People come to me
when they are feeling lost, frustrated, confused and separated
from their spiritual side. They ask me how they can
re-connect to their deeper wisdom. My immediate
response is "Just meditate." I get all
kinds of explanations of why this doesn't
work for them ranging from "I don't have
time," to "I don't know how," to
"My mind just won't slow down enough
to meditate." Over the years, I have
devised a meditation technique that can address most
of the common challenges to meditating and can help
you connect to your higher power and Spirit Guides.
I call it "The One Minute Meditation." It
is simple, takes only a minute and helps to
reconnect you to the divine plan in all things.
You start by
choosing whatever it is in your life that is giving
you trouble. It could be your relationship with
your partner, problems with a co-workers, negative
behavior from your children or just a general
overstressed system of your own. Picture the
person presenting the challenge in your mind. This
person has presented this challenge to help you grow
in some way, but maybe you don't know how right now. Just
hold that person in your mind. Imagine you are
calling forth their entire soul, past lives,
future lives, present situations. Pull all of their
aspects into the picture, the good, the bad and
everything in between. Now surround them in White
Light. Just hold this for one minute, allowing
your heart to absorb all that it needs to put this
connection in the proper perspective. Breath
deeply and comfortably, relaxing your heart &
mind as much as you can and holding it for as close
to the full minute as possible.
That is it. It is
just that simple. It may sound on the surface like
there is no way it could affect a situation, but it
can and it does. Magical things happen. Energies
shift, people see each other in a new light.
Problems melt away. Suddenly conflicts
disappear and people respond differently to you. You
can't expect miracle results on the first try
though, or even on every try. If someone has really
gotten under your skin, chances are that you have
lifetimes of karmic work with this person that is
not going be resolved in 60 seconds (just like if
you are overweight, you can't just exercise for
5 minutes and lose all of the extra
weight), but by doing this exercise regularly, it
will bring all the insight you need to resolve any
situation in your life.
My relationship
with my 14 yr old son has been a perfect example of
this. He & I have had a very turbulent
relationship since birth. We love each other deeply,
but his anger and general rude behavior pushes my
buttons so deeply that I fall into a wide array
of negative emotional patterns myself, from being
victimized and crying to yelling back. I remember the
first time I used this technique with him. I
chose to do it right in the moment of one of his
angry outbursts. He was screaming obscenities at me
and full of rage. Instead of reacting, I chose
to implement the meditation. He reacted by screaming
louder & harder, then suddenly broke into tears,
calmed down, apologized and behaved very well for
the rest of the day. This was a break-through moment
for me. We did not have to go through our usual 3
hour fighting spree resulting in many ineffective
punishments & parenting techniques. I
happen to have chosen the most challenging time to
try something like this. It is so much easier to do
at night before you fall asleep and the person is
nowhere around pushing your buttons, but it worked.
It worked like magic and I have used it a countless
times since. Sometimes I have to do it more than
once, or for more than a minute, but it works like a
charm most of the time.
For today, just
think of one problem in your life that needs solving
and apply this technique to it. Practice the
technique every time someone or something stresses
you. You will see the difference, sometimes even
immediately like I did with my son. It's easy
to do and only takes a minute. If you don't
have a spare minute somewhere, then you oughtta
loosen up your schedule.
