Well well well. All of my hopes and expectations of acquiring a better body (please note I deliberately refrained from using the word ‘perfect’) are lying at the bottom of my frying pan. I’m afraid all of the god bothering requirement in Marianne Williamsons book just didn’t hit the mark for me. Probably because I [...]
Inhabit Your Body – Lesson # 9
Apparently I may be disassociated from my body. Don’t even know what that really means although I suspect it’s about taking responsibility for all of it and recognising all of it and not just the bit you like (my eyes).
But I have to write my history. Given that I [...]
Lesson #8 – Surrender to the Devine
I haven’t read this chapter yet. Before I do I want to record some thoughts that have occurred to me over the last fews days or so.
I have willingly (surprisingly) and happily done yoga several times since my last entry. I feel like I am getting a lot out [...]
Lesson # 7 – Love Your Body
Anoint (aka rub all over) myself with oil. An act of beautification ‘Ancient kings and queens did this and summoned grace, strength, power and beauty.’ That may be so but they were also evil buggers who sacrificed and enslaved their people. Mind you, maybe that’s ok if you look [...]
Lesson #5 – Begin a Love Affair with Food
This lesson says ‘buy stuff’. I’m supposed to go out and buy lovely dining stuff like a pretty napkin, beautiful cutlery, beautiful crockery etc just for me.
Bit of a stretch this one. Apart from the lack of funds for spending money on stuff I don’t need (I [...]
Chewing my way through this book but determined to finish it….
Lesson #3 – Build an Altar
To be honest I already had one and just added my books to it.
Lesson #4 – Invoke the Real You
There was a bit of meditation around replacing my mental image of myself. I’ve realised that since I started this course [...]
I’m a great believer in ‘working on myself’. Well my mind and spirit at least. Not necessarily my body. I’ve been overweight now for years and whilst I’ve never truly accepted it, there have been times when I’ve thought ‘fuck it, it’s just too much like hard work to fix and I work hard enough [...]
I have been doing a bit of work on myself. Unfortunately it isn’t the much needed cosmetic surgery kind of work. It’s the ‘inside my head’ kind of work.
From a session I did last week I have been given a bit of homework to write a letter to my future self. I need to talk [...]
It just gets better and better.
I had never intended this to be a political blog but I’m so incensed about our current governments antics I can’t help myself. At the moment any other topic that I might consider writing about pales into insignificance against the daily trotting out of gaffs, elitist decisions and general buffoonery [...]
…bloody Lord Young? What the holy mothering hell was that all about?
“…and for the vast majority of people in the country today, they have never had it so good…”
Seriously deluded, pickled in his own port, over privileged, fat cat, running off at the mouth, arrogant, ignorant, stupid old man.
I suggest we make him redundant, make him [...]
