Day 29 of the 30 day meditation. Love meditation.

Twenty-nine days down and one more to go. I am enjoying meditating everyday and find that sometimes I just do it for a few minutes when I need that energy pick me up, or to release those tense moments.

When I first saw the meditation for today, naturally I became excited. Will this help me find Mr. Right? Will this lead me to find the one? Well, I completely misinterpreted this meditation and was pleasantly surprised when it began. This meditation isn't about finding anyone other than yourself. "To love oneself is the beginning of a life long romance." -Oscar Wilde. How true are those words? When you love yourself, you open yourself to love others, whether it be family, friend's or a significant other and this is partly because you are creating a positive energy, or vibe.

This meditation is also about forgiveness of those who have hurt you, and releasing that pain, as well as an exercise in self-love. Love is pure. When we are born, we are born with the capacity to love all with no judgments. It is circumstances that end up shaping us and in some cases, causing a fear of love, because you don't want to be hurt anymore. I get it, we've all been there. These feelings aren't exclusive to one person, and I don't want you to miss a good part of your life, shutting someone, maybe 'the one' out, because you might have felt alone and thought no one understood. It is also a way to push family or friend's away and no one wants to do that. So open your heart when doing this meditation.

This exercise isn't just for people that need to learn self-love. It is also a good meditation for those who have love for themselves. It is about learning to go in love. To shower your life with love, not just yourself or someone you love.

Before we start, remember what I have said in the past, 'you are enough'. Now let's begin. Breathe in to the count of five, exhale your worries to the count of eight. Breathe in clarity. Breathe out stress. Breathe in love. Breathe out self-loathing and self-doubt. Now, while breathing naturally, sit and say to yourself 10 times, out loud or in your head, "love is pure", not loveispure, but love. is. pure. This isn't about how fast you can say this ten times, it is about hearing and understanding each word. Take a moment of silence to clear your mind and when you are ready, picture yourself, and repeat for a minute or two, 'I love you". Feel yourself saying this to yourself, as you feel your spirit light up and begin to glow. When you have finished, take a moment of silence to once again clear your mind. Now, picture someone you feel you need to forgive. Repeat ten times, slowly, "I forgive you, because I need to love myself and I deserve to be happy." Once again, take a moment of silence and one last time, with a clear mind, repeat to yourself, with you in mind, "I love you". One last time, take a moment to feel the peace you are achieving, as you begin to appreciate yourself.

Until tomorrow...Feel the peace and love inside of you pulsating out to the people around you.

From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so. It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me. I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché. Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves. One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost". It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time. Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors. Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you. So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are. You stop trying so hard...

The single person's guide to Valentine's Day.

There are a million and ten places open on Valentine's day. Severa...

Meditation for a Full or New Moon.

Are you one of those people who are a little unbalanced emotionally, or mentally, during a full moon? Perhaps you go a little crazy, or maybe you turn into a hairless werewolf? Well, I may have the solution you are looking for. I can't promise it will work miracles, but there is a possibility it might be able to help bring you back to a desirable level of sanity. Some people don't give the moon enough credit. Sure a full moon lights up the earth a bit more than usual, and sure it might make some canines bay at the moon, but it can also mess with your personal being. Think about it, moon cycles play with the ocean tide right? Well, seeing how the body is made up of a large percentage of water, isn't it plausible that the moon is also playing with the human body? Throwing it off balance and making you feel not so emotionally fresh? I am not a scientist. I am not a trained person when it comes to meditations, so I am putting that out there now. ...
