The Om zone and having scans! Yes you too can mellow out and be mindful anywhere!

Dear Family of  Love,

Happy Keeping the Faith Friday Fearlessly Without Fretting. Today I had a scan of my parathyroid glands and found it quite a meditative experience. You wouldn't think so but it was. It had all the elements of our mindfulness and going deeper exercises. I could honestly say that I was on retreat at the hospital this afternoon and it wasn't a bad thing to do. It was a very good thing to do and I felt at peace and was very relaxed. Today I have learned that being in the Om zone is one of the most important things we can do to quiet our bodies, minds, and spirits anytime. Tonight we need to place our worries, cares, fears and whatever else is troubling you into our Worry/ Sabbath box in preparation for our Self Care and Sabbath Rest Weekend. If  this is late you can do it tomorrow. 
I feel totally relaxed today and am very glad that I can dial it down and be comfortable even when I'm still a tad bit radioactive. I only hope I don't glow in the dark! For tonight's mindfulness exercises we will do our traditional forms:

Inhale Love,
Exhale Love Energy
Be Still and Know that I am God.
