Summary
In today’s episode, you learn a practice that will help you abide in Love as you cross the bridge from your old life into a new one. Same Love, new Life
Today's Quote:
"Be fully aware of your own being and you will be in Bliss consciously. Because you take your mind off yourself and make it dwell on what you are not, you lose your sense of well-being."
-Nisargadatta Maharaj
Today's Practice:
Select a song from the list below (or a song choice of your own without words, that is uplifting), and find a room where you can be alone.
1. Press play (headphones are preferable)
2. Stand in the middle of the room, fold your hands in front of you (Namaskar), bow ever so slightly, and close your eyes (if you can safely-- ensure you have enough room). Using that body as an antenna for the Divine, you will automatically become aware of Love. It's a humbling posture.
3. Take slow, little steps, while repeating your inner 'thank yous', opening your eyes on occasion to check where you are in the room, so that you don't bump into anything. I take baby steps in little circles, very slowly.
4. Practice Love during the entire song, feeling Go(o)d in every step. Try to stay aware of Love for the WHOLE song. And when thoughts come, let them go and return to the 'thank you' mantra, the beautiful music, and the Love. Repeat the song at least once, if you have time!
IMPORTANT: Let each step be taken in the feeling, the energy or vibration of Love. Do as Thich Naht Hanh says and KISS THE FLOOR with each and every step. You'll know you're doing it right if you are smiling! Let the music point you back to your inner smile, to the Love inside, to the Love that you are. Imagine each step is one taken across the bridge from your old life to your new one. New life, same Love.
My favorite is first, but I love them all!

| 0:00.0 | Good morning. |
| 0:25.3 | Good morning to you. This is my third morning in a row of getting up before five o'clock. |
| 0:34.5 | I had to up that Annie on my morning routine because I've added a few things. I told my mom |
| 0:42.5 | like pretty soon I'm not going to be sleeping at all because I go to bed late and I'm working |
| 0:46.2 | on that and getting up earlier and earlier and earlier and earlier. But I feel really |
| 0:51.2 | good today. Oh God. Right now I'm feeling good. These words are coming and I thought of |
| 0:58.7 | a beautiful quote to share. It's from Nisar Gadda to Maharaj. If you don't have the book |
| 1:04.9 | I am that you should give that. It's essential. If you enjoy what I share every day, a lot |
| 1:12.4 | of it came from the seeds that book planted in me in 2013. Nisar Gadda to Maharaj is I |
| 1:19.3 | am that. This quote is be fully aware of your own being and you will be in bliss consciously. |
| 1:30.6 | Because you take your mind off yourself and make it dwell on what you are not, you lose |
| 1:36.2 | your sense of well-being. Because you take your mind off yourself, meaning off of love |
| 1:43.5 | and make it dwell on what you are not, that body and all its problems. You lose your |
| 1:49.6 | sense of well-being. So he's basically just saying stay aware of the I am. Stay aware |
| 1:57.1 | of love. Stay aware as love and you'll be happy 24 seven. Not humanly happy. A happiness |
| 2:05.6 | that transcends what you think of as happy because this happy is not tied to anything material. |
| 2:12.4 | It's not tied to anything that can rust or die or leave. It's just happy for no reason. |
| 2:21.9 | It's your true being. It's love. And so today's practice is one that carried me, I believe, |
| 2:31.2 | from what was my then present reality. It was my dark night of the soul in 2018. It carried |
| 2:39.5 | me from there. It was a bridge to a life that better reflected what I found inside, what |
| 2:47.3 | I have found myself to be. And I've shared versions of it before, but I've never shared |
| 2:53.8 | it this way. And I hope, no, I know you're going to try this today. You will make time |
