Spring Clearing Week 2-4-11 through 2-11-11

I know it isn’t REALLY springtime yet, but it feels like it here in Chicago and so why not welcome the warmer months now anyway?! This week we will focus our meditations on a special theme – clearing. Every night as we fall asleep, we are going to take a few deep breaths and do the following:

Focus inward and LISTEN really hard with great attention (like if you heard a strange noise in the night and were trying to determine the source)

Whatever thoughts and feelings pop up, look at them one at a time and ask WHY you are thinking and/or feeling that… when the answer pops up, ask WHY again until you get to the source.

When you get to the end answer, ask yourself if the thoughts and/or feelings are serving you or harming you, and if you are ready to let them go. Take in a deep breath and release it all on the exhale.

Listen some more… release some more. I started doing this last week and it has been WONDERFUL, hope you all will join in and make our lives and our world a little lighter. Have a great weekend! 🙂

Week of Meditation on Appreciation 1-13-12 thru 1-20-12

Starting tomorrow night we will start a new focus on appreciating the beauty in life around us and practice being in the moment as often as possible. In our meditations we will concentrate on the things in our day and life that we are grateful for. Please join us! 🙂
