I am so much joy and gratitude this morning. I am doing excellent! The title of this blog post was inspired by a truncated message on the back of a bus as I gazed out the window from the classroom at yesterday's "Clearing to Manifest for 2007" seminar in Niagara Falls. I was like, "Hmm, now that's an exciting oracle!" Indeed, the 2 day seminar with Bijan served its purpose enabling me to clear negative belief systems and thus raise my vibration. I really am beginning to know what it means to be high on life! I could feel my shoulder ache all day yesterday and at one point there was a burning sensation. I affirmed that it was simply healing as I released whatever belief I had been carrying that caused the injury in the first place. This morning there is no pain or even the slightest discomfort. I also thank Tara for a most gratifying massage, which really set the tone for the ensuing 36 hours of peace and joy!

It was so powerful to sit and laugh for hours while Bijan fielded questions from the group of about 60 people. He shared many anecdotes which served to buttress the focus of his teachings on effortless health, prosperity and relationships. The man has an incredible sense of humor, which is really an excellent tool for assisting people in opening up to release the negative belief systems that keep them from truly enjoying the gift of life. It's not so much the information mind you, rather it is the feeling or vibration that he sustains. As he calls it "above the line." Remaining in such a space of peace and joy invariably empowers others to slough off layers of karmic non-sense and naturally ascend into higher states of consciousness. The ego has a way of keeping us "below the line" if we give our power away to it. 2007 is the year like no other whereby energies are coming to the planet assisting us in moving above the line once and for all. It will be extremely uncomfortable for those who resist this change, for it is unfamiliar. The death knell has been rung for the ego. It's time to let go and let the Higher Self, the Truth shall set us free!

On lunch break my five lovely companions and I migrated down the road in search of sustenance. We were of one mind on an Indian buffet, but turned out it was closed. We wandered about only to come across two more restaurants not yet open for business. I was getting aggravated as I noticed my energy dipping below the line; however, my cohorts did their part to keep the positive vibes flowing shouting out gratitude as we scurried hither and tither. Shivering from the icy breeze we made way for the Casino seeking a trip to the Grand Buffet. Instead we opted for the food court taking up a seat in the impressive glass and steel structure with the thundering Falls just a few hundred yards away. I scarfed down a couple slices of pizza to appease a voracious appetite while the girls enjoyed various fast food selections. We thought we might be late as the lunch hour had quickly lapsed, but when we returned the room had been perhaps half full as others straggled back to settle in for the afternoon stretch run.

We began the afternoon dancing to Bijan's hip hop recording, "It's Mine!" It was somewhat goofy, but most everyone loosened up and shook their booty singing along as good vibes prevailed. Bijan lead us in a couple of meditations in between more Q&A, including a very beautiful guided meditation with his voice playing the role of God answering questions from the voice of a child. It was sufficient to bring tears to my friend Beth's eyes and I definitely felt myself open even more in the heart chakra. It's such a powerful healing that people have to be already rather open to receive. Bijan noted how everyone in attendance is very much at the forefront of the emerging consciousness, i.e. "above the line." Perhaps in a few years his seminars will be conducted with hundreds if not thousands in attendance as more humans open to their true nature as "fingers of God." We are magnificent and powerful beyond our wildest imaginings, if only we can open up and let go of many lifetimes' burden.

The highlight of the weekend occured for me following the seminar when I spoke with Bijan. I thanked him for his wonderful teaching and inquired if he'd be willing to conduct a seminar in Buffalo the next time he is in our corner of the Universe. He responded with enthusiasm indicating that he actually flies into Buffalo when he comes out this way and would be happy to offer an evening session. I'd like to host it at the The Hall at Asbury Church where Ani Difranco converted a crumbling old Presbyterian monolith into a divine center for creative arts. We'll see how it all flows between now and then, but I'm excited to know that he will indeed include Buffalo on his itinerary toward the end of April. The first weeked of May he will be conducting a 3 day event in Toronto which I hope to attend as well. In my opinion, you can never get too much of such an inspiring, life-transforming message and presence. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be conducting similar events?

Tara purchased a 2 for 1 deal for the Toronto seminar and I expressed interest in the extra ticket. Beth debated on doing the same and chose not to make the investment for now while Carey put it out there that she would like to participate, although she's not presently in a position to secure her pass. It would be nice to go up again with a group, split the cost of travel and lodging, but moreso to enjoy one another's company. On the drive home I asked the others if they wanted to grab a bite to eat and we agreed upon a return trip to the Falafel bar where had enjoyed dinner Friday before the start of the seminar. As we drove around looking for a parking space along the bustling Elmwood Strip Laura called and asked if we wanted to meet up with she and Taina at India Gate. So we made our way yonder to satisfy an earlier urge and unite the crew for a most appropriate meal to close out the weekend's festivities. Following dinner Beth and I dropped by the Chocolate Bar to wish a friend happy birthday, but he was no where to be found. I bought a dark chocolate bar as we headed out only to bump into David who had seen us walking by the adjacent restaurant where he and friends were finishing up dinner. So we said hello, exchanged hugs and well-wishes before departing. Upon arriving home I said good night to Beth and proceeded to pass out in my soul chair in contemplation of all that had been. I slept very sound last night with some vivid dreams including an appearance by the gorgeous waitress at the India Gate. Hmm, maybe I should ask her out?

Today is a quiet day of rest and reflection. I have plans later for practice with a singing group up on the reservation. It will be the final of three meetings to rehearse several sweat lodge favorites before we begin recording to produce a copy with intentions to market. Following rehearsal I have plans to meet up with my parents, sister, her husband and my brother for dinner. I'm going to bring an old-fashioned style sourdough pizza to go with the chicken Ceasar salad my mother is preparing. It will be a delightful gathering over a delicious meal. Gathering with loved ones brings me such joy. And if there's a guiding intention for my life, that which brings me joy will suffice. Blogging brings me joy, as does singing, meditation, landscaping, travel, love-making and so much more. Now, what shall I do next that brings me joy? Hmm....

One Love
Sean

Opportunities to share your abundance with others will likely be plentiful today. Even if you usually spend little time engaging in charitable pursuits, you may find yourself endeavoring to make yourself useful in the lives of people in need. A sense that your existence is gaining new significance with every good deed can inspire you to help more people, or to devote more of your time to philanthropy. As upbeat as you feel, you may derive an even greater sense of pleasure from the warm gestures of gratitude offered to you by those who receive your aid. Today may be the day that making a difference becomes a top priority in your life.

We naturally feel most worthy when we are engaged in activities that enable us to make a positive difference in the lives of others. The simple fact that there are people who depend on us lifts our spirits and demonstrates that we have an intrinsic value that spans beyond our own affairs. Consequently, our self-esteem skyrockets as we observe the impact our actions and choices have on those who benefit from our willingness to help our sisters and brothers in humanity achieve prosperity. Few pleasures affect us more deeply than that which we experience while selflessly serving others. We not only feel the sublime joy of giving, but also are inspired to continue applying our efforts to the cause of promoting widespread wellbeing.
