Meditate Daily, Even If It's Only for 5 Minutes
When we take the time to bring ourselves into a quiet
sacred space with Spirit, we open ourselves to Grace
and unlimited possibilities. Just 5 minutes a day can
make a difference in how we move through our day. Some
meditation techniques are included below.
Add Some Silent Time To Your Life Every Day
In addition to meditation, I suggest you take every opportunity
to consciously add some silence to your life. The world
we live in is inundated with sound and noise and it's
becoming increasingly more difficult to experience true
SILENCE. Taking a walk in the woods is ideal, but not
everyone has the time or the opportunity to do that.
So, I have found it helpful to create silent times during
my everyday activities. One of my favorite silent times
is driving in my car. Instead of turning on the radio
or listening to music, I drive in silence and open myself
up to my inner creative voice that can easily be heard
when I consciously create the environment.
Begin To Eliminate Negativity From Your Life
A good way to start is by filtering your exposure
to the so-called "News." (Dr. Andrew Weil suggests
going on a 2-week news fast!) The media sensationalizes
and feeds us a diet of fear-based reports. When we continually
expose ourselves to this type of negativity, it begins
to affect our attitudes about ourselves and our environment.
An easy way to begin is to join the World Peace Experiment
by agreeing to say "Only Love Prevails" each
time you hear a negative report in the news or
when you perceive a negative event occurring. This
sends positive energy to a perceived negative event
and also puts you in a non-judgmental observer
role.
Sign up for the World Peace Experiment at www.onlyloveprevails.org.
It's free. It's easy. It takes only minutes a day! It
will help you attain inner peace. The outer is merely
a reflection of the inner. Peace in the world can only
be attained when enough of us (critical mass) reach
a state of inner peace.
Start Using Your MUTE Button on Commercials
Become aware of the impact of "manipulative advertising" on
your self esteem. No matter what they're selling, these
types of commercials all have the same underlying message, "You
are not good enough unless you buy this product".
This message is delivered directly to our unconscious
with highly sophisticated techniques. Use your "mute" button
during commercials and limit your exposure to these
disempowering messages.
Pay Attention To Your Thoughts
Our thoughts create our reality. Consciously start paying
attention to any negative or limiting thought that crosses
your mental screen and when you spot them, ask that
they be transformed. My Free Yourself from Fear booklet
that explains this simple process in detail can be printed
out at openheartpress.com.
Clear Yourself Often
Use any method that works for you to clear yourself from
negative or low energy. The process I use is the Rainbow
Clearing Process described below. Often we take on energy
from others as we move through our day. Your goal is
to stay in your own energy. The Rainbow Clearing Process
can be used easily to remove energy that is not yours.
Develop An Attitude of Gratitude
An easy way to start consciously shifting into gratitude
is by silently reciting a litany of things for which
you are thankful every time something happens to upset
you (i.e., I am thankful for my beautiful family, for
my health, for my loving friends, etc.) You will immediately
find yourself lifted out of the limiting emotional energy
of anger into a state of gratitude and grace.
