Depression affects millions of people worldwide; in fact, this affliction can be experienced by even young people today due to a stressful lifestyle. When depression sets in, people’s lives are affected since they stop doing their normal routines. There are many factors that contribute to depression such as death of a loved one, sudden changes in one’s life, mood-altering drugs, giving birth, or even seasonal changes. A change in sleeping or eating habits comes along with depression as well as withdrawing from social interaction.

Depressed people spend most of their time being alone and prefer not to be talk about their feelings even to their loved ones. Sadly, severe depression when unchecked can lead to suicide as revealed by most studies on this topic. It is important then to fight depression as much as possible so a person can resume a normal and happy lifestyle. There are many ways of fighting depression aside from taking anti-depressants. Although once is advised to consult a mental health professional to avail of medication and other treatment such as psychotherapy.

Nevertheless, one can fight depression by adopting some of these habits that would surely help in enhancing your mood. First suggestion, get a good night’s rest. Sleeping relaxes the body and mind thereby reducing tension. One can get a good night sleep through scented candles or listening to calming music. It is also beneficial to have a 15-20 minute naptime that can refresh one’s energy for the second half of the day. Next to having enough rest is to manage stress. Loud noise can also contribute to stress so listen to music in low volume. Meditation or prayer can help clear anxiety so one could get peaceful sleep. Inner noise such as worry, guilt, fear and other negative thoughts contribute to depression. Fighting depression also means having a more positive mindset. One can try reading inspirational books, or watching good movies that can be encouraging. Exercising regularly can also help fight depression since oxygen is fed into our brain when we exercise.

Running outdoors gives a breath of fresh air and a change of scenery. Also, exposure to sunlight means additional lighting that can beat the blues instead of sulking in a dark room. Along with exercise, drinking enough water and eating healthy food can nourish the body so it can build a stronger immune system to fight disease during depression. Fighting depression is not hard; it is a matter of determination.

brain waves Intention And Creating A Sacred Space

Leave a reply

To have in mind a purpose or plan, to have meaning and direction, to aim for and achieve a desired outcome. With this the Universe can align to make what seems to be impossible possible.

Dare to follow your dreams, your love, your goals and passions.
I believe, now is the time more than ever for setting intensions. Setting your Intention is the first step. You can be specific about something in particular for example; change of career or qualities such as feeling calm and relaxed.

When should you set your Intention?
Your Intentions can be daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. Here are some examples;

To be fit physically, emotionally and spiritually
Have excellent health physically, emotionally and spiritually
To work less
To have financial freedom
Be in a loving relationship
To be married and have children
To improve my knowledge and skills
Open your life to love
Celebrate your life
Commune with the Divine
Celebrate your successes
Create financial success
Create abundance and wealth
Honour your transformation in life
Honour Mother Earth
Celebrate the cycles of the Moon
Bring the spirit of nature in to your home
To have a pet
To travel
Enjoy a holiday
Practice mindfulness
Honour all that is good

You have endless opportunities to create an Intention.

Creating Your Sacred Space; When setting an Intention I like to create a sacred space, this helps me too focus. Being creative and surrounded by beauty is essential for me personally so I set a theme. I light candles, have essential oils diffusing, display flowers and crystals, have music playing softly in the background. You van have a candle to light when speaking your Intention, a pen and paper or a journal to write in. Before we go any further it is important to be prepared. Know what your Intention is before you settle in and have it written out and remember you can change the wording or intention. If you are feeling stuck, share it with someone, play with different words. You will know when they are the right ones.

Below I have given you some suggestions on how you can create a sacred space. You may already have a favourite way of doing this. Stick with what is comfortable for you. It is not always going to be practical or possible to spend the time on setting up a sacred space. You can hop out of bed and decide right there and then what your Intention is for the day. Or, you want to have a restful sleep, in which case before going to bed will be more appropriate. Actually before going to bed is a very good time to set your Intention for the following day for example you may tell yourself that you will wake feeling energised and vibrant. Whatever you are doing, see that you are creating something wonderful through your day and stay with gentleness in your heart.

Something that I know to be true is through years of teaching energetic Aromatherapy and creating blends is that ‘Thought is Energy, Energy is Matter’ whatever we do, we are pouring our energy and thoughts in to it. Be mindful of what you are thinking. Whatever you are thinking is what you will create.

Getting back to setting a sacred space; Firstly I cleanse my space and what better way than to use an Aromatherapy room spray that I make specifically for my Intention. Another way to cleanse and I love this, is to smudge with frankincense resin.

Make sure you are comfortable, allow yourself to relax by breathing in and out slowly and rhythmically, breathe in and out, at the same time you are feeling your body shed any unwanted thoughts and feelings on the out breath. As you take in your next breath feel the purity, the goodness and positive energy flowing in to every cell in your body and all around you. Your body, mind and soul are one, you are feeling grounded, connected, filled with love and pure life force. Remember where you are now is moving you forward, embrace it, enjoy it. You are now ready to begin.

Take a moment to focus on the here and now, gently breathing in and out.
Spend a little time reading over your intention, if it doesn’t roll off your tongue and you are not resonating with it, change the wording and play with it. When you can speak your intention with ease, grace and conviction, it is complete.

The next step is to write your Intention on a fresh piece of paper, staying focused on your desired intention. Say it out loud and repeat it as many times as you feel comfortable with. At the same time light your chosen *candle and repeat your intention again. Here you are working with the element of fire which represents action and transformation. Keep the candle burning until it burns down, without interruption.
There are many ways in which to enhance and empower your Intention, sometimes I anoint the candle with an essential oil blend and roll it in crushed herbs. You can do as little or more as you wish.

You can colour co-ordinate your candles to the element of fire for your intention by using a red candle.
You can also follow the cycles of the Moon, when the Moon is full she is at her most potent, when waxing, this is a time for building and when waning a time to release.

Self Talk to Create Your Intention:

I will address myself with self praise
I will treat myself with loving kindness
I Magnify my Magnificence
My heart is filled with gratitude
There is gentleness in my heart

Remember to be aware of what is going on in your mind during the day. What we think we create!

* Never leave your candle to burn without being there.This is a fire hazard, so planning your time is important. If you do go out, blow out your candle and re-light it when you are back.

When Steve’s alarm rang on Monday morning, he woke up with dread. It was the same day of the week when his energy and enthusiasm were the lowest. He wanted to sleep more, relax and do anything that didn’t require him to go to work. The same old pattern of scurrying through the traffic to reach office, attending tedious meetings, making presentations and preparing a list of weekly tasks was overwhelming. He would get tense thinking about it from Sunday itself.

Sounds familiar? Many people dread Mondays and the start of a week is generally sluggish for most of them. But there are ways to overcome the anxiety associated with the first day of the week and make it as bright as a Friday. Some of those ways are discussed here:

Make Fridays productive – Many people dislike Mondays because they stress about completing pending jobs from the previous week. People start unwinding from Friday itself. One must stop this urge of loosening up from Friday and focus on completing most of the tasks before the weekend, so that there are no deadlines or pending assignments to be taken care of on Monday. The start of the week should be fresh.
Make sure to have fun during weekend – Mondays appear challenging to those who don’t take a break even during the weekends. It is important to eat well, take ample rest, unwind by meeting friends, watch a movie or hit the dance floor at a club to renew the spirits and feel invigorated. Weekends should be used to recalibrate the mind and body.
Plan ahead – Mondays can be stress-free if one plans well, preferably the previous week. Making a list of tasks and then dividing them throughout next week, delegating some and marking few to be discussed with coworkers can help one to navigate through Monday blues breezily.
Take good night’s sleep and wake up early – One must get up early on a Monday morning, devote some time to a workout and some relaxation technique like yoga or meditation, eat a hearty breakfast, get dressed properly and then leave for work with a relaxed mind. This can be done only when one sleeps on time on Sunday night.
Listen to upbeat music on Monday morning – Research has established that listening to music can be mood elevating. One can start the week on a musical note by charging the spirits with soothing sounds.
Have proper breakfast – A good breakfast can set the tone for a day and even a week. However, many people don’t realize the importance of this, just rush out of the door and skip the most important meal of the day. This is the reason one may feel lousy and inconsistent throughout the day. A person should eat a healthy and scrumptious breakfast like scrambled eggs, avocado toast, oatmeal with fruits, smoothie, etc.
Get dressed smartly – If one looks good, he/she tends to feel good. One should plan on a Sunday night about the dress he/she would like to wear on Monday. One must look his or her best to feel confident and energetic.
Interact with coworkers – When one reaches office on Monday, he or she should engage in short and positive conversations with colleagues before starting work. Spreading positivity can brighten up one’s mood and keep the spirit alive. Keeping pictures of the loved ones at the workstation can also be helpful in fighting stress.
Recovering from blues

Sometimes, a person’s anxiety may persist throughout the week, month or even longer. This signals towards an underlying problem, which must be addressed if the self-help tips do not come to one’s rescue.

It is always essential to choose a power yoga video for the instructor. Look for someone you feel will push you and encourage you and be fun to watch repeatedly. Two famous yoga teachers are Rodney Yee and Bryan Kest, based in Los Angeles. Bryan Kest trained with Ashtanga master Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.

The power yoga video you choose should also allow for different versions of the various poses so that the beginners can use them easily and improve to more challenging postures over time.

Some of the best power yoga videos to get in shape are:

Bryan Kest’s videos: In these videos, you join Kest in his yoga studio in Santa Monica, CA for a power yoga workout. Although not featured in the videos, many famous celebrities like Rhea Perlman, David Duchovny, and Elisabeth Shue enjoy going to this Kest’s packed, ancient loft studio.

Kest’s yoga videos are quite popular and consist of a variety of workouts.

Volume 1: This is for beginners and is well designed to provide challenges for even users of higher levels as well. Kest’s Jersey-boy voice is quite soothing and hypnotic with stretching and strengthening moves are changed with repose to keep even first timers really going.

There is also Volume 2, which focuses on muscle toning and Volume 3: Introducing further challenges.

Another well known yoga instructor is Rodney Yee. Yee teaches a challenging, poses, controlling breath, movement, tension, and relaxation in his video. These poses are Sun Salutation, standing poses, forward bends, back bends, twists, and arm balances. At first they are quite easy, but movements start to get more difficult with each repetition of the series.

You can do as much of the series as you like. The entire workout is about 65-minutes of exercise if you’re an experienced and serious yoga practitioner. If you are familiar with yoga, you can really start at any level.

The setting of Yee’s videos is really gorgeous and quite relaxing, too. His exercises help you to get stronger. Rodney Yee helps you to deepen your practice, by this continuous yoga flow emphasizes on all essential poses.

It is great way for boosting fat burning muscle and bone strength, developing stamina, reshaping your abs, upper and lower body, and moving with mindfulness.

You may find the movements are quite slow, but you’ll feel their intensity as you go through the workout. In this yoga practice, the videos make you get involved mentally as well as physically.

This power yoga video demands your full concentration and sheer slowness all the time. It is a form of meditation as well.

This power yoga video is quite encouraging and challenging, this exclusive DVD gives bonus, advanced options of the exercises with verbal cues and music only.

One of the best ways I have found to review a lot of yoga videos to see which workout program you want to stick to, is by getting some to try from your local library or by renting the videos. That way, you can evaluate several and see what you like and don’t like about each one. If you find a number of videos you’d like to use on a regular basis, it makes good sense to invest in them at that point.

There is nothing like Yoga for keeping your body, mind and emotions in good shape! I have had much experience with various forms of exercise and in fact taught Physical Education in schools for a while as a younger woman. I now know that Yoga is the best exercise program out there.

To start, it is very important to learn how to breathe deeply and then to focus on your breath throughout your entire program. A good Yoga teacher will be sure to show you how to breathe deeply and will direct you in the co-ordination of the breath with each position and movement.

Slow movement and long held poses (the stretched position) is the best method to strengthen. Some instructors, specially for young people, do fast repetitive movements. This faster repetition does works on flexibility, but not so much on strengthening. Retaining the pose ongoing for longer periods of time is where it is at! Many people do not realize that you are doing weight training with Yoga using your own body as the weight.

The stretching factor from doing Yoga can not be beaten and in fact prevents injuries from other forms of exercise. People with back and joint problems will find great benefits from doing Yoga. After years of my coming and going from doing Yoga after having had back surgery twice when in my twenties, I finally I learned that Yoga is essential for me. It was therapy that worked for me of which I discovered after my second back surgery. I later ran into further difficulties from time to time with my back and joints when I stopped doing Yoga. So, I got myself going again and finally became a Yoga instructor. I will never stop doing Yoga again! Yoga helps keep me healthy and active along with healthy eating and a good night’s sleep.

A Yoga fitness program starts with focus on the breath and gentle warm-up stretches. After warming up, the program will lead into the heavier poses (exercise positions) and bigger stretches. Some poses start from a standing position, some are done down on the floor from hands and knees and other from lying on your back. A non-slip exercise mat is used and Yoga is done barefoot. Some Yoga instructors use a few props in their classes (blocks, balls, ropes etc.), but these are not necessary to have to do a good program. Including balancing poses in a routine is important specially as you get older and perhaps find yourself tripping over nothing! For those who cannot get down on the floor, a fair amount of Yoga can also be done from chairs, but in my experience it is best to have Chair Yoga separate from the Mat Class. All the many styles of Yoga popping up today are variations of the original basic Hatha Yoga. Some instructors are more into the philosophical aspects of Yoga than a fitness focus. So, it is important to find out what each instructor’s aim will be all about.

Along with your body becoming more flexible, stronger and with less joint soreness, you will find that Yoga immediately will have a positive effect on your mind and emotions. It is a proven fact that Yoga helps many who suffer from depression. Like any form of exercise, your hormonal system kicks in to provide many benefits, but even more benefit comes from Yoga because of the deep breathing. Deep breathing takes more oxygen to every part of your body, calms down the mind and relaxes the muscles so as they will stretch further. Yoga has a big advantage over other forms of exercise as well with relaxation techniques and meditation methods being part of the program. Also, vocalization, self massage techniques and affirmations can be included. A good program is a balanced program to promote over all well being.

I have benefited from doing Yoga so much that I feel everybody should be doing it! As a senior, I now continue part-time independent music teaching (piano, singing & ukulele)and work on various creative works along visual art which is something I have done, too, since childhood. I instruct morning Yoga for the city in which I live. I am a volunteer for the Legion (Vets). Recently, I opened a new online Variety Shop. Right now I am busy landscaping my yard and gardening. I love to travel when able and for sure do so to visit my family living in other cities at a fair distance. Without doing Yoga, I know that I would not be in shape to do all that I am doing. Daily, I enjoy the companionship of my three dogs who demonstrate the downward dog pose for me often!

relaxing music 13 Stress Reducers & Profit Boosters

Leave a reply

Individual stress control techniques are important.
Meditation, soothing music, biofeedback, and other
techniques work well to help people cope with the
stress of our modern workplace.

The real solution, however, is to recognize that
stress control is a leadership responsibility.
Leaders and managers can do more to control stress
than all of the individual stress relief techniques
combined. Leaders who implement stress control
strategies see the results in reduced absenteeism,
medical costs, health care insurance expenses,
workers comp payments, accidents, complaints, and
so on.

The following 13 stress control strategies
minimize costs such as these and productivity
soars. The workplace is improved. Employees and
their families are happier. Business owners make
more money.

Management can control stress by:

++ Eliminating unreasonable expectations

++ Positioning people in jobs that use their

skills and abilities

++ Adjusting pay for the level of responsibility

assigned to individuals

++ Correcting vague and arbitrary promotion

policies

++ Including employee in making decisions that

affect their jobs

++ Avoiding excessive overtime, even if there is

additional compensation

++ Distributing unpleasant tasks fairly

++ Enforcing policies equally throughout the

organization, from top to bottom

++ Implementing problem-solving strategies and

acceptable mediation of conflicts

++ Using family stress control strategies to

minimize the impact of family separation

caused by travel or long office hours

++ Demonstrating concern for employee welfare

++ Eliminating or minimizing intolerable conditions

such as temperature, hazards, noise, light, and

odors

It is difficult to remove some of these stressors
when the competition is attacking your company or
when you are faced with unfavorable economic conditions,
but this challenge is just as important as anything else
facing those who wear the mantle of leadership.
Making all of these changes can seem overwhelming.
However, you can make an impact by selecting a single
strategy and making a plan to improve it.

Just as corporate leaders are responsible for
maximizing performance and increasing net profits,
they are also responsible for controlling
stressors that affect the bottom line.

brain waves Ascension and The Dimensions

Leave a reply

The fourth dimension fosters the futuristic realization that no one is greater or more important than anyone else. This is the beginning of our understanding of oneness. The oneness stops being a thought or a concept but a reality felt inside and incorporated into feelings, mental thought and belief. How we understand time in this dimension determines how we can manifest and gain access to the deeper meanings and richer benefits of this often-unrealized world. Manifestation has been a hot topic for a couple of decades. Movies, books, workshops and classes have been taught on how to manifest and gain desired objects, but many people feel discouraged with the length of time it takes to manifest their desires. The spirits told me years ago, back in the early 90’s, that time acts as a buffer in third dimension reality. It actually saves people from self-destructing or damaging others. If people actually manifested everything they thought about instantly, we would have bedlam on earth because of the undisciplined minds of most. However, the fourth dimension creates conditions for time that are substantially different from our ordinary reality. Like a dream, fourth dimensional thought and feelings create reality almost immediately but absent the confusion and destructiveness that might be present in our daily life. However, the residues of our third-dimension life often remain in the fourth dimension in the form of fears and doubts that inhibit the full realization that we seek. The progress to the fifth dimensional reality will lead to the falling away of these fears and a more perfect union with the cosmos.

In the fifth dimension there is no illusory limitation and anything is possible. The manifestation of our deepest desires occurs instantly with joy and love where we have dismissed ourselves from artificial constraints of time and limitation. The right brain achieves full dominance in the fifth dimension and we are free and full of love. We are liberated and not restricted to scarcity paradigms that contribute to lower frequency actions. In this dimension we live in the realm of the unconditional-unconditional love, unconditional possibility, unconditional oneness with the universe. There is complete freedom from judgment; in fact, judgment isn’t even conceivable. We live in harmony and are free to express our true selves. Our true essence is at the helm of our thoughts, actions and feelings. We can see and communicate with the non-physical beings that surround us and interact in our lives-power animals, ascended masters and teachers, angels, faeries, and other stellar beings. There is no fear in this plane.

Many of us who practice metaphysics know of these states of being. We experience them regularly. However, existing in these elevated dimensions is usually not “full time.” Often even explaining our “mystical” experiences forces us into the left-brain structures and limited vocabulary, especially in English, which is predominantly a militant language and has few words powerful enough to hold the energy of the mystical experience.

As we strive for ascension and seek to change our vibrations into higher qualities of purity, we must attend vigorously to creating the conditions of receptiveness by staying focused in our right brain. If we do so, we are constantly reinforced and supported with spiritual interaction and magic and are able to better comprehend our amazing existence.

Our challenge is the same as it has always been-to not judge ourselves and to not judge the extraordinary experiences we have while journeying or in meditation. Without judgment, we can connect to the feelings of appreciation that can cause elation. When we have these experiences and then try to express them through the filters and structure of left-brain rigidity and judgment, we fail to fully appreciate our experiences. The left brain cannot comprehend these experiences and it is not supposed to. That is not its function. Ascension is a process that involves many factors. Stimulating and consciously activating the right brain is necessary to the process. We must trigger the right brain to counterbalance the lifetime of conditioning of the left brain.

There are many activities that you can engage in for this process. Journeywork, interacting with non-physical spirit beings, meditation, reacting to art and music, and daydreaming contribute to the continual reconditioning of the mind. I simply like to breathe with the intention of flooding my right brain with oxygen and energy, especially during my quiet times of the day. I envision my right brain “turning on,” “lighting up,” and taking a prominent position in my daily functions. It is amazing the feelings that rush through with this activity. Love, appreciation, and expansion flood my body and my fields of energy. It is a simple and worthy exercise to do throughout the day. The right brain is the source of imagination and you will discover that it is receptive to creative and simulative exercises. We may have been born into a third-dimension reality of limitation and scarcity but it need not remain our imprisonment for life. The choice to break free from these artificial restraints is ours.

meditation music Everything is Energy – Energy is Everything

Leave a reply

As human beings we construct electromechanical devices (microchips and circuit boards) to regulate the flow of energy through electronic devices but still most refuse to believe that Universal energy exists. We physically contain energy in batteries and power plants by means of converting one form of energy into another more immediately useful form, yet still refuse to admit that the same energy that powers our technologies is flowing within all of us every moment of every day. Some refuse to believe because their religion considers Universal energy to be heresy or the whispers of the devil since energy has no form worthy of a deity? The pragmatic types see energy as a fantasy substance used by hippies to think about when they get high. They view it only as a power source for their laptops, cell phones and wide screen TV’s.

Our brains and hearts operate on electrical energy input as do our nervous systems and every other function of our body. It’s what makes our arms move and our eyes blink and our brains function. We use the term ‘take some time off to recharge your batteries’ yet we don’t connect the dots and realize that it is a true statement of fact as beings of this universe. Energy is everywhere, in everything and necessary to what we call ‘life’. When someone is ‘run down’ from expending too much energy they need to sit calmly without expending energy and reclaim the energy they lost before they can go on.

It’s just not cool or pragmatic for some human beings to envision our universe as a molecular soup with energy flowing throughout each of us, being exchanged by each of us then converted by each of us, as a means of locomotion through our universe. If our eye’s weren’t so primitive we might see things as they really are and we could then concentrate on our ‘energy selves’ instead of the primitive beings we see when using our primitive senses?

One day we may realize that our earth, our sun and the galaxy we live in as well as every other galaxy in our physical universe will someday be recycled by the same forces that created our primitive carbon selves in the first place. As energy beings we can and will live on forever in the formation of a new universe and in a new form of energy where our understanding will be limited only by the senses we develop to ‘see’ who we are and where we are.

Meditation is a great way to focus on our ‘energy beings’ as we have our eyes closed to shut off our primitive sense of sight and can therefore concentrate on ‘brain sight’ and the energy of our thoughts. When we can let go of the beast within we can ‘see’ our universe as it really is and with enough repetition and training we may be able to ‘see’ despite our primitive senses?

I have some great meditation music and guided meditations that I use nightly to regain some inner peace and control over stress and everyday life.

Try it out and enjoy your own journey through our world of energy.

Anxiety can really takes it toll and affect daily functioning. Are you a victim of anxiety too? There are many techniques that can be helpful in stress reduction. One thing that you should keep in mind is that the outcomes depend on your willingness to do something about your agitated state of mind.

Firstly if you do not exercise, start doing it then. You need to do this on regular basis not occasionally. This is the case with many people. They exercise once and then give up. However, if you find yourself exercising regularly, you will experience good results.

Herbal teas are also documented to have a good effect especially teas with jasmine and chamomile. Therefore, trying out these teas can calm your nerves too.

It is the case with some people that they do not like to drink tea, and are just not so fond of exercising. If you fall into this category, try meditating. The idea may sound hilarious but soothing effects have been reported by people, who meditate. Then, why not give it a shot? It can not harm you in any way. It can only improve your condition.

Listening to music or better still taking up a musical instrument can also work wonders. Both of these help in distracting you from the situation that is causing anxiety because listening or playing music increase the brain arousal level.

All the above mentioned techniques have proven to be very effective. Bear in mind that for these techniques to be effective, you really need to show some commitment. Trying them and then leaving them for good will not get you anywhere. You will realize their benefits, if you consciously make an effort to keep at them.

Finally I want to wish you good luck. These techniques will work and out you in better state, if you stick to them.

I’ve been a spiritual seeker for many years now and I’ve always been interested in reading books about spirituality, self-improvement, healing and learning as much as I could for quite some time. I feel like I’ve been blessed by aligning myself with some of the best spiritual teachers through workshops and individual counseling sessions. I’ve had to overcome a lot of obstacles in my life, due to family issues, and I needed a lot of guidance.

One of my mentors was a counselor in Houston, Texas. I spent almost ten years working with this woman who whole-heartedly believed in the power of affirmations. It was sort of like going to confession in the Catholic Church. We would have our session where we would talk about issues, and then I would be assigned my so called homework. Instead of ten “Hail Mary’s” and five “Our Father’s”, it would be to write this affirmation 25 times: “I begin to bless everything that comes into my life as good, good, good.” Then I would write this affirmation in first person with “I”, second person: “You begin”, and third person: “Laureen, begins to.” The reasoning is that yes, I need to affirm myself. When writing in second person, it’s as if someone that I trust is talking right to me. In third person, it’s as if it were written, and already true.

Over the course of 10 years, I have written thousands of affirmations. I’ve written affirmations of healing from past childhood traumas, healing of relationships, healing from a divorce and healing from career changes. I was basically reprogramming my conscious and subconscious negative thoughts into positive “affirming” thoughts. Instead of believing in a “negative belief” that no longer works for me, I worked on accepting and affirming the “positive” experiences from the situation.

In the beginning, I would complain that my hands would get tired from all the writing, but the repetition imprints the affirmation into the subconscious mind. Also, the more times you write an affirmation, the more emotionally involved you get. How can you write “I am healthy in mind, body and spirit” dozens of times, without believing it? Writing, helps you believe it, feel it, and reprogram your mind.

I’ve written affirmations down in journals and post-it-notes around the house. I’ve typed in affirmations on my computer and printed some of them in large type and pasted it to my wall, such as: “The more money I spend, the more money I receive from the Universe”. I tend to like this one a lot! I’ve even taped myself speaking affirmations, so I can listen at home, while I’m doing yoga. I find there isn’t such a thing as too much. We spend so much of our lives in negative surroundings, whether that be at work, or at home, with our family, friends or even watching TV.

When I was in music school, I was a vocal performance major. I use to hear all the time from various students (some instrumentalists), “I can’t sing.” Well, who told them they couldn’t sing, and why did they believe it? I’ve found through years of singing, performing and teaching, that very few people are actually tone deaf. So, why do so many people believe they can’t sing? It’s because someone told them to be quiet in church when they were singing, and from then on, they adopted a negative belief system about singing. Just because they may not have had a pretty voice, or a professional voice, is not the same thing as they “can’t sing”. I found myself coaching a few of these people for my sight-singing class, and lo and behold, they could it.

Not all of us can afford coaches, or counselors, or professionals to help us. But, one thing we can do is help ourselves by working with affirmations. The one great thing about affirmations, is that there is so much information out on the Internet about affirmations. What I like to do is to search through a lot of written affirmations in healing, prosperity, health, career, relationship issues, and find the ones that I like. Then I re-word the affirmation into something that feels right to me. I always make sure that the affirmation is written in the “present” tense and that it is positive and specific.

Some affirmations have a bit of a “charge” let’s say. What I mean by a “charge” is that you are stating something positive, but you’re feeling some negative emotions as you write. All this means, is that somehow, you’re not quite sure you actually believe this, and there is some healing to do in this area. As you keep writing the affirmation, there can be a whole series of emotions flowing, if you allow yourself to go through the process. The experts say that the subconscious mind doesn’t know what is real, or not real. So, why not give ourselves the best positive belief system, to replace the negative beliefs we’ve adopted through the course of life? Changing our beliefs, is like giving ourselves a new life, a new outlook and a new future that’s based on positive beliefs.

When I was going through a difficult time in my life, I use to write “I now release all fears and resentments”, over and over again. It was difficult, because I was in fear, and I had a lot of resentments. I was tired of being depressed. I was tired of being fearful. What I had to do, was reprogram myself into releasing these negative feelings, so that I could live a joyful life. Even though, I didn’t initially believe that I could actually “let go” of those negative emotions, the more times I wrote the affirmation, the more relaxed I became.

I love affirmations so much, that I buy CD’s and audio downloads of so many wonderful teachers and healers, and I usually play them when I meditate or go to sleep. I find that continued use of affirmations changes my outlook, my productivity, and my joy and happiness. I even subscribe to a number of e-mail subscriptions from Unity’s Daily Word and Joel Osteen. I find that immersing myself in positive affirmations has helped me to grow significantly and has healed many wounds. I am now a much more joyful and positive person than I’ve ever been in my whole life.

My new affirmation of the day is “I choose positive words and experience positive results.” Have a great day!
Listening to music while you are meditating – not a good idea. … Anything you do with the thought that you are meditating is meditating. There are many ways to meditate. Personally, I find music to be distracting, but paying attention to sounds in your environment is part of insight meditation.
