“Authentic wisdom is the ability to monitor yourself at all times to determine your relative state of weakness or strength, and to shift out of those thoughts that weaken you.” Wayne Dyer, 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace

I was reflecting on authenticity and that as I am out and about or busy with my work that the love that I seek is not really Love… but that it is a state of consciousness in my mind and that it really is based on body sensations and notions, however subtle,  that are not true and wholesome like the ideal of love. True love does not come and go and it cannot be found in the world and as I stayed with this, with the stillness, I knew love cannot be found one moment and then lost in another. This presence with Love is timeless, without objects and it might be characterized, although there are no properties in the stillness, I’m saying it is a Self-knowing, Self-recognizing peaceful and serene consciousness of I know this awareness.. a consciousness I recall the experience of as like I’d been in a deep sleep and it is refreshing like a deep object-less sleep.

After he was diagnosed with leukemia, Wayne Dyer decided to have an unconventional surgery with healer John of God. The twist? John of God was in Brazil; Wayne was in Maui. Watch as he describes the surgery and how he felt immediately thereafter:

How did Wayne feel after his “sutures” were removed?
Plus, watch to find out how he’s said he was feeling afterward:

.

“… everything that is fear cannot be love…
everything that is love cannot be fear…”

 

Wayne DyerHe embraced the mysterious ways of spiritual blessings from love. Stories like Dyer and others give me pause… love is of God… incomprehensible and yet, perfectly wonderful. This man and his work is of love.

Seek Inner Peace

Wayne Dyer’s “10 Principles for Success and Inner Peace” work explores basic principles for changing one’s outlook on life. The principles for success and inner peace is a simple, honest guide to living happily.

I previously posted all ten principles on my blog. Here is a link to each of the posts.

10 Principles for Success and Inner Peace
………………………………………………………………
.

#1 Have a Mind That Is Open to Everything and Attached to Nothing
An open mind allows you to explore and create and grow. In all of your relationships, if you can love someone enough to allow them to be exactly what they choose to be without any expectations or attachments from you, you’ll know true peace in your lifetime. 

#2 You can’t give away what you don’t have
Think of the people you know who give love in response to negative energy that’s directed their way. If what you give is self-respect and self-love, the universe will return the love and respect you’ve been radiating. It’s really so simple.  

#3 There Are No Justified Resentments
Be willing to send the higher, faster energies of love, peace, joy, forgiveness, and kindness as your response to whatever comes your way… readily offer forgiveness. 

#4 Don’t die with your music still in you
Find your passion and follow it even if it means marching to your own drumbeat when it’s different from what everyone else or society says you should be doing. 

#5 Embrace Silence
There’s a momentary silence in the space between your thoughts that you can become aware of with practice. In this silent space, you’ll find the peace that you crave in your daily life. 

.

The Coming of the Kingdom – Luke 17:20-21, KJV

“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”

.

#6 Give Up Your Personal History
Your past is over! When you’re at peace, you radiate a different kind of energy than when you’re stressed or depressed. Your mediation practice keeps building immunity. The more you achieve peacefulness through meditation, the more your peaceful state impacts those around you.

#7 You Can’t Solve a Problem with the Same Mind That Created It
In order to solve relationship problems, you need to adopt a different mindset by questioning the negative thought(s) and replacing them with positive ones that are as or more true. 

#8 Treat Yourself As If You Already Were What You’d Like to Become
The more you see yourself as what you’d like to become, the more inspired you are . . . you discover that you’re a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be . . . dormant forces that were dead or nonexistent, springing into being and collaborating with you as a result of your becoming inspired and acting as if what you want is already here!

#9 Treasure Your Divinity
There is no place that God is not. You are energized by the divine intelligence that supports everything and everyone on this planet. 

10 Wisdom Is Avoiding All Thoughts Which Weaken You
Authentic wisdom is the ability to monitor yourself at all times to determine your relative state of weakness or strength, and to shift out of those thoughts that weaken you.

Wayne Dyer’s “10 Principles for Success and Inner Peace” work explores basic principles for changing one’s outlook on life. The principles for success and inner peace is a simple, honest guide to living happily.

I previously posted all ten principles on my blog. Here is a chance to discover them all from a single list that links to each of the posts. Originally, each post features Dr. Dyers video. Most were since removed from YouTube, but I replaced the missing video with quality, and suitable, other training videos. 

We are all “works in progress” we may say. Sometime, we get caught up in the past only to feel there is too little or no energy to live in the present.

The series of lessons is designed to help us move away from the dominance of the past (problems) into opportunities for higher energy and creativity that stem from deepest wisdom and truth (solutions). Understanding of wisdom and truth then is expanding. Your truth is expanding… as you move into the flow of your higher-self truth (living in your solution).

“Believe that life is worth living,
and your belief will help create
that fact.”

~ William James

Following is from work by
Wayne Dyer
Ten Principles for Success and Inner Peace

.

The Tenth Principle:
Wisdom Is Avoiding All Thoughts Which Weaken You

Every single thought you have can be assessed in terms of whether it strengthens or weakens you.

Dr. Dyer talks about a simple muscle test where you hold your arm out to the side and think a thought. Have someone else put pressure on your arm. If you think a thought that is true your arm will remain strong. However, if you think a thought that is false your arm will become weak. He also talks about David Hawkins’ book, Power vs.Force and explains that “every thought computes to either weaken or strengthen you. 


Authentic wisdom is the ability to monitor yourself at all times to determine your relative state of weakness or strength, and to shift out of those thoughts that weaken you.

Wayne Dyer 2Power urges you to live and perform at your own highest level, and it is compassionate.

Thoughts of attack and force actually weaken you . . . In an athletic event, your thoughts are on overpowering your opponent, being better than another, and playing and winning at any cost. The entire muscular structure of your body is actually weakened . . . if in the midst of an athletic event you can keep your thoughts on performing at your highest capacity, on using your inner strength to muster the energy to be as efficient as it’s possible for you to be, and to have great respect for your God-given abilities, you will actually be empowering yourself.

The thought that makes most people the weakest is shame . . . The importance of forgiving yourself cannot be stated strongly enough . . . No amount of guilt will ever undo what’s been done. If your past behavior mobilizes you to learn from your mistakes, this is not guilt; it’s learning from the past. But to wallow in the present moment over your so-called errors is guilt, and it can only take place now. . . . Guilt is released through the empowering thought of love and respect for yourself. You empower yourself with love and respect, letting go of standards of perfection and refusing to use up the precious currency of your life, the now, with thoughts that only continue to frustrate and weaken you.

.

Wayne Dyer – Power of Intention:

.

You have the choice each day to wake up and say, ‘Good morning, God’ or ‘Good God; Morning!’ It’s always a choice . . . to me it’s an insult to this wondrous universe filled with a hundred million miracles to ever allow myself to think thoughts of boredom or apathy . . . When you’re afraid, you’ve moved away from love . . . Remember . . . Every single thought you have can be assessed in terms of whether it strengthens or weakens you.

The most empowering thoughts you can have are those of peace, joy, love, and acceptance . . . these thoughts stem from willingness to allow the world to be as it is . . . All of this is nothing more than a conscious decision on your part to be in charge of your thinking.

Be aware at any given moment in your life that you always have a choice about the thoughts you allow in your mind. No one else can put a thought there. Regardless of the circumstances you find yourself in, there is your choice.

.

.

Choose to replace weakening thoughts with thoughts of a higher spiritual frequency . . . Your mind is yours to control. You are the creator and selector of your thoughts. You can change them at will. It is your God-given inheritance, your corner of freedom that no one can take away. No one can have control of your thoughts without your consent. So choose to avoid thoughts that weaken you, and you will know true wisdom. It is your choice!

.

“Your beliefs become your thoughts, 
Your thoughts become your words, 
Your words become your actions, 
Your actions become your habits, 
Your habits become your values, 
Your values become your destiny.“

~ Mahatma Gandhi

contemplative… practices

Contemplative practices are counter-cultural. Broadly defined, contemplative practices, are more than the stereotype of prayer of a religious nature or meditation within an eastern tradition. Contemplative mind-body practices cultivate a focus on experiences, ideas or situations that act to remind us to connect to what we find most meaningful.

Contemplative practices are widely varied. I included an illustration below from the center for Contemplative Mind in Society that visually expands contemplative practices; for instance: various forms of meditation; focused thinking or brainstorming; time out in nature; writing; performing in the arts; contemplative movement in active, physical practices like yoga or tai chi; and silent practices like mindfulness and prayer of course.

Some people find that rituals rooted in a religious or cultural tradition sooth their soul. Not all practices are done in solitude. Groups and communities engage in practices that support reflection in a social context.

We may each benefit by a contemplative practice.

From the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society…

Historically, contemplative practice has been taught by the world’s spiritual traditions. However, in the last three decades, the fields of psychology, medicine, and education have recognized that contemplative practice can contribute to well-being and maturation. As a result, health professionals and educators have been teaching contemplative practices in ‘non-religious forms’ that can be used as a resource for resilience by agnostics and atheists, as well as by people with a spiritual or religious worldview.

There are two major types of contemplative practice:

  • Contemplation of behavior: When stressed out, angry, or afraid, we tend to become reactive. In such moments, we often act impulsively, in ways that harm ourselves or others. Contemplative practice teaches us to examine and change these destructive forms of behavior.
  • Elevation of awareness: The stress of daily life is like a sticky spider’s web. It ensnares us. It prevents us from experiencing the beauty that surrounds us, our capacity for love and compassion, and the presence of a transcendent dimension in life. Through meditation, prayer, the arts, and observation of the natural world (and many other techniques), contemplative practice can help us restore our ability to rise above our anxieties, and to perceive life’s mystery and beauty.

The links below offer some examples of contemplative practices:

.

Activist

Relational

Creative

Movement

Generative

Cyclical

Stillness

Ritual

The roots of the tree encompass and transcend differences in the
religious traditions from which many of the practices originated.

The Ninth Principle:
Treasure Your Divinity

You are a divine creation of God. You can never be separate from that which created you.

While you’re separated in your mind from your source; you lose your divine power, the power of your source.

Just like the drop of water, you too will change form and ultimately return to your source.

Wayne DyerAs long as you feel disconnected from God, you lose the power of your source, which is the unlimited power to create, to be miraculous, and to experience the complete joy of being alive.

Your ego is nothing more than an idea that you carry around with you everywhere you go. This idea tells you that you are the sum total of what you what you have, what you do, and who you were . . . Your ego also tells you that you’re separate from everything that’s missing in your life. So you spend a great deal of time and energy chasing after what’s missing . . . your ego keeps you in a constant state of fear, worry, anxiety, and stress. It implores you to be better than everyone around you . . . it maintains your separate status from God and it allows you to be terrified of your own divinity.

There is no place that God is not.

Remind yourself of this every day . . . you’re already connected to all that you’d like to attract into your life.

In some inexplicable way, you’re already connected to all that you’d like to attract into your life by the presence of this universal, all-powerful Spirit of God . . . You are a divine creation. You are a being of light who showed up here as a human being at the exact moment you were supposed to . . . You are beloved. You are a miracle. You are a part of the eternal perfection.

Your divine purpose – Wayne Dyer:

.

You are energized by the divine intelligence that supports everything and everyone on this planet. In a world in which this divine intelligence creates everything, there can be no accidents.

.

The Wayne Dyer videos that I had put into this and the other posts from this series were removed from YouTube – I am doing my best to replace them when I find suitable substitutes.

.

Every time you experience fear, self-rejection, anxiety, guilt, or hate, you’re denying your divinity and succumbing to the influences of that insidious ego mind that has convinced you of your disconnection to God. You are a divine creation of God. You can never be separate from that which created you.

.

The above is from work by
Wayne Dyer
Ten Principles for Success and Inner Peace

.

Dr. Dyer tells a story of author U.S. Anderson called Three Magic Words. In the end it is revealed that the words are ‘You are God.’ As Dr. Dyer goes on to explain, “Not God in the sense of ‘above all others and better than everyone else,’ but in the sense of being eternally connected to your source, the ever-present power of love that never abandons you and never runs dry. You can rely on this source if you remind yourself that it includes you at all times.

“Dream as if you’ll live forever. 
Live as if you’ll die today.”

~ James Dean

.

Following is from work by
Wayne Dyer
Ten Principles for Success and Inner Peace

.


The Eighth Principle:
Treat Yourself As If You Already Were What You’d Like to Become

Whatever it is that you envision for yourself . . . begin acting as if what you would like to become is already your reality. This is a wonderful way to set into motion the forces that will collaborate with you to make your dreams come true . . . inspiration involves a mind that transcends all limitations, thoughts that break all their bonds, and a consciousness that expands in every direction.

Wayne Dyer 2The more you see yourself as what you’d like to become, the more inspired you are . . . you discover that you’re a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be . . . dormant forces that were dead or nonexistent, springing into being and collaborating with you as a result of your becoming inspired and acting as if what you want is already here! By having the courage to declare yourself as already being where you want to be, you will almost force yourself to act in a new, exciting, and spiritual fashion.

This is a silent agreement between you and God . . . a knowing on your part that success and inner peace are your birthright, that you are a child of God; and as such, you’re entitled to a life of joy, love and happiness.

Furthermore, you act toward everyone else as if they, too, are all that they are capable of becoming . . . particularly with your children, it’s important to always have this little thought in mind:

    • Catch them doing things right.
    • Remind them often of their inherent brilliance, their capacity for being responsible, their innate talents, and their fantastic abilities.
    • Treat them as if they’re already responsible, bright, attractive, and honorable.

Before your next encounter . . . have expectations that focus on the qualities of inner peace and success . . . This strategy for living works for virtually everything.

.

The Wayne Dyer videos that I had put into this and the other posts from this series were removed from YouTube – I am doing my best to replace them when I find suitable substitutes.

.

There are no coincidences . . . as you place more and more of your energy on what you intend to manifest, you start seeing those intentions materializing . . . you must hold on to the idea that you can negotiate the presence of these things by keeping your energy field always focused with love on what you passionately intend to create.

The law of attraction is put into play, and your thoughts literally attract energies . . . connected to God as you always are, you are a divine force that puts this synchronicity into your everyday life . . . what you think about is what expands; therefore, you’ll become more mindful and careful of what you think about.

This process of treating yourself, ‘as if’ begins with your thoughts, impacts your emotional state, and finally stirs you into action . . . thoughts to feelings to action, they will all react affirmatively when you stay inspired and get out in front of yourself in ways that are consistent with what you want to become. Declare yourself to be.

Treat everyone you encounter with the same intention. Celebrate in others their finest qualities. Treat them all in this ‘as if’ manner . . . Whether you think this is possible or impossible, either way you’ll be right And you’ll see the rightness of your thoughts manifesting everywhere you go.

.”

Following is from work by
Wayne Dyer
Ten Principles for Success and Inner Peace

.

The Seventh Principle:
You Can’t Solve a Problem with the Same Mind That Created It

Wayne DyerThe same problems that repeat themselves in different relationships stem from limiting thoughts and beliefs. When you believe the habitual negative thoughts that run on autopilot, you can’t solve the same problems that keep coming up in different relationships. Your thoughts determine your feelings, which then determine your behaviors and actions.

Negative thoughts lead to not feeling good about yourself. When you behave and take action from feeling bad about yourself, you won’t get good results.

In order to solve relationship problems, you need to adopt a different mindset by questioning the negative thought(s) and replacing them with positive ones that are as or more true. For instance, if you believe there are no good men out there, you’ll continue attracting men who are not good for you. When you question this thought and see otherwise, you’ll open up the possibility to attract a good man.

Your thoughts are the source of virtually everything in your life. You may not be able to change the world, but you can change the way you think about it. Change the way you think about something, and you change your relationship with that thing.

If your thoughts are filled with problems, chances are good you’ll perpetuate those problems.

Think about what you can do, not what you can’t do. Change your thoughts from problems to solutions, and watch your life change.

Three Levels of Consciousness

The first level is ego consciousness . . . primary emphasis is on your personality and your body . . . an exceptionally strong belief in your separateness from everyone else . . . prods you to compete compare . . . it’s at this level of consciousness that problems exist. This is where inner peace is virtually impossible and success eludes you.

Wayne Dyer 2

The second level is group consciousness . . . you move past yourself as the central focus of your life, and you now include others who are members of your tribe or your clan . . . you’re required to think and act like the group . . . At the group consciousness level, you’re often dedicated to continuing social problems such as war, brutality, and religious persecution . . . But it also comes right down to daily living. Families insist that you adopt their viewpoint, hate whom they hate; love whom they love . . . Remember that you can’t solve any problem with the same mind that created it. In order to resolve a struggle that results from group consciousness, you have to change your mind or continue to have the problem haunt you. Resolving the problems related to group consciousness involves moving into the highest level.

The third level is mystical consciousness . . . this level of problem-free consciousness is distinguished by the feeling of connectedness rather than separateness . . . you feel connected to every individual, every creature, the entire planet, and God . . . cooperation supplants competition; hatred is dissolved with love; and sadness is reduced to nothingness with joy . . . you’re a nation of the world with a global awareness, rather than a patriot of any one country . . . you will have changed your mind! Problems will now be only illusions of the mind that you no longer carry around with you.

mindfulness: a state of non-distraction

Mindfulness improves reading ability,
.
working memory, and task-focus

.

If you think your inability to concentrate is a hopeless condition, think again — and breathe, and focus. According to a new study, as little as two weeks of mindfulness training can significantly improve one’s reading comprehension, working memory capacity, and ability to focus. (source)

.

.

Findings were recently published online in the empirical psychology journal Psychological Science.

Michael Mrazek, author of the paper:

“What surprised me the most was actually the clarity of the results. Mindfulness Training Improves Working Memory Capacity and GRE Performance While Reducing Mind Wandering.” “Even with a rigorous design and effective training program, it wouldn’t be unusual to find mixed results. But we found reduced mind-wandering in every way we measured it.“

Grace by Nathan Furr free photo #12440To investigate whether mindfulness training can reduce mind-wandering and thereby improve performance, the scientists randomly assigned 48 undergraduate students to either a class that taught the practice of mindfulness or a class that covered fundamental topics in nutrition. Both classes were taught by professionals with extensive teaching experience in their fields. Within a week before the classes, the students were given two tests: a modified verbal reasoning test from the GRE (Graduate Record Examination) and a working memory capacity (WMC) test. Mind-wandering during both tests was also measured.

The mindfulness classes provided a conceptual introduction along with practical instruction on how to practice mindfulness in both targeted exercises and daily life. Meanwhile, the nutrition class taught nutrition science and strategies for healthy eating, and required students to log their daily food intake.

Within a week after the classes ended, the students were tested again. Their scores indicated that the mindfulness group significantly improved on both the verbal GRE test and the working memory capacity test. They also mind-wandered less during testing. None of these changes were true of the nutrition group.

Mrazek:

“This is the most complete and rigorous demonstration that mindfulness can reduce mind-wandering, one of the clearest demonstrations that mindfulness can improve working memory and reading, and the first study to tie all this together to show that mind-wandering mediates the improvements in performance.“

He added that the research establishes with greater certainty that some cognitive abilities often seen as immutable, such as working memory capacity, can be improved through mindfulness training.

Mrazek and the rest of the research team –– which includes Michael S. Franklin, project scientist; mindfulness teacher and research specialist Dawa Tarchin Phillips; graduate student Benjamin Baird; and senior investigator Jonathan Schooler, professor of psychological and brain sciences –– are extending their work by investigating whether similar results can be achieved with younger populations, or with web-based mindfulness interventions. They are also examining whether or not the benefits of mindfulness can be compounded by a program of personal development that also targets nutrition, exercise, sleep, and personal relationships.

Meditation Changes Brains
Gamma brain wave production is associated with consciousness, attention, learning and memory. We want to train our brains to increase peace and serenity and this changes the brain.

Embrace Silence
Instead of rationalizing and asking your friends and family what to do without being you, just be you. Relax your mind. Open up the small spaces between your thoughts to silence.

10 Principles for Success and Inner Peace, B4Peace, embrace silence, forgive, Forgiveness, Give Up Your Personal History, life is beautiful, Love without resentment, Principles for Success, success, Wayne Dyer

.

Kahlil Gibran:
“Of time you would make a stream
upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing.
Yet the timeless in you is aware of life’s timelessness,
and knows that yesterday is but today’s memory
and tomorrow is today’s dream.“

Ten Principles for Success and Inner Peace

.

The Sixth Principle:
Give Up Your Personal History 

.

In other words, don’t let your past limit or define who you are, how you live, or what you accomplish in and with your life. Belief is a thought that you have repeated over and over again. A habit is a behavior that you have repeated over and over again. You cannot find the light by studying the darkness. Give up your personal history.

Dyer offers his opinion, based on his personal experiences in overcoming challenges. He says, “I have no advice on goal setting, putting your nose to the grindstone, planning your financial future, listening to us older folks, respecting your culture  . . . Instead, what I offer you are ten secrets that allow your spirit to guide you.

Love for yourself. Love what you do. Love others.

Focus in meditation on love

Meditation Not Only Affects You
It Impacts Everyone Around You

When you’re at peace, you radiate a different kind of energy than when you’re stressed or depressed. The more peaceful you become, the easier you may deflect the negative energies of those you encounter.

This is like having an invisible shield around you that nothing can penetrate unless it’s at a higher spiritual energy than your shield . . . A person who attempts to bring you into their misery cannot succeed without your agreement.

Your mediation practice keeps building immunity. Not only can you deflect the negativity of those around you, but your sense of peace will bring others into harmony with you . . . just being in the energy field of those who meditate raises the serotonin levels of the observers . . . The more you achieve peacefulness through meditation, the more your peaceful state impacts those around you.

.

The Wayne Dyer videos that I had put into this and the other posts from this series were removed from YouTube – I am doing my best to replace them when I find suitable substitutes.

.

Understand that what you think about expands . . . If your thoughts are filled with doubt and you have a closed mind, you will of necessity act upon those closed mindedness doubts, and you’ll see evidence of your thinking virtually everywhere you are. On the other hand, should you decide (make no mistake about this, it is a choice) to have a mind that’s open to everything, then you’ll act upon that inner energy, and you’ll be the creator of as well as the recipient of miracles wherever you are.

Wayne Dyer 2

No one really is a failure . . . fails at anything. Everything you do produces a result . . . Failure is a judgment. It’s just an opinion. It comes from your fears, which can be eliminated by love.

You will find your answers in the silence

Your past is over! By bonding to your past, you not only ensure that you’ll be
immobilized today, but you prevent yourself from healing . . . with compassion, allow the words, wounds, and pain of the past to be written, embraced, examined, understood, accepted, and loved for all that you’ve learned and experienced. The act of . . . embracing it will give you the strength to transform the past into song, poem, paint, or ritual if you feel called to do those things, or to throw it away in your unique way.

You went through what you went through in order to get to where you are . . . and the evidence is that you did . . . embrace this . . . and understand this . . . accept this.

Become free to immerse yourself in this moment — the now that’s called the
present — because it’s simply that — a present to open . . . relish, nurture, play with, and enjoy and explore your present.

Don’t let the elusive present moment get used up by thoughts that aren’t in the here and now . . . you can consume your now with thoughts of “then” and “maybe,” but that will keep you from the inner peace and success you could experience . . . Practice living in the moment, and refuse to allow any thoughts based on your past to define you.

Stop and take notice of all that’s in your immediate space — the people, creatures, vegetation, cloud formations, building designs, everything . . . be set upon releasing your personal history from your repertoire of available excuses for why you’re not living in peace.

Transcending labels, particularly those that have been placed on you by others in your past, opens you to the opportunity of soaring in the now in any way that you desire.

You can be all things at any present moment in your life . . . you’re not what you’ve done, what you’ve been, how others have taught you, or what has been done to you. You’re a part of the beloved, connected always to your source, and therefore connected to the unlimited power of the beloved.

“When you are born,
your work is placed in your heart.”

~ Kahlil Gibran

.

Following is from work by
Wayne Dyer
Ten Principles for Success and Inner Peace

.

The Fifth Principle:
Embrace Silence 

Try to give yourself the gift of silence now and then. It’s really the space between the notes that makes the music you enjoy so much. Without the spaces, all you would have is one continuous noisy note. Everything that’s created comes out of silence.

There’s a momentary silence in the space between your thoughts that you can become aware of with practice. In this silent space, you’ll find the peace that you crave in your daily life. You’ll never know that peace if you have no spaces between your thoughts . . . it is when you merge in to the silence and become one with it that you reconnect to knowing the peacefulness of silence with God.

The space between the 60,000 thoughts we are said to have every day is where peace is. How do you access those spaces? Learn to make them bigger through meditation, through training your mind. Your thoughts are your thoughts after all. You can control them.

Accessing More Silence in Your Life
Make mediation a daily practice . . . Give yourself time to sit quietly alone . . . There are many opportunities to access silence. I try to meditate each time I stop at a red light . . . I probably stop at a red light 20 or 30 times a day, creating 40 minutes to an hour of silence. And there’s always someone behind me to let me know that my time is up.

Meditation Not Only Affects You. It Impacts Everyone Around You.

When you’re at peace, you radiate a different kind of energy than when you’re stressed or depressed. The more peaceful you become, the easier you can deflect the negative energies of those you encounter. This is like having an invisible shield around
you that nothing can penetrate unless it’s at a higher spiritual energy than your shield . . . A person who attempts to bring you into their misery cannot succeed without your agreement. Your mediation practice keeps you immune. Not only can you deflect the negativity of those around you, but your sense of peace will bring others into harmony with you.

Just being in the energy field of those who meditate raises the serotonin levels of the observers . . . The more you achieve peacefulness through meditation, the more your peaceful state impacts those around you. You will find your answers in the silence.

.

.

Wayne Dyer 2Our tendency is to over analyze everything and replay the details of what he said, why he said it, what went wrong. This makes it impossible to embrace silence.

Instead of rationalizing and asking your friends and family what to do without being you, just be you. Relax your mind. Open up the small spaces between your thoughts to silence. Learn about allowing and to listen to intuition.

Practicing mindfulness meditations is one way to connect with silence.

The Wilderness Is Therapy
Nature has a marvelous way of healing many maladies . . . Give yourself opportunities to be innature as a regular part of your life routine.

Keep Your Silent Communion with God to Yourself . . . ego can inhibit the creative process. For this reason, I urge you not to divulge your private insights, what you intend to create . . . When you talk about your emerging manifesting ideas and relate your insights to others, you often feel the need to explain and defend them. What happens is that ego has entered. Once the go is present, the manifesting stops. Silence is where manifesting occurs, so keep your potential miracles in the treasured silence that you embrace as often as possible.

Program Description
In his video Dr. Wayne Dyer talks about the Ancient Wisdom understood by the Tao Te Ching. He expresses how the Spirit needs nothing and how we can Feel successful with no material objects in our world. The Spirit cares not about what it owns but about the progress it instills in the lives of all. * This is a must watch for Personal Development. “Change Your Thought, Change Your Life”.

.

Even one 10 minute change in your daily life may launch you on the way to making a big difference. Try it.

Here are 10 things that you might try:

  • Before you get out of bed, lie still; notice the parts of your body that feel tight and tense. Get up and take time to stretch your legs, your arms and your lower back. Breathe in with each stretching movement; release and relax.
  • Have breakfast outside on nice mornings.Being in nature can stimulate inner stillness.
  • Find a quiet place at home where you can read and relax in peace.
  • Sit and practice mindful meditation; just a 5-10 minute sessions for the first week to begin. Increase the time in a week.
  • Turn the radio off while you’re driving and give the act of driving your full attention.
  • Spend less time at your computer or turn off your mobile phone when you’re eating, sleeping, resting, driving and having important conversations.
  • Have technology free nights without the TV, computer, radio phone, or video games.
  • Take a few seconds to organize your thoughts before rambling onto conversation.
  • Go for a quiet walk — without the iPod. Allow yourself to get lost in the sounds of nature.
  • Enjoy the silence before you drift off to sleep. This will promote a feeling of calm, rest, and balance.

Hunt 4 Truth

For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." https://hunt4truth.wordpress.com/ Absolute Truth is whole, complete and perfect. Absolute Truth is just beyond words, mental concepts, and form; Non-being, yet in everything and yet beyond thought forms. Prayer and meditation fashion in our hearts further honesty, openness, and willingness and thus, we may glimpse guidance and truth to rightly think and act. Any glimpse of truth is not Absolute Truth. It may be sufficient until we renew our commitment to serve God. Life is thus best navigated during mindfulness of prayer and meditation by an inner peace. "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." Romans 1:20
