Daily Question, October 13

What excitement is alive, deep in my belly?

  • Ed Schulte
    Very important question for me. The "belly" (as it is so often referred to in new age spirituality ) is the Solar Plexus , and older spirituality systems payed a great deal of attention to it because it was the source of ones well being. So one of my very first exercises in the morning is to expand the solar plexus vital energy throughout the whole body....its white-blue light. ...its aliveness.......the basics of this exercise is.......

    So one of my very first exercises in the morning is to expand the solar plexus vital energy throughout the whole body….its white-blue light. …its aliveness…….the basics of this exercise is…….

    Mentally see that a …..sky-blue light…[ white/blue nebula] .. begins to radiate from the point of the solar plexus . It slowly fills the whole area of the solar plexus…. And it casts off any strange vibrations that is giving the phenomena of illness in your material body.

    ……Simultaneously this ..sweet [white/blue] sky-blue light.. is filling your whole body.

    ……..The Holy Spirit [ and the lords of the elements ] uses this sweet [white/blue] light to build your body……..Feel within your body this .. sweet [white/blue] light.. and the pulse of life.

    Yesterday morning when I read this question, I felt emptiness rather than something exciting in my belly. After a good night sleep, I feel something taking shape. I can’t name it yet. However, I’m looking forward to seeing two friends tomorrow.

    A wish to write has come through in a way that I could embrace. Its not the quality of the writing that is important in this emergence: it’s the act of creating.

  • Sharon

    The excitement that is alive is the thought that something great is coming my way. I have always worried about my future… wanting to have reassurance that everything will turn out fine. I realize that my worrying about the future is futile and even better, that what God has in store for me is far greater than what I can imagine. I feel like deep down inside, something wonder awaits me.

    I have begun writing again. I am researching Autism, women, anxiety, and will use my findings or personal growth and towards global health initiatives for underserved communities. I am creating laughter and inclusive end of life programs for those of us in need of levity and joy as well as go-to tools for good lives and deaths during this time.

    I am researching Autism, women, anxiety, and will use my findings or personal growth and towards global health initiatives for underserved communities.

    I am creating laughter and inclusive end of life programs for those of us in need of levity and joy as well as go-to tools for good lives and deaths during this time.

    The weather is warming and I am able to walk under blue skies among Spring blooms again. I can imbibe the ocean on many levels and thus say, “It is well with my soul!”

    I can sit in silence and make peace with the world.

    These are a few of my passions.

    The uniqueness of each day. I watch the sun rise every day and without a single exception, it is never the same – ever. What a joy!

  • Butterfly

    I’m excited by the awareness I have now. My lifetime has been a spiritual quest and I feel I now know who I really am and I feel secure in that. I feel connected to All That Is and although, in this body, I feel really ill, the feeling of connectedness gives me an alive, yet peaceful feeling.

  • Lauryn

    The excitement of the unknown I guess. I’m not sure anymore that things are going to work out in my current living situation with my partner. Pandemic isolation has been affecting me lately and I sense his distance and am not quite sure what happened. In the midst of this I suppose is the excitement of not knowing where I might go next.

  • Melissa

    I get excitement when I see any wild animal in our yard. When the fox, owl or bobcat comes to visit my heart sings that they are alive and still passing through and healthy.

  • Linda

    While it is not exactly excitement, the feeling that we could finally be free of the man-child in the White House is a deep hope and anticipation for me.

    I misread your response, Howie, and thought the last word in the first sentence was “angel”! (Gotta get my prescription for glasses reviewed!) So, inwardly, I thought of my angel, whose presence I realised I don’t acknowledge sufficiently. Now, deep somewhere – I can call it my belly, or my heart or simply my consciousness - I can feel my relationship with my angel and I hereby commit to improving it. That’s exciting! And thank you, Howie, for being such a consistent and thoug...

    And thank you, Howie, for being such a consistent and thoughtful contributor to this wonderful forum.

    I cannot, in all honesty, say I have anything deep in my belly that excites me. Perhaps pipe organ music. There are several things that bring joy, but no excitement.

  • Michele

    I have excitement from the last two evenings of bat watching in my backyard. I love bats and it was so awesome to watch and actually hear them eating above my head. I also have excitement for next week to arrive as I start my new job:)

    A long time friend of mine just notified me of her recent cancer diagnosis. She’s young and has a son about the same age as my boy and she’s frightened. She doesn’t have a very good relationship with her sister or the rest of her family. Her son’s father is near useless with narcissism and alcoholism. She reaches out to me.

    I’m not sure what this feeling is in the pit of my belly but I will not give in to pessimism.

    • Michele

      That is so sad but thank God she has you to reach out to. That shows a deep amount of trust.

  • Carla

    What gives me a lift & can almost make me giddy, is the joy of seeing the bright fiery glow of sugar maple trees this fall. I’m focusing on beauty in this moment, not projecting into the upcoming barrenness of stark naked trees.

    Reading this question, I went back to those times I was pregnant. At first, there was new life but I wasn't particularly aware of it (and never having had morning sickness, thank goodness).

Maybe something is growing. I am trying to be a good vessel for God to work in me, so I guess I will wait and see what begins to stir.

    I’m excited about getting married in August after postponing because of the pandemic. We are hiking in Iceland for our honeymoon (if the pandemic allows) & I’m so excited to see the beauty of that country & challenge my body to go further.

    • Michele

      OMG the pictures of the Blue Lagoon springs look amazing – hopefully you’ll get to go there too:) How exciting!

      • Trish

        It wouldn’t be a “proper” honeymoon without it😎

  • devy

    I had to think about the question… honestly I don’t have any excitement deep inside of me at this time. I have contentement and try to look more at being grateful and happy with life.

    • Debbie

      I know what you mean … though I am working on my participation with life 🙂 I would like to feel ‘happy’

  • sunnypatti
    I have an excitement for the business my man & I are starting. We both love cooking and entertaining, and as he's a trained chef and I'm a former planner, it's going to be so much fun! We just have to make the time to really sort the details, but there are parts that have already fallen into place. I'm also excited to marry this man. I don't know when it will happen, but we started talking about it a couple months ago. While I knew I would love again after my first marriage, I never thoug...

    I have an excitement for the business my man & I are starting. We both love cooking and entertaining, and as he’s a trained chef and I’m a former planner, it’s going to be so much fun!

    I’m also excited to marry this man. I don’t know when it will happen, but we started talking about it a couple months ago. While I knew I would love again after my first marriage, I never thought I’d want to marry again. Then I met my soulmate. Our connection is something I’ve never experienced – so beautiful and deep and loving and honest. And every day gets better as our relationship grows stronger. I can feel my heart welling up with gratitude just thinking about it!

      I thought I had this again, but now I’m doubting it. 🙁

      • Debbie

        Comes and goes for me too 🙂 🙁
        Though Brother David has helped so much with his words. I actively participate in the awareness now, so that is a step in the right direction 🙂

      • sunnypatti

        Talk to God about it, and listen to your heart. Hugs to you!

    • Michele

      Your response gives me hope:)

  • EJP

    The excitement of this new day with endless opportunities and adventures, sincere direction and guidance.
