Tricksy

This is a chance to go in.
And by go in, I mean transition into a different way of being, however briefly.
And by go in, I also mean take your attention away from the external world—with its worries and
noisiness, with its toils and troubles.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Welcome to a Hit of Hope.
A mind can be a tricksy thing.
And one of the tricksy things it can do is to corrupt other things.

One of your best talks. Just love those little hits of hope🙏🌞

Have you ever noticed that when you listen to the news the media reports on all the bad things and fails to mention the good in this world? I believe there is a lot of good that never gets mentioned. That’s sad 😢. I had been seeing a wonderful therapist who really helped me push the bad things around myself and focus on myself and my gifts and talents. It took me a long time to try to master this. I decided that if my mind started spewing crap at me and I didn’t immediately push it away, I would put a dollar in a jar. The money I had put in the jar would be used to send to some kind of children’s charity. I am getting so much better at seeing the positive things about myself and am getting quicker at throwing the negative thoughts out of my head . Your messages have helped me tremendously to be able to do this.🌈. Thank you for sharing your messages. Peace to you.❣️🌸🦋🌞🌹

Wow, precious imagery and metaphor. Beautifully spoken.

Brilliant. Wonderful the reference to The Count of Montecristo. Also, the word ‘tricksy’ makes me think of the Gollum character in the Tolkien works. Not sure if that is where you got it - but considering that Gollum was an archetype of endless suffering through hopeless clinging to materiality (the ring) maybe there is a connection?

Thank you very much. Soothing and insightful as always.

I loved this message! What more is there? Side with the right mind.
Thank you, Becky

Of course. Tonight you would do this.
Only an hour ago, I had a huge epiphany following a really rough couple of weeks:
I told myself that I've lived a BIG life. I've worked over 50 different jobs in a handful of states. I've served in the Marine Corps. I've had guns pointed at my face in anger and stared down the potential shooters. I've ridden my motorcycles hundreds of thousands of miles. I've had my art in shows in two countries. I nursed my wife through Alzheimer's, for God's sake. So who in the hell am I to think myself small or unworthy? I AM A FRIGGIN GIANT, and I will live as I decide to live and not at the whim and worry of an insecure and frightened ego.
Then this. Bullseye.
You live in my head, somehow, and I'm grateful.
Namaste.

Sometimes we forget to have Gratitude for the good. TY 💚🌹

At this moment, I needed this. Thank you.

Dear Betsy, I get excited when I see one of your meditations in the feed. I love the gritty goodness of your voice. It reminds me that living a messy human life can still be glorious.
Love,
Rose
