Working through the Awakening Process: Part 2

During the awakening process you have two ways of going about it -- Nice & Easy or Hard & Rough.  (puts me in mind of the opening to Ike & Tina's "Proud Mary" -- cuz we never ever do nuffin ... nice --- and easy!) *LOL*

But my dears, the cold harsh reality is -- those are the choices!  For you see ... Resistance is futile!  You will Awaken!  Yet another cold harsh dose of reality!  oy!

Whether you choose to do it nice & easy or kicking and screaming ... you're going to do it!  So much for free will, eh?

So here are a few more suggestions to help you through this process. Hopefully, you will set your stubborn ass down and actually put some of them into practice.  Yes, I know!  Hope Springs Eternal!

Music.  Music is in fact a Universal Language!  Everybody and every single living thing throughout this vast multi-verse understands music!    Music literally makes the people come together. 

Music invokes emotions and stirs the body into motion.  No matter your mood ... you will find a song that goes along with it!  

During those times you are riding the Universal emotional roller coaster ... you need a little something to listen to in order to get you through the ride!  Music makes the time spent feeling blue and down go by a little faster.  Like Sir Elton John says ... Sad Songs Say Sooooo much!

When it comes to music, I have a very vast taste.  From Mozart to Madonna to Mary Mary to Mahalia Jackson,  Bach to the Back Street Boys to Chuck Berry and everything else in between.    

Take advantage of the healing sounds of music as you go through your awakening process.  Let it express how you feel in that moment.  Let the sounds carry you and bring you back to your center.

Dancing. You don't have to be a Gene Kelly, Fred & Ginger or a Las Vegas Show girl  to enjoy the benefits of dancing!    You don't even have to know how to have fun!  Just put on some music and get your body in motion.  

The physical benefits of dancing is vast.   It lowers blood pressure & stress and ups the levels of endorphines that puts you in a happy place!   Not to mention it strengthens muscles you probably have forgotten existed!  *LOL*

Check out your area for low cost dance lessons ... such as ball room dancing, line dancing or even belly dancing!   Or if you're too shy ... hook up with some You Tube videos, close the door and shake your groove thang!  Dance with Dancing with the Stars if you dare!

Shake your groove thang!  Shake your groove thang! C'mon!  Show'em how we do it now!

Cause ... it's just a jump ... to the LEFT!  And a step to the riiiiiiiight!  put your hands on your hips!  And pull your knees in tiiiiiight!  But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives us insaaaaane!  *LOL*

There's nothing more than I like to do ... than take the floor and dance with you ... Keep Dancing!  Let's Keep Daaaaancing .... oh yea!

Laughter & Smiling.   Laughter lifts us up no matter what mood you are in!  It's very contagious!  As is Smiling!  Both have been proven to have enormous impacts on us physically, mentally and emotionally.

Feeling down?  Watch a funny TV show or movie.     Laughter literally increases and strengthens your energy levels.   This in turn helps protect you against any would be negative nilly that comes along!  Remember Witches of Eastwick?  When faced with adverse conditions, they used laughter to save their lives! 

Find your favorite comedienne and let the laughter Commence!   I love my old Bill Cosby recordings (the one on parenthood STILL makes me pee my pants).  Who ever you enjoy ... get them out  and turn it on and turn it up!  And LYAO!

SMILE!  It makes people wonder what you are up to!  *LOL*    Smiling creates a feeling of love and joy.  Even if you don't feel like smiling ... do it ANYWAY!  You'll feel better!   And too, you never ever know whose life you may change for the better with a simple smile!   

Side Note:  Did you know you can't say my name without smiling?  *LOL*  It's True!  Go on! Say it!  Say MY NAME!   JULIA!  hahahahahahaha!  JULIA! JULIA! JULIA!  

Juuuuuu Leeeeeeeee AHHHHHHHHH!

Gotcha Smiling ... didn't I!  *ROFLMAO* 

Lifting your energy levels increases and strengthens your Re-connection to your True Self.  It's what the Awakening is all about dontcha know!  Take advantage of the simple pleasures to help you along the way.  

And remember ... 

Be Kind  ... Be Patience ... and most of all ... Be Loving to Your Self!
