So, Oprah and Deepak are doing a repeat of their 21 day meditation challenge. The topic is Destiny and Desire.  I enjoyed this the first time they did it so much so that I purchased the set.

This time around, i’m in a different mindset. I didn’t spend days anticipating the meditation challenge to begin. I actually forgot about it.  I woke up this morning, did my regular meditation and a reminder email popped up when I was about to move into my day.  so I stopped and logged in.

I’m glad I did.  sometimes we need to stop and revisit something we’ve already done to see if it produces different results.  I’ve personally unpacked a lot these past few months and before I go loading things back into me (repacking) I want to be sure that I don’t grab something that no longer serves my needs.

I listened.

Oprah then Deepak.  The first day’s focus asked to pose the following question to yourself…quietly.

WHO AM I?  hmmm good question

Yet what caught me even more offguard was the conversation in my brain when he presented “the centering thought for the day.”

I am my deepest desire.

Immediately the conversation began. So If I am my deepest desire, that begins to provide an answer to  Who am I? I mean I am able to list all the things/situations etc that I desire yet am I those already?  And If I’m not, what am I doing to get there?

It’s a pretty damn good road map ya know…

Am I all that I desire? forget about looking to the external..

AM I MY DEEPEST DESIRE?

I haven’t been able to get beyond that question yet.  I’m working on it.

How can one desire what they aren’t and be ready for it when it shows up?  so many layers and angles to this.

It’s kept me silent for a few weeks (among other things)  I’m back though. Pushing through my own challenges and layers.

Who am I?

Do you know who you are at this point and time in your life? Not identifying with challenges and emotions but really recognizing….

who are you?

In order to know what to pack and re-pack it’s a damn good place to begin.
