Hi Alexys,

I know a lot of people who do this practice and swear by it. I am not one of those, I am a sitting down on my cushion, or chop wood and carry water type meditator.

Happy New Year to you too !

Hello Bern,

Your suggestion is an excellent one to create a new perception. And I would add that just being present to what is, noticing how our minds inform us how we should be feeling, and coming back to what is, can be another way to bring joy to the things we would not normally enjoy.

Thanks for returning to share your insights. As always you make me contemplate things a little deeper.

Hi Miruh,

I agree that meditation is of vital importance for centering and The Artist’s Way is very effective. I have been using The Writer’s Way for years which is similar for focusing. Welcome back and thank you for sharing this.

Happy New Year my friend.

The idea of having to do chores is a good topic. If one feels something is a chore, then resistance to what IS is felt. One would rather not be doing it. This then is a Clue. Why does One not want to do something. An investigation is in order to release the tension. We can then shift the attitude behind the action. We can make the action fun or not ever do it again. If we are, for instance, doing the dishes, we can set and attach an energetic intention or underlying spell or ritual with the action of washing the dishes. As I clean these dishes, which is a reflection of my self, I cleanse my inner worlds of the dirt which may be the result of negative charges holding the dirt in place. I dissolve these charges as I dissolve the dirt with this soap. Therefore, another layer of purpose is then assigned to the action. One can become creative with directing energy. What we do with every moment is not straight forward, from this point of view.

Hello Merging Point,

Well said, “mind rooted in consciousness enables the well functioning of the body and mind…” In every aspect of life we need to be centered, as you pointed out, even in doing chores.

Thanks for your wise words my friend!

Deep peace to you!

Excellent message for the Oneness! remain centered to reach everywhere…
Even when we undertake to do some repairing job, firstly, the person centres himself well and then uses the tool rightly. Once firm on foot and rooted, the extension of other parts of the body carry on the steadiness. similarly, mind rooted in consciousness enables the well functioning of the body and mind…
The practice to connect and remain with our ownselves especially soon after waking up is truly wonderful. It helps us to be aware and remain meditative for the rest of the day.

Hello Linda,

I agree, the ripple effect from the center of the one world we live in would be awesome indeed!

Hello Pamir,

There must have been a deep stillness before that big bang!

Hello Marion,

I like sitting on rocks when it is warm outside, but in these wet days of winter, I would rather be holding a rock in my hand.

Glad you find the posts meaningful.

Happy sitting, stay centered!

Miruh, I love your words of wisdom! If we all practiced staying centered, what a change could take place in the world! The Artist’s Way is a wonderful tool for this, as you suggest.

May you have beauty, love and peace in the New Year.

Love! Linda
