Prayer/Meditation of the Day:
Dear Universe, Thank you for providing what I need in divine right timing. Thank you for giving me the time to reflect on lessons learned. Thank you for helping me find my balance so that I may slow down, think about the situation, and avoid making hasty, impulsive decisions.


☮☯♥ I felt such a sense of sadness while thinking/writing about this card, that I have attached Reiki to it. If you are open to receiving the energy, simply set your intention to do so. Love to all of you.☮☯♥

Meditation is HARD!

Meditation, the real, actual, clearing your mind of any and all thoughts kind of meditation is HARD!! I've done plenty of these guided 'meditations' on YouTube (guided visualizations might be a more accurate way of describing them), asking you to visualize walking through a meadow to a magical place or visualizing white light entering your body to clear out all the lower vibrating energies. These are very helpful and have worked for me for years. They really help to calm me and relax me and put me in a better mindset, but I've never really tried to do 'real' meditation. Like the Buddhists do, where they sit there and clear their minds of everything and just be. I attempted to meditate last night. It ended up being more like a push-thoughts-out-of-my-mind over and over again session. There was a millisecond here or a half a second there when I actually accomplished having zero thoughts. As someone whose mind normally runs at least 50 different thought process

Armed with antidotes, the guards of mindfulness and mental alertness destroy disturbing emotions like attachment at once, as soon as they arise. -- This is the practice of the Bodhisattvas. (JAPID- Jealousy, Anger, Pride, Ignorance, Desire)    By Thich Naht Hanh on Tuesday May 31st, 2016 http://upliftconnect.com/release-anger-mindfulness/ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I've been working on this a lot lately. I realized a long time ago that I don't want to have any of those troublesome feelings (jealousy, anger, pride, etc), so I've always pushed them down. I show my happy face for as long as I can, until I explode. Then whoever is within sight of me gets a good idea of what my ego really thinks of them. I've tried a couple of different ways to deal with the

And another thing, you can apply this (#35) to our attitudes towards others. I was just sitting here thinking about one particular person who really gets under my skin, grinds my gears, and pushes every last button I have. This person drives me absolutely NUTS with his ignorance, lack of caring, and refusal to understand anything! I've wasted so much of my energy hating on him. This is very draining for me. I have labeled him as the culprit, the energy vampire, but I am the one who is allowing it to flow as such. I must remember that he is an extension of me. We are all extensions of each other. We're connected. What he is experiencing, I am experiencing as well. I will embrace the energy, nurture it, love it, Reiki it, and allow it to be, rather than fighting it and fueling it. Turns out I was just kidding about focusing on one of the Practices of the Bodhisattva each day. Based on the first one, it seems that it will take more time than that to research it, understand it, and
