and live your best life!

This is where we live

I get marketing emails all day long, at all of my email inboxes. There are offers for big loans (with exorbitant interest rates), for ways to “easily” write a book or to start a dozen “simple” side hustles. I even receive promotion emails for male enhancement drugs. This is one of the consequences of the materialistic society where we live.

We are all subjected to this because most of us don’t live under a rock. And the phone calls are of a similar variety. I just took a call from someone saying she is from the National Screening Company. She told me I have qualified for a free screening for genetic factors that might pass on physical and neurological defects.

She had my home address, and asked me to confirm how my name is listed on my “red and blue card,” and next she would surely ask for my social security card, I’m sure. I told her I wasn’t interested.

I get dozens of these calls every day, and usually I don’t answer. But suppose it is one of you calling, or a family member calling from an unrecognizable number? So it’s a decision to make each time the phone rings, even though I am on a do-not-call list.

A new focus has been a gift

If you have been following me, you see my life has taken a swift turn into a new focus on who we really are and what is more important than all of these daily interruptions. This has allowed me to laugh at things that threw me into a panic a year ago. I can take a longer view of all of it.

Here’s a way to give yourself a real treat:

• Set your alarm for an hour earlier than you actually need to get up. (Don’t worry, you can still hit the snooze button a few times because of the extra hour.)
• At this point you will remain in a gamma frequency as long as you still have your eyes closed; you’re not really awake (so to speak).

• Let your mind wander through the dreams you have had during the night. Perhaps an earlier dream comes into your mind. With your eyes still closed, watch the images that appear on your inner movie screen.
• In my own case, the images flash in no particular order and often don’t seem to be relevant to anything. Don’t stress over that. Although they might appear unrelated, they are symbolic of what your subconscious (Higher Self) is telling you to process. Symbols are representing something you need to work on. It may be a positive “nudge.”

• Remember as much as you can and before you get up, write down a few ideas that come through at this time. If you repeat this in your waking state as a regular activity, the symbols will get easier and easier to interpret.

Actually, this is how this particular post came to be.

As you begin your day armed with the new information, with a sense of gratitude for your new skill and new confidence, simple steps to accomplishing your goals will fall into place for you.

The one simple thing that has changed the direction of my life as well as my experience of all of it is (wait for it) daily meditation. Sometimes I only give five minutes to the activity, although I prefer 15 to 30 minutes of mindfulness. If you do this already, you are a step ahead of me. The method of waking up that I am suggesting might just suffice as a daily ritual for starting a great day.

If you would like more information about types of meditation, here are twoFREE ebooks that are basic and describe several processes to get you started on a schedule that is right for you. The link is here in this post, where you may download one or both of these books in pdf format.

Of course I will be thrilled if you also sign up for my future communications.

I will be writing more of what I am learning through an affordable paid bimonthly subscription (available April 15) and will continue to link to new discoveries, as well as a variety of available printables that will continue to be free if you are a subscriber.
