My favourite meditations.............

Abundance and the Law of Least Effort Sanskrit mantra and its English essence are: Om Daksham Namah—My actions achieve maximal benefit with minimal effort. “An integral being knows without going, sees without looking, and accomplishes without doing.” ~ Lao Tzu ... Law of Least Effort releasing our desires into the spiritual realm to create abundance in our lives. When actions are motivated by love, your energy multiplies and accumulates. Releasing that energy allows it to be redirected and used to create anything you want. When your internal reference point is your spirit, you can harness the power of love and use this energy creatively for the experience of affluence and evolution. Mindful Moment Experience the peace of acceptance. Today, accept all people and circumstances in your life, exactly as they are. Take responsibility for your life without blaming yourself, knowing that everything is as it should be. Practice defenselessness and relinquish the need to convince or persuade others of your point of view. Abundance and the Law of Karma Sanskrit mantra and its English essence are: Om Kriyam Namah—My actions are aligned with cosmic law. “Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh the Law of Karma .....conscious choice-making, and consider how, through the choices we make, more of every good thing can flow into our lives. When you make any choice—any choice at all—you can ask yourself what the consequences of the choice you’re making are and if it will bring happiness, or more abundance, to you and everyone around you. After posing those questions, place your attention in your heart, and the answers will become clear to you. By practicing conscious choice-making in this way, you will learn to witness your thoughts and make the most nourishing decisions for your life. Mindful Moment Allow your heart to guide you. Practice connecting with the heart for guidance in conscious choice-making. Each time you’re faced with a choice, place your attention in your heart and ask yourself: Will this choice bring fulfillment and happiness to me and to those who are affected by this choice? Then, make your decision based on the answer you receive. Abundance and the Law of Pure Potentiality Sanskrit mantra and its English essence are: Om Bhavam Namah—I am absolute existence. I am a field of all possibilities. “We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? . . . Your playing small does not serve the world.” ~ Marianne Williamson The power to create anything flows through us when we are connected to the moment, plugged into the deeper source from which all experience, knowledge, and existence emerge and to which they return. And, so, we’ll begin this week by discovering how we can put the first law, the Law of Pure Potentiality, into practice and create abundance by accessing this source, the field of all possibilities. Mindful Moment Witness the field of all possibilities. Spend some part of your day in silence. When you have time, commune with nature. Throughout the day, suspend any need to judge people or circumstances. If you find yourself judging something or someone, gently remind yourself of your commitment. Attention and intention “Through the Law of Pure Potentiality, I can create anything, anytime, anywhere.” The Field of All Possibilities Sanskrit mantra and its English essence are: Sat, Chit, Ananda—Existence, Consciousness, Bliss “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” ~ Maya Angelou The field of all possibilities reveals itself in the silence of meditation. The unlimited power of the universe is always available to you. Making intuitive choices, grounded in this unified field, will help you manifest your deepest desires. going about your daily life, continue to cultivate stillness whenever possible. Spend time in nature, absorb its beauty, and notice how its abundance is spread before you. Bask in the energy of beautiful music; uplifting and inspirational stories; and optimistic, like-minded people. As you do this, you’ll find the field of all possibilities will open wide to help your dreams, hopes, and desires come to fruition. Mindful Moment Awaken to unlimited possibilities. Look at one situation you’d like to change. Allow yourself to focus your thoughts on that one wish. Then, write down one intention. Be as specific as you can. When you go into meditation, look at this intention and let it go. Surrender it to the field of all possibilities and allow the universe to correlate the details. “Today, I embrace my potential to be, do, and have whatever I can dream.”

Meditation and Yoga practice ..........

A nice link for morning yoga practice........ Gonna try this yoga session in a little while whilst waiting for my bread to rise....Checking out facebook's inspirational quotes today and am taking a few words from one of them that makes such a lot of sense to me and is where my beginners head is at when thinking NVC...First get together after the workshop is tonight ..... "See all human behaviour as one of two things:Either love or a call for love...." now those words sit comfortably with me ... The Chopra Centre's Meditation challenge is a really inspirational with reference to Carl Jung's object pertayal and self referral....attention too something energises whilst intention transforms.......i'm soooooo journalling with intention in my BOD...it's making such a difference to the life i am living and my journey...

Music MOJO............

o.k soooo much energy am reigning it into completing and progressing with two lovely commissioned albums I'm making....bopping round the house listening to more Jack Savoretti (we saw him last night and it was amazing ....soul flooding, heartwarming, body pumping i don't have any words to describe it and I still think it is totally unbelievable that he played in the good ole Brudenell Social Club...was it real I think sooooo)... will ground myself later with a bit of yoga but right now this feeling is too great to not savour for a little longer.

Refocusing using my book of days

Listening to lots of my favourite tunes and have some super times planned to keep body n soul together....in fact life has speeded up a little !! Seeing Kate Rusby ( my favourite favourite song is Sungrazer off the new album) in December with mum at the Barbican Centre in York.....
soo feelin the need to refocus a little with gratitude and intention and to clarify how i am going to control the amount of working hours i put into the week as i know i cannot go on at the pace i have been doing at work.....I painted 'a thousand petal lotus' in my book of days and keep pondering over this image i often visualise it and breathe............. will post my page soon Thankyou for all my lessons in life for the reflections that keep me revisiting those patterns that lead to exhaustion...

NVC

A little tired after a two day workshop offering more insight into Non Violent Communication.....really interesting and feeling artful today so have drawn n arted to cope with the slight non togetherness my wee body is feeling.Am committing myself to some practice of 'the steps' technique .... and will set some intention in my art journal with regard to observation.....
