Wake Me Up to the Web

You might think this title means that you have to get out of bed in the morning, punch on your computer and get moving on the internet. No big deal, right?

Distinctly not.

What I am talking about is expanding your vision. We live in a boundless energy field and you’re an integral part of it. How can you become more aware of this? Or, better yet, how can you make this a part of your day to day consciousness?

1. Start the day with a short routine; either walking, exercise, meditation, prayer – some sort of regular practice that will bridge you into the day. If you do exercises they should have an internal element; that is involved with posture, breathing, chi flow, good energy, or clearing your mind.

2. Use affirmations and reminders throughout the day. Work with a saying or some positive reminder. You are trying to do something different – which is stay aware of the endless energy network which we call our “world.” You can count on this energy being there, so remind yourself that it is.

3. Pause. At some point when you are feeling pushed to the edge and your perspective becomes somewhat narrowed, ie you are totally stressed, try to take a minute or even one second to pause. Just do nothing. Don’t relax, just stop for a moment. Then go on stressing. Stress is good. We need it in certain situations. Tomorrow I will write about the one tenthousandth of a second relaxation method. Oh, but here’s a hint. If you drop the tension in your facial muscles, the entire body will relax.

4. Be assured. You can count on the unified field because it is the inherent nature of reality. Physics knows. The more you look for it the more certain of it you will become. It’s only your perception (and a mere thousands of years of cultural conditioning) that have prevented you from seeing it, and now you hold the key.

We will proceed on to relaxation, chi, healing, and beyond…so stay tuned.
