Listen-Within To Find Your Moment... Relax... Breathe
Finding your personal moment of relaxation to listen-within can be a challenge. It's the moment you've been waiting for all day. Everyone has gone to bed, the house is quiet and secure, you've put all thoughts of problems on a shelf too high for reaching and you've found your moment to relax... Breathe.. and to enjoy your moment of peace.
Some people have a hard time relaxing...they have been busy with the family, work, bills, and often times feel depressed and anxiety ridden because for some there seems to be more problems than solutions to daily tasks. Quick Tips: If you are feeling emotional... drink lots of water. If you are feeling tired...walk outside and hug a tree. If you are feeling disconnected from the world....pet a cat... walk a dog...feed a raven and smell a flower (or scented candle if it is winter).
Close your eyes, take a deep inward breath... relax and let your breath go... and close your eyes and listen-within. If you are having trouble focusing and letting go of the outer...ypu might use a candles mesmerizing flame against a clear sphere (use the sphere... such as a crystal ball to ground negative and noisy thoughts by holding on tightly to the sphere for a few seconds... then relax your grip and tensions and focus to keep your mind still so you can listen-within. )
Key #1 to Successful Life
Breath
by Deb St.George
What do all living entities have in common?
They must breath in the spiritual flow of life.
What happens when we no longer breathe?
Our spirit leaves this body.
Our soul rides upon the spiritual currents back to the ocean of
love and mercy.
The light of Spirit is always with us.
Imagine a spiritual energy field surrounding your body.
This energy field is what propels the physical body through this
plane of existence.
In this physical body we are constrained by time and space.
When we sleep, soul leaves this body and travels on the inner
planes.
As there is no time or space on the inner planes... travel is
done at the speed of thought.
So why did we as soul come to this world and take on a physical
body?
To Breath...
What could be better than flowing as soul thru the spiritual
ocean of love and mercy?
Taking on form, taking on a physical body... experiencing breath
as a physical form.
This is not Souls true home.
We exist here for a short time only.
As soul we do not need a physical body to exist.
We are bound by our thoughts to this place,
We are bound by our love to our family, our community and our
life beliefs.
We are bound by our daily matrix of living patterns.
Then we are released from this place.
Our spiritual flow is once again revitalized and renewed by
joining with other souls.
In the spiritual ocean of love and mercy
Spirit takes many forms
Here is an exercise that will help brighten your day:
"At the moment of waking up,
before getting out of bed,
get in touch with your breath,
feel the various sensations in your body,
note any thoughts and feeling that maybe present,
let mindfulness touch this moment,
Can you feel your breath?
Can you perceive the dawning of each in breath?
Can you enjoy the feeling of the breath freely
entering your body in this moment?
“Breathe in I smile,
breathe out I calm my body,
dwelling in the present moment,
it is a wonderful moment.”
Spirit takes many forms to speak to us.
Imagine the form that
you are most comfortable with and listen-within.

Riding Aboard a Lost Ship?
Written by Deb St. George
Can it be that we are all aboard a ship that is lost at sea?Everyday we wake to the same sea of lifetime patterns that come showering down upon us, and we punish ourselves with habits that move our ships side to side upon the waves of life. We are trying to move our ship forward in space and time while we try to remain in a balanced state so that we can retain our health and breathe easily.
The problem that most of us are facing is that there is no more time and space. We have run out of solutions to the deepening and towering waves that are crashing down upon us. There are no solutions when you are riding aboard a lost ship. In this human form we can only live for a short time before we are required to change form. We must move into unknown spaces and travel like a lost ship until we meet our future... perhaps a future that we had not planned upon or expected.
How we travel is as important as our destination. Life is a journey and we all want to travel in the best ship and yet the ship we travel in is often neglected.. and sometimes does not receive the best of care.
Of course I am talking about our human body... it is the ship that
carries you forward in this life. We have the opportunity to take good
care of our bodies.. but often the body like a well worn ship will break
down and need repair.
We need to find a port in the storm so that we can repair our spiritual
bodies. Yes there is more than just this body... but there are bodies
within bodies that all have ports of destination... Each body has a
connection between the other bodies that reside on different planes.
This is why there is precognition, second sight, hunches, and feelings
that lead us to make decisions in the middle of the night when there are
no known better choices to be made.
Why do some people travel between bodies.... or have dream experiences?
Why do some people recall their experiences on a different plane of
existance and other people do not remember where they have been?
Is it a matter of recollection... or a matter of focus and intention to
remember and bring back what we have learned in another sphere of life?
As with most of life.. there are those that must test and study what
they do not understand. People who are learners often write down their
dreams and try to understand the meaning of life. There are other people
who just move through life as if it were a dream, working their life
away, following preconceived expected patterns of thought... so it would
take a great effort for them to change... to try and understand
something unfamiliar, unknown and new.
Like a lost ship in the night, we are all riding upon the waves light
and sound. We can focus upon the darkness of the night or we can look
for moonlight to guide us towards a future port. The purpose of
meditation and spiritual contemplation is to create healthful results.
If we keep our ship (our body) tuned by listening to the sound current
within, we have an opportunity to glide forth into our future knowing
somewhere and sometime soon we shall soon see the inner light. With
knowledge comes understanding and awareness. In a world where we feel so
alone... we suddenly find we are not alone... we are surrounded and
enveloped in spirit. We can find inner peace...relax and know that our
journey takes us forward no matter how hard we try to go backwards.
There is no past and there is no future... there is only this moment. We
can only live in the present... that's why life is called a gift. This
moment will never come again, so make it a good moment. You can direct
your ship anywhere you choose, the path you are on was written before
you were born., yet it's your ship, you can make choices. This is your
life's journey and even if you've made a few wrong choices, know that
you have made a few right choices also. Every day is a new day, don't
look backwards or forwards only look to this present moment to make your
life's journey a joy and worth remembering.
