"Beam me up Scotty" MOM's take on Meditation

Plugging into a higher source, physical stillness, witnessing thoughts, releasing stress, daily mini-vacation from challenges, recharging mind, resting, finding answers, holding hands with your soul...

What would you pay for PEACE-OF-MIND? The good news is credit cards are not necessary, only a little bit of discipline can positively change your life forever.

In my Mind Over Matters Workshop, I introduce the many forms of meditation: seated, moving, contemplative and laughing. The wise sages realized there are many paths to the same oasis. 

Dr. Candace Pert while working at the National Institute of Health revealed to the world that humans think sixty-thousand thoughts every day. Every thought releases a chemical into the body. The chemical released by negative thoughts eventually causes dis-ease. The positive thoughts support the body. 

So, here we are living life and swimming in a soup of chemicals. The novice meditator will begin to observe the thoughts rising up into the mind. In the beginning it can be off-putting but this is actually a service. 

RULE # 1 to live a happier life: Possessing a proactive, productive attitude. We live our life as control freaks. And are like boxers in a ring being knocked around when outside forces wreak havoc on our life. The only control we actually have is the big "A" ~ our attitude.  

We only can alter our attitudes if we understand the need for this change. A meditator brings more consciousness into life. This consciousness becomes attitude adjusters.

Why not take 5 minutes everyday and initiate your meditation practice? You can even begin with my seated, deep relaxation. (Click on my photo on right-side.)

In future posts I'll be guiding you in the various meditation techniques. I'll be waving my silvery, light-sparked, cosmic pom-poms with a huge grin as I cheer you on towards your inner peace. Stay-tuned... life is a wondrous, spirit-filled journey.
