Meditation Helps to Build the Connection to Getting What You Desire

In my morning meditation today, I was thinking about what I should write in my blog. I know for all of you out there who meditate regularly that you are not supposed to really have any thoughts and just let it happen.

I have however found that this few moments of selfish time spent in deep thought each morning is really refreshing and very nourishing to the inner and outer self. This
morning for example, I felt the connection with the great source of power. This connection is what helps human beings attract what it is they want. Its also this connection that all the great spiritual leaders over time considered as their actual conduit to god.

The power of meditation is that it slows time down. It can take 10 minutes and make if feel like an hour. I always feel that right after a good mediation, that the world is brighter and I feel more thankful and energized. I also feel that the body needs this time to reconnect with the mind which can be a really good friend or can deter you from what it is you want. The secret to getting what it is you want is to make this connection with the creator. It takes time to build; however once you find a method that works for you, you can go to that place at anytime.

So today I asked for some help in finding my next mission, some help in sending some energy to a couple of places on my body that were bothering me, shoulder, hand, and the sinus headache I felt I was developing. After 10 glorious minutes I felt energized and a whole lot better. Also the debate about what I was going to write this morning vanished, as I just sat down at the computer and here we are together.

So I think its important if you are trying to find out some of those important things in your life, you can assist yourself by going further within and connecting to the creator. This power is an amazing asset. Most religions practice prayer and meditation as part of regular routine. It is these 10-15 minutes every morning that can open the awareness door and help you to find out what it is you are searching for.

I have also setup a new morning routine, something I have been committed to now for the better part of year. It includes a coffee club, 30 minutes of laying in bed with a coffee talking with my wife. This has allowed our love to grow and to really build a powerful connection, 30 minutes of yoga using a yoga television show as the motivator. This is something I thought I would never do but now I look forward to getting out the mat and meeting Sonja every morning at 6:00 am, ( tuning out the commercials) and then a short meditation right after of 10-20 minutes depending on my time availability and then a walk.

Our walk ranges from 30-45 minutes depending on my commitments to my consulting practice in the morning. I have found this to be an amazing routine as it allows me to spend time with my wife, my inner self and my outer self. I also believe it is this time that at 55 years of age has helped me to keep feeling young and having an energized prospective on life each and every day.

So try to commit to being more in the moment, and if you are feeling a bit confused about life in general try to get some time to renew your spirit and connect with your inner self. I also have a program called " Soul Destiny". It also preaches and practices meditation along with a mediation journal. It has helped me to focus and put a few things in prospective and along the way helped me to self heal a few aches and pains. It is this connection to your inner self that can help harness your energy and your connection to the creator. It will help move you in a direction that leads you to where is you want to be. If you commit to just 10 minutes a day of mediation, great things will happen and you will be helping yourself harness the power of the universe in moving you towards finding those dreams and desires you want.

Money Is Not What Abundance is all About

Many times we feel that there is a real issue surrounding money. We find ourselves thinking, if only I had the money I would do ....

Most of us don't think we have all the money we want or need. It is easy to feel that if we could just get a few thousand more dollars, all our problems would be solved. However, you may find even if you won the lottery, you would still want more. Life will always create money worries,so the important thing is how to deal with them. Try to keep money in its proper place, don’t let it dominate your life. Take practical steps to improve your financial situation, but try also to be content with your current situation; it is a mistake to always feel that a lack of money is our most significant problem.

Try to take a look at how money is ruling your life. Try also to commit to knowing that the lack of money should not hold you back from what it is you want. It's also important to look at the other things, like your health, your lack of motivation or your lack of commitment to getting the things you want.

So if you want something in your life and think you can't have it because you lack the money, try to commit to thinking again and also be thankful for what you have right here, right now. Abundance is not necessarily about money. Try to give this some thought this week. When you start adding everything up you will find you have everything you need.

Commit to Happiness

My thoughts are turning to winter here in Canada and soon the ground will be covered in snow. The summer is behind me now. As usual I tend to get a little sad about the loss of the plants, leaves and greenery as we settle in for the bland months. This year however I have committed myself to just being happy.

I know that sounds simple enough, but it really is. If you are living your life in integrity, happiness is easy to find. When one is living their life without worrying about the past and is more present centered then its really easy to be happy. A lot of unhappy people are still letting there past dictate their present. They are always reverting back to those unhappy memories, wishing they could change something or feeling guilty for something that happened a long time ago.

A while back I read in a book, I can't remember where,the writer defined every day a new day as long as his feet hit the ground. I remember at that time thinking that I could be reborn everyday and that I would from then on forgive myself for the things I did yesterday and live this day like it was my last.

The cool thing about that is, my outlook changed almost immediately. I felt happy and carefree just like a kid again, when summers lasted forever and days seemed like eternity. At that time I committed to trying to experience every day in the present. Once in the present I could change my way of thinking and commit to being happier. In fact without working too hard at it I found myself singing, smiling, being open with everyone I met and generally being more accepting to everything and everyone.

I now make it a point to smile at everyone I meet and say " how's your day going". It's interesting to see the response. In the coffee bar the other day, the women serving a lineup of people, stopped, looked up and said with a smile on her face, really good thanks. Here she was at 7:30 in the morning looking tired from starting at 4:00 am and she took the time to smile and reinforce my own day.

So today, try to commit to sharing more of your day with others. If your questing or re-questing for something, the piece of the puzzle may come from the people you meet. Open yourself to being happier, let the universe shine its light on you and remember -- it all will be given, you just need to notice.
