Mentioned in the last post about attaining desires not assuring happiness – to that affect, apparently there’s a reference by St Teresa of Avila about the unhappiness caused by wishes being granted… as in this proverb my former co-worker often used –\u00a0\u00a0“Be careful what you wish for”…<\/p>\n

I might have mentioned something about my take on prayers vs. mantras… No one taught me that but I feel it so in my heart. Hope I did not offend anyone into religion. It’s all good.<\/p>\n

“We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified”<\/span><\/p>\n

– Aesop (c. 550 BC)<\/span><\/p>\n

“When the gods wish to punish us they answer our prayers”<\/span><\/p>\n

– Oscar Wilde in An Ideal Husband (1895)<\/span><\/p>\n

“Granting our wish one of fate’s saddest jokes is.”<\/span><\/p>\n

– James Russell Lowell<\/span><\/p>\n

*********************<\/p>\n

Jean and Brenna taught me “Maha Mrityunjaya” mantra and to quote them – \u00a0“The vibration of the Mantra empowers us to overcome all obstacles while empowering the healer- within.” \u00a0Thank you for your teachings Jean and Brenna:) \u00a0Over time,\u00a0108 times<\/a> recited and it’s sinking in:) \u00a0Things take a little more time for me as with all fermented nourishment…(does wine count as fermented nutrient ?) \u00a0 Flow-yin (not throw-in:) \u00a0practice whenever possible, daily restorative\/meditation… what a healing and energizing balance. This formula works for me; but we are all different; your formula may be completely different and that’s what you find out during your restorative practice through reflection; introspection and meditation – what equation works and what doesn’t – what we should keep trying and strive for; what we should simply drop when it does not serve us. To know that distinction. \u00a0Taking a little time-out for self-care… we all deserve it.<\/p>\n
