Mindfulness Meets Real Life

SEPTEMBER 2016 Newsletter      "A great silent space holds all of nature in its embrace.  It also holds you."     -Eckhart Tolle        GREETINGS DEAR FRIENDS: Welcome to September!~  Wow! This year is flying by!  What  I LOVE most about this time of year is the New beginnings and a new way to focus on what we want! I don't know about you but, time sure has a way of speeding up and wreaking havoc on our perceptions. There doesn't seem to be enough time to get things done that need to be done, and the lesson is this:...

"Procrastination is the thief of time" ~Charles Dickens It's sad to admit this, but once (many years ago)...I had a favorite pair of pants.  You know the kind I'm talking about. They were chinos, with a lot of pockets and they fit me perfectly. They were the kind of pants you reached for all the time -- like a second skin.  Well, one time the button fell off, and although it was annoying, I didn't sew it back on. I would still wear the pants, sometimes resorting to a safety pin, or not using anything to keep them closed.  I...

One of the questions I get asked the most, is "how do I stay Peaceful when the world is falling apart?" Remember, that you are what you consume- Physically, Emotionally and Spiritually.  It's extremely important that we stay out of the negative fear vibe that is out there.  Everywhere we look the media is filling us with a daily diet of pessimism and gloom.  Almost too much for an optimistic like me to bear.

We all know by now that putting your love and intention behind your choices brings you better results in what you wish to create.  This month, as the energies continue to intensify, I am reminded to stay true to my intention of manifesting JOY.  This means being aware of thoughts, emotions and letting yourself be in total flow with all that is going on around you.  It also means dropping judgment of people and situations and allowing them to just be.  We, as humans, seek to label the experience- ie: the traffic is bad, that person is mean, this is the greatest/worst thing that has ever happened -but when we just allow it to be, as simply the witness, our perspective changes. Removing judgment allows us to remain in our center and thus be more in balance.
