Re: Spiritual Preparedness - simple practices and meditations to increase self-awareness
Been practicing since orig. post, see major improvement.

Thank you to whoever it was who left this comment along with a green thumb for me.

Practical and positive change is due to experimenting with spiritual concepts and practices, that is how we find out what is authentic and real, what works and what doesn't. There is no magic wand, no guru who can do the work for us - we are our own masters and need to learn how to step into our own power. Comments like yours make running this thread feel worthwhile :)

Thanks for posting this. I've had it bookmarked for a while, but today I finally had the time to just go through and read all the material. I really needed to ground myself after an intense confrontation with some close friends that occurred last weekend, and this has definitely helped with that.

Glad there are suggestions here that might practically help you to deal with current situations. Clashing with friends is distressing. Check out the first link of my signature too - if the traits you are clashing against are unreasonable then the descriptions there are validating. 2nd link leads to toolbox with suggestions on how to deal with folk who are being difficult. hf

Re: Spiritual Preparedness - simple practices and meditations to increase self-awareness
For some keeping the body relaxed and still in sitting or lying down meditation is challenging.

Qi Gong is a way to bring mindful awareness into movement. Here is a link to a basic Qi Gong movement, I will post others from the series in future posts or you can find them on youtube.

Re: Spiritual Preparedness - simple practices and meditations to increase self-awareness
Happy New Year. May this year be the one where many more cease their searching for answers without and through more self-reflection and mindfulness practice, begin to find them within.

Back in the 80's and 90's I followed a very positive and authentic spiritual path. The teachings and values I learned from that time has gone on to have a positive spiritual influence on all my life choices. One of the elders who taught me was a very wise old lady, she is now 97 years old and this is her message of peace for 2012:-


Dear Friends,

On the threshold of 2012 we are uncertain about what time may hold for us. Ours is a time in which there are two energies at work: an ascending energy and a descending energy.

We are reminded constantly of the descending energy and its destabilizing effects on the world, increasing feelings of fear, anxiety and hopelessness.

Perhaps less visible, but assuredly more powerful, is the ascending energy. Like new growth below the ground in late winter, ascending energy is working quietly in the hearts and minds of people everywhere, shaping a new story. We see it in the surge of those seeking spiritual truth and in the hundreds of thousands of civil society organizations requesting transparency, authenticity, and a return to values.

We have a choice about which energy we affiliate with, about where we put our support. We make this choice at the level of thought. When we allow anger, greed, or fear into our thoughts, we strengthen the descending energy, and we lose our capacity for generosity and mercy.

When we meet situations with peace, love, and persistent happiness, when we are careful not to say or think anything that would hurt another's heart, we amplify the energy of ascent.

We find these qualities inside of ourselves, as they have always been our true nature. But to find them ready in moments of need, we have to nurture them daily. To make the greatest contribution to the world at this time, keep the fire of goodness alive in your heart and mind. Fill yourself with the energies of peace, love and happiness and let them infuse your every action.

With love
BK Janki

Re: Spiritual Preparedness - simple practices and meditations to increase self-awareness
This is a beautiful meditation aid. Settle yourself comfortably in a chair or on a cushion and play the following youtube video of the Gayatri Mantra while gently resting your eyes on the flower of life colours and images.

Before you do, set the atmosphere of the room you are in - for example candle light, essential oil burner etc, have time set aside where you will not be interrupted so you can really become absorbed in this meditation.

Relax your body and become aware of your breathing, taking in deep breaths which expand the belly and then on the out breath the belly deflates again. As you relax become aware of yourself as a soul, that spark of consciousness sitting in your physical body behind the eyes, looking out of the eyes. Keep returning to this awareness of being a soul within the physical body soaking in rays of peace and purity - the image of the flower of life will help with this, as will the gentle sounds of the Gayatri Mantra.

Re: Spiritual Preparedness - simple practices and meditations to increase self-awareness
hi Pharista,

Im starting to reguraly meditate. Ive just been observing breathing but many times I see videos and mp3 posted to guide meditation such as the ones you have posted.

I dont know why but I have a strong feeling to avoid these and just use silence, breath and heartbeat.

can you share your experiences in these. does silence hinder then external device help get past that or is the external things a crutch?

the thought just occured to me that if you are in a noisy environment these devices may be the only way to be able to meditate.

then again, isnt the goal to be able to meditate at all times, every second?

thanks

Hi AC

I am running out the door at the moment but will respond in more depth later.

I am with you totally, the more natural the sounds and environment for meditation the better. In the chaos and noise of modern life it is always an option to have the aid of music or guided meditation just to set the mood.

Will share a little more about practice of meditation in natural surroundings or silence later :)
