How to Meditate

Practice each day, if possible at the same time and same place for awhile until you feel like you’ve got it.

Set an intention to be surrounded in love and peace 
Sit up.
Breathe normally.
Relax.
Be aware of your inhalation and exhalation.
Notice your thoughts..

Your thoughts are not a failure in the meditation process.Watch your thoughts and emotions that come up. This is a meditation too!
Bring yourself back to focusing on your breath for about a minute.
Repeat as often as needed without punishing or condemning yourself.
The minds natural clarity is never interrupted.
This is mindful meditation.
Once you have bypassed thoughts more regularly, look behind the mind’s eye and notice:
how you feel throughout your body, around your body,
the colors or swirls,
the geometric  shapes,
the pictures fully formed or half formed, add thoughts of what they might be, in color or not, a flash or like a movie screen,
the sounds: voices, yours or someone else, tones, music, lyrics,
and pay attention to what you know and again what you think.
Every thought, every picture, sound, word, feeling is important.
Be aware of everything! Let the sounds around you, planes flying above, noises in nature or in your home, tummy gurgles or pains in the body, voices nearby, even loud banging, drop you deeper into yourself.  Let it be a signal to go even deeper.
Did you make it up?
If you have gotten passed the ego’s sabotage of your spirit meditation, you can be sure that you are now creating with your Higher Self.
How do you know? 
You feel good and you feel balanced and peaceful even when you are pondering difficult thoughts or experiences.  You will stay connected to your Higher Self.  You will like the feeling and maintain the connection.
Getting Answers
You can even ask yourself questions. Some people would rather ask a guardian.  Either way your intention is to connect with a Higher Voice that comes from within.  The Guardians connect within and through you.

Year 2014 – The Seven Year

 

 2014 -The Seven Year!

    

      I am very excited about this year.  If you add up the 2, the 0, the 1, and the 4, you get a 7.   Seven is a lovely, graceful number.  It is all about the sacred.  It is the beautiful oneness of all things.  With the seven we are connected and harmonizing with each other and the world.  But, we have to activate the Law of Attraction here.  That means if you want to be in harmony and have the beautiful balanced  life you have always dreamed of, then you must watch your words, your thoughts, your feelings and actions.  They create your reality.  Come on, Lightworkers!  Haven’t you been practicing this for awhile?  It’s time to live it out and for a year of mastery.  Make your peace dreams happen for yourself and others.  Mother earth needs us now.  Our families need us as role models, leaders, harmonizers.  One catch, with positive seven you have grace, beauty and balance, but with negative seven, you feel shut down, mistrustful, over indulgent, even lazy.

     Trust is the key word here.  Go inside and believe in your Divinity.  Know what you desire.  See and feel the blessings of beauty within you, the oneness with all things, the subtle and the mystery that links you with the essence of who you really are.  Trust that everything happening to you is for a positive reason, for your highest growth and in it’s right timing.  Believe you have the power as you are linked to an unlimited force!

Ivy Moon is here again! Are your relationships in balance?

This is the time to honor your relationships.  Are you being supportive and interdependent or are you too wrapped up and codependent?  It’s taken me my whole life to see how codependence can slip into everyday life with others like a virus. The Ivy is not a parasite.  It does not feed directly off its host but uses it only as a means of support.

Talk to me about the state of your relationship.

And/or I would also love to hear about your relationship with Source.

Also go to Wendy’s Blog and scroll down and take a look at the notes on Ivy Moon last year for more insights…

Time for Gratitude! New Moon in Vine (Grapevine/Blackberry)

This is a wonderful moon vibration to be conscious of all that we have created in our lives.  Our work for the year has come to fruition.

Enjoy your earthly riches of your life:  the people, your environment, your awakened knowing.  You have grown and  matured and are ready for your next conscious creation!  What will you create?

Grapevine Moon relates to the astrological sign of Virgo and Libra. She is beauty, and earthly graciousness. Completion and ripeness exists! Pluck it off and savor the flavor! I look forward to Grapevine’s return each year. Celebrate what your have learned, created, and  opened up to. See in gratitude who has shown up for you and how you have shown up for yourself this year! Look around you and see what you manifested with Earth Mother’s help.

Picked these in my yard today!

Hazel Moon is back!

This is the moon month to follow your inner truth.  You have the answers.  Let your own Higher Self be the guide.

I have already been challenged by a family member to engage me into something that I feel is simply not for me.  The invitation was sweet and appealing, but I felt obviously alerted by my own inner faith that I will be going against my sense of self.  I felt very pleased with myself to have created a positive boundary that allowed us both to be in our inner truth.  If I’m not really into it, then he won’t really either.  Does this sound familiar?  I would love to hear from you!

I am also interested in hearing how you maintain your Faith in Spirit.

Holly Moon is a Holy Moon

Holly tree belonged to the underground Goddess Holle and its red berries were seen as drops of her life-giving blood, in which lay the secret of the tree’s immortality or year-round greenness.

Holly branches, leaves and berries were used during the holy season.  Holly brings holiness to one’s consciousness.  Relate to the Great Creator/Creatress of All Life with reverence, respect, love and honor.

Holly brings out the maturing warrioress who stands for what is right and good.  It is a tree of protection and strength.

This moon is energetic.  She teaches of healthy egos, self confidence, recognition, and the power of truth, commitment and approachability.

Communicate with me how you are maintaining a healthy ego and if you are challenged, I’m sure others could benefit in knowing they are not the only ones!

Harmony in Relationships

It is yours for the taking! Harmony comes first from within, of course. Your light within and around you IS Love and Harmony. This you must be confident about!

After all, how can you be in harmony with another when you’re in conflict with yourself? Make an inventory of your attachments – old attitudes, old habits, sometimes even old friends – energies that may best be left behind. Time to shed all illusions about our partners as well! Unrealistic expectations about your partner can stress you out! Unconditional love feels good and promotes patience which allows for positive change and growth.

Create an intimate relationship with your partner with both of you acknowledging that your union is a spiritual journey and a sacred one. Together you are peacemakers learning to overlook what is not seemingly perfect, surrendering and resetting to a new positive intention repeatedly. How are you both in service to spirit and how is your partnership a direct example of your own personal partnership with Divine Source, God/Goddess?
