This exploration is all about choice. We can choose our experiences in every moment. This is the way to live a Conscious Life.

Who Has a Fun MRI?
I recently had my first MRI done. Everything I had heard about Magnetic Resonance Imaging was a bit daunting. The noise is horrible. You’ll feel claustrophobic. I couldn’t go through with it! You have to lie still for so long.
It was enough to make me wonder if I really wanted to go through with this test.
But I don’t let other people’s experiences define my experience. I decided that I was going to have fun with this procedure.
I went in with a cheerful attitude and a positive frame of mind. I decided that I would meditate during the test so I asked for quiet instrumental music as I put on the headphones. As I was moved into the big machine, the noises started.
I thought about sound and sound frequencies as vibrations and tuned in to the vibrations I was experiencing as the machine whirred around me. I decided to ask the vibrations to clear out anything in me that wasn’t vibrating for my highest good. When the sound shifted to a new frequency, I asked that frequency to also clear out whatever I didn’t need.
I started to feel that there were healing angels with me and that they were working on me as I lay there. Each time the frequency changed I felt a new experience of power and healing and light. I saw different colors and felt myself being lifted.
I felt happy. I had a big smile on my face. I was tripping out!
And then it was over. I was moved out of the machine and the technician removed my headphones. I thanked him and said I had had a great time. He said that not every patient felt that way.
What made the difference? The machine was the same. The test was the same. (I am fine, by the way.) The noise levels were the same. The duration was the same. Why was my experience so different from others’?
I decided to have a different experience.
This is an opportunity that we have in every moment – to decide what kind of experience we are going to have. It is our choice how to respond to the situation in which we find ourselves. We may not be able to change the circumstances but we can decide how we will operate within those circumstances.
An Event happens. We have a knee-jerk Reaction. We hit the Pause Button. And then we choose our Conscious Response.
Event -> Reaction -> Pause -> Conscious Response
Next time you find yourself in a situation, any situation, remember this formula and DECIDE how you will respond. I had a great time getting an MRI. And if I ever have to have another one, I know that it, too, will be fun because I’ve already decided that it will be.

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Find Something to Celebrate
August 12, 2015 — RosemaryThere is always something you can celebrate, even if you don’t feel like celebrating. Seek it. Be on the lookout for something to celebrate all day long.
When you are looking for a celebration it is difficult to stay depressed or angry or sad. Of course, you can CHOOSE to say to yourself or to others, ‘My life is so bad that there is nothing to celebrate.’ Or you can choose to say or think, ‘I wish she would stop being so cheerful. HER life might have something to celebrate but mine doesn’t.’ And then you can list all the reasons why there is nothing to celebrate.
Well, let me clue you in. No one’s life is so perfect that they are not dealing with some issue in their life. It might be minor at the moment but it was and will be huge at some point.
Everyone loses someone they love at some point in life – a grandparent, a pet, a friend. Some choose to focus on the loss while others choose to concentrate on a celebration of the life that was shared, for a long time or a short time but always a valuable time.
Which kind of person are you? What do you choose to focus on when you experience a loss? Can you find something to celebrate?
I’ve been to funerals that were all about the loss and I’ve been to funerals that were huge celebrations of the person who has died. The second kind is more healing for those who attend.
This is not to deny the grief that arises when we lose someone we love. That grief is real and should be honored in whatever way is healing for the individual.
BUT, and this is a big but, you are always at choice about where you focus your attention, your thoughts, your energy.
Do you celebrate when things are going well for you or do you keep looking for the thing that is not going well and focus on that? Do you have some ‘magical thinking’ about the if/only’s in your life? What are you waiting for that when X happens you will be happy?
Start celebrating something, anything in your life today and watch what happens. Start setting your radar detector to seek that which you can celebrate and notice what starts showing up on your radar screen. The energy that you use for the search attracts that which you are searching for. Search for things to celebrate and you’ll find things to celebrate.
So how are you going to spend today? Choosing to focus on what’s not working or choosing to focus on what you can celebrate?
Celebrate YOU!!! Even if it is not your birthday, celebrate that you woke up this morning. That you can read or hear this message. That the Sun rises in the East every day, even when the clouds keep you from seeing it. Celebrate that you can go to Starbucks and get a ‘hello’ even if you don’t get a cappuccino. Celebrate someone else by contacting them just to say ‘hello.’
Surround yourself with the energy of celebration today and watch how many things you can celebrate tomorrow!
