Mind, body, and spirit

Meditation is great! It gives us a way to explore a whole new world and to understand the one in which we live when done properly. I have still been on my journey. It has been a long hard road. I have had many many trials over the past year or so. I have decided that I will move west in order to gain clarity of mind. In order to meditate, your mind must first be quiet and it is very difficult when everything surrounding the mind is noisy. The only way to achieve what I am trying to achieve is to surround myself with a more positive environment. Sometimes we have to make drastic changes in order to grow and learn. When speaking about meditation, we often focus on the mind and spirit. It is very important to keep in tune with our bodies as well. If out bodies are not healthy it is very difficult to utilize the full potential of our minds. Always make sure that you take care of your body because in this particular life it is the only one that you have. In the meantime here are some cool facts about our bodies:

Struggles

Hey,

This personal journey has been more difficult than I ever imagined it would be. I strongly believe in the power of collective consciousness. However, when things are constantly being thrown at you from every angle, it becomes easy to lose focus.

I understand more and more every day, how you can block positive energy (blessings, etc.) with negative energy. This could be a by-product of fear, doubt, etc. The key I guess is to clear your mind of all thoughts or as many as possible because any stray thought can trip you up.

I just hope that I figure this thing out before life becomes too overwhelming and I get caught up in the same trap that many others have fallen into. I do not want to go through life in a perpetual dream state like the majority of people across the world. I am ready to wake up and see life not just for what it is, but what it could become.

The Road Less Traveleved

Hey all,

My patience has really been tested lately. Trying to walk an enlightened path can be very difficult when there are so many things thrown at you at once. I am trying to see the lesson involved with the things that I am going through but I cannot. It is hard not to judge people when they can be mean and manipulative. I mean, I know that I should not view others this way but I am a realist. I am not at the point yet where I can just shut things off. Every day presents a different challenge as if I have done something wrong and honestly I can't figure out what that might be.

Well, we are going on vacation soon. I am hoping to gain a moment of clarity so that I can focus on what I need to do. I tried to meditate tonight and all I could think about were the current problems in my life. This stuff is hard. I am trying to keep my energy positive. However, when there is so much negativity around you, there isn't much that can be done. Does anyone have any words of advice? Well, I hope your days are going much better that mine have been.

How Do I Meditate

Many people ask this question (as I have and still do). However, I am learning that there is no "One size fits all" when it comes to meditation. I think the most important thing is to have a quiet place to do it and to sit up. Do not lie down or you may end up falling asleep. Also, it is a good idea to do it when you are fully awake and have no distractions. Turn your phone off and put the kids to bed. You want to make sure that your mind is as clear as it can be. If it isn't, keep trying until you get it.

I am still learning and as I go through my journey I will let you know what I learn. These are some fundamentals but as I said "There is no right or wrong way to do this." I am saying this because I had gotten discouraged from doing this at first because I felt that I was doing it wrong. So go ahead..nothing beats a failure but a try!

I did it!

Hey all, I just meditated last night thanks to a friend who sent me some awesome CDs! It was really enlightening but I overslept because I got a bit too relaxed..lol. I can't wait to do it again today! The more and more I do this, the more and more I will become elevated. I really do believe that I am the master of my own destiny now! I do not think that this takes any power away from God or who he is. On the contrary..it shows his power.

I am excited about my life and the direction that it is taking. Please tell me what is going on in your lives. I see many views but no comments yet..don't be shy.

So I tried it #meditation

Hey, I tried meditation. It will take a lot more practice but hey..that's what makes it perfect right? I did manage to relax. I also Youtubed things like Reiki and Hypnosis and they helped me as well. I think it is important to learn to relax so that you can focus and clear you mind. That is going to be my solid starting point. I need to manifest things in my life but I need to clear my energy to allow positive things to flow through me and my life. I am excited about the path my life has taken and I am happy to share great things with you! Please feel free to do the same! #anchorman #newsnight #weneedgod #NYC

Roadblock

Hey all,
While trying to walk a spiritual path, I have stumbled the past few days. My traditional ways of thinking keep creeping back in. This is a learning process and I and I am trying to figure out what that lesson might be.
I need a clear mind so that I can keep positive energy flowing but bad things have been happening left and right. Sometimes I work these things out by talking about it, others..not so much.
I will be trying my best to meditate today (I say try because I am still learning to do this and it is new to me). I can definitely benefit from some intense spiritual healing!
Well, I will let you all know how my session goes. Hopefully I will gain some insight into all of this. Take care!

Trayvon Martin

Hey all, What do you think about the Trayvon Martin case? It saddens me to think that someone can just take a life without even thinking twice about it. As human beings, we have an obligation to take care of one another, not to ends a life. This was not just sad for this young man, it is s for our nation. As Americans, we need to rethink our priorities. As a human race, we need to rethink our place in this world and understand that no one is better or worse than anyone else. Why do we play God so much? I am not asking anyone to be Mother Theresa or the Pope, just decent towards humanity. We all have to answer for what we do someday as well as how we affected people on Earth, be it positive or negative. We are only on Earth for a short time. Let's make it count!

Vision

It's a dreary day out today and it's cold. Some nice hot coffee sounds great right now. My husband and I pulled out our vision boards just to give an added source of inspiration. If you don't know what a vision board is, you should Google it. It's a great way to put your dreams in front of you in physical form. It helps you visualize what you want in life. This does not take away from the gratitude you should have for the things you already possess. However, there is nothing wrong with wanting the very best for yourself as long as you don't hurt anyone to get it. Also check out the book or the movie "The Secret". It explains a lot about manifestation. Well, just wanted to drop a few lines before I continue with my day. I hope you day is positive and fun!

Interesting Day

Today was a bit of a challenge. It had a pretty rough beginning but it is getting better now. My energy has been a bit drained today..not just in terms of fatigue but just annoyance. I live in New Jersey and it is very easy to get annoyed and stressed here but I am learning little by little to stop and relax my mind. I am learning to be careful what and who I allow into my space. I do not want my energy to be contaminated and I think that is important. I am looking forward to great things to come and when something bad happens, I just think of how things will be as opposed to just how they are. I mentioned before to live in the moment but you also need to know when you need to see beyond your current situation when you het stuck in a rut, it is all about balance I guess. As I said, I am learning too and I am glad that things are now being revealed to me and a better side of life is making itself known. Until next time!

Where is your tomorrow?

Greetings all, it is such a nice day out! There is such great energy around right now. I am in a great place today and I am challenging myself to remain that way no matter what. One day at a time though because each day brings on new challenges. I do not want to overwhelm myself with thinking too far ahead. I also believe that each day is deserving of it's own attention. That does not mean that you should not plan..but of you keep living each day for the future, you will never get where you want to go. Who is to say when the future actually arrives? Exactly when is this future that we so covet? Is is a week from now? A month? Five years? Who is to say that you will even be here? where is your planning now? What I have been learning is to live in the moment. As I said, you should still plan for the future but you should not give too much energy to it. If I had to quantify it, I would say about 25% or so depending on. The reason that our present is deserving of so much attention is simply because we are in it! How bad has life become that we are always focused on tomorrow to the point where we are not mentally present in the present? Take hold of yourself and say "I am here today!" ask yourself "What can I do to make today better for myself and those around me?" Remember, this is not to nullify the importance of our future, it is to focus on oneself where it matters most. Do I dislike the future? Oh no..I look forward to it! I just do not want to give it all of my energy. Theoretically, if you focus more on what you are doing now, the future will fall into place. Am I a crusher of dreams? Not at all! There are so many things and experiences that I want and will have. I want you to dream..and dream BIG! But don't leave your head stuck in the clouds so much that you forget to look down :-)

The Murky Path

Hey all..well, I have been reading these cool books about meditation as well as past and between life regression. One is called Enki's Story by Gordon Gatiss and the other is Journey of Souls by Michael Newton. I have finished these but now I am reading Destiny of Souls by Michael Newton. These books are radical and have challenged how I view myself and others.

I still have my struggles but these books are helping me to deal with things better because I am seeing the bigger picture. Knowing that there are possibly other lives and worlds out there is really awesome and I now have a thirst for knowledge that I haven't had since I was in college. I encourage you to purchase or borrow these books and you will understand.

This blog is about my new journey towards self-awareness and a higher consciousness. Join me as I learn more about this round thing we live on and what lies within and beyond.
