I Will Always Remain Myself

Today at the Ulpan, my intensive Hebrew learning class, the class was  entitled  But I always remain myself....................... Of course I would say,  AND I always remain myself.  I could not believe that I focused my learning today, on words that would describe what it is I am feeling,  what  my body is saying to me, and  remembering  I always remain myself.  Each and everyday, I am discovering more and more about whom I am, and how to always remain myself, in the present. I am learning to do both.  Who I truly am now will inform, who I will become.  The key is to remember our resiliencies, I will always remain my resilient self. And POW  I now can know who I am and what I feel and what I need, all in Hebrew.  Fabulous! I can get my needs met by Israelis. 

What was also fascinating to me is that my learning today was all done through song and music.  I learned a song today, entitled, SOMETIMES I FEEL BUT I ALWAYS REMAIN MYSELF,  a great tune, quite a toe tapper.  The reason they teach it through song, is because of what they have learned about neurobiology, linguistics, and memory.  Incredible!! We even think alike. Can not believe that my learning about the brain continues here.  I think I might begin a new type of Therapy,  I will sing throughout the sessions.  The Collaborative Stage Model of Song or perhaps just a new modality, well maybe not me, someone with a good voice.
 Every day, I am amazed, how it is clear, this was the right choice for me.  And everyday, I am reminded if we allow it,  staying in the Present offers many wonders about living our life in the future. 
Tonight at Yoga, during Savasana,  I focused on the sentence
Sometimes I feel..............And I always will remain my resilient self
Somteimes I feel...........And I always remain my resilient self
Sometimes I feel ...........And I always remain my resilient self

  1. sent to me today, so I pass it on to you. "May today there be peace within. May you
    trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the
    infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May
    you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given
    to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this
    knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to
    sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of
    us."
