The thought came to me this morning that if I had listened to my Mind this past year I would not have experienced:
1. Writing a blog and being able to express myself from the deepest and most sacred part of myself.
2. Releasing the pain in my left leg that I had for months by staying with it doing Bikram Yoga.
3. Volunteered to be a Server at my second 10 day Vipassana Course.
4. Making it through a sales presentation to my peers at a national sales meeting and facing my darkest self.
5. Spending time alone during this holiday season and not feeling "blue" as in past years.
6. Read most of the books available on Ramana Maharishi and Nisargadatta.
7. Painted "Sunflower" that now makes this living space so inviting.
8. Realized how lucky I really am to have both Bikram yoga and Vipassana Meditation to peel back the layers of dysfunction in my body and Mind.
9. What a awesome dog I have in my life.
10. The job I have that has allowed me the time and space necessary to start the healing process.
My Mind would have had me living in the smallest and darkest place in myself and missing out on the above based on fear and mental illness.
I feel so grateful.
