Plethora of Everything

These are meant to do, visualize and practice  daily, ideally one per day. Go Easy on Yourself I am not my thoughts. Worries, preoccupations leave my mind. I see negative thoughts leaving my mind, floating off into the distance like a soft, evaporating haze. I see the worries disappear into thin air.  I release that which no longer serves me. I breathe in love and breathe out peace to the world. I am not my thoughts. Only goodness is permitted in my thinking space. I appreciate experiences and moments. I am present. Trust the Universe, God, Life... I allow life to carry me, as the leaf allows the river to carry it. The leaf is so  light , it flows with the river.  The leaf may stick to a rock here and there and that's fine. As the river flows, life flows. As the leaf is carried along  gently, easily  and  effortlessly  by the river, so too am I carried along gently, easily and effortlessly by  Life....

This is a continuation of former blog on perception: 'Manipulating' is a strong word, which is precisely why I chose it for the title of this post. Influence especially by cunning is one definition for 'manipulate' in Webster's Dictionary. And that's kind of what we have to do when working to alter our perception; be cunning, cleverly tricking our psyche into thinking differently, perceiving our world and selves differently. Anyone who says manipulating perception is easy is either lying or is extremely practiced at it, or both! In my experience it's a lifestyle, a constant work in progress. At times I feel I've made no progress in the arena of changing my perception, and this is exactly when I'm reminded to work on my perception-altering practices. An example: this past Wednesday morning we received a call from our landlord, he said people were complaining about our bird being too noisy. We were stunned and confused. I've had little Guap...

As human beings at times we struggle, stress and worry about how to achieve things, many things. Some may be as simple as, "How will I find time to go to the grocery tonight; I have to work late but really need food!" Others issues may be more complex like, "I need to find a new job but where do I begin? I don't have any skills needed to do what I want" or "I'm tired of being alone. I'm anxious and worried I'll never meet the right person, and what if when I do meet the person I push him/her away because of my own issues?" If you're plagued with some worry please be reminded: All is as it should be in the Natural World . The natural world refers to the one not burdened by our own feelings, thoughts, worries, insecurities and fears. The world outside.The world outside ourselves is very therapeutic. When your mind is heavy with thought, worry or insecurity please go sit or stand outside and do this meditation/visualization: Try to ...

What do you think about most of the time? On your days off, on your break at work or even while you're working, what's going through your mind? Most likely you're thinking about upcoming dates, what needs to get done, where you need to be, things to be accomplished by You . We all must plan, logically. There are many, many things to do, always. However let us contemplate: when focusing all of your energy and thought on what you should be doing, or what you are doing, accomplishing, etc., you're cutting off the chance to be in tune with the source of True Energy and knowledge in this world, this universe. You are so focused on the details of your day, week, month, etc., so busy thinking, always, that you disconnect from that which can truly let you be your best, and do your best. You can refer to it as your Higher Self, Universal Light, God, whatever you so desire. The name doesn't matter. Choose what is comfortable for you. What's important is- true intuitio...
