Meditation why, what, when, where, who & howmiddela
Meditation involves watching one's thoughts without judgment, allowing them to pass without getting caught up in them. As one becomes more aware of thoughts passing through the mind without engagement, there are longer periods of no thought where one experiences stillness and clarity. True freedom comes from developing awareness of one's unconscious patterns and instincts through meditation practice, rather than just rebelling against societal norms. Meditation is a means to discover one's true self and experience life's deeper meanings.
This document contains summaries of multiple articles on topics related to spirituality, relationships, leadership, meditation, and self-improvement. The key messages are:
1) To reduce misunderstandings in relationships, listen fully to understand others' perspectives before making assumptions.
2) True love and happiness come from within, not outside influences. We should focus on giving love rather than seeking it from others.
3) Effective leadership helps people understand themselves and align their actions with their values through integrity and humility.
4) Meditation can reduce stress and negative emotions while improving focus, mental abilities, and well-being. Scientific studies show it can change brain activity and structure.
This document discusses various methods of self-care through meditation, mindfulness, and creative arts. It begins by outlining the science showing benefits of meditation such as increased gray matter in areas of the brain. It then provides instructions for meditation practices like focusing on breathing and metta (loving-kindness) meditation. The document also discusses how creative arts like music, writing, and visual arts can aid in self-care and processing emotions. It provides examples of using music, poetry, writing and coloring to cope with difficult feelings. Overall, the document promotes incorporating mindfulness meditation and creative activities into daily life to lift spirits and find hope.
This document discusses living in the present moment beyond identification with the ego and mind. It describes how identification with the physical body, mind, intellect and emotions leads to limited and disturbed living marked by endless desires, exhaustion, and eventual death. In contrast, realizing the eternal self/consciousness beyond these identifications through practices like yoga, meditation and surrender leads to unlimited bliss and being established in silence. Vedanta helps one transcend experience and attachments to experience peacefully in any situation.
The document discusses basic spiritual intentions and principles for living a spiritual life. It outlines several core intentions that mark a spiritual path, including wanting to feel God's presence, wanting God's aid and support, feeling connected to the whole, finding meaning in life, and being free of restrictions. It then provides guidance on knowing your intentions, setting your intentions high, seeing yourself and others in a spiritual light, reinforcing intentions daily, learning to forgive yourself and let go, revering what is holy, allowing God to take over, and embracing the unknown. The overall message is that living spiritually involves cultivating high intentions, maintaining an inner light and connection to God, and surrendering control through faith.

This document provides guidance on spiritual transformation and empowering oneself. In 3 sentences:
It encourages the reader to peel away limiting beliefs and care only about what they think of themselves, not what others think. Unfucking oneself involves cultivating unconditional self-acceptance and understanding how thoughts and beliefs shape one's reality through the law of attraction. By focusing on what they want and removing fear, the reader can manifest their dreams and discover their true power.
The document discusses paying attention through meditation. It states that meditation involves focusing inner attention in a quiet, concentrated yet relaxed manner. This allows one to pay attention to deeper inner levels of oneself beyond thinking and emotions. While difficult at first due to an untrained mind, with practice this focusing can be accomplished and feels like a gentle flowing river towards its source. The document encourages the reader to simply decide to take up meditation, as it does not require changes to lifestyle or long periods, but can bring mindfulness and significant benefits to health and relationships.

Your Soul Has a Clear Purpose: Life Lessons Are For Spiritual Growth by Anne ...ANNE PRYOR, MA

On her journey and in doing her ‘work’ she has experienced many unexplainable phenomena that you may or may not resonate with, yet. Your Soul Has a Clear Purpose.

1) The author searched for happiness through material possessions and relationships but did not find lasting happiness.
2) After experiencing hardships including the loss of his material wealth after moving to Canada, the author practiced mindfulness and broke habitual thought patterns.
3) Through mindfulness practice, choosing how to respond to circumstances, and focusing on the present moment, the author was able to find inner peace and happiness regardless of external conditions.
Mindfulness can help diminish the influence of the ego by making one aware of thoughts and identifications that comprise the ego. The ego is not inherently bad but can become problematic if one is not in touch with their inner experience and becomes overly identified with external factors. Mindfulness strengthens the observer within and allows one to see that they are more than just thoughts, emotions or identifications. It helps one use the ego as a tool rather than being defined by it, taking inner experience as a starting point to authentically engage with the outside world.

Time is a human construct; focus instead on living in harmony with natural rhythms. We are all connected parts of a beautiful, harmonious universe.

Heartfulness Magazine - August 2018(Volume 3, Issue 8)heartfulness
In this issue, we explore creativity in all its facets. We bring to you an exclusive interview with the French painter, Fabienne Verdier, and also artwork and the articles by other young artists. We continue with Dr Gary Huber’s interview on the benefits of meditation for health and well-being, along with articles on work, relationships and much more. In Daaji’s series on Ashtanga Yoga, he has reached the heart of yogic practice, as he guides us how to dive deep in Dhyana, meditation, towards that inner center that is the source of our being, as well as the source of our creativity.
The newsletter discusses the theme of forgiveness. It suggests that forgiving others benefits one's own well-being and mental health. It also discusses the mission of the Spiritual Light Center to be welcoming to all spiritual seekers, without requiring any specific doctrines or rules. Upcoming events at the center in July are listed, including guest speakers on various spiritual topics such as forgiveness and meditation groups. Members are encouraged to submit creative works to the newsletter.
The document discusses mindfulness and meditation. It explains that mindfulness involves controlling one's attention by focusing on the present moment rather than thoughts, and attending to the space between thoughts. Meditation trains the "attentional muscles" by allowing thoughts to arise without attachment or reaction. This helps people dissolve boundaries of thought-created time and space, and enter a state of presence and spaciousness. Mindfulness is described as simple - it involves paying attention to sensations, the breath, and bodily awareness in the current moment.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

felt.

Drug Dealer, Dad- Jail, 9-13 yrs
old. WTF?
• Closet grade 5-6 summer
(10-11yrs old)
• “There has to be another way.”
“Life doesn’t make sense.”

sources back to Spirit.
5. ME
• Spiritual Psychotherapist
• Ontological Coach
• Empathic Intuitive, Reiki
• Shaman- Bridge
• Conscious Business Advisor
• Professional Singer
12. Solar Paradigm
• BRIGHT
• Sourced from Source
• Abundance
• NEW PARADIGM- both
and.
• Being BRIGHT pays off
13. Fill up the Fuel
Holding light requires energy. Energy comes from
SOURCE.
14. Fuelling a Human Being
• Meditation
• Sun
• Water
• Rest
• Play
• Relationships- giving and receiving balanced
• Self-Parenting/Self-Care
• BEing in your Doing
• Food as FUEL to live in your Body Vehicle (not a diet, not to fit in)
Fuelling means to supply or power.
15. Depleting a Human Being
• FEAR, Unworthiness, Analysis Paralysis, Inaction, Doubt
• All work no play, everything needs a “reason”
• Doing with no BEing
• Going for hours without eating, sleeping or peeing then crashing.
(Different than running off of inspiration/solar where no depletion
happens)
• Lack of Sun, Fresh Air, Nature, Real Food
• Caring what other’s think more than attending to your Truth
• Doing something against it’s nature (our soul causes pain to
wake us up, this gets depleting when we don’t listen)
16. How do you treat
yourself?
With JUDGMENT (old paradigm)
or CARE and Admiration? (new paradigm)
How you treat yourself determines your FUEL
17. Is this Lion being Unproductive?
Is he any less powerful resting?
36. Some Anchors
are Deal-with-
able
Just kinda clanging in
the background.
Annoying Chatter.
Mosquitos
The noise when there is
Silence.
But they still rob presence
and Leak Energy
37. Some people
totally shut off
from ALL
feeling to cope
“The walls we build
around us to keep
sadness out also keeps
out the joy.”
Jim Rohn
44. Human Being
• Mind
• Body
• Heart
• Spirit
• CENTER
Quick Overview of You are the Manual
45. Energetics reach Everything
BUT you need to act on what is presenting.
ALL layers still matter,
you can’t focus on 1 only
and expect lasting
transformation.
47. Exercise
Beam light from heart
to brain.
Let the brain sit in
your skull like it’s a
hammock.
release. relax. let go.
48. Earth Space Seed Womb
All light essentially comes from Dark.
Creation comes from no-thing-ness.
49. Emotions are not Jerks.
They are here to guide us.
The pain is a misunderstanding.
50. We are not being punished when we are in pain. We
are being formed and sculpted by our Soul.
51. Anchors Thaw…
then
HEAL
When you can think
about it (pain), touch it,
and be aware of it
without a FLOOD of
overwhelming emotions.
Your Anchor has
Transmuted
67. Heartbreak opens onto the sunrise
For even breaking is opening
And I am broken
I’m open
Broken to the new light without pushing in
Open to the possibilities within, pushing out
See the love shine in through my cracks?
See the light shine out through me?
I am broken
I am open
I am broken open
See the love light shining through me
Shining through my cracks
Through the gaps
My spirit takes journey
My spirit takes flight
Could not have risen otherwise
And I am not running
I’m choosing
Running is not a choice from the breaking
Breaking is freeing
Broken is freedom
I am not broken
I’m free.
Written by Dee Rees
74. Happy versus
Joy
Happy= finding that
parking spot, good
health, people treating
you nicely, gratitude…
Joy= exists within you.
It is always there.
Nothing to do or not do
75. We often are
afraid our Joy
is Impractical
So we stifle the body and
heart.
WE need to “get sh*t done”
Be productive…
What if our ideas of SUCCESS are WRONG?
76. Play threatens perfectionism.
Joy eliminates motivation
derived from fear “self
improvement”
The FEAR of Joy:
If you are happy you will just
end up on a park bench.
Eckhart Tolle
77. We avoid JOY
to Protect from
Disappointment
Many people would
rather give up, to
protect themselves
from the pain of
putting themselves
out there.
Choose Joy Anyway
79. Add more
Colour to
Your Life.
The HOW or What
doesn’t matter.
• DO you love fresh
flowers?
• Do you love certain
images?
• Activities?
• Weave them into your
LIFE
80. “When you stop dancing and singing
you have lost your Spirit.” African saying
Let JOY move you. BE
MOVED.
81. BE DIFFERENT.
Stop contorting to fit in. That sucks.
It IS worth the risk to
Be you. There is never Joy when there is Judgment.
(African Dance Story)
86. The Consequences of Holding more Light.
- The bugs, haters, jealous, unconscious
attack the light.
87.
88. Being a Healer Wasn’t Always Cool. (or safe)
Witches- burned
Jesus- crucified
Assassinations-
Ghandi
Martin Luther King
Be Gentle with your process. Holding more LIGHT can bring
up Collective Fear. - fatigue, grief, emotions, doubt, anger…
Just keep going and let resources find you. BE + RECEIVE.
89. Letting in more Joy may cause
SHEDDING of the Old.
How crazy does this SNAKE SKIN look???
90. DO what you know to do.
Do what is in front of you.
Attend to what is presenting.
91. WRITE DOWN 5 things you
Love to Do, that LIGHT you UP.
(YES write it down, you can’t do it in your head.)

100. I am light, I am light
[Verse 1]
I am not the things my family did
I am not the voices in my head
I am not the pieces of the brokenness inside
I am light, I am light (x2)
[Verse 2]
I'm not the mistakes that I have made
Or any of the things that caused me pain
I am not the pieces of the dream I left
behind
I am light, I am light (x2)
[Verse 3]
I am not the color of my eyes
I am not the skin on the outside
I am not my age
I am not my race
My soul inside is all light, all light
Oh light, all light
[Verse 4]
I am divinity defined
I am the God on the inside
I am a star, a piece of it all
I am light
