AN ALTERED STATE OF MIND...

Whenever we get completely absorbed in an activity we can enter an altered state of consciousness, similar to that achieved in a meditation session. Shifting the mind to this higher level of consciousness is therapeutic, and we should all try to include some form of meditation in our everyday lives. Ten minutes--that's enough to make a difference! Promote personal growth, enhance self-awareness, and open the channels to your "higher self." Once you're open to the Collective Unconscious it's possible to gain intuitive knowledge--enhance and enrich your life by letting the Universe lead you to the right pathway.

START NOW!

Don't wait--sit down and meditate right now. Start with just ten minutes, like beginning a new workout routine--you wouldn't start off with an hour of aerobics after having been sedentary for years!  Take slow, deep breathes and let every muscle in your body relax. Start with your toes and work your way out to your fingers and up to the top of your head. Once you feel "heavy" and nearly asleep you can envision a beautiful setting such as a meadow or a beach at sunset. Mentally "walk" along a pathway, see with your inner eye, hear, smell, even taste what is around you with your psychic senses. You may even meet your "spirit guide" along the way! When your meditation session is over you should feel relaxed, rested, and at peace. Once you try it you'll want to repeat the experience again and again...
