Join me in being in the Now

If you've dealt with metaphysics at all, you've probably heard the phrase "be in the now". Now, considering the fact that they also say to live 'in the end', I will admit, I get confused as to the concept.

I figured out six months ago that, at the time, it meant thinking in a completely different way to the way I was thinking before, and as always happens in the study of anything, the deeper you go, the more our knowledge of said definitions change.

I've been thinking a lot about being in the now today and I am thinking, at my current level of knowledge, that there is a depth there that I am ready to grasp.

As such, I am focused in July to being 'in the now', to take 15 minutes a day and just be. No thinking of other things, no imagining the end, no going over plot lines in my head (which is my biggest mind filler). Just take those fifteen minutes to be aware.

Aware of what? Good question. I know there is so much we don't 'see' with our mind the way we have been taught to see. As I have watched a shift in reality happen, I know there is just so much in front of us we don't grasp. So, my goal is, before my focused meditation, to meditate myself into calm awareness.

Awareness of what is around me that I can see.

Awareness of what is around me that I don't consciously see.

Awareness of whatever the universe cares to share with me.

Basically - to try and not think for fifteen minutes.

I think that without this ability to 'be in the now' it is easy to miss signals that we need to do 'this' rather than 'that' or we should turn right rather than left.

So, in two days I start this new level of consciousness. I'm excited. I know it will take time to quiet my mind that much without sleeping, but I look forward to what I can learn by being IN the now.

Pity Party: Party of one

It is difficult looking into the mirror when I am dealing with having what I have to call a midlife crisis. It took so long to get passed my past. I still struggle with some things, but others I have overcome in a large way. So here I sit - I don't feel 43 for the most part, but the hard thing is - I am.  All the things most people are learning in their early 20s, I am dealing with. Now, that would not be bad if I was 21. But I am not 21. I'm 43. The only single men around me are divorced. Most with children. Great. Just what I wanted. (And yes, that was sarcasm.) Not to mention the fact that I seem to attract men I would never be attracted to, not in a million years. Yeah - definitely putting out the wrong vibration.

Review: Bob Proctor 10-week Intensive Coaching Program

OK, I did it. I completed the Bob Proctor 10-week Intensive Program. And intensive it was!~ This program has its good points and its bad points, all which will be mentioned here. But make no mistake about it - If I had it all to do over again, I would! The Bob Proctor Intensive was a 10-week program that used "You Were Born Rich", one of Bob's programs, as its base. The first four weeks were spent with reading intently, watching the DVDs intently, and listening to CDs of the DVDs intently. The last four weeks were spent working toward a specific goal.

Look for the Light - #positive

Image
You know how they always say it is darkest before the dawn? Well, unfortunately, the same goes for emotions. Sometimes we feel about as low as we can get before we make some sort of breakthrough. So next time things seem overwhelming and you think you are drowning, look for the light. It could be anything. A laugh from a friend, a dog sunning itself, even a pretty flower. Or, it could be getting that book you have been wanting for months. Embrace that light. Hold it tight. Remember it. Take a picture if you need to, so that when the darkness encroaches again, you have a clear beam to make it go away. Look for the light.
