Whose Thoughts Are You Thinking?

The Importance of Meditation

Why is it important to meditate everyday? Would you question brushing your teeth or taking a shower daily? Meditation cleans and clears you in the same way.

Meditation allows you to:

Go beyond the static of your mind’s thoughts and the thoughts of others to what is true.
Say “hello” to your true self – the part of you that is eternal that joins with the vibration of the Universe that ultimately guides you in your life.
Clean the lens of your spiritual perception.
Establish a strong connection with your inner voice, vision and hearing.

Steps for your practice:

1) Be in Kindergarten.

Come to your meditation with a “beginner’s mind.” Spirit is play, joy and non-judgment of yourself and others. It is the ego that wants to tell you “I know this already, I’m bored, I don’t need this, I’m too tired.” Each moment is new and you are becoming more of who you are in each second. The ego holds on to the old paradigm with these distracting or sabotaging thoughts. When these thoughts come up – just see them as separate from you – be amused and “bust “ the game.

2) Listen with deep alertness.

With your eyes closed, see out in front you a beautiful place in nature, such as a mountain meadow, beach, or waterfall scene. Imagine that you are now sitting in that setting. You know that you are waiting for a visit from a very important spirit in the form of an animal – one that is connected to your heart. You sit patiently waiting knowing that this is the meeting place. When you see this animal spirit, take note of the type of animal and how you feel connected. Listen to the message it has for you. Be open to all ways you can receive this vital communication. Thank it for its information and know that is always with you and there to serve you in your practice.

3) Forgive and release resentments.

This is extremely important as a cleansing each day. You are creating worlds with your thoughts. When these are made of judgments and non-forgiveness, they are dark and foreboding. Instead, start to see a vision of a beautiful light – a doorway that is opening up with a piercing light pouring through. Choose to walk through this doorway and, as you pass through, let all resentments dissolve in the doorway to this world of light and truth.

I teach meditation techniques in my Clairvoyant Development classes each week. Students in my classes practice with my guided meditation CD called – “Find Your Space.”
