DEAR HOLY SPIRIT…

My dear Holy Spirit, I’ve been calling you last couple of weeks but you never picked it up! As a matter of fact, why should you? The only thing you would hear is me complaining about almost everything! I know I lost control with work and all my obligations, but now it is time to do some bonding!

MUDRAS AND STATEMENTS

In your quest, I heard during a presentation about the mudra of energy. It is a gesture in yoga, which you can achieve by uniting the thumb with the fourth finger to connect directly with you. I imagined it is something like stretching my antennas to catch the cosmic energy and fill up my batteries. During the same presentation, I’ve been given a card with a positive statement -a practice that I had first read in my favorite book of Louise Hay «The power is within you” -. My card had to do with the energy and my healthy myself. What a wicked coincidence ha?

TECH-MED

I figured out that to let you cleanse my mind  from unnecessary and uncontrolled thoughts, I need to learn to meditate. I have tried to in the past, but in vain. Once I learned there are several meditation applications for my i-phone, I felt I had a second chance. It turns out that the super gadget of our times, is a spiritual friend too! I found already two of the best free on the market. Headspace is the one and guided meditations of the Silva Method is the other. The first day I tried to meditate, guess what happened: I fell asleep? Don’t get me wrong, It wasn’t your fault, I was just too tired.

SUN SALUTATIONS

In yoga I always salute you with excitement, even if the yoga studio is a basement. These exercises are called sun salutations and I practiced them on Sunday, with incredible views of the Saronic sea and my friends in madness friends, Julia and Angela. We also did the tree position, standing still in one leg balance, as if weren’t quite zombies yet at the eyes of our children and men!

THE UNCTION

To exorcise the evil, and I decided to make a homemade scrub from top to bottom. Do not laugh! Together with my dead cells, I can wash away my demons! I clean all dirt in the most pure and simple way: olive oil and white sugar for the body and olive oil with Greek coffee for the face. With all that rubbing, I excecute my personal unction, and after that I glow like the sun!

TAO INSPIRED

Taoists call you Tao and you mean a road with no track. I read it in the book of a great guru, Osho. He said that I can actually experience your presence by letting lose in life like floating on a river. Free from expectations or fears, free from my ego and the material world, only then I can become one with you. Inspired by those words, as I was, I floated on the calm waters of a swimming pool. I had nowhere to go, but I came to meet you, and you gave me a smile on my face,  that I will  make sure to keep it for a while.
