Post of the Day By Miria Cook for June 2, 2013

If you are having a hard time clearing your head of the day’s tensions – all the distractions and demands – or if you’re just feeling the stress of this chaotic era we’re living in, here are a few helpful tips:

Human beings, particularly sensitive ones are a bit like sponges, being empathic we tend to absorb the energies of others and unfortunately that effect can be cumulative. We can overloaded with all of it !

By scheduling a few minutes everyday to take time to clear yourselves of the cobwebs and/or build-up or residue of energies that are counter-productive, you & your overall well-being will benefit greater ! Here’s how to begin….

Firstly, take a moment to set your intention “to quiet & center yourself”. Why is this an important step ?   Because simply put, it helps you to bring focus, clarity and value to the act you are about to engage in.

Next turn off those things that are distracting you – you know what they are no need for a long laundry list. Next find a spot where you can sit quietly and privately for a few minutes uninterrupted.

Believe it or not, I always take a few minutes to do this in the car just before going into an important meeting or gathering.

Now focus your attention on your breathe and how you are breathing…..breathe slowly, gently, deeply, naturally….just breathe, much like a small child does when they are sleeping deeply. This is not quite as easy as it sounds but with some practise, it will become easier “to feel” your breathe and to direct it.

Thirdly, step within yourself to that “Inner Place of Silence & Peace” –  that place within yourself that you go to when you pray or when you are contemplative. You should feel like you are in the sanctuary of a sacred place because that’s exactly where you are……in touch with your Heart Centre.

Finally, acknowledge with gratitude that wonderful feeling of being in touch with the Divine within yourself. It is this feeling of closeness to something “bigger than oneself” is the beginning of your developing your ability to discern your intuitive voice.

This is at the very core of your Healing Journey.

May Your Prayer Empower Your Intuition and Empower Your Healing……
