Dear Friends~ Welcome to April! Spring has sprung and it is time to revel in Mother Nature's beautiful gifts of life. It's a great time to get present while you stop to smell the flowers! Last month we shared thoughts about making changes in your life slowly and patiently so they become part of who you are. Did you make any changes that you have started to notice are now an effortless part of your life? If you started to embrace patience with your changes, Kudos to you! This month we want to share with you an idea that will help you do something to support the concept we presented in February's issue on the importance of loving yourself…shhhh, it's a silent phenomenon! We warn you though, because after reading this month's article, you might heal yourself from heart disease, strengthen your immune system, manage pain better and lower your stress level. So make sure feeling better is something you can handle!

We also want to share upcoming events you won't want to miss (a seminar, a tele-class and a Feng Shui workshop)! Each of them are collaborative inspirations with gifted individuals who we respect and admire.

If you have not had the opportunity, Will is an intuitive healer, a medical intuitive and soul guide.

Many references have been made about the magical benefits of meditation and what follows is the beautiful reference made by Roger Gabriel and David Simon, M.D. who work closely along side Deepak Chopra, M.D., 'Meditation is a spiritual journey that takes our awareness to the level of our soul, our Spirit, our own essential nature. It is not about forcing our minds to be quiet but rather to rediscover the quietness that is already there. Behind the screen of our internal dialogue is the silence of Spirit, a silence that is not imprisoned by thoughts of the past or concerns of the future. It is this Spirit that is the birthplace of happiness and the source of our inspirations, our tender feelings of love and compassion. When we get quiet, we hear the silence in between our thoughts, which is where the real you, the thinker are located. Usually, our attention is directed outwards using our senses to engage in activity, however, when we turn our awareness inwards, we go to deeper levels of quietness until we slip beyond thoughts into the gap and discover our true nature.'

With so many references in spiritual and mainstream journals alike, it should be no surprise that ten million American adults say they practice some form of meditation regularly, and according to Time Magazine that's double the number of meditators ten years ago. On the physical level medical doctors frequently recommend meditation to their patients because they see how it promotes healing. Study after study has shown that patients who meditate can reverse heart disease, strengthen their immune system, reduce clogging of the arteries, lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol, and manage pain better. It has also been documented that after a few weeks of meditation chronically depressed patients are often able to stop taking their antidepressants. Patients report their moods are greatly improved, they feel less anxious, more calm, peaceful, energized and engaged.

In addition to scores of medically supervised case studies, in the spring of 2003, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D., of the University of Massachusetts Medical School, recorded the brain waves of stressed-out employees of a high-tech firm in Madison, Wisconsin. The subjects were split randomly into two groups, 25 people were asked to learn meditation over eight weeks, and the remaining 16 were left alone as a control group.

All participants had their brain waves scanned three times during the study: at the beginning of the experiment, when meditation lessons were completed eight weeks later and four months after that. The researchers found that the meditators showed a pronounced shift in activity to the left frontal lobe. In other words, they were calmer and happier than before. So wouldn't it be nice to have peace and harmony in your life…a life without pain or struggle, or even worry? Would you like to trade in your medication for meditation? Isn't it about time to join the millions who have already improved their lives dramatically? Refuse to tolerate anything less than harmony because you can create a joyful life!

You just need to know how to tap into it. Prosperity and happiness are the natural conditions of mankind, your birthright, yet we tend to overcomplicate it. Guess what…there is no overcomplicating meditation because it is very simple and there are various types including breathing meditations, silent mindfulness meditations, and guided meditations.

Practicing meditation begins by simplifying everything. When we sit comfortably, follow our breath and watch our thoughts, we simplify our whole situation and engage in the present moment. Silent Mindfulness meditation creates a solid foundation for our practice. Unless we are able to deal with our mind and body in a very simple way, it is impossible to think about doing high- level activities. In essence what we're doing is taming our mind. Over time with practice we overcome all sorts of anxieties and agitation, all sorts of habitual thought patterns, so we are able to sit with ourselves joyfully. How we tame the mind is by using the technique of mindfulness. Quite simply, mindfulness is the complete attention to the present moment, and our lives are made up of these moments. Even though we have memories of the past and ideas about the future, it is the present situation that we experience in mindfulness meditation.

Through meditation we are able to experience our life fully. Some might feel that thinking about the past or the future makes their lives richer because they can relive memories or feel in control about a situation, but by not paying attention to the immediate present moment they are actually missing their life. There's nothing we can do about the past, we can only go over it again and again, and the future is completely unknown. So, get quiet and get to know yourself…who knows you might even start to like your own company. You have nothing to lose except the dis-ease in your body, the agitations in your mind, and the thought that don't serve you. The practice of mindfulness is the practice of being alive, and who can't use a little more of that?!!!

As mentors who embrace that which we share with you, we can recommend that silent mindfulness meditations are extremely powerful and can be used in conjunction with guided meditations for a great recipe to create improved harmony, happiness, prosperity and spirituality in your life. Be sure to check out this month's helping of Soul Food for a fabulous meditation recommendation.

Also, don't hesitate to contact us with any queries because we can assist you in fine tuning your practice.

To your peace of mind, Namaste!
