It’s been a while since my last posting and not for lack of offerings.  Lately though, I have come to  realize the supreme importance that periodicity or repetition has to the progression of life, and want to get that message out.

Just imagine trying to become proficient at something after only trying it once.  So here is a worthy practice that is life altering and one that requires just a bit of initial effort, but the payoff is HUGE.  This practice is called Out Picturing or Visualization.  Many people speak of Visualization with regards to manifesting one’s desires.  And while Visualization is important,  Out Picturing is the real prize.  What exactly is Out Picturing you may ask.  Out Picturing is a form of meditation  where instead of imagining a hopeful outcome,  you “see” the outcome in front of you in 3D reality with all the senses involved.  As you sit in meditation with your eyes closed, you “hear” whats going on, you “feel” the realness of the event in front of you.  You “smell” it and “taste” it too if appropriate.  As a warm up;  don’t think of a pink elephant.  Don’t think of a pink elephant. Did you “see” it?  Well that is close to what I’m talking about here.  Spend some time with this because this is Key to manifesting.  If you feel “happy” while Out Picturing, so much the better.  However,  you must use will power in the beginning to take the time for this exercise everyday.  This goes back to periodicity again.   It can be done, and the experience you enjoy while Out Picturing, will become a preview of what is to be.

We live in an ordinary time-space reality.  Nothing profound there.  We are use to this.  It is part of our nature.  Time holds us victim to its constraints sometimes.   To step out of time would be a curious thing–an impossibility really.  However there is a way for us to experience this phenomena right here and right now.  This stopping of time can be achieved through daily meditation practice.  One may ask what value is that?  The discipline of suspending thought empowers thought in a paradoxical way.  There seems to be a connection with the slowing of the brain waves through meditation practice and the then focused thought that is then projected.   The result is a more powerful thought form.  Why is this important?  Because thoughts are the cause or the builder of our reality.  What we think about we experience.  For good or ill.

Step out of time through daily meditation practice and keep your thoughts high–and watch your world change for the better.

Besides motivation and momentum, sometimes just getting started is the biggest hurdle.  Those times when you just can’t get in gear for the job at hand can be challenging.  A sure way to decrease the “overwhelm” is a simple physical act:  Just clean off your desk.  That’s right,  just clear everything off and wash off the desk surface.  You can put all the “stuff” in some other area for now where you won’t have to see it–save the sorting for some other time–because now its time to get to work! 

Sometimes the simplest actions create the biggest effect, and this one works every time.  With a clear, clean,  creative surface to work on, our productivity increases.   Our thoughts become clearer.  It’s easier to focus without all the clutter.  This is a basic Feng Shui technique that incorporates the practical with the spiritual.   As “cleanliness is next to godliness,” we can all at least work like a god.

We as humans have been given a wonderful gift by our Creator–that being the ability to choose our own thoughts.   By choosing what to think about, or to focus on,  we can shape our future events.   Sounds illogical?  Well think about it,  when you are “down” and mull this line of thinking for an extended period, what happens?  That depression seems to go on and on.  But if an external event comes along that forces you to get out of your funk, and you therefore are focusing in a new direction,  this causes you to have a different  type of experience.   To the extent that you focus on the new possibility, you cannot maintain two opposing thoughts at once.  This for the period of your new focused thought, will cancel out your previous “depression.”

By choosing what to focus on–pleasurable thoughts;  this will color your future experiences.  By choosing our thoughts correctly, it makes for more happiness and keeps us young.

I suppose we all experience crazy hectic moments in our lives where things get ahead of us.   The harder we “try,” the be-hinder we get–which makes the going that much more difficult.   Sometimes just “thinking about the doing” even gives us short term comfort.   A sort of “gathering of the forces” rationale.   But as with all practiced activities, and this includes thinking; a sort of momentum builds up.  At this point  the real “Work” never gets  started because the doorway to inertia just got a little bit wider. 

So then what is the solution when so much is thrown at us?   How do we approach it all?  The answer:  Systematically.  Everything is a system Universally speaking.  From the simplest activities to the most complex.   As with the systematic activity in the spinning of a spider’s web, to the pin wheeling  marvel of our own solar system– there is a natural progressing–a system.     

So systematically tackle like activities in a progressive manner til their completion before beginning an unrelated topic.  This keeps you focused and helps with the all important issue of momentum.   As “practice” or repetition is the physical force we consciously do; momentum  is that non physical force that joins us and enhances our efforts.  Then the going gets a lot easier.

 Issues of weight have been a concern for many–and for a variety of reasons.  Vanity, health and general well being are the chief reasons given for wishing to lose a few pounds.  These are all great motivators for getting started;  the problem comes with the “long slog.”  By that I mean just plain old sticking to the plan.  It was therefore my delight to find a gem of a video that has some powerful tools that DO help you lose those few extra pounds.  This video is by noted hypnotist Paul McKenna.  He has recently been featured on TLC in a series on weight loss.  This video is his UK show called “Paul McKenna Will Make You Thin.”  Tall order, but the techniques that he uses are indeed very effective.  Have a look and good luck!Easy Weight-loss Video

Come with me on a journey.   One that is bound to be exciting and unique.  The choice to develop ourselves is one of the greatest gifts that we as humans have.  Through this blog, I hope to explore the may tools available to us that help us to grow and expand our possibilities–and have fun while doing it.  On this very first post, I leave you with a thought for today, 

“Before you can do something, you must first become something.”
