OGT DAILY Day One Hundred and Seventy Seven SIMPLE THINGS

Like the number seven.   My favorite number.  I'm the seventh child.  It's my lucky number.  It's the days in the week.  It's the seventh month July - a happy sunny month of ease and exploration.

Today I'm remembering and enjoying simple pleasures.  Asparagus on a blue willow plate immediately evokes summer at my grandmother's house in Newport, Rhode Island, like Proust and his Madeleine moment.   Simple moments in conjunction with sensory experience can transport one to places in time, which can be healing or distressing depending on what they bring up in the body.  I worked with a student today doing a vocalization related to a constricted feeling around the belly and she was reminded of a yoga stretch which she then did releasing strain and pressure she'd been carrying at her job for days.

I had egg drop soup with my asparagus tonight; a beautiful lemon color.  

I was reminded from a quote by Abraham & Hicks today about the principle of seeking pleasurable feeling:

Be easy about this. Be playful about it. Don’t work so hard at it. Let your dominant intent to be to feel good, and if you don’t feel good, then let your dominant intent be to feel relief. Feel your way through it. If you think your way through it, you can get off on all kinds of tangents. If you feel your way through it, you can come quickly to your Core Energy, and when you do that only good can then flow to you.
