I have been at Sacred Mists for a little over a year and a half (with a six month break) and I am in a huge spiritual slump. Don’t get me wrong, Sacred Mists is awesome and I love being there. The problem is within myself and my daily actions. I struggle with my lessons because I just don’t feel connected to anything right now. It is strange because I love the information and I love learning.
This seems to happen to me every now and then. I have an altar that does not get used. I have all of the tools necessary and they seem to just get dusty. I have all of the books and they sit on a shelf. Getting out of the groove is the hard part. It’s almost like I feel disconnected from everything and I just go through my daily material worldly duties with blinders on.
Maybe meditation will help, maybe not… at least I know where I am and what I need to think about.

Excerpt from: Daily OM
The more we draw ourselves into the present moment, the more we honor the gift of our lives, and the more we honor the people around us. When we are fully present, we give and receive aliveness in equal measure. For today, try to be fully present in your daily activities and watch a new reality open for you.
When someone says to be fully present in the moment, I say “where else is there?”. I thought I was present and accounted for each day, but now that I look at how I spend my days, I see that I am always somewhere else. I understand that being present is something I have struggled with my entire life. Due to things that happened in my past, I didn’t spend a lot of time in my body and my physical awareness was close to nil. Every day I would end up with new bruises because I would bump into things. How can I be honest with myself and say that I am present if I am not even able to keep myself from walking into tables and walls.
I have heard many different ways to bring myself to present awareness, but most take so much energy that I don’t keep up with them. Even as I write this, I am thinking a million other things and finding myself drifting to something else. I am sure some people would diagnose me as ADD, however it is more than a focus problem. I daydream a lot. I spend hours living in the ‘in between’, where I still exist but there is so much more.
People say to stop and smell the roses, well I stop and smell, then I create a whole new reality out of that moment. Maybe there are fairies living in that flower… Maybe the flowers are having discussions with each other over the lack of rain… Maybe the flowers aren’t really a part of this dimension and they are planning their grand escape…
My world is so much more fulfilling to me and I enjoy each and ever piece. Is it really so wrong to create our own moments rather than live with the ones presented to us?

I am sick of hearing about Michael Jackson. Yes, he did some amazing things for Pop music, but he was not someone I would consider a good example for anyone.
I feel conflicted because I know that he must have been through hell to become the person he was in the end, but I also know that he had the means to help himself out of that hell. He chose to live his life the way he did and in turn he was the cause for a living hell for so many others.
I hope that his family and the children he had contact with find healing with his death. I also hope that the people who idolized him find someone who is a better example of how to live a conscious life.
