Each time we Meditate an inner centre builds that we can return to over and over for Consultation, Support and Hope.
Sandra at 71. Meditation keeps my thinking straight.
Instead of running around the same old problems, in the same old way REAL change is initiated in our EVERYDAY LIVES.
Straight thinking sets the stage for the PEACE that comes from INTELLIGENT ACTION. The following MEDITATION PRACTICE is so simple, yet so effective at putting our thinking straight. (see previous post)
YOGA MEDITATION
Mediating between the DIFFERENT parts of ourselves.
1. Focusing on our Breath
“My Breath breathes me. I am being breathed by my Breath.”
2. Reviewing our Past Days
Notice tbe Positives and the Negatives.
PRO-ACTIVELY deal with the negatives by FIRMLY telling yourself
what you need to do about them. ACT on your insights.
Notice your POSITIVES. They were the negatives of yesterday.
Feel deeply GRATEFUL for your Positives
Be SPECIFIC about what you appreciate about yourself.
3. Gratefullness
APPRECIATE the significant others in your life.
Be SPECIFIC about what you APPRECIATE about them.
Save the negatives for the Review, where you can PRO-ACTIVELY deal with them.
4. Where are we being pulled emotionally and creatively?
EMPOWER the direction you are being taken.
Not where you want to go but where you are actually being pulled.
This is usually a challenging place.
Support yourself EMOTIONALLY in that direction.
Overtime this Meditation deeply settles your ‘rascal’ mind
Bringing dramatic self-growth
After awhile, it can be done very quickly, even while on-the-go.
5. Your ‘rascal’ mind is settled
Let yourself be pulled into the peacefulness of Samadhi.
