LOVE is often understood as an emotional feeling between people who are close. It is also a state that can be constant. Positive thoughts and thinking of things that make you feel happy and alive help keep that state alive. Negative thoughts, as you know, do the oppositive. My very best wishes are with you to continue to think positive thoughts and become inspired to create abundance and wealth through an alternative path as you face your challenges.

Transitions.
I have been reading a book by my Meditation Master called "Empowering the Soul through Meditation," and he has said so many things which I feel that I am now comfortable with and know about through my own experience under His Graceful guidance. I have to stretch my sense of trust and surrender about waiting for a job and being okay with my circumstance of uncertainty as I transition. Whether that is a new direction, a new location or a combination of the two I don't exactly know but I am moved to a deeper level of surrender and trust as I go through the process.
All is well and when doors close it is for the good. My first teacher taught that everything happens for the best and truly it does. I read a question on a post today asking about what I would have done differently etc. I don't think that I would have done anything differently because acceptance of what is in the present is the most important focus and I wouldn't be experiencing this moment as the person I am if things had been different.
Meditation is the key to finding the soul and connecting with the Universal power that empowers our soul and links us together in our common humanity. With so much intolerance among ethnic and religious groups I hope people will choose the high road so to speak and try to reach out to others and allow them their rights as citizens to practice their form of religious prayer. I read one of the Masters on my path say that humility is the ornament of the saints and with humble hearts all can be overcome. It is the ego that cries out for victory and domination. Surrender is sweet but it comes at a cost because the path that leads to detachment is often one that causes emotional response while the ego let's go of its hold on the soul. It is really the pain of separation from the Higher Power that is the underlying source of suffering according to the Saints and Mystics. Surrender is about letting go and letting God!
If you have a great longing to know God you will find Him within and this has been the message across time. Love always comes through for the seeker. Love is never ending and timeless. Share the love inside with others and let your love light shine in the world. Be accepting of others even if your path teaches that they are "wrong." Let go and let God! Let love shine on all you meet and see their faces as that of your God or Higher Power.
Remember love is always the best answer to any problem and as the Bible says "Love conquers all."
Practice meditation daily and follow your path with love and joy.

Loving animals.
My teacher says that animals have souls and that it is because of the Grace of God that we are born into our human form in order to experience God and find a path to spiritual liberation. Animals are souls who have been reincarnated from lifetimes of not achieving the goal of mankind - that of liberation and are trapped inside a body of an animal.
One story illustrates this point. There was a man who was about to slaughter a goat. The goat suddenly laughed then cried. The man was puzzled by this behavior and asked the goat to explain what was going on. The goat said that he laughed because this was the 500th time he was to be slaughtered and the last to clear his karmic load and cried for the man whose consciousness didn't understand the ramifications of his actions.
Vegetarianism is very much a direct command by my Master and I am thankful to be with a Master and on a path that give absolute and clear direction to the followers. Heaven knows I don't want to harm or hurt animals and want only to raise consciousness in others who wish to live with enlightened consciousness.
I have posted a video about the treatment of bears in China for some extract that is tied to superstition and folk medicine.
Please share this story as much as it is revolting to bring up with you friends. It is necessary when we have the bear in beds with our children to hold and feel secure at night. We read stories about bears and how much fun they bring into the lives and imaginations of children. Remember Winnie the Poo?
Become a bear lover and do something to make it impossible for this practice to continue. Evil exists in dark places in our lives when we turn away from shining our light onto the issue and showing it for what it is. You can show your children that bears are not only a symbol of security and love but of worthiness for our love and attention to the conditions in their lives.
Ghandi said that we can judge a nation by the way it treats its animals. Let's show our children that we can love and protect animals. Tell them about the life of St. Francis of Assisi and how he loved animals and thought of them as his brothers and sisters.
Love conquers all! Meditate daily and eat vegetables and fruits.

Living through emotional pain.
When we have a physical injury it is so much easier on some level to endure and I certainly don't want to underestimate the impact on peoples lives who live with chronic pain. I wish to differentiate between emotional and physical pain because one is seen and the other subjective and unseen to the observer. It is difficult to imagine the psychic gash to the soul that some people experience during times of emotional trauma that is caused by relationship difficulties.
I pray for those who are married and with kids to work through things together and remain as one unit because of the times we live in it's easier to stabilize the life of the kids who need certain goods and good school districts. There is a time when people have to end a relationship if it is abusive and only that person will know when that time has come. I encourage time to work things out on a spiritual level by learning to meditate and still the mind through connecting the soul with the greater Power of the Universe.
It takes courage to stay in a relationship and work things out and it definitely takes two to make it work. When either partner has decided to leave it leaves no other option. Self development is such an important part of our lives that we cannot look to our partner to fulfill our unmet needs and many of which have entered into the relationship because they have not been dealt with from our past.
If you are on the verge of chucking in the towel with your relationship I suggest that you spend time in stillness and alone and connect with your heart. Be humble and willing to do what it takes to make the relationship work. Meditation is key to connecting with how you really feel and if you can get past the anger and fear and experience a stillness inside you can look at what parts of the relationship are working and what can be salvaged.
Take short vacations from one another and do your separate interests so that you are not focused on having needs met by your partner/spouse. Learn to let one person talk and wait for them to finish before responding to what is being said even if it is hurtful. Pray inside for humility and understanding. Be prepared to take the heat and blame and when the other person is feeling more trusting and secure you can each take part ownership of what has gone wrong with the relationship. The stronger of the two needs to be more objective when the crisis mode is in effect. Be patient and take a time out if you feel that you are getting impatient.
The tongue is a small part of our body but does immense damage with one short movement. We can destroy relationships and incur guilt and shame if we don't control it's impulse to lash out. Tell yourself that you will only speak kind and thoughtful words. Write out hostile feelings and put them in a place that you consider sacred. In the East they have prayer stands of pujas. I suggest that you keep offering the broken relationship to your Higher Power. Nothing is impossible through the Power of Love.
Meditate daily, pray often, stay in constant remembrance of your higher power.

Silence.
I like the blank, pure, simple things in life. When I look up at a star studded night sky my soul connects with the energy of the universe. When I look into a clear brook or stream I am drawn inside myself. I like to be in nature because it is so easy to connect within. I love butterflies and find they come to me and sit on my hand or foot for a while. There is no expectation, no motion, just a communication about the simplicity of being.
We are conditioned in life to want to fill our lives with events, relationships, conversations, opinions, judgments etc., on and on. We loose touch with who we are when we are pulled outside ourselves constantly by our senses. We learn to think of love as an escape into some other experience other than our own love that is resonating inside our own heart and soul 24/7.
We can connect through relationships and community if we choose and it's goo if that's what you want because you can share a part of your love from your own soul. If you are looking at these interactions with others as an escape or the continuation of the same old, same old denial of the need for self introspection, you will not benefit from the experience.
Take time to be silent and appreciate your own inner being. If there is pain or blocks you will have to go deep within and heal those places. It is all possible. You are one complete whole and vibrating with love. Don't waste this life in looking for all the material goods or a special relationship. The one relationship that will take you to God is within your own self. Be kind, first to yourself through self thoughts, self talk, and your actions. Be gentle, first with yourself then with others. In this way spread kindness throughout the day, in the moment and as part of your life.

Infuse love into my thoughts about finances.
Having not worked for two years and now getting back into the workforce with a long term plan to continue to deal with a legal issue that I will keep focused on until there is a satisfactory resolution. What has helped is remembering the advice from a man in his nineties who had written a prayer that he shared with me. It went something like this:
People like to do business with me and I attract new clients every day;
People who know me trust me and I return that trust by always going above and beyond what the expectations are in our business transaction;
I build prosperity through my love for my work and I draw money into my life abundantly to more than meet my needs.
You can write your own prayer out in the same manner. First you connect with your heart and soul. Breath in deep and close your eyes and feel the shift on the inside as your awareness shifts. Experience the love inside and now think about money and surround images of money being infused with the power of your love. Money is attracted to you because your love is like a beacon, drawing money like a month to a flame. Know that all your efforts will be rewarded tenfold. Expect money to manifest and continue to express gratitude.
Gratitude is a form of adoration in which you can tell God how great He is and how much you appreciate your blessings. Money is a very welcomed part of your life and your love grows because of the support money gives to your life.
One project that is helpful is to put a collage together of different images that represent the areas of your life: wealth, health, relationships, knowledge. Be creative and if there is one area that needs to be the focus of your attention more than the others (for me that is money,) make a separate collage dedicated to that aspect of your life. Keep the collage in a place where you will view it frequently and meditate on the quality that you want to have more of in order to draw that gift. Maybe it's being more romantic in order to have a more loving relationship. Or for money it might take more time to spend developing your business.
As you focus on one area above the rest know that this is a normal aspect of life and that you will have to let other areas go unattended for a period of time. If you want to focus on wealth, know that your relationships and health (exercise) will have to be put on hold for a while.
Be confident and trust that you will bring all those things you desire into your life. Make your lists and collage as you prepare for the New Year and base your resolution on what you desire. It is possible! Don't let other peoples comments affect you. Meditate daily and stayed focused on your goals. Your dreams will come true.

Forgiveness.
Forgiveness is an never ending process that we can use to let go of negative emotions that arise when someone causes us harm. Forgiveness isn't something that we wait for in relationships. When you practice forgiveness it becomes fluid and as a result you will feel lighter. Nobody likes the feeling of being burdened by feeling blame or any other negative feeling. You don't have to go there. When you free yourself from the shackles of others oppressive behaviors while staying in your own power and positive thoughts.
"The minds job is to doubt," a famous spiritual teacher once said. Once you are able to clear your heart and live from the realm of love you will no longer be ruled by the mind. The mind will follow the heart. Forgiveness is an aspect of love and love conquers all! Where love is the opposite cannot coexist. This way of living takes time to develop and you will find that the more time you spend in the realm of love the more you will want to stay there. The practice of meditation is key to clearing all negativity and connecting you with your soul or true self. I have been fortunate enough in my own life to have spent many years with two Indian spiritual Master's who have led me on the spiritual journey.
For me the choice to take the journey was one that was made easy because I didn't want to exist in the arid realm of the mind and materialism. I knew that the Saints and Sages could lead me to the experience that they so willingly and lovingly shared. I spend time in the evening and early morning hours in meditation since I have been initiated in Sound and Light Meditation. When I meditate I immediately feel free of any burdens or negativity. It is just me and God and that is felt in my heart as Love. You will benefit from finding a spiritual Master who can initiate you on the spiritual journey and direct you through life. Each person experiences something different because under the guidance of a Master your life will unfold in whatever way is perfect for you to learn. There are many things that you will learn and your purpose will be revealed to you through a process that I have found repeats itself in different forms. I knew in my heart when I was in graduate school at The Catholic University of America that my life wasn't just about me and I willingly have allowed my life to be of service to God for whatever He wishes.
Forgiveness is an aspect of love and it doesn't mean that you become a target for others abuse. You can forgive others while making sure that you take responsibility for your own life and the impact of their behaviors on you. You can still draw boundaries and say no. Be clear and be certain. A clergyman wrote "You can't blow an uncertain trumpet!" It's okay to be strong. Tyrants are usually cowards inside. Just like some of those candies that have a hard shell and gooey stuff on the inside when you bite down. Except there is nothing sweet about cowards. Learn to identify them and learn how to deal with them. Don't become a victim like so many kids I have been reading and hearing about in schools. Read books by Carlos Castaneda whose stories involve tyrants and examples of how to deal with them. The main lesson is to remain impeccable according to Carlos.
So many things to master in life and the first place of course to start is within your own heart. Learn how to connect with your soul and God. Be a blessing in this life to those who need you to show them the way and like the title of a book said "How to swim with sharks!" Nothing is impossible when you decide to keep making breakthroughs. You will not get anywhere at times and in that still time learn to control the doubts that the mind uses to discourage you. Keep pressing in to the situation and eventually when the time is right there will be a breakthrough and you will emerge on the other side of your problem. Wait on the other side of that opening you created and help others through.

Loss of a child's life.
Perhaps the greatest loss anyone has to face in life is the loss of a child. Whether it is because of having an abortion at a time in life when you didn't have the conscious awareness about the sacredness of life that begins at conception; the loss of a baby during pregnancy from other causes or as an parent of an adult. The mother and father will always remember their baby or child who was never able to share in the times of family gatherings, instead always leaving a vacant spot in their hearts. Pain is something that has to be endured and hopefully it will diminish over time.
I have found the best method of lessening the power of any situation over me is to share the experience with others, some of whom may benefit by your outreach. Some sit in silent suffering and there is no way of knowing what is going on in someone else's heart and mind. Support groups can be a good place to start the healing process. Margie Basarba wrote a sensitive comment on her face book page recently that touched my heart and I wanted to share her link with others because in God's design you never know who needs the information at that particular time.
I recently heard of a family member of someone I know being killed. It happened in a neighborhood that I knew from my earlier days in Kansas City when I used to go out on the town with my husband. I had not heard the particular news story she referred to but I sensed that it was an unexpected death and probably a murder. I have a particular sensitivity toward this particular situation because I also had a close family member who was murdered. I was working at the time and seven months pregnant when I left for England and felt that I was pulled into the eye of the storm. Murder is evil and yet there is a tendency by society to take pity on the murderer. I always think of my brother and wonder what his life would have been like had he lived past his 30th birthday. For me there has been no way of reconciling the facts about the injustice of it all and I wonder what he knew about his wife having an affair at the time. It was his wife's boyfriend who shot my brother in the back of his head as he arrived home and was walking toward the entrance of the apartment building where they lived with their two young children. The milkman found his dead body in the morning and my eldest brother was called by the police to identify his body. The victim leaves behind a wide circle of people who will feel the loss for the rest of their lives and the only consolation is to focus on the good memories. Their memory will always be present in the hearts of family members and it is our love for them that never dies and continues to grow.
When tragedies happen they will take us to a deeper place inside our own soul where we seek to find the answers to life's purpose and ask God to help us cope with the pain. There are no miracle bullets as far as medications are concerned. Meditation is a method of healing through connecting with God within your own heart that has been taught by the Spiritual Masters from the East for thousands of years. Take time during your grieving process to go inside in silence and even if you sit through painful emotions know that it is an inner cleansing process that is taking place and that the divine power or energy that you will connect with is also supremely intelligent and knows how to remove the pain and emotional blocks. I recommend that you work under the guidance of a spiritual master who can initiate you on the spiritual journey. Under the guidance of a Master you can be sure that the right circumstances and conditions will present themselves in your life to make your pure as gold in the process.
One of the philosophical frameworks that Eastern Master's teach is karma. Our thoughts and actions will bear fruit in this life or can lead to the consequence of having to come back in another life to fulfill the right or wrong action that we did. That's right! The balance of equipoise is so fine in yoga that we are required to reap the fruits of our good actions also. That is why detachment is so important to know. I recently read that on the path of Buddhism followeres are taught to prepare for the afterlife when they are presented with incidents in which they hurt another's feelings. In the afterlife they feel and expereince the other's anguish for which they are responsible for causing. In order to avoid the karmic lesson by having to repeat a lifetime to learn how to respond in a more loving way perhaps, followers are instructed to look past the condition of the person or event so thay they are not hooked into or attached by the energy of what they created. I did not read further to know what other ways might be presented to correct our karma. This is a tool that you can begin to apply to your life now.
Perhaps I could have benefitted by this method after my brother was murdered and we found that his wife had been involved with not only trying to poison him but in buying the gun that was used to shoot him. When I think of my ex-sister-in-law and her boyfriend I can feel less impacted by their evil deed by looking past them. Perhaps I can also image them in a light that radiates from the stars and sun behind them or God's light (however you want to draw light into the picture.) By looking past them and connecting with the powerful source of the universe and God you won't get entangled emotionally with the issues and energy surrounding the individuals involved.
For those who have lost a baby through a misguided decision to have an abortion or unintentional loss of a pregnancy perhaps the same technique will help to heal. Whenever you image the baby or see the child in other stages of normal development picture that child in white light and see if you can look past the child and join the light that is radiating into the scene from behind. As I write this I can invission a young girl of perhaps 9 or 10 with golden hair and curly locks swinging on a rope tied to a tree limb. Give yourself permission to grieve and continue to hold onto your faith in the after life where your child is now with God. Allow yourself to remeber what your child meant to your and your spouse and talk about what he or she would have been like had their life continued. Always stay in rememberance of God. When I feel myself experience any negative thought or feeling I immediately remember my own Spiritual Master or God then feel energized and spiritually uplifted. It is similar to driving a car and learning to listen to the engine and know when to shift gears. It takes practice but you will inevitably steer in the right direction.
My work in the past has been in the mental health field. I found that more and more I wanted to help people with deeper healing that takes place through connecting with their own spirituality. For the past two years I have been writing and working as a Professional Life Coach. My work is grounded in spirituality and vegetarianism. The unawakened life is arrid and awakening to the spiritual dimension makes us alive and we can be empowered through our connection with God.

I have found the best method of lessening the power of any situation over me is to share the experience with others, some of whom may benefit by your outreach. Some sit in silent suffering and there is no way of knowing what is going on in someone else's heart and mind. Support groups can be a good place to start the healing process. Margie Basarba wrote a sensitive comment on her face book page recently that touched my heart and I wanted to share her link with others because in God's design you never know who needs the information at that particular time.
I recently heard of a family member of someone I know being killed. It happened in a neighborhood that I knew from my earlier days in Kansas City when I used to go out on the town with my husband. I had not heard the particular news story she referred to but I sensed that it was an unexpected death and probably a murder. I have a particular sensitivity toward this particular situation because I also had a close family member who was murdered. I was working at the time and seven months pregnant when I left for England and felt that I was pulled into the eye of the storm. Murder is evil and yet there is a tendency by society to take pity on the murderer. I always think of my brother and wonder what his life would have been like had he lived past his 30th birthday. For me there has been no way of reconciling the facts about the injustice of it all and I wonder what he knew about his wife having an affair at the time. It was his wife's boyfriend who shot my brother in the back of his head as he arrived home and was walking toward the entrance of the apartment building where they lived with their two young children. The milkman found his dead body in the morning and my eldest brother was called by the police to identify his body. The victim leaves behind a wide circle of people who will feel the loss for the rest of their lives and the only consolation is to focus on the good memories. Their memory will always be present in the hearts of family members and it is our love for them that never dies and continues to grow.
When tragedies happen they will take us to a deeper place inside our own soul where we seek to find the answers to life's purpose and ask God to help us cope with the pain. There are no miracle bullets as far as medications are concerned. Meditation is a method of healing through connecting with God within your own heart that has been taught by the Spiritual Masters from the East for thousands of years. Take time during your grieving process to go inside in silence and even if you sit through painful emotions know that it is an inner cleansing process that is taking place and that the divine power or energy that you will connect with is also supremely intelligent and knows how to remove the pain and emotional blocks. I recommend that you work under the guidance of a spiritual master who can initiate you on the spiritual journey. Under the guidance of a Master you can be sure that the right circumstances and conditions will present themselves in your life to make your pure as gold in the process.

Nature, Friendships and Love of God and Yourself are the best things in life.
Having led most of my life already I am aware of the fast and constant pace that most people have to keep in order to pack in developmental goals and milestones. From adolescents forward the race is on! Hormones throw us into gear whether ready or not! Academics is a high priority because learning and knowledge are the keys to our future. As women we have a conscious awareness of our biological clock ticking. No time delay or snooze button to put off procreation and finding a suitable mate. Dating is a hot and heavy scene where we have to learn boundaries with the one's we are chemically on fire with and find a way to not hurt the feelings too much on the ones who don't turn us on.
When you feel overwhelmed as you will, don't fall apart or have a melt down as they say these days. Take some lessons from nature. Leonardo DiVinci invented the parachute after noticing how leaves fell from trees. Really you can look to nature to guide you for answers that you are searching for and become an independent thinker because of nature's link with the infinite intelligence that created this world, all that is in it, and the universe. God encourages us to explore and get to know Him through the very creatures and plants that he has created to be our friends and companions. Have you noticed how your mood can be uplifted when you look into the beautiful face of a flower? At my friend's house where I took care of her plants for her while she was on a trip to Africa, I was greeted every morning out on the deck by the pretty little faces of purple flowers not unlike miniature pansies. There were so many of them nodding their delicate heads in the breeze. Bees buzzed from plant to plant and I noticed that they particularly liked the purple colored plants. I had read in an article that described their attraction to purple flowers and that by planting lavender and other purple varieties of plants you are able to support bees whose numbers have been depleted due to the toxic chemicals people use on their gardens, yards and farmland . Another study has found that bees recognize human faces. Bees are in tune with us and we can be in tune with them if we open our hearts to the wonder of our bond with them through all that is scientific and our togetherness as part of the portrait of God's love and beauty. Studies of bees has shown that they can actually learn to recognize our individual faces.
When you have those little breaks in the day disconnect yourself from the electric devises, the pressure of deadlines and watch with open wonder what nature is doing. How do butterflies go about their day? They love to sail in the breeze and circle around me when I am outside. Sometimes they will land on me. One sat on my great toe for the longest time the other day. These are delectable moments to see their delicate wings and sense how curious they are about us. You have to drop the rush and push of life to attract the still and tranquil. As soon as you invade their peaceful and loving vibrations with negative energy they will wing it out of there! I had that experience once when walking in a park in the Bay Area, California. I happened to be on my cell phone with a Middle Eastern male friend who had the tendency toward possessiveness that made him controlling. When I told him that a hummingbird was hovering inches away from me looking directly at my face, he said something derogatory and I could feel the negative force of his energy come through the phone. The bird flew off immediately. I asked him when would he ever learn? I say to people that I am happily single because it is too difficult to deal with other people's stuff.
I did have a close friend who was gay while I was in the Bay Area and helped him through the end stages of congestive heart failure. I believe he was enlightened although he used to show me by using his thumb and index finger squeezed together to show he had an eintzie wientze little bit to go. After he was discharged from ICU having hemorrhaged blood as a result of blood thinners he went home to be cared for by hospice which is what our Teacher had instructed him to do through her liason, a lawyer for the organization. Another young man who happened to live around the corner from my friend's apartment stayed through the night and I took the day shift. The gentleman lawyer called from time to time when I went home to rest telling me that our Teacher had asked him to support us as it is especially difficult physically for those who are present with beings who are spiritually elevated when they die. I felt exhausted for sure, my neck became stiff and I had a headache. In fact all I could do at the time was collapse on the bed and rest as best I could. It was not unusual for me to experience time warps during the time I spent with my Teacher and I felt the same sense then. I will love him forever and my love continues to grow and my gratitude is awakened with fresh thoughts of his presence, stories and just how wonderful he was. We volunteered together everyday in the office of a spiritual mission for prisoners. Before we began he sang prayers in Sanskrit which an ancient Indian language. His voice was robust and his whole countenance exduded an elegant style. I have always felt moved by his power and he taught me not to hold back when engaging in any type of service for the upliftment of other's lives. Our love for our Teacher was great because there is so much Grace in our lives when we aligned ourselves with our Teacher's power through selfless service.
A funny story was told at his memorial that was held in a quaint rose garden on the grounds of our Teachers compound in the Bay Area. The story was presented by the young man who stayed with my friend at night before he died. The audience laughed when they heard how he had been given the name Babu Rao, from our Teacher. As she approached him and spoken to him, giving him the name he responded to her with love and thanks. He then turned to the young man and asked "What did she say?" He wore bilateral hearing aids and they squeeked at times. His love for our teacher was so pure that he seemed to radiate light when I saw photos of him with our Teacher during one of her visits. My friend's mother also had this white light emanating from her being when she was greeted by our Teacher.
The stress in our lives can be neutralized and deflated and nature is a great stress reducer. Pressure can build like in the water hose, until it can cause the tube to rupture. In terms of our bodies that can manifest as serious illnesses that have great impact on our lives emotional and psychological wellbeing. Take care my friends and learn to take periods of rest. You may not be able to take naps because you may not be in a place where that is possible, but if it is they are very good for your health. You will feel recharged afterwards and if you keep to a schedule and avoid stimulants like caffeine your body will get used to being quietened and replenished through napping at the same time every day if possible or whenever you can. You can also use guided imagery to replenish your energy and recharge your enthusiasm and zest. Think of your body as a solar panel that is open to the pure energy of the sun and all the positive energy that is being sent for your good by the universe. Absorb that energy and soak it up into the core of your being. Fill your heart with gratitude for these precious moments to absorb the natural sources of God's power. Remember God or your higher power constantly and like a child with an imaginary friend keep God as your constant friend and companion.
The greatest practice for replenishing body and soul is through meditation. I was taught that one hour of meditation is worth a thousand hours of sleep. Like your mother used to tell you, sit still and be quiet, and that's as simple as it is to meditate. Breath easy and say God's name silently to yourself. Take the focus of your mind to the area of your heart. If your mind chatters let it think of your thought stream like clouds that drift through the sky. You don't put your hands up to stop them because you know that they will be carried away by air currents and winds. Similarly your thoughts will drift away. With practice your mind will still. With repeated meditation you will go into meditation more easily and love will grow as you enter your heart more often and enjoy your own great company.

Start where you are - don't fence your self in through inner obstacles.
Somehow it is human nature for us to believe our lives need to be improved in some area such as education or finance and that we cannot start on a course of action because we convince ourselves that the fences are real and allow them to hold us in. Break free of the fences that corral your life into a tight and limited space. Be bold. Be true to yourself and step out into the unknown with confidence. Journal and enquire of yourself what is it that keeps from giving your all to your life. Why do you chose to take the short stick and risk exposing yourself to heights of self discovery and achievement? Only you can do this work nobody else can do it for you. Once you find out what your particular barriers are, you can start to erase and reverse your thinking and experience. Are you afraid of public speaking perhaps which is a common phenomenon because we fear inside that we are going to be ridiculed, not respected or any number of imaginings.
I worked with a young man once who overcame fear of being on stage for his part in a play in front of kids in a new magnet school. We meditated together and everyday at home the young man and his mother made this a regular practice for calming the mind and stilling their inner being. These two results made it possible for him to go in front of an auditorium full of people without fear. He had to experience calm and confidence inside and have a steady mind before he could appreciate what a pleasurable experience sharing his talent was for him. We also used the worrier yoga position that was developed and used by people to tap into that part of our psyche and consciousness that brings out the warrior in us. He literally went from worrier to warrior because of his self effort.
When you identify a part of yourself that doesn't want to participate with you to uplift your life, shine the light into that part of your life and then it will loose its power over you. You are in control of your life and destiny and you can smile at what lies ahead because you can trust yourself to create the right circumstances for your success. If you are afraid of failing school, enroll in school and get a tutor. I have not always got great grades because I believe one of the reasons is that I am an independent thinker. That is not a bad thing but you have to be aware that there will be consequences to seemingly going against the system that you philosophical differences with. For instance I got a low grade from my professor for writing a paper because I didn't agree with applying only one philosophy in the nursing field. For one thing I through it would be boring and for another each individual doesn't fit the same cookie cutter. When you feel what you have going on is not going for you, you have to make it happen through change.
I always tell myself that I can make it through courses. I have taken numerous hours of chemistry for instance and for someone who left school at fifteen it was quite an accomplishment. Pull all your resources together and make sure that you put time and effort into what you do. Give your whole self to what you chose to do and don't go for half measures. Be prepared to sacrifice for your schooling as that will award you with opportunities ahead that you don't yet imagine. Do things the right way. Don't cheat on tests or plagiarise other's work when you write papers to be handed in for grading. It has been my experience that this is quite the norm as I had a mentor in graduate school who was a graduate of Boston University in a very competitive program. Her advise to me was to keep a drawer in a filing cabinet in my Sorority and share papers that particular professors had graded favorably. I saw some of my class mates passing papers between them in the hallways. I would always rather do my own work because you are the one who is going to be accountable for producing that knowledge in your work place by making the right choices and other job performance measures.
Faith and prayer is a big part of how I go about doing things and if God wants you to do a particular thing you will be awakened to and driven by that powerful urge to further your education, buy a particular property or whatever it is. Pray and some people use fasting which works for many and is recommended in the Bible. Be humble before God always and let His love guide you. Be careful for what you wish for the saying goes. Similarly be careful what you pray for because you most likely will receive what you ask for. Once you have been infused with the energy and desire to create wealth, knowledge, health etc., in you life you will then take the next step in the process which is action. Experience yourself energetically in the place where you want your goals to materialize. For instance when I moved to the Bay Area in California I actually could see myself there and had contacted people and thus started the ball rolling. I also cared for one of the most lovable and remarkable people I have ever known. So we might be drawn for a certain purpose and God will have an additional purpose for us as we are His servants here on earth. My friend had an immense influence on my life and I have felt great love for him ever since.
Learn to modify your goals and dates that you have set to achieve them. Bruce Lee said that we don't necessarily have to achieve our goals, it's the process that counts towards our happiness and character building. There are no mistakes, only learning experiences. Meditate regularly and if you feel a certain resistance or block let the meditation guide you to your next step. You have the answers you need inside and you will learn to trust in your abilities to meet all of your needs. Start each day early. My Teacher used to say the best hours for meditation were between 3 and 6 am before the world awakes and the earth is still. Meditation allows you to go deep inside and connect with your higher self. You can take care of your daily chores and self care needs and have your day planned before breakfast! Connecting on the inside makes it easy to focus on what your priorities need to be and what steps are necessary for you to reach your daily goal. Set a main goal for yourself and then break it down to weekly and daily goals. Self talk is important so don't be overly critical if you don't achieve the outcomes you wanted. Be grateful for what you did accomplished and know that the next day you can reevaluate your strategy and start again. Never give up. I repeat never give up. You will be able to make breakthroughs, you just need time. Whatever you give yourself to will yield fruit. When things appear to not be working out you don't know how this will benefit you in the grand scheme of things. It might mean that money will come to you because of a project you have given yourself to and perhaps someone stole the project from you because of their lack of knowledge about universal laws. Know that if anyone intentionally tries to harm you through stopping you from earning the money you deserve it will haunt them. The laws of attraction and karma work that way. It will hit them in the back as they say. Just be patient, use your resources and keep working on your goals. Sarah Palin says that her father told her to "Reload the gun!" That means not walking away from aggressors. Apathy is not a good thing and in my experience is disempowering. Put your power behind what you believe in and keep walking and praying as an African American friend once told me to do.
I will use two quotes to summarize what I have written: "Cherish your vision and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements." ~ Napoleon Hill. "All great achievements require time." ~ Maya Angelou. Walk with the Lord in your heart and your life will shine like a bright star. When you have walked the path don't shut the gate behind you but stand at the gate and welcome others to journey with you to free themselves from their own inner limitations and obstacles that will lead to success. God bless you!

Pull all your resources together and make sure that you put time and effort into what you do. Give your whole self to what you chose to do and don't go for half measures. Be prepared to sacrifice for your schooling as that will award you with opportunities ahead that you don't yet imagine. Do things the right way. Don't cheat on tests or plagiarise other's work when you write papers to be handed in for grading. It has been my experience that this is quite the norm as I had a mentor in graduate school who was a graduate of Boston University in a very competitive program. Her advise to me was to keep a drawer in a filing cabinet in my Sorority and share papers that particular professors had graded favorably. I saw some of my class mates passing papers between them in the hallways. I would always rather do my own work because you are the one who is going to be accountable for producing that knowledge in your work place by making the right choices and other job performance measures.
Faith and prayer is a big part of how I go about doing things and if God wants you to do a particular thing you will be awakened to and driven by that powerful urge to further your education, buy a particular property or whatever it is. Pray and some people use fasting which works for many and is recommended in the Bible. Be humble before God always and let His love guide you. Be careful for what you wish for the saying goes. Similarly be careful what you pray for because you most likely will receive what you ask for. Once you have been infused with the energy and desire to create wealth, knowledge, health etc., in you life you will then take the next step in the process which is action. Experience yourself energetically in the place where you want your goals to materialize. For instance when I moved to the Bay Area in California I actually could see myself there and had contacted people and thus started the ball rolling. I also cared for one of the most lovable and remarkable people I have ever known. So we might be drawn for a certain purpose and God will have an additional purpose for us as we are His servants here on earth. My friend had an immense influence on my life and I have felt great love for him ever since.
Learn to modify your goals and dates that you have set to achieve them. Bruce Lee said that we don't necessarily have to achieve our goals, it's the process that counts towards our happiness and character building. There are no mistakes, only learning experiences. Meditate regularly and if you feel a certain resistance or block let the meditation guide you to your next step. You have the answers you need inside and you will learn to trust in your abilities to meet all of your needs. Start each day early. My Teacher used to say the best hours for meditation were between 3 and 6 am before the world awakes and the earth is still. Meditation allows you to go deep inside and connect with your higher self. You can take care of your daily chores and self care needs and have your day planned before breakfast! Connecting on the inside makes it easy to focus on what your priorities need to be and what steps are necessary for you to reach your daily goal. Set a main goal for yourself and then break it down to weekly and daily goals. Self talk is important so don't be overly critical if you don't achieve the outcomes you wanted. Be grateful for what you did accomplished and know that the next day you can reevaluate your strategy and start again. Never give up. I repeat never give up. You will be able to make breakthroughs, you just need time. Whatever you give yourself to will yield fruit. When things appear to not be working out you don't know how this will benefit you in the grand scheme of things. It might mean that money will come to you because of a project you have given yourself to and perhaps someone stole the project from you because of their lack of knowledge about universal laws. Know that if anyone intentionally tries to harm you through stopping you from earning the money you deserve it will haunt them. The laws of attraction and karma work that way. It will hit them in the back as they say. Just be patient, use your resources and keep working on your goals. Sarah Palin says that her father told her to "Reload the gun!" That means not walking away from aggressors. Apathy is not a good thing and in my experience is disempowering. Put your power behind what you believe in and keep walking and praying as an African American friend once told me to do.
I will use two quotes to summarize what I have written: "Cherish your vision and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements." ~ Napoleon Hill. "All great achievements require time." ~ Maya Angelou. Walk with the Lord in your heart and your life will shine like a bright star. When you have walked the path don't shut the gate behind you but stand at the gate and welcome others to journey with you to free themselves from their own inner limitations and obstacles that will lead to success. God bless you!

Care.ly for those you serve!
All of us have to deal with the political climate that affects the economy and thus the job market. Now more than ever it is important to have several steams of income. If you have a job keep it and try to save money. With all your spare time and with total commitment develop a business plan. That plan will include your business mission, goals and measurable outcomes that will help you keep track on your progress. Marketing is the most important means of promoting your business so you need to get linked with people who can mentor you.
I recommend that you start a Face-book fan page which allows you to promote your business but doesn't restrict the number of contacts you can recruit to join your page. Your professional image is what will attract people to you. You will gain trust through consistent professional presentations via video and blog articles. When people join your group be sure to send them a note to welcome them to the group and let them know that you welcome their comments and suggestions. Keep a conversation topic going. Write a blog article each day and post it to your site(s.) Follow up with people and ask them to give you feedback. If you are starting a new service you may offer basic services for free. For instance I am a Professional Life Coach and can provide an initial complimentary consultation. That would be enough to help a person get focused on what it is that they want to do and identify goals and set dates to achieve those goals. The role of a Life Coach doesn't end there because in my role I am totally behind the person who uses my service. I link with them through prayer and constantly uphold them in my thoughts. I do research for clients and help develop daily plans that bring about positive results. I also coach people to learn and practice meditation daily; journal and do the self- enquiry that is necessary for spiritual development.
Prepare for your destiny by clearing emotional baggage. According to the law of attraction we attract people and things to us according to our own vibrational frequency. Have you heard the saying "I can feel his vibes?" That is because you are tuned into that frequency yourself. If you are at a higher vibrational level you will attract money and other measures of success that you may wish to attain. Believe it and achieve it through inner work. Suze Orman says that we have to be in complete harmony with all aspects of our being. That means all realms of your life. Your relationships, finances etc. A coach can help you focus on the areas that are holding you back and bring you up to speed in a short period of time. Isn't it time to get what you deserve?
Write a list of priorities to achieve the success that you need and deserve. Put yourself first. My Teacher said that we can have all the zeros in the world but unless there is a one first, they don't mean a thing! Remember to take good care of yourself. Your second priority most likely will be time. It takes time to build a business and keep the customers coming. Marketing is the key. The key to marketing is relationships. You will have to spend time reaching out to people on social networking sites and networking groups. Contact thirty people each day and develop relationships and trust through openness and consistency. Your you set for yourself intention will be the vital force to drive you to success. Make an intention daily to greet each person with love and respect. Welcoming is a high spiritual act that will warm your own heart and be felt by those whom you communicate with. Center after meditation and check your own energy. Are you able to develop a relationship based on caring? If you give you will receive back. That is a natural law. It actually behooves you to be kind and generous toward others.
