My prior post for predictions 2012 felt ominous, so I decided to post another article on how to navigate these difficult times. I chose the image on the left of the Archangel Michael to symbolize “prayer in action”.
One of the most important messages I get from the world of spirit and read in other spiritual teachers (whom I respect) about facing times of great worldwide change, is about meditation and cultivating positivity. Now more than ever before it’s important to have a spiritual practice in one’s life, to model that to younger folks who so need our love and guidance at this juncture in world history.
What is a spiritual practice? Spending time everyday (if you can) in contemplation, meditation and prayer. Contemplation allows us to reflect on our day, being honest with ourselves where we may not have met up to our own expectations, we then forgive self and others who may have hurt us so we may turn toward the following day with light in our hearts. Meditation cleans the mind and creates clarity so we may “hear” the soul’s voice and be led by our unique purpose in this lifetime. Prayer can be passive but should also be active. Prayer is a petition for help, it is a emanation from the deepest part of ourselves for healing, goodness and wellness for family, friends, the planet and her creatures or others who might be struggling. Engaging in prayer allows us to be guided positively and have the honesty to look at ourselves with fairness. Finally it is important to commit actions based on the belief’s developed from these three, (contemplation, meditation and prayer).
There is a line from a Stevie Wonder song which I feel illustrates these principals, “When your moving in the positive, your destination is the brightest star”.
When this is practiced regularly, your soul finds its true voice and you will find yourself living more in alignment with the universal “light” energy.
Eating nutritious foods which are filled with light and healing energy. Of course the best way to do this if you can is grow your own vegetables because you are also engaged with the magnetic field of mother Earth.
Here is a great book that teaches how to grow veggies on your own front lawn; http://www.amazon.com/How-Grow-More-Vegetables-Possible/dp/158008233
I don’t believe in microwaving my food and I try as best I can to eat organic vegetables, animals who have been treated humanely and their products. I also try to drink spring water, this water tends to have a greater energetic charge. I do the best I can, or pray over my food to nourish me and thank creator every day for my life and the food I have to eat on my table.
Walks in the forest. If you are a city dweller, even walking on the Earth from time to time instead of the cement can make an enormous difference in your health and well-being.
Remember each and every one of us is connected to each other, so try to give the other guy a break, you don’t know what they might be going through at the time your path’s collide. We are all made of stardust and to that star place we shall return, every person you meet has a little bit of you in them and you have a little piece of them in you!
