Shining Through the Clouds

Shining Through the Clouds

When we're in a good mood, we shine like the sun. But if we find ourselves
in the presence of a person, or people, in a grumpy mood, it can feel like a
dark cloud approaching to dim our radiance and block our positive way of
seeing the world. We can remind ourselves that clouds pass, while the sun
and stars continue to shine above. Then it's easier to think of these
'grumps' affectionately, knowing that they only have the power to affect our
mood if we allow it. With the power of change firmly in our hands, we can
choose how to respond to a grumpy person, or a grumbling group of people,
with confidence and understanding. Like a lighthouse, we can continue to
shine through the darkness, offering our light to help others find their way
back to their own. We can send them a silent prayer of peace or a
sympathetic smile. We may sense that reaching out to offer a comforting
touch or hug can ease their frustrations and cause the clouds to dissipate.
If they need understanding, we can sympathize without reinforcing the
negativity they may be experiencing by directing their attention someplace
more positive. Helping them find the humor in their situation might be
appropriate and is a great way to lift spirits, or a logical approach may
help them see all the good in the situation, in their lives and in the
world. We might find that someone we encounter often seems to be in a
perpetual state of gloom. Our tendency in such cases may be to try to avoid
them, but instead we can make the choice to offer support that comes from
the heart. We may be inspired to ask if they would like some help or to
offer suggestions that have helped us in the past. We can include thoughts
of their health and happiness in our times of prayer and meditation. When we
lend our energy to uplift another in any way, we improve our own lives while
making the world a better place for all of us.

Sending Yourself Sunshine

Sending Yourself Sunshine

Good Thoughts For The Day

When things go wrong, it is easy to get
into a bad mood, and that bad mood has a way of spiraling
out and affecting our life for days to come. In the same
way, when we feel badly about ourselves, we tend to act in
ways that have repercussions, again creating a negative vibe
that can negatively influence the next several days. While
it is important that we allow ourselves to feel what we
feel, and to be genuine, we do not have to completely
surrender to a dark mood or feelings of self-doubt. In fact,
the more we simply allow and accept our darkness as one part
of the picture, the more easily we can also allow and accept
our light. In this vein, we can temper our grey moods with
an injection of sunshine in the form of sending good wishes
to ourselves for the next 24 hours.



If you feel a bad mood coming on or find yourself plagued
with negative feelings, take a moment to acknowledge that.
At the same time, recognize that things can and will change,
and that you can still have a good day, or a good week,
especially if you take the time to visualize that for
yourself. This is a great way to support yourself when you
are working through tough times and hard feelings. When you
visualize good things for yourself, you are sending yourself
love and warmth, as well as encouraging yourself to keep
going.



Before you even get out of bed in the morning, you can take
the time to send good wishes to yourself all the way through
to the next morning. As you picture your day, take the time
to fill in the details—where you are going, who you will
see, what you will do—and send love and good wishes ahead to
yourself, as well as everyone you encounter. It will be like
arriving in a new place and finding that an old friend has
sent a bouquet of flowers from back home to welcome you and
remind you that you are loved.

A LIFELONG GIFT

A Lifelong Gift





Family Meditation

Once we have discovered all that
meditation can do for us in our lives, we have the
opportunity to share that knowledge with our children. Since
a child's first experiences take place in the home, what
they learn there provides a foundation of knowledge and then
becomes their basis for comparison as they move out into the
world. Even if we may not feel that we are qualified to
teach, we can plant the seeds that will give them a basic
understanding of the peace and power that lie within them.




There are many ways we can instill the value of meditation.
Since children tend to learn just as much, if not more, by
observation and imitation, rather than by instruction, we
can teach by example. By following our practice, we show
them that meditation is part of daily life. Even if they
appear to resist, they will come to understand meditation's
importance in maintaining their inner health if you treat it
as something that is as important and as essential as eating
well and keeping proper hygiene. Little children are not the
only ones that can benefit by learning meditation; preteens
and teenagers can also benefit from learning the skills
necessary to calm their minds and spend quality family time
meditating together.



We may be able to introduce them to the concept of closing
their eyes and taking inner journeys by listening to
visualization CDs, or you may comfortable enough to guide
them through a visualization of your own. Creating a time of
quiet listening in the middle of guided imagery helps them
know that they can be silent and go within whenever they
choose. You might want to sit together and hold hands,
creating a deep bonding ritual that may become everyone's
favorite part of the day. By discussing afterward, you can
discover how your child experiences his or her inner world.
By teaching children how to create with their minds and how
to access the stillness within them, you are giving them
tools that will help them create the best lives possible.


 

A CLEAR CURRENT

A Clear Current




Maintaining The Flow

The essence of all being
is energy. Our physical and ethereal selves depend on the
unrestricted flow of life energy that is the source of
wholeness and wellness. Though the channels through which
this energy flows are open systems and influenced by factors
outside of our control, we ultimately choose what impact
these will have in our lives. It is up to us to identify and
clear blockages in the energy field to ensure that flow is
maintained. A healthy, grounded individual absorbs some
portion of the energy emitted by other people and the
environment, but this does not interrupt the continuous
stream of balanced energy sustaining them. The same
individual copes constructively with stress and upset, and
they are not subject to the stagnation that frequently goes
hand in hand with negativity. When we keep the energy in and
around our bodies flowing harmoniously, we are naturally
healthy, vibrant, and peaceful.



Life energy flows through us like a swift stream when there
is nothing to obstruct it, but various forces such as
trauma, downbeat vibrations, and disappointments act like
stones that impede the current. If we allow these to pile
up, our life energy is thrown off its course or blocked
entirely, causing illness, restlessness, and a lack of
vigor. If, however, we take the time to clear these forces
away, we rob them of the power to impact our lives. When we
cultivate simple yet affirmative habits such as taking
regular cleansing baths, practicing meditation and breathing
exercises, smudging, and self-shielding, we protect
ourselves from outside influences that might otherwise
impede our energy flow. Likewise, we lessen the impact of
inner influences when we clear our auras of unwanted
attachments and divest ourselves of blocked emotions.



A strong and fluid energy field is the key that unlocks the
doors of self-healing and peace of mind. Your awareness of
the flow of energy sustaining you empowers you to take
charge of your own well-being by taking steps to unblock,
correct, and enhance that flow. Fear will likely be the
culprit when you cannot identify the source of
stagnation—you may simply be afraid to let go of what is
obstructing the flow. Letting go can be challenging, but the
exuberance you will feel when the flow is restored will be a
welcome and blessed reward.

BRIEF MEDITATION

BRIEF MEDITATION BOOSTS ATTENTION, CURBS STRESS

Recent studies have suggested that months to years of intensive meditation can improve attention and lower stress but a new study suggest that in just a few days people can see the benefits.

Researchers now believe that in less than one week of meditation practice with the integrative body-mind meditation training method can produce noteworthy improvement in attention and ones' state of mind.
The study of 40 Chinese undergraduates found that participation in 20-minute integrative meditation sessions over 5 days showed greater improvement in attention and overall mood, and lower levels of anxiety, depression, anger and fatigue, compared with students in a control group who participated in relaxation training.

Dr Yi-Yuan Tang from University of Oregon in Eugene and colleagues report their research in today's issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Integrative meditation, they explain, "incorporates several key components body and mind techniques including body relaxation, breathing adjustment, mental imagery, and mindfulness training, which have shown broad positive effects in attention, emotions, and social behaviours in previous studies. This combination may amplify the training effect over the use of only one of these components."
As mentioned, after just 5 days, students in the integrative meditation group showed significantly greater improvement on tests of attention and mood than did the relaxation control group. Their reaction to a mental stressor was also significantly improved, as evidenced by a significant decrease in stress-related cortisol levels.

These outcomes after only 5 days of training "open a door" for simple and effective studies looking at the benefits of meditation.

OPENING A CLOSED CONNECTION

Opening A Closed Connection



                                                                              

There may be times when we feel like our connection to the universe is closed.
May be things don?t seem to be going well in our day, or our lives, or we may
feel out of our element. The truth is, the universe is always there for us. We
know that we create our experience with our thoughts, and this is another way
we need to make a conscious decision about how we want to experience life. It
is up to us to do the work of making the connection, because nobody can do it
for us, though sometimes the universe may send us wake-up calls.



You can think of it as getting some fresh air. We are always breathing and the
air is always around us, surrounding us, moving through us. But we may need to
step outside of where we are in the moment? physically, mentally, or
emotionally? and make the conscious choice to take a deep breath in order to
feel the air coming in and going out. Whether this means stepping outside
physically or merely shifting our thoughts, it is only our perception that
changes; the air remains the same.



It is just as easy to reconnect with the universe. Using the same technique as
a breath of fresh air, a deep breath can bring us back to our center. As we
inhale, we fill our bodies with the oxygen needed to replenish our most basic
physical needs, allowing the air to circulate within us. Exhaling, we release
the stale, the used, the potentially toxic air, removing any blocks that may
keep us from going deeper into the stillness that lies at our centre where we
connect to the universe. Feeling closed off does not need to be a negative
experience. When we become conscious of it, we can think of the wholeness of a
closed circuit, which allows electricity to connect and flow properly. Our
bodies work the same way, and when we make that connection in our minds, it
can help bring us back to the connection we seek.

ACHIEVING A HIGH VIBRATION

ACHIEVING A HIGH VIBRATION

 

All matter is made up of energy, and that energy is in motion continually.
Everything in the universe, from the smallest molecules to the most complex
living beings, has an optimal rate of vibration to keep it healthy. We reach
this high vibrational level when we are whole, healthy, and fulfilling our
potential. Human beings are able to consciously control these vibrations
within themselves using a variety of techniques. We know when we have reached
a high vibrational state because we feel good and can sense that we are
aligned with all that is. We find we are capable of healing and have good
intuition and perception that are a result of our resonating closer and closer
to our ideal frequencies.



Thoughts, emotions, intentions, choices, and actions contribute to our
vibrational state, as do the environments we inhabit. Affirmative activities
that leave us feeling joyous, appreciative, loving, and peaceful raise our
vibration. Constructive, creative, and expansive thoughts do the same. When we
cultivate habits that contribute to our physical health and strength, our
vibration is likewise raised. Certain mantra meditations, breathing exercises,
and chants are designed to increase vibration. But simply practicing gratitude
and forgiveness, surrounding ourselves with loving high-vibration people,
eating whole foods, and spending time in nature can also help us transcend our
current vibrational limitations.



When your desire for change is strong enough, you will find yourself
gravitating toward what can help you achieve and maintain a high vibrational
state. A positive outlook will then become the most important tool you
possess, and this outlook will sustain you when the path leading toward
transformation is wide and winding. As you evolve, your vibrational frequency
will also evolve, aiding you in the creation of an even higher reality.
Consciously and unconsciously, you will attract auspicious circumstances and
positive people that will help you continue exploring the scope of your higher
self until you move beyond the earthly plane.

MUSK

Musk comes from
the Wild Musk Deer, found in Central Asia, China, Mongolia and the
Himalayas. The Musk Deer marks its territory by dropping balls of Musk
which look similar to testicules. The musk is produced in the musk
pod, a gland located in a pouch or sac under the abdomen of the male
Musk Deer.

Musk is perhaps the most
powerful and expensive of all the aromas used in the world!


MUSK is suitable for making Perfume, Essential Oil & Medicinal
purposes.

Musk's reputation as a
powerful aphrodisiac has been well documented throughout history. Even
the smallest amount of Musk can greatly effect the human central nervous
system. It's aroma fills the senses with a powerful assertiveness that
transforms mental and spiritual energy. It is a powerful sedative which
can quiet the mind while at the same time stimulating the respiratory
system. By doing so it relaxes the mind while increasing the flow of
oxygen. This can lead to an incredible feeling of relaxed euphoria!

In traditional Chinese medicine, Musk is
considered warm, and is affiliated with the Heart and Spleen
meridians. Its main functions are to promote blood circulation, and to
relieve pain.
