Meditation Creating My Life From the Inside Out

Meditation Connecting with Your Higher Source Leads to Inspiration

Mediation Often Takes a Back Seat in Our Western Culture

We are such an outward focused society especially here in the west that meditation and contemplation often take a back seat in life. Most my life and my conditioning has been wrapped up in what I do and how much I get accomplished. Nothing wrong with accomplishing goals and creating results in your life but what if there were an easier way? Rather than through using our will (driven by our egos) what if we allowed inspiration to guide our lives?

My Journey

Two years ago when I set out on my online marketing journey there was a lot to learn and do. I found myself so stuck in my head by virtue of the learning curve I was on, I could feel myself getting out of balanced. Again, there is nothing wrong with learning new things and expanding myself and my skills however when I come from a balanced living there is a grace that envelopes my life.

When I Least Expected It

Just when I least expected it, Larry and I were at our health food grocery store in Sedona, New Frontiers. I was eating in their cool little deli restaurant when I noticed the bulletin board. There is this great bulletin board with tons of announcements, events and seminars listed. I was drawn to one in particular. It spoke to me. I grab the information on the flyer. It was for a 8 week meditation course.

Funny How We Often Wait Until Our Backs Against the Wall

Memories flooded my mind when back when I was 30 having just gone through a divorce and living on my own for the first time since college I found myself at a cross roads in my life. It was financially challenging time in my life and I knew I needed help. Just how bad had it gotten, I hadn’t paid my rent at the time for 3 months. Fortunately my landlord was a good friend. I went to see an Episcopal woman minister. She counseled people who came to her and she was highly recommended by friends of mine at the time.

I told her many areas of my life were great but there was this one challenge in my life which was my finances. What seemed to me at the time an insurmountable challenge. She said, something to me that I will never forget. ‘You don’t have a financial challenge you have a spiritual challenge. You are not taking time each day to connect with your higher source, to connect with God.’ I remember laughing all the way home. I knew immediately I could do something about that.

She shared with me that through prayer and meditation I could access this higher power. I am a good student so having tried everything else I just got off the merry go around of life and meditated, prayed intentionally each day, twice a day. Over the next 40 days or so I felt tremendous inward changes taking place in my life. I started having more mystical experiences in my life on a regular basis. Experiences that blew my mind.

I attracted a six figure income over the next 3 months into my life, I’d think of friends and they would call me within minutes the list goes on and on. Now back to present time. Unfortunately my mediation practiced has been sporadic in my life and guess what my life has reflected this. I have had just come through a bout of adrenal and thyroid exhaustion and without getting into the whole story, it was just another reminder of not tapping into my higher power.
