Kyoto (I)

Kyoto (I)

My first time on ANA to Osaka via Tokyo and I slept like a baby while the plane took off

It has never happened before

And when I woke, it feels like i am in a different place

The view outside the window was humbling

Infinite shades of blue white light grey

The shade was on and the sun came through

I took a moment to observe that

The sun is shining like no one’s business and that is divinity

I was flying forwards and  cloudstream above was gushing in my direction 

It’s like a literal translation of how much I am moving 

Bypassing the shifts all together in no time

I thought of 2 points in time-

The first time I flew to Hokkaido on JAL with bf and the aliveness healing and thankfulness in that window seat

It was that instant that seeded all these wonderful Japanese trips and culminated in the now

I thought of the last I flew back from Fukuoka , in the night and I asked myself: where is my place in this big big big space 

I look out at the window and continue to be delighted like a child wondering about all this magic in life , of life

And my heart is filled with so much joy they have precipitated warmth in my eyes

I want to travel more, and more. To be in the season, to be in place. To be me. 

In this place nearer to God, I say my thanks and gratitude to all , all who have helped me lifted me loved me. 

Filming a time lapse as we make our descend to Narita made me see that the skies are always clear bright and fine weather up there 

I also asked myself: what is it that I would like to do? 

I look forward to the answer these few days

I sit and settle to connect with Kuan yin , Buddha , Jesus and the ascended masters who have blessed me, all this while and especially lately through Ed 

And I feel this warmth and love at heart

Is it not? This connection?

And I look out 

The world is so big 

In this expanse of space the possibilities- are endless – so long as I will

And so long as I set my heart to it, anything and everything goes

You have made so many things come true, TPY

And what is next? What is the next thing you want to make, come true?

Travel! Travel travel travel! And to have beauty find me, and to express beauty outwards. 

Through me, my eyes my heart my feelings my words

In doing so lift myself and others

And as I thought about what I wrote for the upcoming column in zb, this came to mind, whether I wrote beautifully or not, i wrote things my way, in a way that expresses what is in my heart the most, 没有人有办法写食物写到像陈彬雁那样

Expressing Divinity

Expressing Divinity

Walking out to the bus stop and this I saw along the canal stopped me and sent me right into the moment

The camera couldnt do justice

What I saw was the reflection of light on water pulsing through the tree branches

If I ever wondered – yes I did wonder- what it was like to be having the flow of divinity, to have energy coming through . This is certainly a closest show to me.

To let me know – yes- I, no- we all have divinity this cosmic intel flow grace beauty joy creativity abundance light love – each and every of these and them combined- in me, you, us, them, each one of us. Whether you are aware or not. We carry these beautiful expressions of the cosmos.

And to see this and be in the moment with this is grace.

Happy Vesak !

Inspirations From A Run (VIII)

Inspirations From A Run (VIII)

I had a conversation with the anxiety and fear I have been feeling in the last few days.

HuaiHao said he could feel it. I asked him how and he said “ there’s like an aura of it on me, like you are anticipating something.”

The feeling diminished slightly – not actually significantly after my virtual interview with CXXX

I guess I didn’t want it. So I felt relieved after the session

I told my family over dinner – that previously I had been preoccupied with sending out job applications

And now that I receiving echoes I am seriously wondering what my calling is or how I want my future to be

And I am getting the jitters because I’m not familiar with this point enough – or as much as I want to

Now writing about this made me appreciate the fear or concern I have been harbouring

It was really asking me to pause and to have a think with myself

I was just fidgety and anxious, impatient and jittery

During those few days, I realised that the energy it was bring me is stopping. Stopping me from advancing

And I didn’t understand it fully then until in the run and now really

The first thing I did was to acknowledge its presence and simply say to it. Hello dear, I see you, I feel you, I hear you.

And it was a good feeling. The feeling was opening up to it rather than suppressing it not wanting to see it abhorring it

The. I asked what the message it had for me and the response that came along was –

It is a habit and a highly reinforced energy- over the years. And in a bid to caution me, to alert me of possible pitfalls and that I needn’t be fearful of it.

So there are two things here: an automatic habit of feeling fear that kicks in once I sense myself encountering something different or what I m not used to

The other is my response to this habit – while I have been always afraid of it, I can listen in to it and use it to my advantage

Another response that came was to use this energy. To use it and fully so, on something new like in a new venture a new project or adventure . For these are innately arisen to support and help me. And I could really use them this way.

And I asked what I could do to resolve the habit .

And I find myself saying thank you and goodbye to this energy. It has been with me for 40 years and I was fearful of it, when all it wants is to help me and support me

Helping me come to where I have.

And I find it moving from the belly to my heart and that was where I said goodbye.

It’s a wonderful conversation

Inspirations From A Run (VII)

The intention was to get to know why the soul chose to come to earth? What was so attractive here that I wanted to explore so much I signed this contract?

I ask for the running practice session to help me find out.

And what did I hear ?

(I) to see and find out about light

All the times of perceived difficulty in worry and fear, each time I chose the way out – guided by light. I travelled in the direction of light once and again

(II) to find my magic my divinity

Each time of perceived difficulty worry and fear, I drew out from my core my being my soul my power my magic.

I thanked myself for keeping on – with openness, with the willingness to try , once again. To persevere and not give up. To stake on myself and believe I can

No I did not come here to worry about health, that was me gone off course. And i steer myself back

(III) the miracle body

Everyone of us has this miracle body who takes such wonderful amazing care of us , supporting us healing is restoring us to keep us going

The way my body heals is instant miraculous and magic

Our bodies perform magic once and again on is for us- because it wants us to know that we have a bigger purpose and a lot of things to achieve and accomplish. Our bodies want us to do exactly what we want to come here for and so they support us so unconditionally so faithfully so committed – with so much love

I thank my body I thank my body. Thank you for loving me!

(IV) the magic is if I m well you are

If I m facing light and feeling all the wonders of it, why wouldn’t my daughter? Why wouldn’t you? Or he? She?

One of the most meaningful things I heard from Lee Harris the day before in his free podcast was that when you run( or do something) , you are carrying the energy for another too.

We are all parts of each other. Fractals of each other.

If I am well you are too.

(V) so go forth and do what gives you joy

Without a care

Gifts

This was what the outside looked like this morning, perhaps just before sunrise , yes at 0642hrs

The light is- divinity itself

Things like this have a jaw dropping effect on me. You are stripped of anything you can say. Anything works and everything doesn’t work.

And so you look at it squarely. And be with it. Meditation is perhaps like this too?

In the evening when I looked out again, I saw tiny birds or swallows swooping in the skies. They were having loads of fun playing around

Obviously hard to catch! And I did!

So little bit they took on the skies without any care.

Can I learn from them?

Let go of inhibitions, fears, worries, anything that stops me from advancing.

And just play and have fun, without —— any care.

What wonderful gifts I have received today!

Be Sure

Be Sure

The power of your thoughts are real.

They can affect not only your body, but other people in your life and community.

When you have a clear, simple goal, not only can you focus all your energy in one direction, clearing and re-arranging everything in your life to take you there in the best way possible, but the energies of life itself gather to support you in that goal.

So be mindful of what you think and what you wish for.

When you are thinking, you are moving energy.
Energy moves because of a message.

No matter what you see in the world, if this subject did not get a message, it will not have any movement.

Whether it is energy inside and outside the body or our human thoughts and emotions, they are all messages.

And the universe has its own message for us. And it has its own consciousness.

Energy moves with messages, and messages are used in different levels…

The 1st level is the “unsure message”.
When you have an unsure message, you have doubts. You are not sure whether this is exactly you want. And your energy in your body, anything around you, or anything you want to do will have no direction, no goal, no purpose, then your energy can easily get confused.

Be sure of yourself and your wants.

Make your purpose clear and specific.

What is the purpose of your practice or meditation?

What do you want to receive from it?

Do you want to heal the pain in your knees? Do you want to heal all your sadness and grief?

Feel deep in your heart, “This is exactly what I want. I am 100% sure from head to toe, and I trust this message is going to work for me”

Whatever it is that you want to accomplish, make sure it is known.

Write it down before you begin, can also be helpful.

Many Blessings,
Chunyi Lin

Pass It On

Pass It On

A few days ago I saw a recording of Ed Spina, a healer.

He shared his own experience of how he was able to get on better by having discordant energies removed from him and this is what he is doing now – to help others.

In bed yesterday, it suddenly came through in a capture what I wanted to do.

Simply to pass on the beautiful dining experiences I have had the privilege to have. The table taught me about variety, seasonality, food , produce, selection, about eating and not eating.

Then it taught me about life and the most wonderful things about life such as integrity, sincerity, magnanimity, honesty.

Then the table taught me about myself. Each time spent with the table with an open heart brought me much healing, inspiration, joy, blessings.

The best thing I can do is to pass it on.

And so it is.

Inspirations From A Run (V)

Inspirations From A Run (V)

The intention today is to work with the divine to receive healing. To restore .

And this was what that came up in the run.

(i) thankful to be here

I’m thankful to be here , to be running now and to be seeing this. To be given this opportunity to be here now, to receive

(ii) nothing to do

When thoughts came, immediately there is this idea that “There is nothing to do, nowhere to go but here.

To receive.

There is no thing to do but just to be here and we will receive. I m certain.

(iii) healing comes within

Towards the end of the run, I asked myself about healing. What does my womb want me to know? That it is out of balance . And what can I do to restore he balance? To write !

The body is actually made to support the soul and soul journey and development

When there is inner clarity, the body works it’s best to support the purpose

(iv) openness

If I m here and an opportunity lands on me , isn’t that part of the flow? isn’t that a gift? Just as everything around me in the run is?

I have been looking elsewhere and thinking about something similar I have done always and remained somewhat close to the opportunity that has landed.

What happens when I m being open to this all?

David Foster: Off The Record

David Foster: Off The Record

Teacher Stephan sent me a reply

“Dear Pin Yen, I feel for you in the pain and thoughts.

We are all equal young people, old people, all people and all need to be respected.

Without the elderly (parants, grandparents, great grand parants etc) we would not be here.

They not only had to care for their families and survive wars, famines, atrocities, injustice and so on…stoically survive and move forward through the uncertainty of life and time. Building our nations, economies and then meet so that we are born.

Did you know if we look back the last 11 generations or about 300 years. There were at least 4094 people who had to meet, give birth to a child which would grow up and meet someone else to face the lifes challanges, bringing children etc.

Where did they come form?
How many wars, famines, atrocities have they survived or not survived?

But also how much love, joy, dreams have they had and send to us down the line.

And how much strenght, endurance, courage and resilience have they left in us to move ahead in our lifes.

All we can do is to honore these gifts and take up their courage and strenght to forge ahead and make our lifes.”

And I saw Sasha’s send of this pix that I liked immediately and immensely

I wonder why

I am not sure why but I just wanted to watch this that I watched a while ago.

Particularly the part on Whitney Houston and the hit “ I will always love you”

“And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you
I will always love you”

And this kind of sums it up.

The question and the answer is the same: love.
