Meditation

I am a very busy person and find it hard to meditate. I know it has many good benefits for me. but the moment I start meditating all sorts of unnecessary stuff enters my mind diverting me from my meditation routine. I cannot become still for long enough.

My new year’s resolution is to try and meditate if only for 5 minutes at a time, then longer, and even longer until I can reach my goal of about 1 hour. To meditate is good for our body and soul and here are some benefits:

  • it improves our physical and emotional health
  • it helps lower our blood pressure
  • we have greater resistance to disease
  • we are less stressful to challenging situations
  • we have better work performance
  • we have greater self-esteem
  • we have more nourishing relationships

Let us all try and make meditation part of our daily routine, like eating and sleeping. I am going to try my best.

Namaste.

Conscious Awareness

When you have a conscious awareness of your soul, you experience everything as a miracle.

You feel happy.

Your life begins to transform.

You see the connection between your inner world and your outer world.

Every event in your life is being orchestrated by the entire Universe.

I Am, I Exist

The Universe is thinking

It’s creative,

It imagines

I am creative because the Universe is creative

I am conscious because the Universe is conscious

I think because the Universe thinks

I Am, I Exist.

Inner Peace by Joshua Fraser

The wind whistles past my ears.
Closing my eyes, I lose all my fears.
The waves crash into the rocks.
Out here there is no time on my clock.

The serenity I feel here just soothes my mind.
A peaceful day so hard to find.
The breeze just calms my soul.
Helps me think about what is my life’s goal.

I then look out over the ocean,
And it feels like my life has lost its commotion.
The sun sets down over the clouds.
But the orange glow around makes me proud.

As the night draws near.
I feel like where I need to be is here.
The soothing nature this afternoon brings
Just feels like such a beautiful thing.

I sit and wonder where life will go,
But right now all I want is for time to slow.
To enjoy this moment and feel free,
To clear my mind and find some glee.

It’s days like these I truly treasure.
Amazing nights and beautiful weather.
It may not seem like much.
But it’s moments like these I want to clutch.

For once I feel like life is bliss.
So many hard days in which my happiness was missed.
I could get lost listening to the waves.
Listening to the birds and watching how the clouds behave.

I could close my eyes and fade into the night.
The tranquility I feel helps me win the fight.
As the waves keep crashing into the rocks,
I feel the happiness in my heart become unlocked.

The day is drawing to a close.
The peacefulness I feel right now I’ll only know.
Right now my mind is finally clear.
It’s time to go as the night draws near.

House of Light by Mary Oliver

Still, what I want in my life
is to be willing
to be dazzled
to cast aside the weight of facts

and maybe even
to float a little
above this difficult world.
I want to believe I am looking

into the white fire of a great mystery.
I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing
that the light is everything that it is more than the sum
of each flawed blossom rising and falling. And I do.

Forgiveness

Definition of forgiveness

It is letting go of judgment, resentment, or a claim against another. It is an abundant act.

What is the purpose of forgiveness?

It is unconditional love that absolves negative Karma and frees us and others.

Some behaviours and attitudes that are governed by the EGO and stops us in forgiving others:

Behaviours

  • Holding judgment or anger toward another
  • Inability to forgive yourself
  • Blaming others and holding grudges

Attitudes

  • Belief that if you forgive, you may lose control over others
  • Desire to discredit, censure, accuse, or indict another
  • Belief that if you forgive, you were wrong
  • You have feelings of fear, anger and resentment

We can use some of the following techniques to align us with our Higher Self and to help us to forgive others:

  • Breathe deeply, relax, and let the feeling go
  • Allow the God force energy to flow through you
  • Practise unconditional love
  • Do not take another person’s words or actions personally
  • Remain calm and balanced at all times.

Affirmations can also help us to practise forgiveness towards others:

  1. I forgive myself for…….
  2. I forgive ……. for …..
  3. I release all negative and limiting beliefs.

Faith

(Taken from the book : The Light Shall Set you Free by Dr. Norma Milanovich & Dr. Shirley McCune)

What is Faith?

Faith is the trust and conviction in a belief for which there is no proof.

What is the Purpose of Faith?

Faith is the Confidence in the Universal Laws and the Divine harmony of the universe.

To live happy and fulfilled live we need to build up our faith daily. But then our ego gets in the way and become so very powerful that it can prevent us from reaching our goals.

Some examples of where our ego intervenes are:

  • Our need to control everything around us. Things can happens in your life that you have no control over and learning to have faith that things will get better or not bad, will make you a better, relaxing person.
  • Materialism is another big problem that can wreck our lives.

We do not trust that the universe will provide for us, instead we gather as much money, food, clothes as we can.

Believe and trust in the Universe that you will have enough.

Then there are also egotistical attitudes that can work against our faith:

  • You let your ego be in charge instead of your spirit.
  • You fear and you dislike of what you receive. You are not happy with what is given to you and you want more, better.
  • You belief that you are unworthy.
  • You have feelings of scepticism.
  • You doubt everything and everyone.
  • You are in denial.
  • You show feelings of distrust.
  • You are suspicious of people around you. You cannot and do not want to just trust people.
  • You question people’s goodwill.
  • You feel rejected. You cannot open to people around you. You feel unloved because others do not give you the love and attention at a specific moment you want it.
  • You have a general sense of fear – fear that you will fail, fear to love and not get love in return, and fear of the unknown.

There are techniques where we can align with our Higher Self to build up our faith – here are some examples:

  • You need to overcome your fears and suspicions and the way to do this is to anchor the Light within yourself on a daily basis.
  • Mediation can also help you attain faith in yourself and others.
  • You need to recognize that there is a purpose in all things.

Affirmations can help us to build up our faith. Here are two that you may try, but there are many more – look them up and find one that will suit you.

  1. Let God’s will be done through me.
  • I trust in God to show me the way.
