Avoiding your true power - afraid to meditate?

So many friends have recently confided that they have real trouble in sitting down and meditating ... instead, they get restless and start thinking about all the household chores, or worse! So today, receiving this from Daily Om, I thought that what the article says is actually quite true ...

Avoiding Your True Power
Afraid To Meditate

There are times when we feel the pull to meditate but are swayed from it by the excuses that spring to mind. We may think that we are too busy, have no time to ourselves, or that we do not have the right place to meditate. Our minds can think of dozens of reasons to put off meditation. But those are even stronger reasons to look past the illusion of the hustle and bustle of daily life and to connect to the place within that intersects with the timeless power and limitless potential of the universe. From that place we can experience that potent stillness that exists at all times, and it is only as far as away as our breath.

It might be useful to ask yourself why you would put off something so beneficial to your peace of mind and general well-being. There may be fear that if you were to stop your frantic pace, your world might fall apart, and then you would have to face the undeniable reality of who you really are and the results of the choices you have made. You might be afraid that you will be forced to make huge changes in order to align yourself with the universe and harness your true potential. Sometimes the frustrations of the known world seem less scary than the possibilities of the unknown. But the truth is that when we cooperate with the universe by creating our lives from the truth of our being, life becomes less of a struggle and more of a process of living blissfully on purpose.

Finding yourself alone for a few moments can give you the opportunity to turn within to infuse a sense of calm wisdom to your work. Whenever you can take the time to recenter and refocus, it will remind you how beneficial it is to connect to your source. Then you will make the time for longer sojourns of spirit, because once you are rejuvenated and enlivened by knowing that you are made of energy and light, you can channel the power to create your life in alignment with the highest potential of your soul.

Look up to the light - Starlink update

At this time a large number of people in Britain are suffering from the effects of flooding, many have lost their homes and are undergoing extremely traumatic experiences.

In sending the Star Light to all these people we can do something positive to help them. If we are experiencing trauma ourselves, staying under the Star can bring us help and healing.

We wanted to send you this Star message from White Eagle to help you to focus your thoughts on the Star at this time.

White Eagle says:

Look up to the light

We see this beautiful shining light which is beyond the clouds, so we bring to you this message of hope… Peace be with you. All will be well. All will be well. Have no fear. Give your trust, that is all. Trust, and have courage. The cloud has a golden lining. We want you to realise that the light that you worship is part of your own soul, and that light shines in you and beautifies all earthy things for you. If you will call upon this when you are weary, you will feel divine strength flowing through you, and all anxiety will fade away. Your vision will be upon the blazing Star and you will be in conscious contact with your higher self, your divine self, your eternal, age old self. This will direct your actions and bring into your life all the blessings of the heavenly life.

(These words come from our new book, ‘Seeking Serenity’ which is out in September)

Affirm:

• I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF LIGHT
• I TRUST GOD'S PERFECT PLAN
• I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF THE STAR

***We send out the star light to all those whose lives are harmed by flooding and extreme weather***

Starlink Starflash

Recently returned from a relaxing three weeks in Mumbai (and their scary but delicious monsoons) and the Maldives (paradise indeed) I am now gradually wading through the huge amounts of emails that awaited my return.

I wanted to share this particular message with you ...

At this time the media is full of fear and negative thoughts following the attempted terrorist attacks in the UK. It is important that we stay positive and under the STAR every time we feel a fearful or negative thought. We wanted to send you this Star message from White Eagle to help you to focus your thoughts on the Star at this time.

White Eagle says:
‘Be still and look into the heart of that blazing Star. From the centre of this Star the light flows into your heart and your whole being. Let it be like a strong sword, a sword of the spirit which will withstand all negative conditions.

Never allow yourselves to dwell in darkness or fear. Do not allow your thoughts to limit your life, nor the life-force which continually flows into you. You limit this power by negative thoughts, but its flow increases in you and in your life when you attune your thoughts to the Star. Nothing in your life is so important as your God-thought.

Give yourselves times every day to relax your physical activity, to completely relax and attune your consciousness to the enfolding and inflowing light and love of the Great White Spirit. You can do as much for the whole world as vast armies. Love is the solvent, love will cure the world of all its ills.’

(These words come from our new book, ‘Seeking Serenity’ which will be available from September from The White Eagle Lodge)
