Day Seventeen

Today is a day to look at yourself in the mirror and deeply admire everything you see there.  You are a work of art, my dearest Radiant One.  Wonder at your own beauty and be curious about your existence.  Repeat these words from the The Radiance Sutras:

Radiant One, inquire: Before desire arises in me, who am I?  Before I know anything, who am I?  Seek always the intimate joy of your original Self, and move through this world in freedom.

Please join me in pracitcing this meditation for 11 minutes for 40 days:  Meditation to Develop the Radiant Body

Question for reflection in the light of your own consciousness:

What words would I think, speak, write, and repeat if I knew that whatever words I think, speak, write, and repeat must happen?

A radiant prayer:

May fortune be on the side of those who improvise.  May we learn from nature and animals.  May we insist on joy in spite of everything.  May we continue to strive to be more gentle and less greedy, more meditative and less consuming and consumed.  May we reflect on our own image with gratitude, wonder, and awe.
