Oh my...........just reread what I wrote.......fraudian slip I guess. No I hope it IS for a long time to come. I have been miserable with this leg now my plugged ear. I am going nuts over here with the pluggled ear. It was a slip. I tried a holistic cure and it did not work.

I put salt in a washcloth and heated it up and layed my ear on the hot cloth. It felt good but did not pop my ear. Then I remember I read somewhere they said applying heat is not good. I also tried steam. I boiled a pot of water and put a towel over my head to catch the steam. I got nodda.

Queeny....the only things i could find for plugged ears is warm olive oil and or ear candling.....not sure about the ear candling..i think that is where you buy the cone shaped thing but i am not sure if you drop hot wax in the ear or burn the cone thing so the smoke clears the ear...will have to read up on that one. The warm olive oil was under ear infections. My mom used to put gin in our eyes when we had swimmers ear but not sure that will help you either. I'll keep looking.......

I got to see half the webcast tonight. wow I just totally love Eckhart. I think when I am in Sedona I will meditate on the word I AM, at the vortex's.

saying I AM and not conciously filling in the blank is alot easier for me than asking Who AM I? and Not mentally trying to answer it.

Di I listened to some of the webcast tonight even though I am reading chapter 4 right now. When Eckhart talks he makes so much sense. I think the reason I had such a hard time retiring was that I was identifying with being a teacher so much that when I retired I lost my identity. I have been learning to let go of that.

wtg di! who we are can't be answered mentally. who we are lies within us. it's a state of being. our essence is who we are. sedona is a good place to do that in......it will be an awesome trip for you for sure!!!!!!

Deborah - Thank you for saying this. I was depressed when I lost my job in mid July because I was identifying with being a paralegal/office manager. I felt like nothing -- sort of like there was no meaning to my life. Of course, that is so far from being true, and I now realize that no longer am identifying myself with that profession and just being me. I have really enjoyed a good week of just being me until I got sick.

Lucki - I love the way you put that.

Oh, on ear candling, I did that to my oldest DD when she was in high school. You put one end of the "candle" (which is hollow) in the ear canal, and you light the other end. The heat is supposed to drawl the ear wax up into the hollow core (I believe). My DD said it helped, as she always had a wax build up. I did, however, put a paper plate (put a hole in the middle) around the candle so no hot wax would drip and burn her. There have been discrepancies on the effectiveness of ear candling, but it is worth a try, Deborah.

I'm still reading chapter 4, although I did listen to the webcast of chapter 4, already.

ok. i'm coming clean. i. lost. my. book.

there, i said it.......i've been embarrassed to come in here and talk because i have no clue but thought i might just start with the confession. I figure if it was important for me then the book would have stayed so I can only assume it is with someone who needed it more than I. I'm still looking tho because I really wanted to read it...maybe i will buy another one....ok..so maybe it happened for that humbleness?????

Michele I still struggle with my identity. I feel like I should be "doing something." I think God has told me to slow down since I had been going full blast for so long. For many years I taught all day and bartended at night and weekends to get our first bar open. It was a lot of hard work. Fast forward 15 years and 3 bars later, soon to add another, I still don't identify with being a bar owner. Even though I am the owner and I bartend, I feel like a fish out of water. I do enjoy talking to customers about life and that may be my best asset. I still feel like I have another career in me. I don't have a clue what it is. I hope it is something that will help people. I have always wanted to write childrens books but don't know where to start.

Lucki, it must not be your time to read the book. I am proud of you for coming clean! Good going girlfriend!!
I hope you still stay and post with us. I feel so connected with you and your spirit, and you have so much wisdom to offer. Do you watch any of the webcasts?

I got stuck on chapter four but I just now gave myself permission to go to chapter five which is called the Pain-Body. Holy cow that is just what I need to read right now too!!

I made myself the coolest book marker, even if I do say so myself. It is adorning my book and it calls to me to open and read the book. I took a coaster from Ruby Tuesdays that they toss after one use anyway, and did decoupage and paint/ ribbon on it. Anyone that would like one, I would be happy to make one for you. Just let me know.

Happy Earth Day!!

When is Diva Di coming back from Sedona? Does anybody know?

So the webinar is over. Did anyone finish the book? I'm on chapter 5. I watched all of the webinars except the first one, for which I read the transcript. I'm glad that the classes will be re-broadcast in June. Surely I can finish the book by then.

I feel like the book has helped me with my weightloss. I have had a shift in my mindset this time around, and I think that A New Earth has helped. Instead of having an attitude of feeling that I just couldn't wait until I lost my weight, I began to be grateful for where I was at that very moment. I focused on being present while eating, enjoying the taste and texture and smell of the food, feeling full. I began to be grateful for the many food choices that I have. I can finally see myself doing this for life.

Thank you to all of you for this discussion!

How come everyone got stuck on Chapter 5??? Me Too!

I've just loved the webinar, even though I haven't had time to keep up with the reading. I'm so glad they're going to rebroadcast. I'm going to try to download the sessions, too. Should have been doing that right along instead of waiting for the last minute. I didn't think I had room on my hard drive, but my hubby says I have plenty.

Lessons learned. Getting enjoyment from the present moment. Being more present in my dealings with people and my dog (she loves that one). Not worrying so much! I think I'm much calmer in general. The list goes on. This was definitely worthwhile experience for me. Just loved it.
