Invite Higher Power Into Your Day

Most people’s day begins with a quick shower, gulping down a cup of coffee, running out the door and coping with a long and stressful morning commute; then on the job with all of its demands and long twelve hour days. Back home, a microwave dinner will suffice. Collapsing into bed, lap top on lap, TV on. Last minute emails sent as work finishes for the day. Eventually sleep takes over only to begin the day all over again in the same way.


In order to have a great day, one in which you feel confident and certain that you are on track and feel balanced and happy. Begin your day by inviting Higher Power into your day. Before you get out of bed, take a deep breath in and exhale twice as long, slowly, and evenly. This simple breathing technique centers the mind and body. It begins daily alignment. It sends a message to your Higher Self that you are getting ready to invite It into your day. From this quieter and more centered place, invite Higher Power into your day. Say these words. “I invite my Higher Power into my day. Today, I align with the higher purposes of my Higher Power. In spiritual alignment, I anticipate having a great day. A day where I great everyone I meet with love, and healing, knowing that I am being guided to express the best that is in me. Guide me today and help me to bring out the best in myself and in others. When my buttons are pushed, help me to contain my reactivity. I ask my Higher Power to keep me and my loved one’s safe. I ask my Higher Power to help me be grateful and to enjoy the day. I ask my Higher Power to help me appreciate all that I have right now in this moment-the next moment is not going to be any greater than the one that I am in right now.” In closing this invitation to Higher Power say thank-you. I am grateful.


Gratefully, Love, Light, Healing, Blessings,

Inner Voice

I was twenty three years old when my Cousin, five years younger, born on my birthday, a blue eyed blonde beauty; a colorful bouquet of mountain wildflowers, I thought, as she walked towards me. Her ankle length skirt flowed lazily, effortlessly, from side to side.  “I recently learned to meditate and I would like for you to learn too. It’s relaxing and healing.” The bright eyed eighteen-year old was eager to share her experience with me.  An introductory meditation class would be held on Thursday. “Bring flowers and fruit to the session and make an appointment with one of the meditation teachers on the college campus,” she said.

I, in my white tennis shorts, shirt, and sneakers, was getting ready to pound the ball across the tennis court. The thought of meditation was unappealing; I identified elsewhere. Anticipating that meditation would somehow change me in ways I would not like, the idea of going to a class was unappealing. However, I could not ignore the inner voice that told me to check it out-to go.

Thank-you Cousin. Since that time, decades ago, I have healed body, mind, and spirit, psychologically and spiritually, and taught meditation to others in hundreds of seminars and workshops. In the process, I demystified the general thinking that in order to meditate correctly one must clear the mind and get rid of all thoughts. In fact when we meditate, we need to follow the path of least resistance and “go with the flow;” passively observing the babbling brook of the mind, the continuous flow of thoughts, gently introducing a word like Relax into the meditation to transcend to quieter more peaceful places, effortlessly, easily.  

Remember when you meditate:

1-You will always have thoughts

2-Gently and silently say the word Relax

3-Allow the word Relax to drift in and out of your mind. Thoughts will drift in and out too.

4-Passively observe them-let them come and go.

5-If it helps listen to soft soothing music.

6-Meditate for fifteen to twenty minutes a day.

-The benefits are enormous. I will talk about them in the next blog.
