first aid

i have tried a couple times to write about the california fires but i have no words for it. wifey was evacuated from del mar, cousin alice had to leave fallbrook (take the brownie recipe and run!), and big jeanne cant leave her home without a serious asthma/sinus attack from the smoke in the air. the los angeles area has been host to natural wild fires since before there were people here to lose their homes... and the fires will probably be here long after people are gone. if we are going to live in a place where nature is sometimes inhospitable, we will need to find some kind of peaceful relationship with nature to appreciate the occasional inhospitality. even the best friend is sometimes cranky. there are native plants that only germinate and flower after a fire. hopefully there will be a flowering after this disater. blesstheworld.com always sends the blessthebody.com spiritual remedy first aid to disaster sites to help those in need. how do you help the hundreds of thousands of people directly affected by the fires? you start with what is right in front of you. what i can do is this: every person who shows up to sunday evening meditation class at the blessings center los angeles this week will recieve a free bottle of first aid for himself and another to give to someone affected by the fires. come, meditate, heal.

save yourself

yesterday at the seventh day adventist vegan restaurant the romanian woman who cooks guessed my age as 28. i told her she was right. she said she knew it was true because she had a son who was 28 so she saw what that looked like everyday. she also said i was calm. with the recent full moon and eclipses and retrograde planets going direct, nobody seems calm. my students and clients have been downright crazy. maybe its a lifetime of meditation (i have clients who have been with me for years and still cant find their way to a class); maybe its my diet (if you dont eat things with an asshole, maybe you wont be one); maybe its my spiritual healing work (which has saved my life and others on many ocassions) ~ but i always hear from people about the calmness around me (people dont comment as much specifically about youthfulness because they just assume im young). so heres my philosophy: if you want your life to change, change yourself. if you want to be calmer, younger, brighter DO SOMETHING about it. if you are crazy, read my book eating God. if you arent crazy, read my book eating God. if you want to improve yourself in any way, read my book eating God. if your body doesnt feel right, change your diet and exercise patterns (eat something green for godssake, do a little yoga) ~ these pertain to the body. if your mind doesnt feel right, get into a meditation class (or play chess or do crosswords) ~ these pertain to the mind. if your life doesnt feel right, work on releasing your karma (through spiritual remedies and healing work, meditation, feng shui, etc etc etc) ~ this pertains to your life. this pertains more to your life than anything else. this is the purpose of your life. start now. today. its never too late to be fabulous. its never too late to be 28!

war what is it good for?

last night i went to the blessings center early and posted my peace posters inside and out ~ even vandalizing the group of no parking signs in front. yoga class was meditative and at the end we lit candles and placed them along the walkway. there was food after and we all had a pleasant evening. commemorating disaster and death doesnt have to be morbid. what did you do to remember september 11th? this morning i read that russia tested the largest non-nuclear bomb in existence ~ four times stronger than what we have. i imagine that means we will manufacture four times as many of ours. war is good for business. the spokesperson for the russian military said: "unlike a nuclear weapon, this bomb doesnt hurt the environment." im so glad they are thinking of the planet as they plan to bomb the hell out of us! people are expendable but we only have one earth. the new report regarding the war in iraq states that shock waves from bombs dislodge the brain in its cradle even if there is no wound. thousands and thousands of soldiers go undiagnosed and exhibit serious memory loss, confusion, and inability to cogitate. shaken baby syndrome. this is like someone who has been in the boxing ring too long, someone who doesnt know when to quit. well america has been in the boxing ring too long ~ bring our babies home! it seems that georgie bush has never been able to cogitate ~ but he cant use as an excuse the shock waves of a bomb. nevertheless dont you just want to take him by the shoulders and give him a good shake?

good luck with that!

meditation class yesterday was so amazing ~ we did exercises to release the karma of past loves ~ that several people got sick! one almost fainted, one threw up, another couple had panic attacks, and others were generally dizzy and/or unwell. really a great class. and wifey didnt speak for a day ~ a miracle in itself! and you wonder why people are afraid to come to meditation class ~ they are afraid something will happen!!! next week class will be in my garden, the following week there is no class as i will be in the bay area. if you arent in a meditation class somewhere you are living in your own shit!

buried treasure

my daughter hadley wanted to go fishing sunday morning. she was excited about it but was worried about me ~ she told her mother i might not want to go because i was vegetarian. she then told her mother if she caught a fish she would throw it back and her mother was to tell me that. at six years old she already understands the concept of non-violence. it ended up she only caught seaweed. but the bakelite jewelry i brought for her from my trip had fish on it so she did end up catching something! after fishing and a little play on the beach, we went to see their new house in san pedro. they are moving from a view of a parkinglot to a full frontal view of the ocean with eucalyptus trees and cliffs, from rags to riches! it is a fixer-upper that will be inprocess for awhile but it is also a mansion on the beach. im so happy for them. i had read about the two guys in england who found a buried viking treasure. it was over a thousand years old, only a foot beneath the surface of the ground, and in a farmers field (a place that had been dug for centuries). how close are we all to treasures? in meditation class, we did exercises for bringing in the treasures that are right before our eyes yet we miss them. i am finding them every second!

summer solstice newsletter

my webmistress miriam and i got the newsletter out this morning. about summer solstice, meditating, health... my spiritual remedies and some basic feng shiu treatments. i meditated last night and this morning ~ what i teach in class instead of my regular delusion! and now after an onion sandwich i am working on a button painting. very beautiful but i keep burning my fingers with the glue gun. of course i could burn them with my tongue much worse.
