The Importance of Prayer AND Meditation

Invocation prayer meditation serves as a powerful tool for personal transformation, enabling individuals to connect deeply with their inner selves and the greater universe. It is a practice that transcends religious boundaries, offering a means of seeking solace and clarity regardless of one's spiritual background. Engaging in prayer meditation allows you to quiet the mental chatter that often accompanies daily life, creating a sacred space for reflection and connection. This stillness can act as a balm for anxiety and depression, fostering a sense of calm that is increasingly hard to find in our fast-paced world. As you learn to embrace the stillness, you may discover insights about yourself that were previously obscured by the noise of everyday life. Here is another fast way to understand and harness an unruly mind:

UNDERSTANDING YOUR MIND LIKE A TRINITY 

A portion of our experiences operates from a negative mindset.  But this is not a true negative because this operating plane of mind helps to keep you safe.  The majority of women experience more negativity than men; again, for the safety of both self and children.  These are hardwired to help us survive.  To be alert to possible dangers.  Like any emotional track, it can go to extremes, so it is good to be aware of it if you stay stuck in chronic negativity.  Like most things in life, it has an opposite.  The positive mind.  The positive mind can also become negative if it goes to extreme positivity that isn't genuine.  We have all witnessed the Suzy Sunshine types, and as much as we love it, we sense something not quite authentic and find it hard to trust their response.  We always walk a fine line where emotions are concerned.  We want to be liked so much that we may sacrifice our integrity and not hurt anyone.  Unfortunately, we hurt 2 people when we are not sincerely responding to situations - us and them.   

Approximately every 4 seconds, your nervous system scans your body to ensure all systems are working properly.  When you find yourself feeling anxious or fearful for no outside reason, repeat to yourself "I am safe - it is only change".  Anxiousness can also be treated with prayerfulness.  Your subconscious mind has one major task, and that is to ensure your survival.  If the anxiety is chronic, be sure to talk to a good friend, especially if everything is going well in your life.  By that, I mean no obvious outside reason for your anxiety.  Always check with a nutrition consultant first - many, many emotional states are caused by insufficient nutrients.  Niacin is helpful for schizophrenia - an exaggerated state, I realize, but just one example. Read all about Niacin in Abram Hoffer's book "Orthomolecular Nutrition".  Abram Hoffer was a real pioneer in the field of true health. 

Your body likes slow and steady, so sometimes anxiety is your body's way of slowing you down. You may find solace by becoming a member at  www.lifeforceacademy.com.  In the comfort of your own home for a mere $25.00 USA a month, you can dial into an awesome resource, and I mean awesome. 

Happiness and pleasure must not be confused.  Happiness is a steady state of bliss or contentment where pleasure depends on temporary outward experiences.  When in doubt, strive to maintain a steady state of contentment no matter what is happening in your outside world.  Your soul will be your constant companion - make it a higher priority.  By that I don't mean sit and om, it is just a neutral state of calm. 

If your life should end unexpectedly, you will die peacefully.  I don't know what happens after our last breath, but for my money, I'm not taking the chance, so I make it a priority to begin and maintain every day in an imperturbable state.  If I get angry, anxious, or even super happy, I deal with it and get right back on my steady inner peace train. I drop negativity like a hot potato.  I'm not going through all these human trials and ending my life yelling "fuck you" to someone.  Believe it or not, a lot of people die angry - that's maybe why many of us are back for another round of life - to get it right.  End in love, kindness, peace.  I hold all the beauty I possibly can in my third eye.  Think of your third eye as a secret room in your mind where you can go and breathe easily.  Help your mind and body feel as though you are deep within a beautiful rain forest with the sound of waterfalls, birds, and the air is fragrant with a pure nature fragrance. Find an image that works for you.  By works, I mean it calms you and helps you take a deep, relaxing breath.  Breathwork is the tool needed to transmute the stagnation that accumulates in our minds and bodies.  That's why I recommend www.lifeforceacademy.com.  To my thinking and experiences in transmuting tension, anxiety, anger, and worry, they have the secret sauce.  PS, if you have any gut issues, then Life Force Academy is your tonic.  Sign up today and learn how to unwind the belly.     

Most people operate in either a positive mindset or a negative but with time and attention, you can create a third component of your mind, and that is what is known as the "neutral mindset".  This is a place you create with time and attention; a place you can go to when the other two are driving you crazy by flip-flopping between them, waking you up at night or simply creating unnecessary anxiety and tension.  www.lifeforceacademy.com is a resource that is so helpful, it is beyond words.  At first, it will seem hard - your mind won't be still or stay in the third eye when your instructor suggests such a notion, but with time, you will develop this tranquil place in your beingness.  I can only tell you from experience that it was a lifesaver during COVID. 

At first, I visualized a beautiful heart between my brows, and over time, amazing images popped into my consciousness, and eventually, I just came to this beautiful stillness.  Your mind will guide you - you just have to show up ready and willing to at least try.  With time, you will be able to just think the word "peace" and your mind will jump to attention.  Life Force Academy is a place to heal your unhealthy mental patterns and learn some amazing things about yourself along the way.  You will have so many aha moments, it will blow your mind in a good natural high! 

When you can't sleep or you are standing in a lineup, replay all the beautiful places, people and things you have seen and done so far or make some up if life has mistreated you so far.  You will notice you want to take a cleansing breath and even feel a sense of ah.  Many generations that came before us were never taught how to still their minds.  Meditation to some people requires too much time or too many oms or is freaking boring you can't sit still for a minute.  Some people I have met use the Wim Hof breath method to cleanse their minds and bodies.  Do whatever gets you through the night.  The Life Force Academy has combined easy hand, mouth, and body positions with breathwork and wonderful inspiration in an unbeatable combination for mind/body/spirit purification.  The transformation work they offer is designed for anyone to be able to do.  The teachers offer many alternative positions for people who need to sit in chairs or have disabilities.  Just try.  You will amaze yourself at the strength of mind/body that you gain by showing up regularly to class.  All from the comfort of home and so affordable. 

The owner-teacher Jai Dev is an example of a human being on purpose, and he makes tough stuff easy, fun, and it moves at a nice pace.  Enough said; for a mere one-dollar trial, you open the door to yourself, your potential and eternal life.  Be sure to check out the series called "Deathlessness". Overcoming the fear of death is so essential and freeing.  Many people say, "I'm not afraid of dying". Watch and learn the subtle ways you may be, but most importantly, how to overcome it and even feel confident that when your last breath is taken, you are ready to embrace whatever doors open next.  Clear, clean and on purpose, too.

The bible says, "We cannot be our brother's keeper".  I interpret that to say every one of us is here on a special mission/purpose for God.  It can be as simple as any service job or a Diplomat.  At the end of the day, we lay our heads down to just us and God as we understand God.  Consultants like me cannot do the work for you.  Our role is to guide you to resources so you can reduce the time spent seeking solutions.  We have gone before you and found an accelerated learning path, but each of us must purify our body, mind and spirit ourselves.  This levels the playing field, hopefully making the path to purification faster, affordable for most people and possible.  Becoming healthy, whole and complete should be available to all human beings, not just the wealthy.  Even if you cannot afford the cost of my services, by offering suggestions to other great resources, I am providing a service, and thus my job is done.  Nutrition can be a tool that supports the mind, body and spirit and must not be overlooked.  A one-time 3-hour consultation with me can assist you in setting up a healthy nutritional program, giving you the confidence that your nutrition is adequate for your current stage of life.
