Morning Meditation
If you are anything like me, when you wake up in the morning you instantly start thinking about all of the things that you would like to do. If you are an A type personality, I suggest writing down your plan for the day in order to ground and release it so that you can focus on meditating instead of all of the things that you want to do. Even when your to-do list is exciting, the racing momentum of energy still places stress and imbalance on your heart. I find myself saying that if the stress is positive, such as excitement, it is healthy. But this is incorrect. Try to release all stress from your heart during your meditation and throughout the day whether it is positive or negative. Relax, find your balanced state of neutrality and know that you can be happy no matter what you are doing.
The amount of time that you choose to meditate is up to you and your schedule. The most import thing is regularity. Therefore, if you are pressed for time only meditate for five minutes and then do your morning intentions for another five minutes. This way you will keep positive consistency in your life which is the most important way to love yourself. Remaining consistent will also help you to trust yourself. And when you trust yourself you can also trust others. If you have more time, try to meditate for thirty minutes or more each day. Or spread out the time in one day and meditate three times.
The following is a “do-nothing” type of meditation which I believe is the most important kind. It is a clearing and relaxing of the body, mind and spirit. We are such an action oriented society that it is extremely important to relax as you are becoming more aware of your Self. This meditation will show you where you are holding tension and teach you to find your center. This will dramatically improve your health and align your intentions. It will make you a creator of life instead of a recipient of whatever comes your way. If you cannot relax your body and mind long enough to meditate each day then you probably have some pretty serious problems with health, finances, relationships or all three. Make meditation part of your daily life and earn your self-respect. This is the only respect necessary in order for you to blossom.

Robin:
Thanks so much for these important suggestions. As global issues continue to become more intense and as our country becomes ever more polarized, I think it’s important for each of us to find ways to release stress and center our minds, so as not to get swept up in the negativity of mass consciousness. Thank you for your work and contribution to ease and light.
