Weekly Practices for January 2010

Weekly Practices for January:
The purpose of a spiritual practice is to open a portal to your authentic energy…that which is beyond density…when you take the time to fully embrace a weekly practice you assist your energy to anchor greater presence and enjoy greater abundant flow.

Each day this week gift yourself by Breathing deeply while setting the intention to relax the mind and just be present in the moment.  

Focus your gaze on a cloud or a portion of the sky.  Breathe in and out through that place in the sky.  Just imaging that each inhale is bringing cosmic energy from beyond this planet into you.  

Look THROUGH the cloud, through the sky into the void of space. With your breath, draw the energy of cosmic space into your being…let it fill you.  Dwell here for as long as you wish, and as your attention comes back to your body, just notice.  Feel the subtle re-charge of cosmic energy…feel the Peace of your divine connection.

Decide this week to set aside a SPECIFIC time each day to do the following.

With your hand on your heart, take a couple of deep spacious centering breaths…then ask:  “What am I to know at this time?”

Simply be present, be awake to the sensations, thoughts and feelings that follow. Sometimes the voice of Guidance comes to us through a felt sense of space, a shift in the quality of our being-ness.  Sometimes there is a sound or certain thoughts we find in our head!  

Pay attention, trust whatever you do, or do not notice.  Close the session by saying “thank you”.  Sometime the gift of guidance shows up in the time that follows a session.  Be available!

January 17 – 23

Ahhh, journaling!  Seems you either love it or avoid it.  This week we invite you to allow yourself the gift of what if can unlock with the following practice.

Pick up your journal and write at the top of the page:  In this moment I am grateful for……  And fill in multiple endings to that sentence stem.  

Let your consciousness discover more about what you are paying attention to.  

After you have given a few minutes to this practice, then write at the top of the page:  I now choose to…..  And see what action steps are offered to your clarity as a result of taking some moments in gratitude awareness.

January 24 – 30

We have found that consistently through the years, one of the single greatest gifts given to this world is the Mantra of Self-Ascension.  Simple, powerful, concise!

I AM HERE.  I AM READY. I AM OPEN.  GUIDE ME.

Write the mantra of Self-Ascension on some sticky notes and place them in “unlikely places” around your home, car and office.  When you see one during the day, make a commitment to place your hand on your heart and bring your attention to the mantra for full 60-seconds. Take a clearing breath and quietly recite the mantra to yourself.  Be present to your process and celebrate.  This one simple actions will bring extraordinary clarity and restoration energy into your life.

January 31 – February 6

OK, now that you’ve allowed yourself to break through any journaling resistance, here is a technique that will generate greater harmony in all or your actions!

Write: Joy is my birthright!  

Then respond to: Today it would bring me Joy to……
