Don't go on a Mind Trip, Go on an ET - Easy Trip
We are a mobile society. We fly, drive cars, ride trains, go
on luxury cruises, see the Grand Canyon by helicopter and travel in space
ships. Great. Our technology makes going from place to place easy. And here
comes that word - but, what about before the going?
Is preparing for a trip easy or do you have a hard attack before your trip... what to
wear, details, what to take, finishing up at work or home. Is your pre-trip
behavior a drag or a joy?
Travelling is a privilege. Unfortunately drama is a drug and
most people are addicted to travel drama. If you find yourself "innocently" (I
use this term instead of guilty because, guilty is a hard word to bear) engaged
in travel trauma/ drama/ suffering, here are a few tips to turn your experience
towards ease.
1. Play
a game with yourself. Pretend someone says; "I will give you a trip around the
world starting tomorrow with $20,000.00 spending money. All airfare and hotels
will be paid for. Everything first class. Here's the catch; you have to prepare
for your trip in ease. There will be a camera crew filming the preparation. If
you have a hard attack about anything, you lose the trip. Can you do it?" Most
people would say yes and most people
could do this. If we can make anything easy because of a mental switch, then
we've had the ability to make it easy all along. We are such martyrs. We think
we have the right to suffer when we pack to go on vacation. It's okay
regardless of how we chose but remember - it is a choice. Making life hard has
become such a routine that we forget to question it.
2. When
packing for the trip, focus on why you are going, what you plan to do and how
much fun you plan to have. Imagine meeting new and interesting people. Use your packing time to dream of having a
wonderful easy trip where there is perfect timing and perfect order.
3. Consider
a blessing for your trip.
Airplane Blessing
I bless this airplane. I bless all the mechanical workings on this
plane and the plane's mechanics. I bless the fuel, that it might be efficient.
I send feelings of well-being, alertness and competency to the pilots. May the
flight attendants live in compassion and grace that their service serves a
higher purpose. I bless all the people who ride on this plane today. I see them
immersed in love and enfolded in the arms of safety. May this flight be more
than a trip from place to place but a journey into a place of wholeness. As we
fly, we fly on the wings of angels. This plane is divinely protected in every
way. AMEM
Car Blessing and Dedication
Thank
you for my wonderful car. I am willing for my car to be a traveling temple.
I am grateful for the constant, safe and reliable transportation it provides
for me. I understand that my car seems lifeless, but because of your presence
within every molecule of my car, it takes on a unique expression of light.
Wherever my car travels, my vibration leaves a trail of love that blesses our
earth. All who pass through this love trail are changed for the better.
I
understand that my thoughts (while driving) affect its mechanical performance;
therefore I maintain thoughts of peace and harmony when I drive my car. I bless
the fuel, that it might be efficient. I
will treat my car with respect and dignity.
My
car appreciates regular maintenance and cleaning, so I keep it clean and give
it what it needs to function at its best. I will honor and cherish this car as
long as it is in my possession and then I will bless and release it to a new
owner. AMEN.
Ideal Trip
I
have an extraordinary trip. Everything involving my trip is flows with ease. I
travel lightly; have wonderful accommodations and plenty of healthy food and
exercise. My travel is interesting and I meet warm and interesting people on my
trip. Wonderful unexpected surprises meet me where ever I go and I return from
my trip rested, healthy and enthusiastic.
