Let's begin.....
Making comparisons can set you up for expectations that if not realized derails the whole process of quieting your mind. In fact, comparisons is a trick of your mind to distract you from quieting it. You will find yourself thinking, "Is this it? Have I reached that point I heard of?" If you find your mind on duty and working a little extra hard, just remind it that it is on a small vacation and in 10 minutes it can go back to work. All the lists and appointments for the day are all intact for 10 minutes. Breathe deeply and let your mind rest. It is a very peaceful place to be and very refreshing.
Let each meditation be as individual as the day. Just let what comes come and just feel your way into it. Some days quiet easier than others. Some 10 min. is enough, others you want to be there all day.
Do you get the idea that I highly recommentd this practice. I have come to see such a difference in the days that I meditate first or don't. One is quieter and more relaxed, the other frantic and going in all directions at once.
Yeah BIG difference.
gwen and Our Mentors
Emotions=Communication. It is how Spirit gets our attention. Makes complete sense. Once I started playing with this concept, my life changed. How the heck did I miss that one? Sometimes it gets tricky when I have a knee jerk response to something that I am not really wanting. But with some practice I have found that my feelings don't let me down. The more sensitive I get to how I feel, the better I feel in general. The better I feel the more I find my life experience bringing to me all the things I could ever hope for. Sure I still have some resistant or limiting thoughts that I want to turn around but cleaning up my emotional vibration has made all the difference
