Dr. Wayne Dyer

Yesterday Wayne Dyer flowed into a new existence.  His books assisted in beginning my path to meditation. His encouragement to think differently and realize that you are what you think, opened my mind to greater things. Take a moment to just read some of the thoughts he presented and you may also find greater awareness. Namaste Dr. Dyer and to you as well.

Finding The Good In Others

Seeking out the positive instead of the negative can often be very difficult.  What I find disturbing for me personally is how often I am willing to do it for those I do not know well but less likely to do it for those closer to me.  Being judgmental seems so easy when you love someone and I don't really understand why.  Today let's focus on remembering the good that surrounds us, leaving the negative behind.

Will Power

Having the will to change is something that I struggle with.  Often my mind says yes we have to do this and for awhile the rest of me goes along.  However, more often than not it appears that I am not ready to change because I fall back into my old ways. Meditation has been luckily one of those things where my mind has won so far.  Now through meditation I am encouraging my will to improve and help me to change in other ways.  It only takes one step that is repeated until it becomes your normal. Close your eyes, breath deeply and make it so.

Namaste

Often at the bottom of my post on the blog you will see the word Namaste.  It is used often in the world of meditation and yoga.  As you see it is a word of honor and respect.  When you meditate you loose anger and pain and are more open to a greater appreciation of those around you.  You begin to understand that we are all the same no matter our physical appearance.  We are the energy of the universe and ultimately must help each other as we pass through this life.  So today open your heart and mind to the universe that is us.

Dealing With Pain, part 2

This statement is why I am now meditating.  I needed to do something different to help with my chronic pain.  Meditation takes you away from your body and can often help you heal.  It allows you to focus and take deep breaths that can provide more oxygen to your cells.  I often have mornings of pain but starting with meditation aids in improving my state of mind.  Remember if chronic pain is part of your world that others understand and that allowing the flow of meditation can help.

Breathing

Following your breath is a useful method in helping to center your mind in meditation.  Beginning with deep breaths can assist in clearing your mind and then you can go back to normal breathing.  Doing this provides great benefits and can improve your meditation practice.  Take a deep breath.  Inhale joy and exhale pain and worry.

Actions Speak Louder

Thinking about my weekend, I realized that I had done something in front of my daughter that all of us probably do but should not.  I ridiculed something someone else had done and involved her in it.  It was not intentionally mean but it was definitely not showing her a good example on how to treat people. I would not want others to talk about things I had done in that way.  We all find fault with others on occasion but that doesn't make it right. Today while I meditate, I will be opening my mind and heart to improving in this area and will be apologizing to my daughter for not practicing what I preach.
