Spirit | Bloomcore™

Om

The bindu is found in many different symbolic and metaphorical forms. But of all these forms, one very familiar to yogis is found in the OM symbol.

The three curves along the lower part of the OM symbol are like 3 streams that represent three different states of our consciousness: the Waking state, the Dreaming state and the Deep Sleep state.

The fourth state is the Bindu state, the experience of the heart of pure Consciousness. This appears as the point, or dot, at the top of the OM. This point represents Absolute Consciousness, the focal point of spiritual practice.

The crescent shape just below the bindu symbolizes the separation we humans tend to feel from the state of pure Consciousness. Since the OM symbol is a reminder that we are the manifestation of Divine Consciousness, the Bindu is the “point” of our journey.

I hope that each person who enters the Bindu will experience his/her heart more open, clear and full through practice, play, and building community.

OM is where the heart is….

** While Bloomcore is associated with no organized spiritual group or religions, I do strive to shed light on a variety of spiritual cultures and rituals that are universal in their approach and power or ‘effectiveness’. I believe prayer is powerful, weather it be in the form of meditation, chanting, affirmations, traditional prayers, rosary, or japa mala beads. These area all channels to the same divine source.

If you are like me, you seek the latest information about spirituality, self improvement, and personal development. I have a pile of books neatly stacked on both of my bed side tables. I’m subscribed to all the best email newsletters from my favorite personal and professional growth masters, spiritual leaders and advisors. With the internet at our fingertips ( literally ) we have round the clock access to tons of incredible information about success, happiness and living a more full healthy life.

Why do so few of us make lasting positive changes?

The fact is, there are parts of us that are impermeable to all the wisdom, support and guidance in the world. These parts are holding and living off of negative core beliefs. Any area of our life which is under siege of negative beliefs must be acknowledged through self awareness, and taken responsiblity for. Then and only then can permanent change happen at our core level, allowing the surface of who we are to bloom forth into the world!

Ask youself:

Am I aware of the areas in myself where negative core beliefs are in control?
-When you think of these areas notice if your breathing changes, or stops completely?

Am I willing to realize and accept that what I assume is my ‘comfort zone’ is actually more ‘uncomfortable’ than living on the other side of the negativity.
-When you think of changing who you are, do you sense great resistance?

Am I willing to slow down, devote time to my personal development daily, and step into the life I know I deserve?
-Who would you be if you exposed yourself to an environment specifically tailored to you – to maximize your ability change for the better using new positive beliefs.

My Spirit’s New Years Resolutions

It’s nearing the end of 2009, and we’re hearing the seasonal buzzwords… “New Year’s Resolutions!” What I am sure started out as a concept with the best of intentions, the life span of the typical modern day New Years Resolution is about 24 hours. In the most impressive, best-case-scenario, hyper controlled environments I’ve heard they can live for up to three months!

While I can certainly appreciate the theory of beginning the year with renewed determination, I favor a different approach to this concept in practice. It’s simple and rewarding and goes like this…

STEP #1: DEFINE THE CONCEPT get in touch with the core of it

Let’s look at the core of resolutions by doing one of my favorite things. Let’s look it up! Defining things is one of the quickest most helpful tools for increasing your awareness.

Resolution
• a firm decision to do or not to do something
• the quality of being determined or resolute
• the act of solving a problem, dispute or contentious matter [this one is interesting...]
• in music, the passing of a discord into a concord during the course of changing harmony

STEP #2 UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT get a new perspective on it

I think we can all find something we relate to here, especially “the act of solving a problem” cause we all seem to use New Years Resolutions to take a huge swing at the biggest ‘problems’ we face in life. The top three most popular resolutions are weight loss, enjoying life more, and giving up an addiction. These are all super challenging things, which most of us do not yet know how to fix, especially when we’ve lost our body-mind-spirit connection.

I think my favorite has to be the definition related to music. I like the idea of passing a discord into a concord during the coarse of a change, and the way it’s written implies a underlying harmony. It reminds me that the natural state of things is harmonious, so when we get in touch with ourselves, our core nature, things naturally harmonize.

STEP #3 BE REALISTIC WITH YOUR NATURE get your core

Guess what. You are with yourself all the time, so you know you better than you think! And guess what else. You’ll have another year after this one, and another, and another…. The point is, don’t make resolutions for this coming year exclusively, as if it’s the last year on earth! Make life long resolutions, from your core, based on who you enjoy being as a person.

Make these resolutions in a realistic way based on what you know about yourself, and how you accomplish things. And attach no pressure or expectations to your results, after all, you have a lifetime to achieve it all, right? But don’t let yourself off the hook completely either. You are awake after all, so with that consciousness comes an internal obligation to your spirit to do the right thing.

STEP #4 RESOLUTIONS FROM YOUR SPIRIT get core needs met

Right Now, grab your notebook! Make a list of what your spirit would like to have it’s New Years Resolutions be this year. What?! Haha…. Don’t think too much, just ask your spirit what it would like more of right now , or phrase it like this ” Spirit, what do you need immediately and urgently?” You may even choose to place your right hand over your heart as you ask the question.

What your spirit needs are what your New Years Resolutions should be!

My spirit said “to move my body for fun, savor pure foods, and share more love”.

So… My Spirit’s New Years Resolutions are:

To dance more [including taking taboo pole dancing classes which I long for ].
To enjoy a huge ripe juicy perfect peach once a week all summer long.
To have a fun night of pumpkin carving with someone I love in mid October.
To get cozy, safe, warm and happy couch time in with my man, at least 2x a week.

What ever it is that your spirit says it needs – turn it into something you know you can accomplish. If it’s love, find ways to be more loving to everyone you encounter each day. If it’s rest or enjoyment, put time aside every single day to simply do nothing, or to do something you especially enjoy. Even if only for 20 minutes. After all, when your spirit it taken care of, things like poor eating habits, a dull life and addictions all tend to loose their grip on us. With our spirit as the priority, we get a little better, year after year.
