Process of PEACE

The Dalai Lama once asked me (and a few hundred other peeps) a question:   How can we have peace in the world when we do not have peace within ourselves? within our families?

Peace within myself   -  back then, with my full time work as a paralegal and extra eighty pounds on my body and my plan to be rich and retired - I had no idea what the Dalai Lama was saying.   

I had a vague concept of Peace but no healthy hahabits to get me there. I heard about Laughter Yoga and that resonated with me.  A way to get out of my head and into my body.  An opportunity to grow a muscle that would help shift my attitude.  A space of silence and meditation where joy can grow.  Sign me up!!!

Over the last seven years - as my muscles get toned and strengthened, I can  find the HAHA in everything. I feel the levity in my situations and a smile easily finds my lips.

The eighty pounds have left along with meat, milk, cheese and grain - side effects of finding HAHAhappy and not having to stuff my face with food.

The process of Peace involves looking within and around.  Finding the feelings and laughing and crying about them and through them.  Accessing the Excess and releasing and purging what no longer serves me.   And shaHAhaking it out - releasing what no longer belongs and keeping everything within fluid and flexible.

Slowly, I see progress with the process.   I feel the Peace in my heart expand and express itself in the Universe in a chaHAharming way.

ShaHAhakti shaHAhake and get that Feminine Cosmic Energy dancing and laughing - doing a little AbunDANCE and bringing blessings your way.

Here's a musical message about ShaHAhaking and finding haHAhappy from the ultimate Dancing Goddess, Doris Day.   

Sister Goddess Shash

Sister Goddess Shash led our circle today.
She had us LAUGHing. Ha ha ha
She is OMazing ~@~

We gibberished anger we laughed forgiveness.
Ha ha ha.

We became washing machines - shake, shake, shaking;
we scrubbed our clothes on the washboards while gibberishing
with our tribe members.

We moved out of our heads and into our bodies.
Ha ha ha.

Breathing and LAUGHing, Enjoying

the canopy of trees shielding us and the cool breeze blowing through.

Woo Hoo~@~

We even had a Doggess-Goddess named Princess
who barked at her favorite LAUGHTER techniques
and entered our Healing Circle, grounding our enerCHIs.

Some OMazing emotional releases as we shook it all about.

Very creative teamwork between Sister Goddess Shash &
Sister Goddess Lourdes, woo hoo - wahe guru
two OMazing Giggling Goddesses newly certified Laughter Yoga Leaders.

They passed the ball back and forth

Keeping the rhythm and the rhyme
to our HO HOs HA HA HAs
Creating a nice flow - a communication vibration

A great big WOOHOO to Sister Goddess Shash who graduated this weekend -
felt the fear of leading her first circle and did it anyways

TENACITY - a SuperPower Laughter gift (thanks WSM Dark Levity Ed).

Woohoo ~@~

Spring is in the Air ???

I was so wishing it would start warming up today.

Walking with GingerMama in 55 degree weather in South Florida kind of boggles the mind. Mixes up the body pretty good too.

My OMazing Sister Goddess Christina was here with Wee Grace at 7:30 a.m., bright eyed and ready to walk through the park and sing to the trees with me.

We have a Walk and Talk before Laughter Yoga - it gets my motor humming and my ears tuned.

Today, I wore my 4th of July Pants and my Bicycle Therapy shirt. It's almost as if I am prodding the Universe to hurry up and warm us up.

I am still feeling a little queasy as my core muscles and organs shrink back into place. I took off my shoes - the ground is warm and healing - I feel grounded and at peace although my rollercoaster has not stopped. Tee hee ~@~

As we created our Circle and held hands and OM'd together, the Universe left us a gift. As we opened our eyes and saw each other smiling - we noticed a white feather in the center of our circle - an opportunity to set intentions of peace and love and healing.

All is well in the world today.

What a blessing to BE and LAUGH.

What groovy vibes we choose to create.

Woo hoo~!~

And the yummy ripples they create.

Tee hee ~@~

Thank you Mama Earth for the healing & love you provide.

Adventure 1/23/10

A great big THANK YOU and NAMASTE to Sister Goddess Marissa of Parks & Recreation for the City of Doral. This amazing Goddess runs all sorts of cool programs for kids. She invited us to participate in a Teacher Planning Day camp. On the days that teachers plan and kids are sent home, the City provides a day camp alternative for working parents. SG Marissa had all sorts of fun activities for the 54 kids enrolled. She hires yoga teachers and martial arts instructors and jazzercise pros to immerse the kids in new activities.

WSM Noah and I were blessed to LAUGH as penguins and monkeys might. Surrounded by 54 little Peeps we roared like lions and shook it all out. Ranging in age from ages 5 to 11, these little souls were OMazing. We were immersed in the moment as we HO HA HA HA'd. We spoke gibberish and sent ALOHA love to the world. We created so much yummy energy that day.

My hair got touched, twirled, stroked and braided. I got high fives and low fives and heads on my belly LAUGHter. So much LOVE. WSM Noah and I left there with warm hearts and happy spirits - oxytocin pumping and bodies purring with feel good hormones.

Children and LAUGHter - what a potent combination. What a great way to unleash PEACE on this Planet.

Thank you SG Marissa for BEing a peacemaking, trendsetting, creatrix of adventure.
