Miracles Abound

Walking down the street, the sun sends streams of light through the trees casting shadows on the asphalt that forms dozens of interesting shapes dancing across the ground. Everything is in bloom. Spring is here. The grass is green, the flowers are blossoming purples, oranges, pinks and whites. In the morning, a light dewy mist lightly covers the grass making everything brighter, clearer, cleaner, greener and sweeter to look at. The sky is a deep bright blue and cloudless. In the morning, 5 AM to be exact, the birds wake up the neighborhood with their joyful song. At 8 PM they sing another song; a softer mellower tune that says nighttime is on the way. In the night sky, the moon slowly rises and reflects the light from the sun reminding that even in the darkest times there is still light on earth and that miracles abound.

There are miracles all around; miracles in families when unexpected healing takes place. Prayers that are answered-unanswered prayers are for the best. An unseen more positive path is about to unfold. What gets in the way of seeing miracles are fears that take hold in the mind and heart. Sometimes fear roots itself deeply in a person’s psyche-not a healthy way to live. Fear holds a person hostage as the worst is imagined and the “what if” scenario is played out in one's mind. Often, however, the “what ifs” never happen. However, sometimes bad things do occur. But we cannot sit and worry and wait. It is best to go through the day looking for the good, counting blessings, and seeing the miracles of life.
Here’s how I set up my day so that my mind can accept the beauty in life.

1- Getting a good night's sleep is essential so the next day is balanced.

2- After the morning shower and a glass of water with lemon, I sit down and meditate, the effortless meditation, allowing thoughts to come and go. Passively observing them is easy to do. Fifteen to thirty minutes is all that is needed.

3- Invite in the Presence of God, the Holy Spirit, The ECK.

4- A morning walk comes next, 15 to 30 minutes.

5- On the walk, breathe deeply and consciously. Observe surroundings and acknowledge the miracles of nature.

6- Smile. Smiling increases endorphins the feel good chemicals in the body.

7- Count blessings.

8- Look for the good.

9- Send love and gratitude to the Divine.

10- During the day, acknowledge your own divinity and the divine in everyone.

The mind can be retrained to focus on the positive but it does take work. It is the nature of the mind to drift, to complain, to worry etc. With the thousands of thoughts that go through one’s mind every day, it is neither advisable nor possible to control them. Control is not the answer. Passively observing thoughts letting them come and go just like in meditation is the easiest thing to do. Then re-direct thoughts towards words like thankfulness, gratitude, love, happiness, and goodwill. Set up your day with behavior modification techniques that positively direct thoughts. Then you will see that miracles all around.

Love, Light, Healing and Many blessings,
