Barefoot?!!! Yesss!

I walk/sprint almost every day, and go barefoot whenever possible. I’ve been going barefoot for almost a year now. Many times people say they’d love to do that, but they can’t (I guess the fear of rocks and stuff is really intimidating). I thought I’d share what makes it really enjoyable enough to encourage me to continue.

1. I love the way my feet can get tired if I walk really far, but within minutes after I’ve rested, they are completely recovered. It feels like they are so strong, they are the most capable part of my body. Actually, they are. The foot has 26 bones (¼ of the bones in the human body are in the feet), 33 joints, more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments (Tendons connect muscles to bones and ligaments connect bones to other bones). It’s such a work of art and adaptability, there’s no need to “protect” it from hard surfaces.

2. I love that I can feel all the contours of the road, and how my feet respond easily to the surface. I’ve decided that rocks are “acupressure” experiences, so they feel like some kind of benefit, even if I don’t know exactly what it is. Did you know that the nerves in the feet are connected to all the organs of the body?

3. It helps to be in the moment. At times, a pebble will be small enough that it stays on my foot for a few steps. It’s a great reminder to take care of the small things that bother me and not just let them build. How many irritations do we notice and complain about, but we don’t do anything to either change our attitude or fix the situation?

4. Another way it helps to Be Here Now is feeling the connection to the ground and my environment, appreciating the cool areas I’m walking in, the shade, the grass, the breeze, the sound of the trees, and the light feeling and muted sound of my footfalls.

5. I love knowing that if I’m feeling tension or discomfort in my body, it’s from something I’m doing at the moment and I can change that Now. Tennis/training/cross fit/walking shoes that change my natural gait and movement just add another variable my body doesn’t need.

6. I can stop and do my other AiKi moves and outdoor fitness stuff with easy and flowing movement feeling the energy coming up through my feet and legs and flowing down.

7. I realized that the fear of stepping on rocks was way more uncomfortable than actually stepping on them. I also realized that if my foot did find a rock or something, it was easy to just experience it and let it go, rather than carrying that experience around and using it as an excuse for why I couldn’t walk barefoot. Focusing on the positives and what I love, and playing down the negatives actually keeps me from experiencing more rocks and stuff I don’t want.

8. There’s more, but I think it’s probably more that you will notice for yourself if you try it. There are lots of different blogs, forums, and resources for barefoot running. And then there’s always Chi Walking/Running, for whole-body form.

I hope you do try barefoot anything. Walking, running, sprinting, tai chi, dancing in the rain. If you do, please let me know on Facebook/Renae Rojo Cane or email.

CREATING THROUGH OOPS!
(LAW OF ATTRACTION)

“Why me?”

Haven’t all of us had times when it seemed that nothing would go right? I have---although I must say it has been a very long time since I have felt such an experience.

If you are standing around ‘waiting for the other shoe to drop’---well, guess what?---you are creating the shoe and the experience by telling the universe, through your vibrations, just what it is you want to experience.

You are creating by DEFAULT.

When you are complaining about ANYTHING, you are creating by default.

When you are appreciating ANYTHING you are creating on purpose.

You are a powerful creator---a MASTER CREATOR---bringing every experience to you.

It is time for you to deliberately select your experiences---the universe is expanding, and so are you. You are an important part of that expansion. Notice the wonders of magic in your life. Appreciate the awesome being that you are---revel in your power---rejoice in the sheer fun and joy of creating the wondrous things that show up for you. Look through eyes of Source, and be lined up with who you really are.

Luv, Andries

MARTIAL ARTS TIME
(A true LAW OF ATTRACTION story)

I was nineteen years old---a young paratrooper. I had been wanting to get into a study of martial arts, and had done some at ages 7, 12, and 15. I was fascinated with the idea of learning the secrets of personal combat, but no teachers were around.

I was focused on finding a sensei when I overheard a sergeant talking about a judo team.

I waited for the conversation to be over, and then asked the sergeant about the
Judo team he had mentioned.

He practically snarled at me, “Be at the gym at 7, and find out.” Then he ignored me, so I moved on.

That night, to his surprise, I appeared at the gym, and that’s when I learned that people were always asking about the judo, but never showing up.

He had me work out with the team that night, and I couldn’t believe how much fun it was---I was sold!

Later that week I realized that my thoughts, and desires had created the dynamics that the universe had lined up in order to match the vibrations I was offering.

At the time, I didn’t think in those terms. I just thought, “Wow! When I want something enough and focus on it, chances are it comes to me.”

I was on the judo team for four years and Brown Belt Judo Champion of U.S. Army Forces in Europe for three of those years.

MASTER CREATORS REVEALED

MASTER CREATORS REVEALED
(taken from the unpublished manuscript by the same name)
AUTHOR: Andries Cane

That’s right. That is what this is all about---discovering the MASTER CREATOR you interact with.

Just imagine an amazing being who knows your every desire, and wants you to experience them. Imagine that this MASTER CREATOR has all the resources of the universe at his disposal.

What makes the MASTER CREATOR so different? What does she know?

She knows she is eternal---she knows she is an extension of Source, sparkling with the energy that creates worlds.

She knows that she is a vibrational being in a vibrational universe, and that Source responds---not to words, but to vibration.

He knows that his thoughts, words, and emotions, held consistently create a vibration to which is drawn the same vibrational essence. He knows that his greatest power is his ability to change his thoughts.

She knows that what she is living right now is ‘old news’. She knows she can’t get it wrong, and it will never be over. She knows that a negative experience immediately creates a desire for something better---a desire that is instantly experienced by her vibrational counterpart in the huge vibrational essence that makes up her ‘isness’.

He knows that Source takes care of the details. Source lines up all of the necessary components of his physical-vibrational world, and when he is also lined up with himself as Source energy---as a part of those components, then he is in a place of allowing those delicious experiences to show up.

So the MASTER CREATOR becomes the MASTER ALLOWER.

She is the MASTER ALLOWER because she knows it is not about the manifestation, but about being blissful, joyful, appreciative, and loving. She lets Source organize the things that ‘show up’. She follows her bliss---she follows her tao---she allows.

When she is joyful, and thrilled with life---THE MAGIC HAPPENS.

You can shout to the heavens, “NOT ME! NOT ME!”, and you can deny it as vigorously as you want, but you CANNOT get away from the fact that you are the MASTER CREATOR of your life. You have created every part of it through your thoughts, words, emotions and expectations. Even as a newborn you were not a blank slate. We are eternal beings---ever alive, and we do not enter a new life with ‘nothing’.

Your power is fantastical. You have created your very own unique world---one which you continue to create even at this moment. Just think of it---there are billions of beings on this planet, and an equal number of worlds. The one in which you exist is your own, and you get to choose your experiences---ON PURPOSE.

DANCING IN THE LIGHT

STILL DANCING IN THE LIGHT
A true ‘Law of Attraction’ story

I can’t tell this very personal story without my eyes overflowing with tears, but it is such a powerful expression of the LAW OF ATTRACTION that Renae and I have long felt the need to share this adventure.

When this story begins I had been teaching martial arts for well over twenty years, and loved it.

One of my students was Renae, and after two years she had become one of the best in my dojo. We had never gone out except to coffee with other students, and our relationship had remained student-teacher. But that was about to be changed by one of the greatest experiences of my life.

One night as I sat in deep meditation, I left my body, and was suddenly in a vast blackness of space. I couldn’t imagine what I was doing there, and as I looked around I saw a sparkling light in the distance. As it moved toward me I had the sudden knowing it was Renae.

As she came closer, I knew that I too was a light body, and I was moving toward her.

There was no consciousness of time, but we kept moving towards each other until our light bodies merged with every cell joining with each other. It is not possible to describe the intense, joyful feeling that filled me as every one of our cells came together, and we danced in our light.

Finally we parted, and I returned to my body. There was a jolt as I reentered my body, and came to full physical consciousness. My entire body was vibrating with overwhelming love for Renae, and the wonder of it all.

Then I thought, “I’ve got to find a way to tell her about this.” I had no idea how she would respond, and I didn’t want to scare her, so I decided to wait until I determined a way to approach her.

The next night when I entered my dojo to teach a class, Renae was already there. She walked up to me with a strange look on her face and asked, “Did you visit me last night?”

I was stunned, and finally replied, “We need to talk---tonight---after class.”

I have no idea what I taught that night. I probably left everyone in a state of total confusion.

After the class we went to a fast food place nearby, got drinks and sat at an inside table.

I didn’t want to offer any words or suggestions that might influence Renae’s explanation, so I said, “You asked me if I visited you last night. Why don’t you tell me what exactly you meant by that.”

After a few moments she said, “Well I lay down to sleep, and I fell into a kind of sleep, but not sleep place. Anyway, I left my body, and found myself in space. Everything was black, but almost immediately I saw a light in the distance approaching me, and I knew it was you.”

“We came together in our light bodies and danced in the light for awhile---I don’t know for how long---then I went back to my body.”

It was at that moment that we both knew we were meant for each other, and that we were brought together by a higher power.

That occurred over 23 years ago, and I will tell you right now that our love has grown, and blossomed beyond anything I could have imagined, and we are still dancing in the LIGHT.

Lotsa love from Andries and Renae

As an aside (this after the above story was written). I wanted a true partner in my life that was brilliant, funny, creative, talented, and maybe even beautiful. Joyfully, far more than my expectations have been met with the most amazing, and wonderful person I have ever known---Renae is my BEST FRIEND.

THE BOY WHO FLEW...A true Law of Attraction Story

I was seven years old, and of course, wise in the ways of the world. I knew I could fly. Maybe I had dreams of flying, but I knew there was a way I could get off the ground. "There must be some kind of trick, and if I could learn ikt, I would surely move like a bird.

The very next Saturday, at the local movie matinee they showed film of some paratroopers.

"Aha! That's it." I thought

I went home, found mama's umbrella, and climbed on top of the garage. It made sense to me that the faster I went, the higher I would fly. I opened my parachute, and ran off the roof, instantly plummeting to the ground.

It wasn't so painful, and I was sure the umbrella would be fine.

Like T. Edison I knew the experience was just an experience, and it was time for me to move on, still convinced I just needed to know the 'trick' to flying.

The next Saturday at the matinee I discovered the secret to flying. There was a film about Superman, and I realized that all I needed was a cape.

When I got home, I got one of mama's towels, pinned it around my neck, and went outside to the garage.

I could feel the power of the cape as I climbed to the rooftop. I stood at the peak of the roof remembering that Superman would leap into the air as he extended his arms, with his cape fluttering behind him.

I ran down the sloped roof to the edge where I leaped into the air and flung my arms into the flying mode.

You can imagine my shock when I found myself sprawled on the ground----again. Needless to say I was disappointed that my cape didn't work, but I wasn't quite ready to 'throw in the towel'. (I know---that was really, really bad---I just couldn't help myself).

The next Saturday Matinee was the 'one'. I was convinced. There were witches in the movie---more than one and they just mounted a broom, and off they went.
"Wow! How easy. I had been making it way too hard.

As soon as I got home from the Lyric theater I got mama's broom, climbed onto the garage, put the broom between my legs, and ran off the roof.

Somehow I had escaped any damage on my previous flights, but this one was truly painful---so I put the flying project in abeyance for awhile.

You might ask "What does this have to do with the Law of Attraction?"

I'm glad you asked that question because childrens thoughts, and intentions are usually more aligned with Source.

I wanted to know how to fly. I was open to any venue----I was vibrating with the desire to fly---so Source, the great Organizer lined me up with ways that seemed to be appropriate. Isn't it interesting that it occurred for three Saturdays in a row?

We get to experience those things to which we vibrate, and focus upon. My words, thoughts and feelings brought me the experiences through Source. I had the general concept, "I can fly.", and Source provided the details that a seven year old boy could relate to.

LIFE IS ALWAYS AN ADVENTURE...WHEN YOU ALLOW IT. Have fun---enjoy---much love from Andries. Email us at urrecre8n@yahoo.com
