Meditation

Meditation is the art of staying in this present moment. A sleepy person either lives in the past moment or is dreaming about the future life. But a meditator stays in this present moment and is alert about his thoughts and actions.

Any action done with awareness is meditation. Meditation means to be fully aware of our actions, thoughts, feelings and emotions. Another name of meditation is passive awareness.

Meditation is not concerned with any activity but it is concerned with our alertness while doing any action. Meditation means to add awareness and alertness in our actions.

Meditation is not thinking about any god, chanting any mantra or practicing any concentration exercise. Meditation is to be passively aware of our thoughts and feelings.

Concentration exercises makes the mind stronger. Meditation does not make the mind strong but it takes us beyond the mind. Meditation is all about dis-identifying with the mind. Meditation is to be alert about our thoughts and witnessing our desires rather than indulging in them

WASTE NO TIME

Use your time wisely, for it is the only thing of real value of possession on the earthly plane.  When you waste it, it is a grave setback to your soul evolution.  You can never be sure how many hours you have to spend in this body, your compressed psychic  incubator.  Your days are gift, so use them correctly.

Be organized about how you use your time.  Concentrate (which means to intesify) on things that align with your heart's desire.  After all, the moment you pass worrying, getting upset, dwelling on resentments and negativity, and engaging om activities you do not believe in cannot be recouped.  The soul is immortal, but it incarnates in a physical body for designated period in order to grow,evolve, and fulfill it spurpose.  If you squander the life and you certainly can choose to do so, you simply prolong your pain and suffering and hold yourself and others back from self realization.  Recognize how you misuse your days, your most precious earthly quality, before you arrive at death's door, for then it will be too late.

Do not waste other people's time either.  It is emotionall indulgent and disrespectful to break agreements, send mixed messages, arrive late for appointments (or miss them altogether), or be unaccountable.  your hours here on earth are the only true gold you have, and while wasting your own resources is bad enough, taking away someone else's is the height of selfishness.

In your relationships, be on the time and mindful of your intensions while respecting the needs and desires of other people.  Value their priorities as your own.  Although imposing your perspectives and will on others may appear to get you what you want, it will not work in the long run.

You have all the time you need to accomplish anything true and meaningful that you desire, but you do not have a moment to waste.  That does not mean that every moment has to be about creating high-octane results.  Sometimes the most effective thing you can do is noting.

Using your days [rpe[r;y means recognizing the power of rest, patience, and waiting for the natural course of events to unfold.  Realize that you are not the only one acting in the Universe.  The Lord of Creation is also workig, and occasionally you must hold on for Divine direction.

Using your time correctly is the final frontier in the soul's evolution.  You cannot control it, you can only manage it, and ideally you should do so with great care.  spend your days on what matters, and do not devote any energy to what does not.

The root of this lesson is to be fully self-reliant.  It iis important and good to seek support, but not to ask, wish, or dream that any one will carry you.  Your soul seeks self-realization because that is its highest purpose.  Desiring or allowing yourself to be propped up by another is a great waste of time because the spiriit will rebel.  You may not know when, but you can be certain that will.

When you embrace time as gold to expland carefully on what is important and true for you, life becomes eternal.  you stretch your minutes and no longer chase them, and they serve you and your growth.  The more you value them, the more you will have.  Ultimately you will transcend the clock altogether and turn your existence into and equisite work of self-realization.  Greatness can be achieved in the span of one incarnation, when you use it wisely.  Just look at Leonaro da Vinci or Michelangelo, to cite a couple of examples of what is possible.

Time as the precious commodity that it is, and dole it our only on worthy endeavors.  Doing this will take you directly toward mastery of purpose on a soul level and will put you full in charge of your life.

NOW WE CAN APPLY THIS LESSON

Five practical ways to raise your consciousness in 2012 (and beyond)

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger declared 2012 the "Year of Consciousness" for NaturalNews (http://www.naturalnews.com/034554_c...) and pointed out that the ultimate solution to ending tyranny, wars, corporate deception and environmental destruction is to upgrade our consciousness rather than "killing our enemies." This announcement was greatly appreciated by NaturalNews readers, who for the most part have a very positive outlook on 2012 and beyond.

But there was something missing from the announcement: How do we achieve higher consciousness?

And I don't mean burning a roomful of candles, chanting mantras for seven years and mastering the art of transcendental meditation (which takes a lifetime or more). That's not practical for most people in the real world today. What we need is a practical way to upgrade our consciousness right now, here in 2012, in our own living rooms.

That's what this article is about: Five practical ways to raise your level of consciousness starting right now. (I'm also publishing a follow-up article listing things to avoid that crush your consciousness.) For this article, by the way, "raising your consciousness" means expanding your awareness of reality, expanding your connection with other human beings and living systems, and deepening your sense of free will, liberty and being the master of your own destiny through applied decisions and actions. It is not just a "sense of self" but also a heightened sense of how your actions impact the world around you.

Here are the five steps:

#1 - Spend more time in direct contact with nature

Want to boost your conscious awareness? Turn off the TV, ditch the X-Box, and go hiking in a state park somewhere. Go trail running. Plant a garden. Or just take your dog for a walk!

Spending time in nature heightens your senses, opens your heart and expands your sense of connection with who you are and the miracle of creation. So make an effort to spend more time in nature, and if you can manage it, move to a farm or ranch where you can actually live in nature.

#2 - Eat more high-vibration living foods and super-foods

Raising your consciousness means raising your nutritional standards, too. You're never going to attain a high level of self awareness if your brain is running on junk food, chemical preservatives and artificial colors. Those are things, in fact, that destroy awareness and cognitive function.

The highest-vibration foods you can get for awareness expansion are wild-crafted foods you go out and find yourself (in a forest, a field, etc.). The second highest foods are those you grow yourself, usually in a home garden or a sprouting machine.

After years of studying and teaching nutrition, the pattern is obvious: People who live on low-vibration foods (junk foods, fast foods and processed foods) have diminished consciousness and impaired cognitive function. They tend to have narrow, selfish minds and are incapable of assessing information from a wide perspective. They live on microwaveable dinners, they drink diet soda, and they vote for whatever political candidate the media tells them to. They are, in essence, "zombies" who operate more as brainwashed consumers than conscious human beings.

The junk food poisoning of our modern world is one of the most astonishing un-reported stories of our generation. I plan to cover it more here on NaturalNews, by the way, to reveal the links between the junk food supply and the downfall of complex civilization. For now, focus your effort on increasing your consumption of high-vibration foods, meaning living foods, sprouted foods, wild-crafted foods and home-grown foods.

#3 - Clean your clutter to clear your mind

Is your house a jumble of clutter? Do you have so much junk stacked up everywhere that you only have a narrow pathway through it all from your bedroom to your kitchen? The more clutter you have in your home or office, the more cluttered your mind tends to be. Eliminating that clutter is key to finding some peace in your own home.

I've struggled with this, by the way. The situation becomes even more complex when you practice preparedness food storage like I do. As the boxes, cans and other gear stacks up, it's not easy to get it all put away in an organized manner. The thing I've found that works best is a heavy-duty steel shelving unit (purchased at a local hardware store) combined with high-quality storage bins like these made by Akro-Mills: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...

I use Post-It tape (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...) and a permanent marker to write labels on these bins. The tape is sticky enough to stay put, but easy to pull off if you ever want to change the label. My bins are labeled with titles like: Flashlights, Batteries, Compass & Navigation, First Aid and so on.

Message from Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein once stated that “before God we are all equally wise and equally foolish.” The important part is to give ourselves permission to be foolish, and to realize that our foolishness does not make us any less of a gift.

It’s really easy to get distracted in life. Life throws us so many curve balls. The better we become at discovering the Gift in life’s curve balls, the more we discover the Gift of our unique genius.

What if we stopped and took the time to identify each and every quality in ourselves and others? What if we sat and looked for the Gifts in the things we formerly judged?

What if we trained our minds to wake up each day to look for the Gifts in EVERYTHING that enters our lives?

It’s really no secret by now that the more we practice something the better we get at it.

Imagine waking up each day asking, How can I further develop my Gifts? How can I share my Gift with others? Now imagine a planet of people all focusing from this place, inspiring and leading one another to appreciate the Gift of their being.

How do you discover the Gift? It starts by discovering precisely how the Gift is in every single part of you and in every single moment of your life. By honoring the Gift in everything around you, you give permission to the unique Gift of You to shine.

It is up to us to love each part of ourselves and others. We are indeed each a unique perfect expression of the divine. The more we allow ourselves to love, the more enlightened and empowered we become, a Gift of perfect service.
