2. The Meditation Series

- What is meditation?
- What can meditation achieve?
- What areas of your life can benefit by meditating?
- What different styles of meditation are there?
- How often should you meditate?
- What is the best support "tools" for meditation?
- How to slow down your thoughts and meditate effectively?
- What is the best time and place to meditate + much more?
This week we will be discussing how often to meditate and supportive tools.
Meditation is most beneficial if done on a regular basis. I find that first thing in the morning, just after waking or last thing at night just before going to bed is the best for me.
A beautiful way to start the day is to meditate just after waking. I find that I connect to the "Source " of all energy - God - (You may choose to connect with whatever image of creation you feel comfortable with) and ask to feel the love of the divine flowing through me. I ask for healing energy to flow to me, and through me. I visualize what I need to do during the day and see it completed with positive outcomes. I allow my energies to be recharged and scan my energy fields to make sure they are flowing and balanced.
If I get the added bonus of finding space and time at the end of the day, I connect to the "source" and give thanks for the day. I send healing energy to friends, family, events and circumstances. It is here I set myself free from the day to enter the space of dreamtime.
During meditation your brainwave drops from alert beta to alpha, or lower. It is here that the body rejuvenates itself. 10 minutes of meditation can be equivalent in rest and recharge quality to about an hour of sleep. If at any time during the day, you become tired or drained a few minutes of meditation is a great way to "Top Up" your energies.
Meditation can be done anywhere, any time. You can grab a few minutes of "Chill out Time" while on the train or even in a check out line.
The best tools to assist in meditation are any that help you focus your mind or help you relax.
*Music can be anything from slow quiet tones to strong marching or classical. I have often gone flying with music that lifts the spirit out of the body and sets it free of our earthly confines.
*Guided meditation tapes are really helpful for beginners, as you will have someone lead you though different forms of meditation and relaxation techniques.
*Oils: Some essential oils are extremely beneficial for meditation. Do some research and find oils or blends that will help with relaxation or opening awareness. Stay away from stimulating blends as you are trying to relax the mind rather than stimulate it.
*Candles are really good for meditation as you can focus on the flickering flame and enter the more relaxed brain waves quite quickly. Also the color of the candle may assist your focus.
*Incense is also helpful to create a calm relaxed state. Different fragrances or smells can trigger connections to pleasant experiences.
*Crystals can also be used to assist in energy focusing or clearing.
Virtually anything that helps you relax or focus your thoughts can be used as a meditation tool.
Search for interesting images, crystals, candles, music or anything that can help you get into the wonderful world of meditating.

3. How to Get Lots of Money For Anything- Fast!
-- By Stuart Lichtman
=============================================================
The Secret That Gets You The Money You Want
Name something you want.
It can be a weight-loss goal, a money goal, a sales quota, a new house, a relationship, etc. It's entirely up to you.
Think about your money goals. How much more money are you seeking, anyway? A hundred dollars?
Thousands? A million?
Now let me ask you a blunt question:
Why don't you have it yet?
Why don't you have the thinner body, or more money, or whatever it is you said you wanted?
Well?
Now let me tell you something shocking:
The fault isn't with the economy, your parents, your spouse, your neighbors, your mayor, the president or anyone or anything outside of you.
So, what's the secret to making life a joy?
What's the secret to creating more money now?
And what's the answer to why you haven't achieved your goals yet?
It's in your own mind.
No, not in your thoughts. Not in your conscious mind. The roadblock is deeper. It's where you rarely look. It's in your un-conscious.
In short, if there is something you are trying to achieve-you name it-and you aren't achieving it, chances are your unconscious holds some contradictory intentions for you.
Said another way, you want something and it doesn't.
If you are typical, you are constantly giving yourself contradictory instructions-like "I want to lose weight" and "I want that luscious piece of pie."
Notice anything odd about them?
Those statements are going in different directions. After years of such frustrating and contradictory messages, your unconscious gives up and starts to disregard what you consciously want.
In other words, you canceled out your own request. You said, "I want money," but right after that you said (or thought), "I don't deserve it" or "Money never comes to me" or some other similar limiting belief.
As a result, you usually didn't get what you said you wanted!
But I have good news for you.
All that can end now. You can learn two simple three-step processes that will put an end to the mental self-sabotage that has been holding you back. Now you'll finally be able to show your unconscious mind exactly how to let you achieve what you consciously want.
I said "simple," but that doesn't mean "easy." It won't happen automatically, just by holding these pages in your hand or thinking beautiful thoughts. There's no magic or hocus-pocus. But there is a method. And it can be called magical.
Read on and you'll learn about a tried and tested three step process that can transform your world and bring you all the riches you've ever imagined.
I've proven this method will work by testing it on 50,000 people. Now you can prove it will work for you.
First, let me introduce you to the basic three steps:
1. Create a Target that defines what you want, one that is clearly understood by all aspects of your un-conscious mind.
Think of the bull's eye of an archery target with its concentric circles enclosing a central red circle. Your unconscious mind needs something as clear as that circle, a target that indicates exactly what you want.
2. Prioritize your Target -Flag it so that you will remain unconsciously focused on it while you get on with your normal activities.
Imagine a large crowd of people, all dressed alike in gray. Now picture one of them holding up your highly graphic bull's eye target with the bright red center. Chances are, the target is what will catch your eye. That's what happens in your unconscious mind when you have appropriately prioritized your target.
3. Resolve any self-defeating un-conscious habit patterns that can prevent you from achieving your target.
Your unconscious habits govern what you normally do in a situation.
The most efficient way to go through life is to do a lot of things on automatic - except when those automatic habit patterns get in the way. In other words, most people have unconscious mechanisms that sabotage their desire to hit the target. When you clear those, you are free to hit the mark.
Think about driving a car.
Most of what you do requires little conscious attention. You attend to the traffic, what's on the radio, the time, etc. You don't pay much attention to the numerous minor steering corrections, evaluating your distance from the cars on your right or left, slowing to adjust to the car in front of you, etc.
Now, remember what it was like when you first learned to drive. Every single thing required a conscious decision. Remember how tiring that was? Didn't your palms sweat? Didn't you hold your breath a lot?
The difference is that now, through repetition, you have created unconscious habit patterns that operate automatically, making things much easier. Those unconscious habit patterns persist, seemingly forever. That's why we say, "You never forget how to ride a bike." You're never going to forget how to drive a car, are you?
But driving a car is a simple example. And you've already accomplished it, most likely.
But what about the things you want-like more money-that you don't yet have? What keeps stopping you from achieving that goal?
Some of your persistent, unconscious habit patterns don't work well for you any more. They can automatically block you from getting what you want. They are probably even operating right now, keeping you from getting more money (or any other target).
For example, an infant learns to cry when it is hungry. Crying is very effective for an infant. Cry, and someone pretty quickly comes to meet your needs. But this automatic response loses its effectiveness as we grow older. Think of someone you've seen in your business life. They're frustrated because they're not getting what they want. Their voice gets louder, they get red in the face, maybe they even wave their arms around or pound on a table.
Just like an infant when it is frustrated.
Why? The unconscious habit pattern they learned as an infant is still working - but now it's working against them.
For you to be successful at things that seem impossible, those inappropriate unconscious patterns have to be changed into new habits that enhance your ability to get what you want.
I call that "resolving unconscious habit patterns"- Clearing the unconscious of whatever prevents you from achieving your target. It's the third step in this magical 3-step process. It's fun. And it's very, very powerful.
There you have it!

4. Attitude
=============================================================
The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.
After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window.
"I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.
"Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room ...just wait."
"That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged ... it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it ...
"It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away ... just for this time in my life.
Old age is like a bank account ... you withdraw from what you've put in. So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
- Free your heart from hatred.
- Free your mind from worries.
- Live simply.
- Give more.
- Expect less.
No one can go back and make a brand new start. Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

"Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different. Life would undergo a change of appearance because we ourselves had undergone a change of attitude."
