QUIETING the Mind
Preparing the mind so that you can uncover your HEART’S desire and let your true DESTINY emerge is the golden key. It may take some PRACTICE but I believe it is critical to your LONG term success. So where do you start?
BEFORE you can soak up the ENORMOUS amount of new information that will bring you closer to living your BEST life ~you better grab the cleaning supplies and get ready to remove the old COBWEBS. Reciting affirmations, reading all day long and writing until your hand hurts won’t do the trick unless the SPACE is available~ an OPENING– to propel you to your HIGHEST and greatest PURPOSE. It all starts with QUIETING the mind and RELEASING the blocks (those toxic blocks that exist in all of us) so that space can open and your NEW destiny can EMERGE.
If you have been MEDITATING, practicing YOGA, or engaging in a MINDFULNESS practice then this might be familiar terrain. If not, you can START today by taking SMALL steps and building a routine QUIETING THE MIND” practice. I suggest you start slowly by LOCATING that special place that FEELS right to you and then going to that SPOT (a tree, mountaintop, beach or cozy room in your own home) and practice being totally PRESENT. Answering the following questions might help you connect to the “NOW” and pick your special spot.
1.) Where do I spend time that I feel connected to (think about a location)?
1.) What do I enjoy about being there?
2.) How do I feel when I am __________ (at the beach, under a tree, etc) ?
The next step is go to that SPOT~ (you may want to pick somewhere that you can get to easily EVERYDAY…perhaps start with a park bench, tree, or room in your house)
CLOSE your eyes- follow your BREATHE. Sit comfortably for 5-10 minutes. Your mind may wander and a stream of THOUGHTS may pass (at lightening speed) WATCH them without judgment and then ask you INNER self to bring your thoughts back to the BREATHE. I started this practice just sitting in my CAR but parked under a TREE with my sun roof open (that works for me when I can’t actually sit under the tree directly).
COMMIT to this routine for 30 DAYS in the beginning and then build from there.
You will notice that you will LOVE this time and begin to look forward to it. You will also NOTICE that as the weeks pass you are able to RELEASE some of your old ATTACHMENTS and BELIEFS. Be an OBSERVER of your own MIND- sit QUIETLY and OBSERVE. Quieting the mind allows the quiet STILL voice to emerge and when it does you may hear a WHISPER revealing your own true DESTINY.
Wishing you MUCH HEALTH, SUCCESS and HAPPINESS,
