What an amazingly beautiful day it has been today. The sun was shining bright and productive energy was seeping through my pores. I spent my morning Nutritionizing my brain with foodie knowledge and then it was off to SF to meet and greet with researchers and wellness women. Fun fun fun… masala study, yoga and stress reduction, moksha… soooo much amazing work is being done by so many passionate people. The pieces of the puzzle are beginning to fit together and take shape. So far I am floating with high energy and then things begin to get interesting. In retrospect as I am writing this it all makes sense, what comes up… must come down and then there is the law of attraction and then there is the universe talking communicating higher knowledge to us through subtle signs within and without the body. I park my car at a meter in the busy financial district and am thrilled to find street parking, empty out all my change to barely make 31 mins on the meter… guess that’s how long I will be here. Engrossed in a passionate discussion about helping the stressful society stuck in cubes in the surrounding high rise buildings, I ignore the nagging voice in my mind telling me to check the time. Since it doesn’t shut up I finally decide to end the conversation, it’s about 3:15pm… for some reason the thought of a parking ticket doesn’t even cross my mind but as I am leaving the wellness center and ecstatic about the positive conversation, amidst the goodbyes, I hear myself saying “I hope my car is still there… ha-ha-ha” weird I think, afterwards, why wouldn’t my car be there. I walk down the street and look to the left and to the right and smirk to myself … my car is gone! There is a sign on the road no parking after 3pm tow-away … wtf !!! I laugh at the manifestation or maybe the signs and then notice my perception of reality changing. My cell phone was dying, I was stuck in an endless recording circle with the tow place only to find out that I need to call another number. I walk back to the center partially laughing about the situation and use their phone, minutes and multiple pressing of “0” later I am connected to a live person who tells me in a very jovial manner that indeed my car is there and I can come retrieve it for a small fee of $350! WOW…really … that is like a trip overseas, meals for thousands, wine for days… I cringe and am sad but it is what it is. My cab driver is compassionate and joyous. I pay the fee… the car rolls around and I grab, what I think is a receipt, off the windshield. TICKET! Yup, another ticket for $87… I ask the attendant if it is included… nope, it’s not. Sigh. What a reality. Just like that my entire evening changes with one event. I find a sub for the yoga class that I will not make it in time to teach and make my way back down the freeway. Money moves, comes and goes. The people and experiences which surround me create impressions within me. In one day, a million lessons emerge… I see a few. The universe is always looking out for us and it is up to us to follow along or rebel against. When we follow, it’s easy, when we rebel it’s a test and from that we grow, we experience. The people that surround us, strangers, friends, acquaintances, fb friends, text message friends, places we regularly visit, they are there to support us and OUR energy, that which we already harness. If it is negative it will intensify, it is positive it will intensify… Just breathe, enjoy, and experience the reality that is… and LAUGH!
