A Meditation Memory

 A Meditation Memory

Rivulets of grace course through me creating

Sparkling brightness within and without

 Luminous streams move out into the air

One continuous web

Intricately woven, all of a piece

Velvet meeting silk

Ease encountering simplicity

Fullness connecting with light 

 

  1. Meditation is a foundation technique for “energy work”.

  2. Meditation helps to integrate mind, body and spirit.

  3. Meditation helps clear and “reboot” the nervous system.

  4. Meditation improves physiological functioning.

  5. Meditation clears the mind and balances the emotions.

  6. Meditation helps in the development of our connection with Truth, higher consciousness, and the  ground of Being in this experience called life.

Explore the many  different styles of meditation. Choose one that suits your temperment. Set aside time to devote to this most enriching experience. Commit to your practice as you would to Love itself. This practice will reward you with development of inner strength and ability to persist, inner harmony, connection with your personal energy and access to higher worlds.

 

 

Teachers

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

Teachers enter our lives in all forms. They are the sky in the morning, the bird who comes to sit and sing in the tree outside the window, the hummingbird who visits to drink from the blossoms. Teachers certainly are also the events in life and the people who share our time and space.

I wrote yesterday about finding the perfect assisted living place for my Mom through intention, request and synchronicity. The place is still perfect today! However, my Mom is traveling through some pretty tough emotional spaces as the stress and fear of change create upheaval in her body, mind and spirit. Her age, memory slippage, basic temperment and lack of acquired tools to cope make it difficult for her. Like a child she will have to make this move and live in the experience before she truly knows it will all be okay, before she knows that happiness can still be in her life.

 Change is always difficult. But when you are old, without tools, or have forgotten to use them, it is even more challenging. How fortunate for a lot of us that we were born in a time when there is more information and methods available to help us navigate on our way through this journey in life.

If we work with ourselves, if we grow, develop, practice and open up to new levels of consciousness, energy and awareness, then we can arrive at the difficult junctures in our lives better prepared. We can move through those passages with a broader spiritual perspective that keeps peace, hope, joy and love in our hearts in spite of the challenges. We can stare down fear from a place of acquired balance and strength. We can use our energy/consciousness and soul connection to help steady and balance those caught in fear. We can provide a safe haven, a holding place when they cannot do it or themselves.

Living Energy…the gift that keeps on giving!
