Spending Time

The universe has been sending me little clues for about a month now about how important it is to spend time remembering who I really am. This could include prayer, meditation, reading a book, going to church, spending time with other people or nature and really feeling the presence of the being I am spending time with.
We can go through life just doing what needs to be done every day or we can wake up and live life. The difference is astronomical! Today the realization of how this works came to me in this example. An athlete takes the time regularly to sharpen the skill they have been given. They spend large quantities of time exercising, practicing, going over past games, making plays in their minds, etc….I could go on and on. These are actions that they put forth to get what they desire to cultivate in themselves and bring forth for the world to see.
In each of us there is a divine spark. This divine spark that is within us is also a part of God. This is who we really are. How many of us take the time to nurture this spark and bring it forth for the entire world to see? We are here to enjoy, love and be abundant. Do we do this? Do we believe this? Maybe on Sunday?
Today just for a bit, spend time listening to your thoughts. Do you love to yourself? Do you love others? Are your thoughts kind? Are you actions kind? Just changing a few things can make all the difference in your life. Take time today and look into the mirror and realize that you are perfect. You are a divine spark of God individualized. Take time to remember that and be grateful for your life. Pray, read, go to church, do something to help you to remember often. Daily take a few minutes to remember. Love yourself and as you do love will flow from you to others who are in need. Our time here is short…remember to remember.
The spirit in me bows to the spirit in you. Namaste.
I love you

Meditation in your Daily Life

Why meditate? Why not? Scientists study it and doctors recommend it. Why? Because it works! (Time Magazine), Millions of Americans meditate daily. The benefits of daily meditation are miraculous to say the least. Here is just a short list of the benefits of meditation:

*Reduces anxiety attacks
*Builds self confidence
*Increases joy by releasing serotonin
*Enhances energy, strength, and vigor
*Keeps blood pressure normal
*Reduces stress and tension
*Helps with weight loss
*Increased sense of calm and control in everyday life
*Increased feelings of relaxation and happiness
*Increase ability to concentrate

It is true; 10-15 minutes a day of meditation can, over time, make a drastic change in your life! It did in mine! I can hear you saying – when am I going to find the time? The kids, work, the spouse, the chores, ect. How can you take care of any of these things unless you find time to take care of yourself first? Meditation will allow all of the other things in your life to be easier, for you to be happier, healthier, and more focused! I say to you how can you not find time!

This truly amazing practice is absolutely free! It only takes commitment and time. There are plenty of places on the Internet to get downloads of free meditations! The one I found today is at project meditation.org and it is totally free at the following link: http://www.project-meditation.org/

Oprah recently had Jon Kabat-Zinn on her Soul Series to discuss the benefits of meditation and how this practice can teach you how to really live! You can watch these two interviews for free on Oprah's site .

Oprah has many other free meditations and awakening exercises on her site just for the taking – here you can find a list for finding inner peace.
If you just do a search for meditations on the Oprah site you can choose from a list of the type of meditations that are right for you.

There is a type of meditation that you can do without anything but your body. You can simply just sit still for 15 minutes and focus on keeping your body still. As you do this ego is kept busy and you can hear your thoughts slow down. This is where your soul resides. This is where your true power really is. There is a peace – a knowing – in this place. Take a chance and sit still for 15 minutes. Let your thoughts go where they will, do not judge them just let them be. Focus on not moving your body. As you practice this or another type of meditation daily you will witness the subtle changes in your life! Doctors recommend it and scientist study it! You however live it and reap the benefits! What are you waiting for??

I love you and wish you peace on your journey through meditation; you are going to love it!

Focus! Focus! Focus!

Ready to get started? Ready to spend some time? Here are some suggestions to help align your focus and start the change in your life. It is easy! Treat it like a game, let your inner child enjoy the experience!

Realign your focus so that you are always thinking on what you truly desire? Plan your day around it! Reading, writing, and speaking about the things that make you feel good brings these things into reality! As you think about these things throughout the day and put those thoughts out into the universe your actions will automatically become aligned with reaching those goals! Magically, your life will unfold and actions that need to be taken will be easy and effortless. Some people call this inspired action, some call it the flow of life, and others call it connecting with life or God. It does not matter what you call it, the point is to take the time to co-create consciously instead of creating unconsciously!

Here are a few simple ways to align your focus. Pick and choose from the list and use the techniques that feel right to you! I personally try to incorporate all of them into my daily life.


1. Write Daily! This can be as simple as a gratitude journal or as complicated as a full blown journal. Writing is powerful! I have a gratitude journal and use it every night to focus my attention on the things in my life that I am grateful for. As I do this the universe automatically sends me more things that I can be grateful for!!!


2. Notes and lists. Did you ever notice that if you make a list you get more done? Funny how a list gets done but how sometimes thoughts about what should get done are forgotten. Jack Canfield suggests in his book Success Principles that you make a list of five things a day to accomplish in order to reach your goals. Life is nothing more than an accumulation of small steps!!!!!!!!

3. Meditation. Daily meditation is one of the key steps in this process. in my opinion. This in itself the most important thing that you can incorporate into your life. You can manifest everything your heart desires with positive thinking, vision boards, and the rest but true inner peace is achieved by going within. Remember that meditation can be as simple as prayer or just being aware and doing one thing at a time, or it can be as intrinsic as yoga. You must find the road that is comfortable for you.

4. Bring your desires into everyday conversations with other people. This practice reinforces your intentions and focus. This does not mean that you must say I am in the process of manifesting a boat! You can just simply say I am looking into purchasing a boat, or I have been considering a boat. These types of conversations not only reinforce your intention and focus but also has the potential to open doors necessary for you to achieve your goal.

5. Vision Boards - I have included a picture above of a vision board. Vision boards serve the purpose of keeping your goals in your face on a regular basis! Everyone should have one! Put it up where you will see it everyday.

Never say NEVER!!!! I CAN AND I WILL! If you doubt yourself you will fail - Know that you will succeed, live that you will succeed, breathe that you will succeed. Know that you have already succeeded!


Sending you love and light! Feeling and enjoying your success. I love you!
