Nostalgia

Nostalgia is an intuitive nudge with a profound emotional echo. It has a gentle tenderness, like bathing in a faded truth. A flicker of inner light sparks something, a moment in time that deeply matters to you. For a quick-taste, you are there again.

Intuition drives action to do, think or feel something. Nostalgia is an intuitive cue to be thankful. Like a kiss that turns the world upside-down, there's a flame. In a flash of warmth we renew bonds with a time that matters.

Time is the fourth dimension and we are part of it. Intuitively, we are excited by energy of change and purpose. It's how we sync with timing. Sensing values that transcend time seals memories with passion. These memories become nuggets of nostalgia. 

Is nostalgia being in two dimensions at once? I don't know. When nostalgia drives you to learn about yourself and reconnect with what matters to your heart – that is beautiful.  For a glorious instant, you know what is real. It is a lucid moment.

In your tenderest heart, memories of love, peace and kindness are held

sacred and irrevocable. Nostalgia is a nuzzle of soul that stirs connections with memory and the choreography of change.

Sensing nostalgia is deeply personal. A sudden pull, connection or meaning floods the moment. There is a reason. There is a reason for everything. Intuitively you know the answers. Every person has the sense of curiosity in their heart. We wonder why we're here. We search our past for healing and rhythms of Justice. Nostalgia refreshes memory.

I heard a beautiful intelligent and compassionate talk about Nostalgia today at The Rubin Museum. I learned nostalgia is an intuitive nudge that everyone experiences. Being nostalgic is the transcendent experience of thinking sensually.

Humanity is a jewel. Every person is a facet of it. Time is held together by a seductive connection between our sun and the fiery heart of mother earth. Nostalgia is how we know private truths. It’s a soul caress that reminds us Life is sacred.

Like all great passions, nostalgia is multidimensional. A nostalgic moment happens inside a different place. A touch, a scent, the light, music or a picture unlocks a dimension of time to swell the flicker of light in your heart.

This evening a wine glass gave me a flash of nostalgia. My inner-critic said: What an odd thing to remember. Then I knew why I was experiencing nostalgia – because that speck of time matters to me. I hugged the glimpse/feel/taste of it with my heart. I am so thankful.

The Story

The story is not logical. It is not orderly or mechanical. Life is unpredictable. The unexpected and impossible happen. We are born with dreams and driven by desire. Lots of things that aren’t logical feel incredibly right. Love is often breathtaking – but not logical. It's always evolving. There’s always some kind of love in the story.

Your story belongs to you. Sperm meets egg and you are an explosion of connection that never stops until the last page. Life is spontaneous. Be brave.

The rule for a good story is to honor Life. You can feel what that takes by noticing what you sense. The ability to sense what matters is spontaneous search engine thinking that defies logic and dogma to find what feels right. Trust that feeling. Be thankful.

Gratitude is intuitive bravery. It is reasoning that goes beyond logic and is outside the box of dogma. It is intuitive sunlight that clears your head, renews excitement, heals worry and brings balance to the flow of Living. Stay outside the matrix with this powerful perspective.

Logic and psychology, push us to adjust our thinking, rather than to sense the flow, and evolve. Emotional reasoning and intellectual dogma stifle us. While logic or psychology can make sense in the context of the moment, the moment is already passing.

Life and love are defined by experience. Nothing is ever the same twice. Change is melody and Love is soul. Sensuality is simple presence.  Stay tuned to what feels like harmony. 

Between your reasoning mind and deeper dimensions of sensual thinking, are powerful skills of lucid living. Everything you sense is naturally ripe multidimensional awareness of timing. With every breath, options shift. Physical, mental, emotional connections with resilience and purpose evolve. You are born to evolve. Tune to change. Sense what you need. Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next. ~ Jonas Salk


Sensual thinking sources excitement and bravery in the stream of change to nudge us to leaping off points of purpose and understanding. Without thinking, we land with serene "aha" moments of amazement. The story is the full spectrum – from passionate to peaceful. 

Curiosity, dignity and wonder are organic tools that intuitively ground your logical mind and emotional heart –– so that in a blink, a heartbeat and without thinking –– things come together. It's a stress-buster.

Think less, sense more and dance with rhythms of living. The story is bigger than dreams or hopes. The place you are right now is exactly where you belong. Sensual choices drive quantum leaps between dimensions of potential and being.

Love is our magic. It is everywhere. Explore. Be playful, poetic or passionate. Find your mojo. Intuition will nudge you and drive action because you are born to be great. Every day brings surprises. The power of change is the path that sparkles. Never give up. You will be glad.

Everything you sense makes the ordinary, extraordinary. Life is amazing. Take a breath. Let your eyes, lips, tongue, heart and mind be present. Connect what you do with who you are. There’s rhythm and soul in your story. Enjoy the music of sublime personal freedom. Be grateful and find satisfaction.  .

Courage, dignity, self-respect and heart bring flavor, texture and timing into the conversation of living. Happiness happens.  Fine tune who you are. You will sense meaning and purpose and these will be your story.

The Story: Brandi Carlile

Taste Life.

Sensing makes the ordinary extraordinary.

The uniquely human thrill of tasting life is the buffer zone between you and stress. Follow shadows with your eyes. Taste flavors, feel textures, inhale a passing fragrance, touch lips. Sensing and stress are not compatible. 

Ring in the new year with passion and freedom. My resolution is to taste what I eat, give eye contact when I talk and to love more. 

Passion is sensuality that shimmers with potential and action. It's our appetite for Life. Really tasting life refreshes everything. The secret journey of the soul is a natural hum of happiness.

Sensuality is the texture and feel of human connection. We sense style - our own and others. Discover yours by noticing what you sense, especially when you eat. 

How you eat mirrors the way you interact in relationships. Eat with heart, style and confidence. Swallow what you love. Be grateful that you have food. Great style is being clear about priorities. It's about taste. Do you savor flavor or eat really fast?

Recognize what's important by eating for energy and taste. If you do this for a week, you will automatically be less stressed and more discriminating in other areas of your Life. You will find self-control is easier. Train your brain to choose the hum of happiness. Sensuality is presence. Indulge yourself and feel it. 

• Let your tongue, mouth, body and mind receive the flavor of nourishment. 
• Chew slowly and let digestion happen naturally. Intuitive eating is tuning-in to natural physical rhythms and sensual patterns. We are not machines.

Machines can’t love. They can’t experience real desire or know what spontaneity is. Machines can’t taste food. They have no soul. It's great to be alive. Only you can know the hum of happiness. Machines fake it.

When Life is stressful, it's common to lose touch with personal humanity. Then, we eat without tasting and forget to breathe. 

• Sense what feels right to get out of your head.
• Breathe deeply before you eat to connect with dignity. 
• Have dessert.
• Make a commitment to feel your body at mealtime. 
• Be happy.

Taste is the decider of style. Everything you taste with your eyes, lips, tongue, mind and heart is a spontaneous sensual adventure that gives Life flavor. Give yourself freedom to relax and enjoy mealtime. The more you do, this habit of giving yourself freedom will snowball into other parts of your Life. 

Priorities are private. No matter how busy you are, remember that you are not a machine. Taste Life! Love. Embrace all the flavors. When you're clear about what you sense, the natural hum of happiness reflects in your eyes. Everyone can see it.

Today

Today is uniquely satisfying in ways that nothing else can touch. Enjoy your moments. Let your mind find purpose, humor and longing. Let love light you up. Taste happiness and understanding. Be honorable. With peace in your heart. You will sleep well tonight.

This is your day. Value it. You are light, humor, change and sensuality.  Ahead are dreams, passions, struggle and reward.  Honor your soul by living well. Today is an  opportunity, a chance to see what you need, have what you want. Speak from the heart.

The present is all we have. It is sacred. Use it well. Hold close what you value and love deeply when you can. Let go of what feels wrong. Don't stop dancing.

Nothing is interchangeable with this moment. To find true love be true to your heart. Don't sweat the small stuff. Make connections. Curiosity is part of courage. Stay curious.  Passion laced with honor and determination brings satisfaction. Wonder is an aphrodisiac and gratitude finds answers that heal. Today has never come before.

 Breathe deeply with your whole body. Today your life has taken root, and your lips, mind and heart are golden branches in tune with the sky. Play soft notes with your words for they become the pillow of tomorrow's dreams. They are the music of your soul. Today they shape the wind.

Adventure

‘Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. #T. S.Eliot 

Life is not shy. From the obscure to the outrageous, it's demanding, it's adventure. Sometimes there's an exquisite madness and we can only talk about Love. Feeling the flow is knowing the pleasure. Sensing connections keeps satisfaction happening. 

You are energy that syncs with timing, intent and direction. Mind/body/heart connections are purely sensual and more satisfying than words. Notice. The physical buzz of momentum brings connections and effortless beauty. The adventure is satisfying. 

Sensuality is the ticket. We need it to understand who we are. Depend on what you sense as you navigate desire and follow passions. Curiosity is intuition  that brings instant connections with vitality and purpose.  

More eye contact, deeper hearing, inhaling desire, responding to intent and tasting satisfaction– takes Life to the arena of Love. Love is the peak and thread-thru of being. 

Laugh often. Laughing kick-starts new rhythms. Humor is a lubricant for everything. Love + laughter inspire dreams and hope.  The sound of laughter is the voice of your soul. You are beautiful.

Relax. Inhale white light of imagination and compassion deep into your heart and down to your gut. Every day brings natural rhythms of ecstasy.  Touch shoulders with common sense and charisma. It's all part of the adventure. Stay bold.

As Life conjures the unexpected or the amazing, sensing what's real goes beyond the obvious tapping into easy tranquility. Sensuality is a gentle perspective that feels like understanding or balance. Creative potential is instant and intuitive. When life serves lemons and you make lemonade – that is creative thinking. Fine tune your sensuality to access creative intuition, and then, sense what matters to navigate dreams.  

Inner confidence is spiritual affinity that keeps you moving forward. Intuitively, you adapt to change and bend around obstacles Without stress, you know what matters. Purpose is clear.

Sitting in traffic or simply waiting in a line can be jarring. When this happens our mind takes off searching for a sense of rhythm, momentum or timing. To relax and realign your mind with your soul, feel your body breathing.  

Breathing deeply and slowly, in and out tunes our mind to soothing body rhythms. It immediately diffuses the physical impact of stress. Take 2 breaths slowly in and slowly let them out.

The impact of difficult decisions fades when you sense an intuitive answer. Although you can sense exactly what you need, the answer may surprise you. It may not be what someone else wants to hear. Notice what you sense to access your gut feeling and trust what feels right. Train your brain to reason sensually by eating intuitively. Then when you hit a wall, intuition will open the door. Consider this:

• If you eat whatever is easy or grab without discriminating, you might be accepting less than you deserve in other areas of your life. Eating is a way to train you mind to sense purpose. Have the courage to use your intuitive power of curiosity. Taste what feels healthy. Tune to your body's reaction. 
• If you eat fast, or don't really taste your food, you might be the type who misses the big picture. Your  life is big. Get to know your body. It is the home of your heart and soul. Don't eat what you don't like or want. If you eat less, you will not starve. By listening to what you sense, you give yourself unexpected breathing room to make smarter decisions. 
• This is your adventure. Honor yourself, and others will respect you. 

Life is a blend of intimacy and sharing.  Did you ever stare at someone and they turned towards you? Sensual connections happen 24/7. As you read this, my energy of light and focus, is blending with yours. The adventure of living is extremes from amazing highs to shattering lows. It's important to keep the light shining. Make a pact with yourself to notice Love. 

Breathing is soul music. When things get strange, listen to your breath and feel the beat of your heart to find sensual focus. This will calmly reset your frame of mind.

• Listen to music that touches you in a private way or just
• Remember you are breathing.
• Close your eyes and feel energy of simple focus with your tongue and ears until your lips start to curl up and your eyes open, refreshed. 
• Rhythm you sense is the adventure.
• The energy you feel is a dance beyond the obvious into the realm of imagining.  

Everything you can imagine is real. #Picasso  #janebernard   #IntuitiveEating

The Sound of Silence

Listen. 
The sound of silence is the voice of your soul. It’s intuitive drive for harmony and peace that cuts through lies and deceit that threaten you. Energy you sense is the healing ticket to inner balance and the power of Love.  

From 'fake news' to virtual reality, we are bombarded. A stressed mind, clogged with fear, doubt or negativity, is a tool of the system. Don't be manipulated. Hear the sound of silence and the beat of your heart. 

You can sense lies and hear past illusion. Don't force your mind to wrap around anything. Instead, be open to the gut feeling. Focus on self-respect and kindness makes answers easier. Sidestep disaster and bias by choosing to walk your own walk. Use music to connect with heart and stay grounded. 

Take a moment of silence to realign with the bigger picture. Navigate change by responding to your sense of right and wrong. Don't think so much. Take actions that feel valuable and you will find clarity and companionship. 

Enjoy a sensual break from mental overload to strip the cloying grip of stress. Listen to the sound of silence:

·       Breathe

·       Close your eyes

·       Lick your lips

·       Enter softness

·       Sense happy

·       Be comfortable

Things take longer than we anticipate We all struggle to understand, grow and be our potential. Take space to be patient with yourself. Free your mind. It is in moments of waiting that ideas happen. 

Intuitive thinking is our cosmic appetite for understanding, love and destiny. It is naturally part of making choices about what to eat or wear or how to respond. Consuming an overload of indigestible “news” or GMO’d foods creates stress. Intuitive eating realigns our cosmic appetites to sidestep stress. 

Every skill, including intuitive thinking is mastered by practice. Celebrate the power of silence. Free your mind to master the moment by eating intuitively. You eat every day. Practice means benefits. Guaranteed health benefits because you digest food better with intuitive tools.

Sensual thinking is the option to be humane that brings remarkable fulfillment. When you say and do what you believe, it's satisfying. Outsmart the system by disciplining yourself to use intuitive tools while you eat. Doing this can rewire your mind.

We are here to help each other. Being in-tune with what you know is right for the greater good makes Life feel worthwhile. Your heart knows where it wants to be. Be yourself. You will find love waiting for you. Trust the sound of silence to find peace, comfort and passion.  

Intuitive answers like listening to your heart and responding to your body become second nature. 

Don't be tricked by 'fake' news or stress into responding the 'old ways'. Think outside the box. Trust your values. Words and actions have power to change everything. It's little things that form important relationships. 

In the sounds of silence, distinctly unspoken human feelings like Love, patience, dignity, curiosity and wonder connect us.  Answers we sense are foundations of potential and peace of mind. 

Sensuality takes Life to another dimension.
