Healing Silence

Silence is healing and yet many of us are busy chattering and avoiding silence.  We tend to find silence awkward  and uncomfortable.  We don't know what to do with it and as a result we talk, talk, talk our heads off.  We are avoiding our thoughts because we believe that they may be too painful.  I silence we become fearful because now it is only us and our thoughts, nothing to deter us from the truth.  We keep ourselves busy so that we are not sitting in silence and yet the very thing we are avoiding is the very thing that will heal us.  Silence is really a way to hold reverence and we should intentionally hold ourselves reverent every day by becoming silent.  It is the very thing we need to destress and rebuild our inner strength.  

Mediation is a way to become silent and let go of the chatter that makes us feel anxious.  When we meditate we are giving ourselves a chance to bring in the light of life and gather our feelings.  Just sitting and taking some deep breaths with the intention to relax is healing for the mind and body.  We should do this each and every day for a period of time in the morning and at night.  A few minutes of reverence, silence, mediation will result in positive energy because we are saying yes to self care and self nurturing.  Silence is truly "golden" and meant to give us that time to regroup and release bad energy.  Breathing in light and exhaling stress is the way that I imagine it.  By taking the time each day to honor yourself you are giving your mind, body and spirit the message that you matter, that you are important.  

I want to support and encourage every one of my readers to sit or lay down for a minimum of fifteen minutes in the morning and afternoon to become silent and clear the cobwebs around you.  Honor yourself for thirty minutes a day by being reverent and loving to yourself.  Try this for twenty one days and see what happens.  I guarantee that it will manifest something different, something that you will note brings your vibration soaring up.  

Activity: 
1. Set up a comfortable place to hold silence.  Put on some mediation or melodic music.  Lay down.
2. Inhale through the nose for a count of ten, hold it for a count of four, exhale through your mouth fully pushing the breath out. Do this ten times while envisioning light coming into your heart as you inhale and stress releasing as you exhale. 
3. Lay in silence as you listen to music that will relax you.  If something comes to mind be ready with a short message like: I am centered in peace and reverence.  Do this for fifteen minutes as you continue to breath into your heart and with loving intention.  You may hold your hand over your heart as you imagine breathing into it.  
4.  Commit to doing this for 21 day in a row.  

Note: Having a space that you set up for recent time would be recommended.  Decorate that space with a beautiful blanket or mat and artifacts that have meaning for you.  Consider candles that are battery operated inside glass containers of beautiful colorations.  Make your space beautiful and representative of peace and serenity.

A Seasoned Vs Old Person

Those of you who know me personally might be aware that I don't use the word "old".  I don't think that people should be referred to with a word like old and I believe that as we live longer lives we are wiser and that we can be looked upon as "seasoned".  For me the word seasoned means that we have lived a good life and that we have gone from one season to another experiencing life and the many ups and downs of it.  I don't see the word old as one that honors any human being for their acquisition of wisdom and the things they have been able to overcome.  I for one consider myself a seasoned man not an "old man". There are so many meanings to the word old but the one that I am not in agreement with is the connotation that older is less than and younger is more important.  Unfortunately we live in a world where youth is celebrated and seasoned people are looked down on.  The thought is that younger people are more attractive or that they are m...

Your Skirt Is Over Your Head

I am uncertain as to how many of my readers know what I mean about putting your skirt over your head.  All I know is that my sister once said it and I think I heard it in a movie once.  I do know that in the movie "Mermaids" Cher who played the mom had some great lines about being a woman and just having a good time with life.  In one of those what should be famous lines Cher's daughter played by Winnona Ryder says: "Don't you think yoiiu are too old for that dress?"to which Cher responds with: "Don't be silly Charlotte, a woman is never too old".  In another part there is a stunning young man waiting on their porch to welcome them to the country area where they moved and upon setting eyes on him Winnona Ryder who is Charlotte is mezmerized by him.  Cher suddenly turns around and says: "too bad your hell bent on becoming a nun".  To say that Cher truly pulls the dress over her head is really minimizing her role in this movie that I wo...

Visualize It, Manifest It.

Let me just excuse myself from the non-believers as I know you are out there and the mere idea of believing and then achieving seems silly.  If you are one of these people, you should stop reading now and simply not waste any time because if you don't believe in yourself then you will not understand how manifestation works.  This blog is not just about believing and then getting what you believe in but more importantly how to go from the thought of being your highest self to actually being your highest self. And so if you believe, even a little, keep going because this is about having what you want in life ether spiritually, emotionally or physically.  Here are some ways to get there: Setting Your Intention: The very first thing to do when you want to manifest something (joy, money, relationship) is to set your intention.  You can set your intention by speaking of what you want in a way that feels intentional. An intention can sound like this: My intention is ...
