Meditation Is For Everyone
Meditation is a wonderful technique to reduce stress. It is commonly used with the aim of reducing anxiety, stress and depression. Reducing stress has the potential to improve your quality of life. It’s believed to improve health and that reduces healthcare costs.
Meditation is basically a spiritual practice to focus the mind on a object, activity or thought. The goal is to achieve a clear, calm and relaxed state. Meditation involves a state of awareness in which the stress activity of the mind is neutralized.
Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years in religious traditions and spiritual belief systems. Since the 19th century, it has spread from its mostly Eastern origins to other cultures, where it is practiced today in both personal and professional settings. Meditation is not a form or prayer. Meditation is awareness. Awareness is meditation.
How To Interpret Signs From Spirit
We sometimes ask for signs from the Universe, or from our loved ones, guides or angels. But we aren’t always sure when, and even if we are receiving them. And when we do receive them, sometimes we are not sure what they actually mean. How does one recognize and interpret a sign?
Signs can come in so many different ways, shapes and forms, and are sometimes so mundane and subtle they are easy to miss, and dismiss. Some common signs you may be familiar with include feathers, pennies, butterflies, rainbows, numbers, and so on. But unless you find a feather on your pillow, a butterfly in your car, or some pennies in your shoe, you might just write it off as coincidence.
Lose The Blues With A Gratitude List!
We’ve all been there. Either you wake up grumpy, or you find yourself in that miserable mindset by the end of the day. And sometimes we choose to settle into a state of dissatisfaction, anger, pessimism, frustration or depression for days, or even longer.
Feeling like that one may become easily irritated with people, situations and even yourself. Everything just feels off, and you’re not sure what could possibly fix it… short of winning a major lottery? And even then, would that really help?
At times there may be medical issues or serious psychological causes at the root of these emotionally ‘down days,’ but often we simply need a shift in our attitude! Yes, I know, you’ve heard it all before. But it’s easier said than done, right?
Perfectly Imperfect
There are no people on this Earth who are 100% perfect. Each one of us has flaws. Everyone has emotional wounds and physical imperfections. These flaws, wounds, scars and imperfections are what make us uniquely different from each other. It is what makes each one of us beautiful.
Virtually everyone also has some issue with self-esteem. Many of us dislike some parts of our physical body. We all get pimples, stretch marks, or have food stuck in our teeth from time to time. The list of perceived imperfections is infinite. So, who are we to judge others? Everyone has something about them they dislike, or want to improve or change. Even the most beautiful people in the world get sunburns, cuts, rashes, bad haircuts, stomach aches, digestive problems, and on and on. We need to remember, the relationship isn’t with the body, but with the soul. Bodies age. Bodies never last forever. Souls are where our true value is found.
We Are All Equally Spiritual
There is so much terminology and discussion about what it means to be ‘spiritual.’ There are both religious and other esoteric practices that people use, and entire languages developed around spirituality. While I personally believe that much of this is good, it can also often lead to things like elitism and greater polarization of people and groups.
So, the question today is: what does it mean to be spiritual? The answer is far simpler than some might believe, simply because of the original meaning of the term ‘spirit.’
In the Western world much of our religious tradition comes from Greek or Hebrew esoteric writings. In Greek the term for spirit is pneuma, and in Hebrew it is ruach. These are transliterations of the original words.
Stepping Into Your Higher Vibration Upgrade
There are more and more energy shifts happening. They are coming more frequently and more intensely. People are having physical and emotional reactions, and not understanding, for which Source has given me this guidance.
As we start to raise our frequency and align with a higher vibration, we start to connect with the non-physical more. This is when we start to have our multi-senses open up. This is what we refer to as our ‘gifts.’ They are not gifts, they are who we are. We all have second sight, second hearing, and more evolved senses of feeling. We just all have it tuned to different levels. We do not use the term gifts, because this is who you are, it is your true nature to be able to tap into all that is, because you are all that is.
Easy Ways To Master The Art Of Meditation
Meditation is recommended for everyone. Not only does it offer incredible benefits for clarity of mind and overall well-being, it’s also a powerful spiritual tool to help us navigate our lives. But, getting started with a meditation practice can be hard!
I often hear people say they can’t meditate, or they tried meditating, but they became too distracted. “I can’t seem to clear my mind,” they might say. Many beginners struggle with this idea that in order to ‘properly’ meditate, one must sit motionless, eyes closed, and clear your mind of all thoughts. Failure to do so means that you have ‘failed’ to meditate.
The truth is, meditation is called a practice, because it really does take practice. Actually clearing your mind is not an easy task. I suggest people begin a meditation routine in one of two ways: guided meditation, or nature meditation.
