Sushi Zume Tokyo

Flicking back through my draft box I found a few older pieces of writing I had started and never finished. Here is the beginning of something that I started to write during the first week of 2009…

A few weeks ago when the weather wasn’t so tasty and I had some big things to take care of in terms of decision making and pre year end juiciness Masao sat me down and switched on The Secret. In the beginning due to the slightly stubborn mind set I was holding onto that day, I was thinking, “Yeah, yeah seen it all before, watched this a million times so what?!” Then I was reminded of Abraham as I listened to him through Esther Hicks. Oh Abraham how you make me tingle. The words, thoughts and reminders have been really powerful this time round, Masao and I have been working with daily meditation both in the morning and evening. It is really great to have a meditation partner that you feel really comfortable discussing the sensations that have been coming through. Our new ritual is a simple one, 30 mins upon waking and 30 mins before sleep. A five minute stretch and smile (did you know that smiling sends messages to your brain that you are happy! Try it! Works every time!) followed by a 15 minute still breath meditation (I will write another time about our focuses) and then a 10 minute writing meditation ( I have filled books already with the clear flow of words that have been coming out. I highly recommend writing meditations) Falling still each morning and night does wonders for the rest of the day or sleep time.

Try it I bet you will love it!

Fast forward to last night as we were falling asleep, Masao said to me, “We are so lucky we have the same interests.” I responded with, “What? Hooping and eating?” He said, “Yes and being positive!” My mind crackled a little and I zoomed to the thought that I am not always so positive about everything, that boiled a few thoughts around in my head and I drifted off to sleep dreaming of camping and hooping and lots of friends.

Waking up naturally this morning, a very important practice for me, I clicked back onto my pre-sleep thoughts. Stretching and breathing, dreaming and thinking all at once I felt light and relaxed with a feeling of gratitude for all of the adventures in my life. I wondered what life would be like, a very common thought, if I truly were positive all of the time. If I caught my ego and zipped it’s lips everytime it wanted to complain about something. If all my thoughts, adventures and ideas were from a love soaked garden bed and offered up with the purest forms of positivity. What if all my fears dissolved, if I lived in flow 100%. I wondered who I knew that lived entirely like this. I know, like many of us, on an intellectual level how the universe works but do I fully and wholly appreciate it on an emotional level? I released the thought that all things need to be perfect all of the time in order for them to be “right” and “real”. So my thoughts turned to love and the parts of life that I am so very grateful for.

<3 I love learning. This thirst has opened up new circles for me. Sharing newness with friends around me has opened my eyes in so many new ways, moves and ideas I was unaware of. I am so excited to go to the zatsugidan group tonight, I am aware of my child like excitment about being around others with a love for free flowing movement. I am grateful for the evolution of my friends in the hoop circle, I no longer feel the teacher student relationship that had plagued me, we are all students of life and movement. This I love! I love stumbling into ecstatic dance moves and finding a Nia teacher right here in Tokyo, very close to my home. I love that I ride my pink bike along the river to the Yoga Studio in Ogikubo. I love ashtanga instruction and guidance in another language, Japanese, I feel so gifted with the opportunity to learn a physical and verbal language at the same time. I love my strength, flexibility and sensations created by such intense physical practice. I love giving time to my hoop practice daily, watching my growth, enjoying movement and new form.

<3 I love the changing of the seasons and how I have physically responded. I love watching my body’s reaction to emotion and change.

<3 I love connecting and sharing with others who see light and love in what they do, they understand the laws of the universe and they rejoice in them. I am grateful to be in their lives, it is so wonderful that we have attrcted each other. I enjoy the flow, the love and the open sharing of gifts.

<3 I love the evolution of my partnership with hoops and the adventures that has manifested. Clear flow, endless growth, increased awareness, abundance and joy come into all interactions. I love making plans to chase the sun with hoops by my side. I love how my life dreams easily unfold.

<3 I love making plans with Masao for huge change in all areas of our life. I love how together we can quickly and easily manifest greatness. I love sharing ideas and seeing them blossom almost instantly.
