Letting go of old fears

I've been listening to Dr. Wayne Dyer's Book The Power of Intention on CD. I had started the book and got half way through when I ended up reading another book. I've meant to get back to the book but haven't. I was very pleased when a friend gave me the CD. It was another sign I need to read this book.
I'm almost through with it and I definitely encourage everyone to read or listen to this. I find listening to him is even more empowering, using my sense of hearing.

There is so much that can be said about this book that is too lengthy to discuss on a blog, but each time I listen to a section I'm immediately drawn to my life and how what he is saying applies to it or how I can apply what he is saying. It's so moving.

One thing for sure I know is I need to work on my affirmations. I've been doing well so far and yet I think I should concentrate on only a few at a time. I have a tendency to become scattered and now my new affirmation for this is. I am calm and able to concentrate on any situation with ease.

My body is over weight which has bothered me since I was about twelve years old. The odd thing is when I was twelve years old I really wasn't over weight. Yet this is when I began to think I was. This is when I began to diet and exercise and so forth to shed the unwanted pounds that seriously wasn't there. This was in my mind however, planted firmly by well meaning friends, family members and media.

Listening to Dr. Wayne Dyer has helped me to realize that I am NOT my body. I am perfectly created. So with that in mind I am feeling better about myself. I am also taking a look at my list of things that I want to do and on this list I have wanted to learn Yoga since I was a teen. I would watch the poses and see the look of serenity on their faces and think, Wow I'd like to do that. So why haven't I learned it you ask? Because of well meaning family members telling me that it is a religion and to stay away from it. The same well meaning friends telling me that meditation is basically evil and you need to pray not meditate. Which I stayed away from meditation too.

But I always wanted to learn to meditate and I wanted to learn Yoga. So now that I began to release the undesired ropes holding me down I started meditation first. I will be honest I was worried at first but my overwhelming desire to meditate and bring a sense of calmness, peace to my troubled mind outweighed my “fears”. What I found was truly an amazing place to be in. When I meditate I find the peace I need.

I was telling a friend the other day of one of my first experiences meditating. It was perhaps my fourth or fifth time. I was reading a great book the Master Key System. And I was trying to bring about nothingness, the absence of thought. Which isn't easy but I was able to do this several times for split seconds. Then soon I relaxed and began to float in my mind. I was repeating the words “I'm in unity with the Universe.” in my mind. Softly spoken in my thoughts, repeatedly. Suddenly everything just became white washed, the only way I can describe it. I felt myself floating in my mind and body, swaying back and forth on this sea of white. I felt suddenly connected to everyone and everything. I was calmly connected in this vast sea of white. It was very beautiful to feel and I felt so connected in such a soothing way. It was as if I belonged and I knew I belonged.

It is in the silence that we hear God speak to us.

So now... I'm also planning on learning Yoga.

Fear

Today I was checking my facebook page and I ran across a link a friend had posted and I was struck but the "Fear" factor in the video. Fear that the end of the world is coming and Fear that you will be left behind.

I want to give thanks to God, to the Universe, that I no longer live in fear. I know there is no end of the world. I know that I am eternal. I am grateful for the love and joy that lives in me. Thankful for the restoration that is moving through me, connecting me to God, to my source.

I am grateful and thankful that I live in love without fear. That I live my intentions now and I know that I am an infinite being that is in Unity with God, Our Source. Thank you for all the teachers who I have been in contact with, who have aided me in becoming truly free. Thank you.

I do not seek God because of fear. I seek God and enlightenment because I desire the connection. I am who I will to be. Thank you!

Being Connected and Abundance

Lately I see and have been reading about being connected. This seems to be a big focus right now. So my mind has been thinking of thoughts of how we all are connected. My meditations have revolved around being connected to the Universe and to each other.

Also abundance is coming to me repeatedly and to my daughter. I'm filled with joy because I know joy is within me to draw upon and when I get validation it only further strengthens my joy. Such as I have finished writing a book. It's a fictional book and it is something of a dream, goal of mine. So to see it starting to unfold is only a validation of my dreams coming true, so now other things are happening in my life that too are small validations. I see signs all over the place that my life is unfolding the way i want it, I only have to see it and give thanks. I'm so very happy and excited that I am me!

So I plan to be the best me there is!

Meditation - Again

I'm on a journey of self discovery. Some times I do not realize I'm on this journey and other times it's quite apparent. I like to visit Enchanted Games on myLifetime.com to read the positive affirmations. I have noticed that recently when I actually do sit and focus before I click on a card, I'm receiving virtually the same ones, often. The one that stands out the most I'm receiving is “I take time to meditate daily”

I brought up mediating several times and it is seriously becoming a wonderful part of my life. I'm actually enjoying the feeling of quieting my thoughts. I have also discovered that meditating is different each time I do so. Some times it's just a calming experience, while other times it's a calming euphoric experience.

Some simple steps I am using to meditate. First I make sure there is no distractions around me. TV off and even music. I sit or lay on my bed. I relax my body take a few deep breaths. Then I simply focus on clearing my mind. Now it sounds funny, but that is exactly what I do, concentrate on clearing my mind. I say things in my mind, “Clearing my thoughts.” Which I repeat a few times until I feel my concentration is literally on these words and nothing else. Then I take another step, “I'm one with the Universe.” or “I'm one with the Holy Spirit.” Which I repeat over and over, but it's a very relaxed voice I use in my head and I visualize nothing but a blank, white slate and there is a soft drifting or swaying back and forth in my mind of floating in this cosmic stream of unity.

Once I am this relaxed state I do positive affirmations, or I begin to use gratitude statements, thanking the Universe for my life. Sometimes I just allow my mind to drift and I watch and see where my thoughts lead me.

One thing for sure, this is a positive step forward in my journey of self discovery.

We're all connected

Right now I've been reading several different books and something I notice I'm being led back to is that we're all connected. So my concentration the last few weeks seem to be on being connected.

It is amazing when you think about it, because we are all connected and those of us who are disconnected are still connected they just don't know it. So it's good to remind people that they are not alone and that we are all connected. Even connected those people we don't want to be connected with.

I think once we understand we are connected and we don't want to be connected to another for whatever reason(s) we need to realize we are still connected and that's where forgiveness plays in.

Meditation

I'm really learning to love meditation. It never ceases to amaze me the differences in my days from the day I do meditate compared to when I don't meditate.

I'm really an advocate on quieting the mind and slowing down all the numerous thoughts that spread throughout our minds.

The days I meditate, I am more calm, at ease and far more focused than on the days I don't. So I challenge everyone to try to meditate frequently and see what changes you notice.
