We continue with week 2 counting down the final 100 days of the year of YES.
This week’s meditation focuses on the heart of desire. As Beyonce says “I want want want what I want want want.” Stepping into this permission brings up all manner of objections from small parts of ourselves. Good.
Keep listening day by day. You may hear things differently on subsequent listens.
We recommend listening right when you wake up or when you’re looking at your morning schedule and ordering your to-do list. The transcript follows at the end.
Today’s the LAST DAY to register your interest in joining us and a crew of epic humans in 100 Days of Yes. We have a formulary chemist, a director of the future at a major tech company, a drag queen muralist, a disaster management chaos master, a classically trained Shakespearean actor, and more.
You just need to reply to this email and say “hey!” We’ll reply with next steps and answer any questions you may have.
5 sane and silly
[silly] I just never get tired of Tales from the Trip. Irene advises what happens when you challenge mushrooms “to beat them at their own game.” Um, it doesn’t go well.
[music] Take a mini-break and watch a master songstress at her craft. I can imagine being in a room anywhere in the world. If she started talking my head would whip around in instant recognition, such is the distinctiveness of her voice.
[film] Timothée will play Wonka in the prequel! I would clearly not be excited about such if not for him.
[never enough Timothée] The gorgeous Being himself talks about being the first man on the cover of British Vogue. He says “I’m trying to go where it’s not obvious to go.” Yes, I’m right with you there, my dear, with popcorn.
[sane] Billie Eilish opens up about having Tourette’s. I’m beyond thrilled to see mental health getting more airtime.
Transcript of the meditation
This is a drop of medicine in a place in one’s soul where one needs to feel A reclamation It’s dangerous and necessary and hot Even if I spent every day prior to this one saying no to my yesses and yes to my nos it stops today It’s not who I am It was never who I was It was just a habit of behavior I reclaim my reclamation I reclaim my yes I reclaim my no To any part of me which was waiting for an answer to come from outside… I am the answer. I decide what I say yes and no to. I am not blocked in any way from saying yes. I just have to say yes. The yes will birth in me whatever is need to step into that yes fully. What would shift if I trusted success was inevitable? What would shift I trust that failure was safe? I love as I love. I love what I love. I love who I love. I love as I love. These desires are mine. These desires shape me. I inhabit these desires. I love as I love. I love unconditionally. I love specifically. I love as I love. I need no one’s permission to love as I love. I grant myself this sacred space.
