Spring is fast approaching as we focus on new beginnings. What rings true for me is to focus on the basics in my life such as the practice of meditation.

Meditation is a power tool or jewel for self discovery in that it helps us to connect with our higher power, the source within us. The Divine always guides us to that which is best for us. So how can we go wrong? The way to access the source directly is through the practice of meditation.

We have within us an endless wealth of wisdom, love, empowerment and abundance. So let's tap into that source daily. If you do not have a regular practice of meditation start today. If you are regularly meditating then pat yourself on the back for being so loving to yourself and allowing the Universe to love you so powerfully.

We are Spirit

We are spirit and so loved and supportedbyGod/Goddess that all we have to do is sit, focus on our breath and observe our minds.

We are spirit. We are not our minds not our bodies and not our emotions.

We are spirit made manifest in flesh. God is love. We are the children of Goddess so therefore our essence is Love.

Drop of Oil

By the practice of meditating daily you add a drop of oil to your inner lamp of wisdom and truth.

One drop of oil is not noticable. Much oil is accumulated through the daily practice of meditation. Thus we receive much support from
the source within us for all areas of our daily lives.

The river of truth is accessed through the daily drop of oil that you receive each time you meditate. This is why it is so important to get in the habit of meditating on a regular basis so that you allow yourself access to spirit within you.

Keep it Simple

Keep it simple. Just make an appointment with yourself and your higher power to connect daily from 10-20 minutes.

Keep it simple and make sure that there will be no distractions in your sacred space by turning off all electronics.

Keep it simple by having your body be comfortable and supported by a cushion or chair. Then focus on your breath.

Do Not Give Up on Meditation

Do not give up on meditation. Focus on your breath, again and again. Your mind will become activated when you meditate.

Many new meditation students report to me that they gave up on meditation because they couldn't still their mind. Do not give up on meditation. I emphasize to them that it is natural for the monkey mind to keep thinking thoughts.

In the practice of meditation you see the thoughts of the rational mind and keep bringing your focus back to your breath again and again. Even if you have to do this a thousand times during one meditation session you will still reap the benefits of your practice. Do not give up on meditation. Just let go of your belief that you need to meditate perfectly by having no thoughts.

The mind is used to thinking. In the practice of meditation you need to bring the mind back to focus on one thing such as the breath or the space between the breath. Your mind is not the master, it is the servant. The master is within you, your spirit, which is who you really are.

Happy Meditation!!!

Meditation Classes

Each person is able to ask a personal question at the end of the meditation and receive specific spiritual guidance for their life journey. The energy during the meditation is very loving, compassionate and nurturing which is healing in itself.

Maureen goes into a meditative state where she accesses specific guidance in answer to the questions being asked.
