What's in your home? And if its there, is it Safe?

We take for granted a lot of the procedural documentation that is supposed to go along with products we buy. We accept that our homes are built using toxic cement, paints that contain chemicals, our carpets dyed with synthetics and then set using petroleum based agents, and we can't really have an input into those things (sometimes), especially if we are renting and not building.

But where we CAN make conscious choices we can be making an effort to reduce our toxic burden.

This basically comes down to everyday consumables. Our food, our drinks, our treatments, therapies, remedies, personal care items. The list is pretty big actually, when you think about it. And when you think about it, you begin to see its a process of one step at a time. One product at a time perhaps...

Safety and Security are important to us. Its a primal need to feel safe and secure for good health in all aspects; mental, emotional, physical and spiritual too. Providing security for our loved ones is also a natural imperative, and this can be the most powerful driving force in altering your perceptions and making you begin to ask questions of all that you have been told before.

When you next go to purchase anything consumable, have a moment to consider its sustainability, its impact upon your health. Thinking Holistically is a learned thing for most of us, but in learning this we can learn so much more :)

Allow your Meditations to come to you.

Forcing meditative time is like asking a two year old to wash up. Its futile, frustrating and without real belief that it will actually work at all...

Meditation is like a gift from Spirit to your Body, Mind and Heart. Its a cleansing light that can shine throughout your energy cha...nnels (nadi or meridians), bringing Peace and Clarity about anything YOU focus on.

Combining a meditation with the Bagua of Feng Shui theory can be a useful exercise. Each direction is given an association with a Life Aspect, eg: North is Career & Life Purpose, so to meditate upon 'what you really want to do in Life' you may choose to face North and invite in the natural energy of that direction.
Health issues? Look to your East and the Centre of your home. Clear up and fix up if necessary, then sit and contemplate the pathway you have taken to manifest the health issue you have...

Meditation does not mean you're sitting in the Lotus position burning incense (although that is quite nice to do....) or laying down with oil on your pulse points and a soft mantra playing (although that is also quite nice to do....). All you need to do is find a quiet spot, sit comfortably and look around peacefully. The thoughts will come to you, and if it is time, the Meditation will come too.
Many people who don't Meditate find that quiet contemplation in a favourite spot does exactly the same thing. And really, that's all you are really trying to accomplish. A quietness for your Spirit to speak and send this beautiful gift to you :)

I offer a Meditation Discovery consult that can be a personal appointment or a group 'workshop' organised for you and a few friends. If you'd like to find out more you can contact me via my website link.

Embracable YOU

Sometimes when I feel that my views are particularly radical, or that my ways are considered extreme, I have to take a moment apart from all those perceptions and just embrace my Self. Embracing the Self in terms of acknowledgment, acceptance, soothing, or just because it helps to appreciate my uniquenes...s, is a way of connecting your Mind, Heart, and Spirit together in your own Body, and promotes stress relief, patience and a improved perception of your Life and who you are.

So next time you are listening to the constrained or contrived views of someone, or your own inner critic :), take a moment to step aside from that point, and EMBRACE yourself.

Close your eyes if it helps, place your hands over your Heart, or your arms around yourself, take a deep breath, let it out slow and appreciate your unique way of seeing things, thinking about things and your general way of Being. Its what makes you YOU.

In all things, the practice of changing perspective can elicit a solution to any issue.
