Random thoughts..

Random thoughts while walking...
- About magic: It is a joke to think that one person have the power to "dominate" the nature (dominating the nature, would be like.. dominating God). But, I do think that one person can influence the "flow" of nature. In other words, If God is a river, you will not and can not make a dam and modify its course, but you can, humbly, take a small woodstick and draw a small line, and a few drops of the river will flow by that channel

- Another thing I've been thinking, but its hard to explain. you can't adore "God" we.. can't understand God. so we divide it, Christians don't worship God, but Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Virgin . Wiccans worship the Father and the Mother, even Jews meditate about the Ten Aspects of the God.
We need to pray to something more.. human, more like us. God is..so everything, that, why he would help us to accomplish our everyday tasks? No,
That's why we pray on angels, and virgins, Gods and Godesses...

at the end, they are all the same. everything is God, there is a bit of truth in every single religion :-)

I guess next time I'll be talking about the will and the ritual and why do I consider this to be of *extreme* importance

meditating

In a gigantic effort for keeping my blog alive, I'll post what I've been up to this last couple of days.

I'm trying to meditate a bit. I'll start by saying that my mind just won't shut up. is constantly bla bla bla, this that, having great ideas too, which I am not complaining of course but..
Sometimes is just too much!
So after seeing a thread in my lovely LHC community I decided I should try meditation.
Of course, immediately my head started rambling and preparing a huge meditation ritual and this and that, and trying to combine everything that I had read but I told myself "shhhh!" and decided to start simple.
Just put my times for 3 minutes (in silence because I didn't wanted to be scared lol) and... focusing on my breathing.
I've been doing this for a couple of days. I won't say that I am getting good or something, I'm just focusing in thinking "breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out" and have caught myself mind wandering but that's ok I guess.
Like most of my obsessions, I hope I can stick up with this for some time and get really good at it. Sometimes I have troubles living in the present and just feeling with my body and my guts, they feel somewhat disconnected. Hopefully this exercises will help me build up again a good strong connection between both :-)

Oh, and about the LBRP I talked about in the other post, I like it, is a way of praying. Is not that hard and if you do it often you won't feel as clumsy as I did while reading the instructions and performing the ritual :-$. What can I say, I am a woman of habits and rutine. I love having something to do all days at a specific time, and having everything organized

PS. I'll get my TOEFL grades this friday!! So nervous! wish me luck ;-)
