Power of Intention

The Power of Intention

Within your mind and within your personal will, lies the power of intention.  Intention is a key to transforming your life.  Most of us have clearly and powerfully expressed a desire, only to find unexpected opportunities open up before us to bring us exactly what we desired.  It may come through an unexpected random meeting with someone.  It could come, as a thought to re-connect with an old friend, who knows a person who has a need for someone to do the exact work you want.  It could manifest as making a “wrong turn” to find a sale, on exactly the item you need but thought out of reach.  The details are unimportant.  

What is important is that when these strange events of synchronicity occur in your life, you recognize them as the power of intention at work.  By understanding this power and beginning to harness it, by disciplining your mind to use it to benefit your life and the lives of others, you start to understand a very important life principle that energy follows thought, and “as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”

Recognition of Truth

Recognition of Truth

There is within us awareness, a recognition that we have spontaneously when we hear the truth.  The truth resonates deep within us as a sense of knowing that is beyond understanding or belief.  We can with the incredible facility of our minds and rigidity of belief reframe and deny a truth if it does not fit within our preconceived definitions of the world, but that flash of truth is felt in the moment, even if it is quickly discarded or denied.  We can choose to deny that ring that truth brings within the many judgments that the mind can provide in quicksilver response, but not before that sense of truth is felt, even if never considered again.  Or we can choose to pay attention, open our minds and hearts and ponder upon the significance of that flash of awareness that can open the door to deeper perception of the adventure we call life.

Calming the Waves of Emotion

Calming the Waves of Emotion

by Genevieve Gerard

Learning to calm the pervading turmoil of emotions is another benefit of learning to meditate. Much like the chattering mind, the emotions impact our lives constantly throughout the day. The turbulence created by our emotions can make us unable to truly evaluate what is transpiring in our lives. We find ourselves behaving reactively without thought because something someone has said or done triggers our emotions. By calming the emotions even for only the brief period of meditation we begin to gain perspective and control in our lives.

The respite of meditation gives us a time where we can be free of the force of our emotions and begin to see how they impact and influence our lives. As one enters the meditative state the dual process of quieting the mind’s chatter and calming the roiling emotions begins. As the quiet emerges, the Self experiences freedom from the constant chatter of the mind and the impact of the emotions. This creates a sense of peace, a sensation of centering, and allows us to touch the awareness of life with another part of ourselves in control.

Once we experience this we can imagine what our life would be like if the Higher Self, the Soul, which we can contact in moments of meditation, were to gain control over the chattering mind and swirling emotions all the time. In moments of meditation we can ask ourselves from the perspective of the Higher Self to explore decisions we are making to see what is influencing our decisions. Often we discover that fear (the most powerful and damaging of all emotions) or a series of “shoulds” and “oughts” (the most pervasive negative judgments of the chattering mind) are the major influence in determining how we live our lives. As we explore our potential to live our lives free from these pervasive influences we can see new possibilities and we begin to develop new perspectives.

Here we begin to realize how much of what creates unhappiness and distress in our lives is a result of our own undisciplined thoughts and feelings running amok in our consciousness. Through the simple choice to enter into a meditative state we can receive a respite from the constant barrage of judgmental thoughts and pervasive fears. We can for the time in meditation become aware of the possibility of life operating from a centered peaceful place that focuses on the now. We can begin to understand the benefits that await us as we take control of our life from the perspective of the Higher Self.

Although at first this seems to be a Herculean task, each time you make the decision to meditate, each time you allow your Higher Self to bring the mind and the emotions to a calm quiet, you are demonstrating your personal will in choosing where you want your life to focus. The more regularly you meditate the easier it becomes and the more familiar the Higher Self becomes as a part of who you truly are.

That You Meditate, is More Important than How

That You Meditate, is More Important than How

Meditation has existed for many thousands of years.  Over that vast stretch of time many styles and many techniques have developed, from the most disciplined path, to the most natural and spontaneous experience that could come to you in a moment of quiet reflection.  At different times in your life, one technique may call to you. 

After meditating for over 40 years, I have come to understand that it is not important how you meditate.  It could be the simple focus of mindfulness meditation, the discipline of Zen Buddhist meditation or awareness meditations that are incorporated into the activities of daily life.  It could also be any of the myriad of schools and techniques that fill the bookstores and the internet.  Any form of meditation can give you the benefits of meditation, from physical relaxation and better health, to the expanded consciousness that leads to enlightenment. 

No step that you take on the path to the Higher Self is ever wasted; every step you take brings you closer to fulfilling your full potential in life.

The Lesson of Breath

The Lesson of Breath

 As I have been writing and developing new meditations I cannot help but notice that the breath, simply the act of breathing in and breathing out, gives us a very valuable demonstration about life.  Without thought, without fear of lack our breath knows exactly what we need to take from the world around us and exactly what we need to let go of and release.  We cannot hold onto the breath and we cannot fail to let go of and release the breath. 

If we ponder upon the lesson this teaches us about life we can begin to trust that what we truly need is available for us without fear.  We can notice that we only need to take what we need and can use.  And, we can understand that only by releasing and letting go are we able to receive.  All of these little understandings are a part of the gift of each breath if we take the time to notice.

Quieting the Chattering Mind

Quieting the Chattering Mind

by Genevieve Gerard

Meditation is practiced for many different reasons and purposes. One among these is to quiet the mind of the endless chatter in which an undisciplined mind engages. This chatter is usually negative self thought that creates negative feelings. The mindless chatter is filled with unfulfilled desires and critical judgments of the self, with “should have,” “could have” and “ought to” as repetitive phrases. This chatter goes on and on, never being satisfied with what is because it is always focused upon desires that are based on imagined ideals. These imagined ideals are created and fed by popular music, movies, advertisements and impressions of what it believes to be going on in the life of others.

This chatter can destroy the chance for peace and true happiness, because in the constant noise that focuses on what “should be,” the fullness of what is happening is missed. Feelings of despair can be generated as the mind compares real life to these fantasy ideals. In the noise of the chatter, moments that offer the opportunity for joy or peace are drowned out by the criticism of one’s life, that there aren’t more of these moments of joy or peace.

The nature of this mindless chatter is to never be satisfied. If something wonderful happens the mind can quickly becomes fearful of the loss of the wonderful moment, thus diminishing, and ultimately blocking the experience of joy. The mind chatters on and on, “Why can not every moment, person or event be this wonderful? Why must I loose this?” On and on the mind spins discontent, even in the happy events of life, judging each experience and fearing that unhappiness is lurking behind every joy. As this chatter fills the mind it obliterates from the consciousness the experience of the moment.

Through the practice of meditation the mind becomes free to experience the moment. In the moment, joy can emerge to be experienced and appreciated. In the awareness of each moment feelings of deep peace can replace the feelings of discontent that the mind chatter manifests.

The longer one can quiet the mind the deeper and fuller this experience becomes. At first one might only be able to quiet the mind for a brief moment, but that moment is a timeless celebration of what is. The Soul is freed and the spirit soars. In the peace within, the mind is able to experience an awareness of life in all of its fullness. For even in just a moment without the nagging distraction of the mind’s chatter one can glimpse the incredible freedom and power of living in the moment.

There are a myriad of meditation techniques that have been employed for thousands of years to teach quieting the mind so that the aspiring student can experience the moment. In just one moment in which one can fully be in the moment rests the wisdom of the sages and the wisdom of the ages. Once you have found your way into that moment you can begin to assert the mastery of your Higher Self over your lower mind and come to know the joy, the peace and the freedom that are available to you.

The lower mind, the chattering mind, will struggle to stay in control of you and your life. A combination of the practice and discipline of meditation will teach you to quiet the mind over the objections, tricks and distractions the lower mind will offer. Each moment of quiet you achieve is its own reward. And with practice and discipline you can extend the quiet, bringing you joy and the fullness of life.

Dawn’s Light

Dawn’s Light

There is a special color that the sky has as the light of dawn dispels the darkness.  A quiet anticipation of the day ahead is filled with hope and promise.  In that moment, everything is possible.  The power to manifest is ours.  With a joyful heart, let us seize the day.

God’s in His Heaven

God’s in His Heaven

So often as the morning begins, as the beauty of the many colors of a cloud-filled sky join the emerging light of the day, I think of this phrase from Robert Browning’s poem Pippa Passes “God’s in his Heaven – All’s right with the world.”

The peace and the confidence and joy that using these words as an affirmation brings, sets the day with a perspective and attitude of anticipation.  It also brings forth the gratitude for the little blessings of life.

Each day gives us a new promise, a new opportunity to enjoy the many blessings that surround us, down to the snails on the thorn.  If we only look around us with awareness of the many simple gifts that life presents we can find so much to celebrate and enjoy.

 

     Pippa Passes

The year’s at the spring

And day’s at the morn;

Morning’s at seven;

The hill-side’s dew-pearled

The lark’s on the wing;

The snail’s on the thorn;

God’s in his Heaven –

All’s right with the world!

Robert Browning (1812-1889)

 

 

Ponder on this!

 

Blessings,
Genevieve Gerard
