- 0:00Speaker 2: I've seen all good people now.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Cool.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Good to be alive.
- 0:09Speaker 2: It's a wonderful day.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Every day is if we just evaluate it and not get caught up in some head space flowing around us and we join in.
- 0:20Speaker 2: This is the point of mindful meditation, to take control, to harness yourself as yoga calls for.
- 0:28Speaker 2: This is being here.
- 0:31Speaker 2: In this environment of being comfortable and calm, of being at ease and tranquil, of feeling a sense of harmony growing and grace.
- 0:43Speaker 2: How lucky we are to be alive.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Bundles of miracles, every one humbling to think of the vastness of creation.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Thankful is my middle name.
- 1:09Speaker 2: Virtues, affirmations, tools, which are directions of positivity we are finding ourselves involved with.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Why?
- 1:27Speaker 2: Because they work.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Because we are a reflection of our physicality, of what we consume our time with, what we develop, relationships with, habits, skills in by repetition, study, think, expand, learn.
- 1:54Speaker 2: It is all easily ascertainable today.
- 1:59Speaker 2: In these times we have a tradition already of thousands of years called the New Dawning of the Aquarian Age.
- 2:10Speaker 2: We need as a group, as individuals, as governments or organizations, as religious institutions, across all countries, across all kinds of peoples.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Being aware of our DNA, of what it means.
- 2:31Speaker 2: We are one family.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Yes, diverse and yet one family, every one mankind.
- 2:43Speaker 2: One's cousins in every place, in every culture, celebrating in every religion, where then is our sense of understanding and compassion?
- 2:57Speaker 2: Where then is our sense of being desirous to communicate and find cooperation, bring to light, compromise, allowing things, ideas, events to occur and be accomplished in little parts.
- 3:21Speaker 2: It is not in the flick of a switch or the blink of an eye, although it can be a goal.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Usually, goals are something that take time and energy to accomplish.
- 3:34Speaker 2: They take one's effort, one's focus, one's concentration, mindful meditation is this vehicle.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Accumulating enough tools to be able to keep a continuous, as much as one can, momentum.
- 3:57Speaker 2: You know the saying practice makes perfect.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Well, it may not make perfect, but it certainly makes improvement.
- 4:06Speaker 2: It is growing.
- 4:08Speaker 2: Appreciate beginnings over and over again.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Being here now is a tool to remember.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Remembering is a tool.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Somehow we bring a focus of our attention to the physicality, to the wonder we already know.
- 4:32Speaker 2: We are sharing.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Being here, mindful, as we breathe the clean air from the oceans, being aware how fortunate we are.
- 5:06Speaker 2: When there have already been five at least major extinctions upon this world where we live.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Five.
- 5:21Speaker 2: The last occurring sixty-six million years ago when an asteroid the size of Mount Everest hit the Yucatan Peninsula and obliterated the sun.
- 5:39Speaker 2: The rays of the sun were stymied with the dust, with the clouds, until it calmed down again.
- 5:48Speaker 2: The plants, the scavengers, all kinds, all sorts of life died.
- 5:56Speaker 2: That which relied upon the sun as a sense of a source of energy.
- 6:03Speaker 2: And so seventy-five, eighty, eighty-five, ninety percent of life lost in each of these extinctions, five of them, knowing where we are.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Bundles of miracles.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Accepting your DNA for what it is.
- 6:29Speaker 2: You're born in one cell.
- 6:32Speaker 2: One.
- 6:34Speaker 2: When one is given birth by one's mother, you already are a trillion cells in size.
- 6:43Speaker 2: From one to a thousand to a million, to a hundred million, to five hundred million, to a billion, to five billion, to twenty billion, to fifty billion, to a hundred billion cells, all the way to a trillion cells when one is born.
- 7:07Speaker 2: What does this mean?
- 7:11Speaker 2: Thinking about this when we call ourselves a bundle of miracles, because this is what we mean.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Humbled by the immensity just inside of ourselves when we are born with a trillion cells.
- 7:39Speaker 2: It's already, right?
- 7:41Speaker 2: Now, as an adult, thirty trillion cells is the norm.
- 7:47Speaker 2: And then beyond the end of one's own nose, look at your nose.
- 7:53Speaker 2: You see two images?
- 7:55Speaker 2: Because you have two cerebrum.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Either eye is being monitored in real time.
- 8:00Speaker 2: And then the focal point is joined together.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Beyond one's nose, what are we seeing?
- 8:09Speaker 2: Exercise one's eyes.
- 8:12Speaker 2: But what are we seeing?
- 8:14Speaker 2: The whole universe.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Maybe trillions of galaxies, and certainly trillions of suns.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Trillions of suns like our own, each one unique, each one encircled by planets, not most likely so different than our own.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Some, a few, in one solar system or another, of the trillions of solar systems we are aware of, in a sense have found.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Don't you think there's going to be a good possibility?
- 9:04Speaker 2: What's occurred in this solar system right here has / will occur in other solar systems too.
- 9:17Speaker 2: Common sense, right?
- 9:22Speaker 2: Thinking about one's physiology, one's breathing.
- 9:27Speaker 2: It is a tool.
- 9:28Speaker 2: One's chest heaving up and down.
- 9:33Speaker 2: Thinking about one's heart pulsing.
- 9:37Speaker 2: One's heart squeezes blood through your body, picking up oxygen in the lungs, dropping carbon dioxide off in the lungs.
- 9:51Speaker 2: So we can be receiving our next load of oxygen.
- 9:56Speaker 2: It is a constant process.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Again and again and again.
- 10:01Speaker 2: Ninety, I heard yesterday a hundred thousand times a day.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Dr.
- 10:07Speaker 2: Oz.
- 10:07Speaker 2: Individuality again.
- 10:09Speaker 2: It depends on your DNA and your level of exercise and all the environmental and physiological factors of you, of your own unique being.
- 10:22Speaker 2: Being aware of these different capacities and processes of our human natures, we become focused.
- 10:30Speaker 2: We allow other thoughts to dissipate and to fade.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Better yet, we are more concentrating on what's important, which is finding our foundation, finding our heart and our souls.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Words signify the depth of one's being to our own very nature, striving for more.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Being aware.
- 11:05Speaker 2: It is here.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Being here now, bundles of miracles, humble, thankful.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Again and again and again.
- 11:17Speaker 2: The music continues for another minute.
- 11:22Speaker: Thinking about these things, thinking about one's own sacred nature, in awe, how lucky we are, your majesty.
