Laughing in B-A-D's face......

Vajrapradama - mudra of unshakable confidence 
(Tina's personal fav)

Bad is not going to leave you alone just because you are a good person.  Bad makes its living trying to make you forget about what is good!  Bad doesn't care that you go to work on time, give to charitable organizations and help old ladies across the street.  Oh no!  What you call bad times, bad experiences, and sometimes bad people, are going to find their way into your life.  Working its way into the lives of good people is what makes bad so bad!

Bad is not going to pass you by because you read self-help books, have an I LOVE YOU bumper sticker on your car, own a string of prayer beads or know how to meditate.  Get real!  Bad is going to show up in any disguise available in an attempt to beat you up, knock you down, run you over and tear you apart.  Good!  Show bad that you are made of good!

You are made of divine power!  Infinite wisdom!  Pure love, and powerfully piercing insight!  Show bad that you have unshakable faith and staying power!  Demonstrate to bad that you are put together with the unfathomable intelligence of the Chief Architect of the Universe, who issued a lifetime warranty on the durability of your goodness.  Ward bad off by showing it that you have everything you need, whenever you need it, to do whatever needs to be done.  Demonstrate to bad that you know what to do by doing it!  Put on your faith boots!  Cover yourself with a faith shawl!  Pull out your faith tools, and be willing to stand in the faith of good.  If you feel a little weary, take a break.  Allow yourself to take a meditative pause.  Indulge yourself with a deep breath and tune up your faith.

Until today, you may have forgotten that you are good enough to withstand anything that you may call bad.  Just for today, flex your faith muscles and shake your good fist in bad's face.

Today I am devoted to showing bad just how GOOD I am!
