Dear Beloved Self, I love how YOU guide me constantly. You bring forth knowledge and wisdom in abundance in so many many ways. Your Love expresses Itself constantly and spontaneously. My only job is to stay awake and keep remembering my Authentic and True Self.
In keeping with your constant love, I received a wonderful mail yesterday from Gary Zukav talking about creating AUTHENTIC POWER. I loved it. I loved it because it was something I was looking for but did'nt know exactly what I was looking for if you know what I mean. Thank You.
In my present role as primary caretaker I find myself being constantly challenged and every time I create a little joy, the feeling settles down like gold dust not only on me, but on everyone else as well at home. The same happens when I give into impatience and irritation. With joy, however, more love and understanding is created. Yes, created!! We are creators!! I never understood what this meant spiritually. Every time I read a profound spiritual message about the fact that we are creators, I found myself hard to understand this because in my small limited, worldly and material mind I thought only those who were famous for inventing 'something' which got world attention are 'creators'!! Well, the good news is that I have come a long way since then. I AM A CREATOR!! period. What do I create? I create what I want in my life knowingly or unknowingly through the thoughts I hold in my mind. When I finally got that bit, there was a mind explosion within me!! I got it!!
Since then, the spiritual world opened up to me in a new way and began bringing to my attention all the ways I can create a better world for myself. I Am already created perfect. I have to REMEMBER that constantly. Now, I have to uncreate the versions of me, those parts of me that bring fear into my life. Like the Yoga Asanas, I have to stretch and breathe and feel which part of me needs healing and stretching and loving and smiling. I noticed my world was filled with people and circumstances that my mind drew to me. The quality all depended on the quality of my thoughts. We have to constantly PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!! What we do now will reflect in our golden years or at the time of a serious crises. How we see our pain and deal with it will show up in times of health and other crises. How we approach healing all depends on the continuum of our thoughts. Thoughts are prayers. Prayers are always granted. The quality of our thoughts determines the quality of our prayer requests/gratitude, etc. God created me with a Thought. I Am a Thought of God!
Gary Zukav, author of "The Seat of the Soul" says :
"Creating authentic power requires stretching yourself. It can be no other way. Authentic power is the ability to speak and act with love no matter what is happening inside you and no matter what is happening outside you. Frightened parts of your personality speak and act in fear. If they are not challenged, your life remain unchanged - still angry, jealous, dissatisfied. When you challenge them - when you choose not to act on them when rage roars through you, jealousy eats at you, thoughts of vengeance will not leave you, or sex, alcohol, food, pornography, or gambling magnetically attract you - your life changes. This is the stretch that changes you. It is the act of creating authentic power - the moment of consciously moving beyond the control of your fear. Doing this repeatedly creates authentic power. You stretch yourself again and again, and eventually the control of the frightened parts of your personality over you diminishes. Then it disappears. Experiences of fear - anger, jealousy, despair, rage - may return, but they do not affect you as deeply. They run off you, so to speak, like water off the feathers of a duck.

As you create authentic power your life fills with purpose
and meaning. You begin to give the gifts that you were born to give,
the gifts that you cannot give while fear controls your deeds and words.
Your commitment to spiritual growth and courage to experience your fears
consciously enable you to stretch yourself beyond them, and stretching yourself
beyond the control of your fears allows joy and fulfillment. That's the
way it works."
Right now I am into True Yoga. I am learning the Yoga of the Heart. I am stretching and stretching and stretching. I am seeing the gifts in all my negative emotions and the merits in the positive ones. I am stretching and learning new ways. Only Love is Real. This is the only Thought that matters because this is the guiding force behind creating authentic power within me.
With Love and only Love.

When we begin to understand the co-relation between yoga asanas and our own thoughts, words and action and become masters of our minds, we will have no need to practice the physical aspect of yoga because our very breaths will become super-conscious breathing and we will begin to follow the Way of the Heart effortlessly.
