Chant the MANTRA..SSHHHoossshh the Mind.

The mind is a thinking machine, I often attribute it to being that of a shark. It hunts all the time, eats, moves, and never sleeps. Sound familiar. The minds purpose is simple, yet complex, hmm perfect balance I would guess. It's purpose is to create problems and solve those problems that's it. It was designed to only do that, at a caliber that most of us can never grasp. 

The mind is a marvel, think on that see what I did . It is almost by reflex that we go straight to the MIND. It is a conditioning of lots of practice over years of conforming. The mind does not care what the issue is , it can argue both sides, why it is to it's benefit it is fulfilling it's primary purpose. The problem with all that of course is it is a never ending cycle. It never stops. It requires the body to check and balance it, as one minor part of the greater whole. The body thankfully has a threshold of maximum capacity. When it has reached it's limit it shuts down by any means necessary. Self preservation kicks in, this is where we start this is the point in the midst of all this that we get to stop and see what else is missing. I talk of the warning signs, that one's body activates to let us know to stop and take a look. The mind is a weed, it will take over and break down everything in it's path IF LEFT TO IT'S OWN DEVICES. The heart and soul play the last of the four to create the perfect balance a complete check and balances. The heart controls feelings which will strongly affect the mind, emotions are very very powerful. The soul or essence of one being the unexplained by words, yet to deny it is to deny one's true self. This is the inner source of faith, bliss, and pure unconditional LOVE for oneself and thus the world tribe. It starts inward only to vibrate outwards and touch all that it passes through. 

How does one tame the mind? Good question, I would answer with practice and more practice, and just when one thinks they have it, nope practice it again. It is the journey of the practice that provides the learning, the growth, the strength, the one step closer to one's truest self. There one too will find their "primary purpose". Still working on it here, but after fifty one moon cycles it is so much clearer, all that practice is dose of zen so to speak. Let's talk Mind GAMES, nope let's change games to Minds full of PEACE and QUIET. 

Mantra's 
By accessing the power of speech through mantras, you can re-frame your thinking to purify negativity with love. Mantras are simple yet powerful phrases that are continuously recited in order to provide a healing, stabilizing effect on the mind. The repetitious quality of mantras yield the potential to open doors to achieving love, happiness and meaningful accomplishments

1. Everything ends.

When you are overwhelmed by anxiety or believe you are ‘stuck’ in a situation, you must remember that everything ends. Life is composed of cycles; every negative cycle must occur for a positive cycle to begin. Even our most frustrating, terrible cycles will come to an end. A difficult situation is not a permanent barrier to any kind of happiness.

2: I am enough.

Perfectionism is a major roadblock to incorporating love and happiness into your life. Take a moment each day to remind yourself that you are enough. Who has told you that you are ‘not good enough’? Will punishing yourself bring love and prosperity? As you recite this mantra, look at yourself in the mirror–be your own best supporter. This mantra should be repeated to counteract negative self-talk.

3.Let love be my guide.

There is nothing as holistic and cleansing as integrating love as a guiding energy into your life. Give into the divine will of the Universe by releasing all negative thinking; when your mind and heart have opened, you will see joy unfold before your eyes. As you recite this mantra, imagine a warm, pink light wrapping around your body like a blanket, drawing out all darkness from your auric field.

Emotion-cons???? Speak Loudly

We all know what burnout is. There are many categories under this title. Emotional burnout is the very heart and soul of most of the sisterhood on this planet. Go figure, it just seems the normal.We express them everywhere, wherever that little button lives we PUSH IT. What if just for one moment, we truly took a look at the definition of emotion, and do we really ever get to the core of it's existence to truly accept and start to the changes to heal.

Emotions control one's thinking, behavior, and actions. Emotions cause illness. Emotions also reflect in the physical body just as the body affects your feelings and thinking. Emotions that are not felt and released look at that sentence again, there are two parts, and one must follow the other. Balance and Cleansing.

What are Feelings and Emotions?

  John D. (Jack) Mayer says, “Emotions operate on many levels.  They have a physical aspect as well as a psychological aspect.  Emotions bridge thought, feeling, and action – they operate in every part of a person, they affect many aspects of a person, and the person affects many aspects of the emotions.

  Dr. Maurice Elias says, “Emotions are human beings’ warning systems as to what is really going on around them.  Emotions are our most reliable indicators of how things are going on in our lives.  Emotions help keep us on the right track by making sure that we are led by more than the mental/ intellectual faculties of thought, perception, reason, memory.

These are just examples of how people define the word. Interesting perspective on both takes.
One cannot control their emotions, it is an illusion. We must feel all them, positive and negative, and then must release them as they are only there in that moment. Everything is temporary including emotions. The energy in each of these "feelings" is a good indicator of exactly what is going on inside us. It is a wake-up alarm alerting one that there is something amiss. If one sits and feels and follows this energy of emotion it will truly take one to the core issue, patterns that have sustained all this time and what a load one has been carrying, but that is where the healing must begin.

Sisters they are so many signs to show just how repressed and deep those emotions go we must pay attention to our bodies and truly get to be comfortable with it's amazing engineering .

RELEASING THEM TO THE UNIVERSE-HEALING BEGINS.

3.Releasing Resentments-even the tiniest will fester. Be thorough.
4.The power of prayer or offering
5. Meditation with heart of the Universe. Once you have relaxed, feel your heart, be with your heart.  Then go out into the Universe, and visit the stars and the spaces between the stars, until you find that sacred place, the Heart of the Universe.  Approach it slowly, respectfully and with humility.  Then ask that the love of the Universal Heart be more deeply connected with your heart, and that your heart be filled with the love of the Universe.  Stay with this for as long as you can.  Feel the love of this Universal Heart.  Once you feel your heart has received the love it needs at this time, thank the Universal Heart for sharing its love with you and slowly open your eyes and come back into the present moment.
We need to ask!

Watch the button pushing they are always directing one's true inner core self. Feel it, Release it, and rise in all your glory sisterhood.

Meditation For the Sisters.

We all go through times of despair, and being out of balance. Life is supposed to be that way. What experiences would one truly get if the road of life was straight, no bumps, always smooth and never a up or down twist or turn? Life just isn't meant to be that way.

 The truth is, we are on a road that changes constantly, it never repeats the same way twice. So how does one maintain balance when the surface is constantly moving? There is the first lesson. Everything and everyone is constantly moving everything is in flux. Things come together and fall apart and then they come together again and fall apart. It is constant and every lasting in this time and place. This what being a soul in a meat skeleton is all about. The experiences that we get to participate in all the craziness and absurdity all the love and joy bliss and peace these are all abundant and it is us who must continue to purge and plow through it all with the best attitude we possibly can muster.

How does one have a good attitude? It starts from the inside. Meditation allows us to dive deep within to find the strength the power and the infinite love that surrounds us every moment of our lives. It provides solutions to the internal and the direct result of that is solutions then become available for the external. The true eternal light that resides in all of us requires us to our part, to stay connected to the divine for that is salvation.  No matter what is going on in one's life, there is a meditation for that purpose, just as there are plants for every ailment and light in every dark corner.

Meditation is the key to understanding and loving oneself through it all no matter what. It is about seeing what you are truly made of and also will guide you to the a path of purpose and passion. We are never broken this is what meditation tells us. We simply need a little mending now and then. Meditation brings forth all the pieces that make one unique and just like a patchwork quilt all the pieces will fit together in a natural order and process go with it, flow with the energy and see what beautiful pieces of YOU come forth. Mediation is the road map we are given to navigate this space we occupy for this lifetime the next be something different. Meditation the calming of the mind, and body and spirit, it aligns all three to be in perfect harmony with the cosmos after all that is where we all came from. The line we are all made of stardust is beautiful but true. Meditation does that it allows one to see truth as beautiful that includes the inner workings of oneself.  Meditation creates a new outlook a new path and in that one's attitude is adjusted just by a few simple moments of being still.

Stillness is the key to quietness of heart. Meditation leads the way to this occurrence. To be still and just breathe is a automatic gear for attitude to change like having a car in neutral and then all of sudden it reeves up and you know you can go anywhere and do anything. Mediation brings one closer to that which is and that which is not, and in some cases that which might be. Meditation allows you to manifest everything you need from the highest source by the way that source is in US not out of us. It builds from the inside and leaks out to the outside. The balance in mediation is the Yin and Yang of life. One is Yang most days operating in the big big world, Yin is the moments you stop and breathe and connect to source. Meditation is it's name.

Over the next few days meditations will be posted on a variety of subjects. The invitation stands to try one or try them all, and of course feel free to share meditations that have successful worked. Take a moment and drift away, sit, breathe, check the attitudes and then meditate  it all away. Seek balance in all things and meditation is the first tool one will use and it will be the best tool one will have to walk this path of human existence.

Full Moon..Feminine Power To It's Height.

We have said goodbye to January and I welcome the Imbolc

 time of February. It is still a time of hibernation but with a hint of spring soon arriving. Our little groundhog shadow spoke of six more weeks of winter. In this season I have experienced a huge transitional life stage and one of those that come out of nowhere kind of season. I mention this only because as this new time with a full moon on the rise, I remembered the beginning of this was also at a time of the full moon cycle.

Feminine energy the goddess divine, the power of the tides, the moon, the daughter of Mother Earth, each of us, burning, rising, burning and rising again and again leaving us to know that we truly are of spiritual wonder and magic. We are the creatures that bear life just as the essence of this universal creation. We nurture and balance out the Masculine side of our opposite and loving partner. We are of genuine grace and senses above and beyond the basic day to day realities. We born of water, and our bodies rock the cycles of waves and hurl with pain as the hurricanes, and we lay calm as the stillest body of water. We were born of this magic and celestial wonder.

On this Full Moon, let us all take a moment as gaze our eyes onto Her delight, let us think of a sister or sisters near or far, at hand or risen out this world. May we see the faces of the Feminine divine and bow our heads to show grace and to our knee to honor the SHE in each of us. Breathe in all the glory and light for this shall help guides when we are one step shy of complete darkness. Each breath taken is a ray of divine light that ignites as it enters us. As we exhale in her bounty of light, let the breath taken be freeing to all our souls across the universe, and may all those that are burning, show us the way, and all those that rising carry us along.

Peace love and light to all my sisters, all my feminine divine souls, all those that carry this energy more than masculine. A burden sometimes but a gift indeed.
