Issue number 21 Tuesday Talk 21 September 2004
Today is the
International Day of
Peace Vigil, a grassroots effort
to bring a "spiritual dimension" to the peace
process... commit to peace for 24 hours.
As I ponder life -
experiences I have lived and those shared by
others, I am enriched through empathy,
compassion, and vicarious journeys as well as by
my own steps through the days.
Another key event is the opening of the
National Museum of the American Indian - learn
more from
their living wisdom
at
www.nmai.si.edu.
And so, here we sprinkle the sand
in effort to enrich the flesh, the mind, the
psyche, the spirit and the soul... for beauty is
deep.
I wish you a day of peace...
everlasting,
Tamara

EXPERIENCE
Yesterday, it was
a rather hairy day during which I did not make time for me... My patience was
thin; I was tired and feeling out of sorts. I had
to dig deep to be civil to my family when all I wished
was for some solitude. Sometimes so hard to find.
Though not very well, I held on to my self till I could
retreat to my pillow, close my eyes and go to sleep -
that serene place to rest and regenerate. Upon
awakening, the world seemed much more delightful than it
had the day before, and I was better company to those
around me. So, the point is, my favorite beauty
product is sleep. It does wonders for the flesh,
the mind, the psyche, the spirit and the soul.
Nourish your self with adequate rest.
And, when rested, test
yourself for joy at
www.authentichappiness.org and measure your current
happiness among other determinations of contentment in
your life. Your results will be saved so you can
check progress in creating the life you desire.
Enjoy! and sweet dreams - day or night. |

OBSERVATION
Time is energy. Each moment is
potent, filled with enormous power. Each moment is an
opportunity, never neutral. By tapping the energy of
time, we conquer it. When we utilize and actualize the
energy of the moment, time becomes our ally, launching
us into another dimension. If we do not use the moment,
the moment “dies”, and like deadweight it contributes to
the erosion of our beings, as the clock of our lives
ticks down.
We have the power to
eternalize each moment in our lives. By filling it with
meaning and spirit, time doesn’t merely pass but rather
becomes a catalyst for achieving immortality.
My teacher reminds us to "Look
at your day. How many of its moments are just fleeting
specks lost in the shuffle of life. But then comes that
one moment – just one second that can turn into magic,
into an experience that lives on forever."

ADVICE
To keep the brain agile and
strong, challenge your mind with puzzles and games,
ponder new ideas, read, and learn something new.

TILT (This I Learned Today)
If you're feeling stressed or
a bit anxious, or if you just need a pick-me-up, try the
following breathing exercise; it can help bring energy
and clarity to your mind. The first time, do it for just
15 seconds, increasing the duration by five seconds
every time until you can complete one full minute.
Always breathe normally between exercises.
- Sit upright with your back
straight, eyes closed, and shoulders relaxed.
- Place the tip of your tongue
against the bony ridge behind and above your upper
teeth.
- Breathe rapidly through your
nose, in and out, with your mouth slightly closed.
- Keep your inhale and exhale
short and equal. Your chest should be almost mechanical
in its movements - rapid, like air is pumping through
it.
Inhale and exhale three times
per second, if you can, keeping your breath audible.
Ideally, you will feel the
muscular effects of this breathing exercise at the base
of your neck (just above the collarbone) and at the
diaphragm (by your tummy). Put your hands on these areas
to get a sense of the movements.
Breathing is the key to
releasing stress and re-energizing your body...so out
with the bad air...in with the good.
Inhale...Exhale...that's it... |

AND A COUPLE OTHER THINGS
The way one copes with
changes in appearance reflects one's sense of worth.
When we're happy, doing what we love, feeling creative
and fulfilled, appearance is at the bottom of our list
of concerns. Become an elegant role model unafraid to
celebrate the nuances that distinguish you, the
proportions, the curves or lack of them, the wrinkles,
silver hair - any hair color for that matter, or other
signs of character and individuality.
Meanwhile, celebrate your self and
nurture yourself with rest, contemplation, and the right
unguents to tantalize your flesh, engage your mind,
elevate your psyche, lift your spirit, stir your soul...
