    Unclogging the Brain Drain

    Wednesday, June 4, 2008, 08:22 PM EST [General]

    It was pointed out to me recently and I have come to realize this is true that I am brain drained. what i mean is that i have gotten so wrapped into the day to day, the mundane and trivial that I lost sight of the art of conversation. the interruptions of the day ..the background of the world just overran the cerebral mind.
    I have been over the past day or so recharging the mental, spiritual, emotional batteries, nature cleanses me, heals me and calms my mind ...I have not taken the time or the energy to recharge myself in a LONG time and it manifested itself in ways that were not pretty to say the least.

    But a dose of reality made me realize i need to get balanced again. I'm doing that again. I wish it hadn't come to critical mass before reality sunk in but that is neither here nor there. What matters is the present and that is what i have to deal with.

    clearing ones head, absorbing all the Gaia has to offer makes the thoughts clearer, the reason process and the spirituality of the soul get back in tune.

    I should have realized it when i was feeling 'blocked" on doing my art that something was amiss.

    But since that moment ..as i open my heart and soul to the world, LISTEN to the sounds of Gaia and SEE her beauty all around me i get a sense of peace. To smell the freshness of the open air after the storms to feel the wetness of the dew on your feet. If you can find a spot ..away from the sounds of civilization and listen and see the birds, squirrels, rabbits or whatever is living nearby you and actually WATCH how they interact and talk ...Now there my friends is peace. Once you find that then your brain starts working right. well at least mine does. it is nice being able to THINK real thoughts and not just the mundane . It is nice to want to explore and share ideas thoughts dreams and all again.
    My best friend said today that it is nice to hear me expressing my true thoughts and impressions again as i rarely did before when she needed it. You have NO IDEA how happy I am to be able to again express them. It is uplifting to me to be on my way to whole again. It is nice to find my thought process ...to think, to dream to envision to create...I didn't realize how much i missed my drawing till she asked me to work on a piece, (that point was my first step in realizing I was mentally blocked ..later events proved it) and not just dwell in the everyday. I also didn't realize how much i missed the intellectual banter..it is good for the heart and soul as it nourishes both the feeds the mental and spiritual nature of our being.

    anyway, Ciao, have a good night

    In love and light,
    Jas

    There's my J! I knew he was in there somewhere :P
    What you describe is balance, dear one... not too much head, not too much heart, not too much hand. It's what I strive for daily... I often fall short, btw! But just remembering that you require it... what a fabulous affirmation!!!
    Blessings and love... xxx ooo
