、手術後の２年間は競技ができなかったそうです。
その中で世界のトップにたつ、
しかも史上2人しか達成していなかった18m超えをする・・・
すごーい・・。
今朝、ふと思いました。
骨折が治るのであれば、他の骨の不具合も治癒できるのではないかと・・。
硬縮した関節や変形した関節ももとに戻るのではないかと・・・。
「身体は常に治りたがっている、本来のバランスがとれた体に戻りたがっている、それを止めているのは、間違った信念や思い込みである」と
いろんな本に書いてあります。
身体の治癒に対してだけでも、
3次元だから時間がかかるとか、骨だから治らないとか、自分の思い込みってたくさんありそう。
白鳥哲監督のように、
不調和な意識エネルギーをひとつひとつ観て受け入れていくのにはとても時間がかかりそうで、
気が遠くなるような取り組みが必要だと思ったのですが、
白鳥監督は、一か月ほどの作業で、腫瘍が縮小し始めたそうです。
ひと月ってけっこう・・あっという間・・だと思いました。
ひとつひとつ観ていき、受け入れて、赦す、という作業を
真剣にやっていき、ある程度まで行くと、加速されそうな気がします。
加速され、最後には瞬間にたどり着くような気がします。
時空を超え始めると時間は関係ないと思うのです。
それには、時間を超越している「愛」の波動や、身体的には
ハートチャクラと、深いかかわりがあるのでは感じました。
それを探求していくのがなんだかとっても楽しみです
さて、チョプラ博士の21日間メディテーションの13日目と14日目をアップします。
Day 13
Miraculous Awareness
“The quieter you become, the more you can hear.” —Ram Dass
"Today, as we continue on the journey toward creating miraculous relationships, we explore one of the richest gifts we have to offer others: our undivided attention. In the enlightening stillness of meditation, we will focus on the many gifts available through listening with our ears, heart, and soul.
Consider for a moment the last time you truly felt heard. What a gift it is when another person is truly present, hearing our words as well as receiving all the unspoken messages we send through our energy, body, and nonverbal communication. Listening is a form of mindful attention that brings us fully into the present moment, where miracles can unfold in our relationships and in every area of our lives.
Mindful Moment
Set the intention to have at least one conversation today in which you truly listen with your heart and soul. Give yourself permission to pause your busy inner dialogue. Listen to the words being spoken and make the choice to listen beyond the words to receive the full spirit and potential of the message. With fresh and attentive eyes and ears, witness the miracle of the person before you, seeing them through the eyes of your heart. With this practice you invite true connection, infinite possibility, and abundant love into your life and relationships. "
Today's Centering Thought: "I am present."
Sanskrit Mantra: "Om Vardhanam Namah"
Oprah: "Welcome to day 13, Miraculous awareness. If there is one lesson I have to say I've learned during my time on this planet, it is this...the number one thing all people crave is to be seen and to be heard. It's just that simple. The gift of paying attention is a fundamental key to transforming our relationships and you will be surprised at how miraculous your relationships become if you just start paying attention. Today, Deepak leads us on a journey to hear with our hearts and spirits - not just our ears. Deep listening allows other people to feel truly heard, to feel received. As you give this kind of attention to other people, you will soon begin to see and learn so much about them, and also about yourself. When that gift is returned back to you, you'll realize how power it is and your relationships will start to shift. It's time to breathe, get still and really listen..."
Deepak: "Artist and author, Kahlil Gibran, offers a unique perspective; the reality of the other person is not in what he reveals to you but in what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says but rather to what he does not say.
In our fast-paced competitive world, many times the drive to be heard compels us to speak strategically and often. Our motivation, in many cases, is to be noticed, valued and hopefully accepted. Have you ever been so busy planning what you're going to say next, or so eager to share your point of view that you missed what was being communicated to you? What if the key to transforming relationships is the simple act of listening?
Are you willing to slow down, trust, and truly receive the words of others? One of the most precious gifts we can give someone is to listen. Really listen. Likewise, we can tell when someone is truly listening and receiving our words. They don't interrupt but wait patiently for us to finish what we are saying. They may also ask questions based on what we have been saying. This lets us know their minds are not thinking about something else but are genuinely engaged in our conversation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, 'who you are speaks so loud I can't hear the words you are saying'. If we listen with our hearts, we can feel the emotions behind the words that are being said or not being said. Sometimes people don't require a reply. They simply want to speak a truth that lives within.
When we are committed to nurturing the speaker, and listening intuitively, we will know when to say something and when to simply receive their words. The greatest gift we can give another is to listen with a heart filled with love, open without judgment and entirely present. We know that every sentient being on earth is interconnected at the deepest level possible; therefore, we are all mirrors for each other. When we are fully present with another person, we are practicing a present moment awareness for ourselves.
Gifts come in different forms. What we do know about giving is that it is on the same continuum as receiving. When we gift another with our full attention, the gift will be returned to us by another and yet another. We transform our relationships when we listen with our ears, hearts and souls.
As we nurture one another as the bountiful universe nourishes us, our hearts will be happy and we will lighten up the universe with our gestures of love. Let's consider our centering thought, 'I am present'. 'I am present'.
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 Vardhanam Namah. I nourish the universe and the universe nourishes me. Repeat the mantra silently to yourself, Om Vardhanam Namah. Om Vardhanam Namah. Whenever you find yourself distracted by thoughts, sensations in your body or noises in the environment, simply return your attention to mentally repeating the mantra, Om Vardhanam Namah. Continue with your meditation for about 6 minutes. Om Vardhanam Namah. Just silently. Om Vardhanam Namah.
Release the mantra. Please bring your awareness back into your body, take a moment to rest. When you feel ready, gently open your eyes.
As you travel through your day, contemplate the centering thought, 'I am present'. 'I am present.' 'I am present.'
Namaste,
Journal Questions:
1. Take a moment to think about the different people you have interacted with today and yesterday. How well have you listened? Were you busy in your own thoughts, impatient, or maybe in a hurry to get on to the next task in your life? Or, were you fully present with them? Consider the things that may have stopped you from listening and how you might expand your capacity to listen. Take this time to write in detail about your current listening patterns and how you would like to strengthen the special gift of presence that you have to offer yourself and others. Attention and practice with the art of listening will change your life experience.
2. Think of someone whom you consider an excellent listener. What is it about how that person is, acts, and responds that lets you know you are truly being heard? Describe in detail what it feels like to communicate with this person and what you notice about his or her listening style.
3. Take a moment right now to tune into your heart. What messages does it have for you today?
4. Please reflect on today's session in your journal.
Day 14
Miraculous Divinity
“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.” —Dalai Lama
“Congratulations on completing two weeks of our challenge! By taking time each day in the inner quiet of meditation, you are cultivating the space for your relationships to flourish.
Today our meditation focuses on seeing with eyes of love. While each of us appears to be a separate individual, we are all inextricably connected at the soul level. We are all expressions of the infinite field of pure potentiality, also known as spirit, God, the universe, source, or whatever name most resonates with you. When we relate to each other from the level of ego or personality, it is easy to get caught up in the struggle for control and approval and the need to be right. But when we relate to each other from the soul level, we experience the expansion of love, joy, compassion, and harmony.”
Mindful Moment
“Today send everyone you encounter a silent blessing. You may want to silently repeat the greeting of namasté: the spirit in me honors the spirit in you. Consider dedicating today to living the true spirit of namasté—giving yourself permission to internally bow to each and every person that crosses your path as you witness, honor and acknowledge the divine spirit that they are.”
Today’s Centering Thought: ”I see through the eyes of my soul.”
Sanskrit Mantra: ”So Hum. I am.”
Oprah: ”Welcome to Day 14, Miraculous Divinity. First, let’s just take a moment to acknowledge and appreciate ourselves. We’ve been doing this together now for two solid weeks and I hope you’re feeling as good, as inspired, and more deeply connected to yourself and those around you as I am. Over the last 7 days, we took the insight from week one and used it to begin to create miraculous relationships by practicing a generosity of spirit using our unique light that is within every one of us to attract that which you are, and simply being grateful for what is. We’ve developed a keen awareness of the power we all have to manifest more love in our lives. Today, we’re wrapping up week two by exploring the divinity that exists inside each and every one of us. How would our relationships change if we saw each other as spirits within a body? Pure spirits seeing beyond the illusion of these physical bodies? When we see the beauty and divinity in every one that we encounter, that’s when our relationships deepen and the bonds of our unions strengthen. You’ve heard Deepak close each one of our meditations with the Sanskrit word, Namaste. Today, he explains what it translates to and I think you’ll find it to be an exquisite life-giving way to greet each person who crosses our path. I was so moved by Namaste during my visit to India. By now, we’re old pros at this so get comfortable and away we go.”
Deepak: We have all experienced many different kinds of relationships. Some may be loving and intimate while others may have stalled or even self-destructed at the ego and personality level. Whether we are with a person for a lifetime or only a few minutes, the most fulfilling relationships unfold when we see with the eyes of spirit. This begins with seeing ourselves as we truly are, looking beyond the labels, titles and other temporary identities we take on, and seeing at our essence we are pure love, pure awareness and pure divine spirit.
Spirit is the real you, beyond all divisions of good and bad, desirable and undesirable, lovable and unlovable. While your personality or ego may suffer from limitations, weakness or unworthiness, your true self is established in peace and joy. Seeing yourself with the eyes of love makes it natural to see the divine spirit in every one you meet.
The Sanskrit word, Namaste which is commonly used as a greeting in India, means the spirit in me honors the spirit in you. Namaste is the recognition that we are all expressions of the same infinite divine spirit. We are soul first and person second. When we reverse the equation, relating first as persons, troubles are inevitable because at the personal level we have our own agendas, likes and dislikes. But when we relate to each other from the soul, we open the door to miracles. Instead of dividing ourselves into categories of us and them, we experience a common humanity.
As the poet Rumi writes so beautifully, ‘Out beyond ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.’ When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about ideas, language. Even the phrase each other doesn’t make any sense.
Today in our meditation, and as you go about the rest of your day, I invite you to honor the divine in you and in everyone you encounter. When feelings of judgment, fear or alienation arise, know that they come from your limited ego self and not who you really are. Gently release these limiting thoughts and center yourself in the truth of your authentic divine self. As you see through the eyes of love, everything unlike love will fall away, healing the perception of separation and opening you to the flow of life.
As we prepare to meditate, let’s consider our centering thought, ‘I see through the eyes of my soul’. ’ I see through the eyes of my soul.’
Let’s begin. Please find a comfortable position, placing your hands gently in your lap and closing your eyes. Just breathe naturally. With each inhalation and exhalation, relax into the present, inviting your body to release any tension it might be holding on to. Now gently introduce the mantra, So Hum, repeating it silently and allowing it to flow with effortless ease. So Hum means I am. So Hum. Now repeat it on your own, just mentally. Whenever you find yourself distracted by thoughts or noises around you, simply return your attention to silently repeating the mantra. So Hum. So Hum. Continue the meditation for about 6 minutes. So Hum.
[meditaion]
Release the mantra. Please bring your awareness back into your body. Take a moment to rest, inhaling and exhaling slowly and deeply. When you feel ready, gently open your eyes. As you continue with your day, carry the sense of inner quiet and expanded awareness with you, reminding yourself of today’s centering thought, ‘I see through the eyes of my soul’. ’I see through the eyes of my soul.’ ‘I see through the eyes of my soul.’
Namaste,
Journal Questions
1. Describe a time when you experienced and felt very connected to the shift from “I” to “we” in any one of your relationships. What did it feel like? How did you perceive this person? How did you communicate? What was it that made this connection different? Be detailed and specific—as you begin to recognize these qualities and feelings you will be able to cultivate this experience in your relationships with others.
2. Imagine what your life would be like if you greeted each person that crossed your path in sincere practice of Namaste . Visualize yourself clearly seeing the sacred miracle in every person you meet, no matter who they are. Take time to write about what you imagine this practice would feel like. What would change in your life? What holds you back from embodying this practice? Consider making an agreement with yourself to live this practice for one week and watch your life transform.
3. Ask yourself the question, “Who am I?” and write for ten minutes without stopping or censoring your responses. Allow yourself, even if you do not ordinarily do so, to write freely without worry about spelling, form, or censorship and see what happens!
4. Please reflect on today’s session in your journal
