Take care of your own vibration!
If you’re reading this for the first time, you probably don’t know that I’m a lover of personal growth. Not only because of what I have been able to achieve by discovering my own problems and blocks, but because of what I have seen done in other lives! The other day I was reading about mediation. You see, meditation is one of those things that spiritual leaders and shamans have been doing for centuries! But I have to admit that it is one of those things that I have a hard time maintaining and doing on a daily basis. What happens when I meditate is that I want to go to sleep or my mind goes crazy with thoughts of the day or the day before and then I know I didn’t do the meditation correctly and I have to start over!
I have a feeling that meditation is a BIG part, if not the most important, in creating the life you want. The key here is to first get out of your mind (head, thoughts, thought). The mind has a great way of trying to make you constantly think about what will happen, what could happen, what should happen due to fear of something not so good happening! It is the rational mind’s way of trying to protect itself. When what we are here to experience is fearlessness! You see, most people (and I’ve been this person too) can’t control their vibration long enough to achieve their goals. There is always something that gets in the way, be it an old flame, a family member who hurt you, a teacher, your spouse, a client, the dog, etc. You understand me.
The important thing here is to learn to live from a place of not thinking, but feeling and listening to your intuition and what it is telling you. This means learning to BE vs. to always have opinions, ideas, thoughts, judgments and concerns about everyone and everything. For me, when it comes to waiting to have children it’s because it seems more and more difficult to live from this place of “trust” and fidelity when you have children and care about them. The least important thing a father can do for his child is to WORRY! But again, this is NOT easy. What is important when it comes to manifesting your dreams is to take care of your own vibration on a daily basis. I’ve heard it said before from one of the fathers of Personal Growth, “Earl Nightingale”. His great quote is this: “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.” And you have to learn to take care of your vibration (ie thoughts) long enough and long enough; to achieve the desires of your heart.
The higher vibrations of joy, enthusiasm, success, gratitude, love and appreciation that you are no longer stuck in the mind talk. That’s why there are jobs vs. business owners, people waiting for the economy to improve or for a handout, vs. creating your own results. Most of the time, when I’m at work and working my job, I’m waiting for someone or something else to make it a “good” day. But when I owned my business, I knew I was the ONLY person who could do that for me. He taught me self-sufficiency. And that’s something you can’t buy! Here are some ways to get into the rhythm of meditation.
1. Take a shower in the morning before sitting down to meditate. The morning is usually when the mind is most rested, and sometimes you can relax even more into your meditation by doing this task first.
2. Take a moment to get comfortable, but don’t lie down. Lying down usually leads to falling asleep and you want to relax your mind during your meditation, not go completely into a REM state!
3. Have a stopwatch nearby and start your mediation at 10 minutes. You can always increase that number later, but the key here is to start small and grow from there.
4. Try to hold a stone or something tangible in your hands when you meditate. Many times feeling something in your hands helps you not to think so much.
5. Keep going until you feel like you’re doing it right. don’t give up Even when it gets tough and you think you can’t do it, this is often the best time to keep going because you’re retraining your brain.
Health,
