Shhhhh, I’m Meditating

I have a friend who subscribes to Abraham/Hicks tape-of-the-week program who generously shares them with my sister and me.  I was feeling the need for some new tapes when my sister called to say she had a whole new batch for me to download – yeah!!!

I have been getting back into the routine of walking again and I love listening to this powerful teaching while I take in the beauty of my surroundings and get some exercise.  With each new batch of recordings,  I connect to another level of understanding.  It’s like I am being led down the rabbit hole….”How far do you want to go?”.   With each new understanding comes a new question and with the new question comes new answers and therefore greater understanding and awareness.

What I am hearing clearly this time is the need to quiet my mind in order to align with the new creation that is waiting for me in the ethers.  By the time something is manifested into reality it is effectively “old news”.  Where there is a problem, a solution is born, isn’t that great to know?  I’m wanting to bring my awareness into the frequency of the solution rather than focusing on the problem, which I know from experience doesn’t work too well.   I like the metaphor of driving a car – we never look in our lap while driving; we look forward to where we are going (duh).  The other piece of the equation is that the new creation will always come through the crack of least resistance.   What can I do to release some of that unconscious resistance?  I keep hearing the message to practice meditation on a daily basis; to practice the art of letting go of the conscious mind for brief periods of time.  I have been resistant to this but now it seems like the next logical step.  Ok, I’ll do it!!

I got Getting into the Vortex Guided Meditation CD by Esther and Jerry Hicks (The Teachings of Abraham) from my niece Jessica for Christmas and have used it on several occasions.  It’s a wonderful CD with four different 15 minute meditations: (1) General Well-Being, (2) Financial Well-Being, (3) Physical Well-Being, and (4) Relationships Well-Being.  Even though I understand the benefits of Meditation, I have rarely taken the time to do it on a regular basis.  I tried meditating at home but I wasn’t really comfortable doing it there.  Since moving to my new office space,  I have found my massage room to be exceptionally quiet and relaxing, so for the past few days I have been coming to work early in order to meditate before I start my work day.

Meditation takes a great deal of practice and patience (apparently).   As I started to listen to the tape,  I could feel my resistance to letting go of my thoughts and evening out my breathing.  This Meditation CD has special musical tones that help the meditator find the rhythm of proper breathing.  They suggest a breathing tempo of 6 breaths per minute.   I found myself not hearing the words the first few times around because I wanted to concentrate on the breathing aspect of the meditation.   Breathe In (1-2-3), Breathe Out (1-2-3-4-5).  So far, all this breathing has been great for the complexion and I do feel better as I settle down and find my own unique rhythm.

I haven’t tapped into infinite intelligence just yet but I will let you know of my progress in the days to come.  In the meantime, I’m learning the breathe…Breathe in (1-2-3), Breathe out (1-2-3-4-5)…..more to come.
