Beastie Zen

The Beastie Boys have always been on the cutting edge of music, but now MCA (also know as Adam Yauch) is taking finding a cure for cancer to a new level.

Yauch was diagnosed with cancer of the salivary glands and as a proclaimed Buddhist, has made meditation a part of his treatment.

Last Tuesday, Yauch rallied Beastie fans to join him in meditating to destroy cancer:

"a few friends and i are meditating at the same time twice a day. 9:30am and 6:30pm eastern standard time, for about an hour and half.

we are picturing smashing apart all of the cancer cells in the world.

we are visualizing taking the energy away from the cancer, and then sending it back at the cancer as lightening bolts that will break apart the DNA and RNA of the cells. if you have the time, please join us in whipping up this lightening storm. mind over matter..."

I love this idea and wholeheartedly believe in the power of manifesting our deepest desires through the power of thought and meditation.

Whether you want to join Yauch in meditating to fight cancer, or you have your own cause to materialize, try directing your thoughts and energy for a dedicated period of time each day towards your goal.

Oldie Sunday - Resolution Reminder

We're a week into the New Year ...

Just a reminder to ask for support from your loved ones and friends in achieving your goals:

New Year's Eve 2009 - It takes a village

Tonight my family and I are starting a new tradition.

Much like at Thanksgiving, when families sit around the table and state what they are thankful for, tonight we are going to write down our goals for 2010 and commit to supporting each other and reinforcing achieving those goals.

The mob mentality will help us actually follow through.

In fact, helping my family's goals come to fruition will be just as satisfying for me as achieving my own.

So, get some support and publicly declare what you want to strive for in 2010.

It takes a village sometimes ...

Salud!!

And a have a safe and Happy New Year!
