This moment ...

Today I spent a beautiful afternoon with my beloved friend Sarah. She had been finding it a little hard to fall into meditation due to situations and surroundings and as a result was blocking the gentle unfolding of her future.

We sat together in a sacred circle and I assisted to her to reach a place that has become essential to my daily living - inner peace.

It was a magical moment, when she opened her blue eyes as she had found that part of her that knows and is peace. A Master of Peace.

I wish to share those words with you, read them until you know them off by heart and take this practice into your daily life. Allow it to to assist you to remain centered and in alignment with your Higher Self. Use it often for the gifts it will bring to you are worth all the stars in the Heavens and more ....

For the first time find a place where you are comfortable and will not be interrupted, it does not have to be silent as noise will not be of any consequence to you but will assist you to reach this space within.


Focus on your breathing, following the breath in and out, in and out, allowing your body to relax.

Now focus on the sounds outside of where you are resting - as you hear a sound, label it and then let it go - ie, traffic, sirens, flying aircraft, birds, television, conversations ...

Now focus on the sounds within the room you are in or garden - a ticking clock, heating, the breeze ...

Now focus on the area around your body, the sound of your breath.

Now focus on the sound of your heart, feel it, hear it ...

Now focus on the other sounds within your body - the lungs as they pump the breath in and out, the blood rushing through your veins, the digestion of your stomach ..

Now allowing your body to guide you to a place within - an inner glow, a sense of stillness -

Nothing ness ... Rest here a while, this is YOU, the core of who you are.

Allow answers to come, allow what is just to simply be.

Now focus on the breath.

Now be aware of the surrounding sounds, be aware of who you are, where you are - you are this moment.

When I got home I was flicking through a book thinking of my friend and this page fell open -

Relax into the present moment. Do what you need to do in the present moment. Yours is not to worry about that which we call the future. That does not mean that you do not consider the consequences of each of your choices. Taking into account the consequences of your decisions is responsible choice. It means to create strongly in the present moment. Do not lose power over the what-ifs of your life. These are unlimited and endless. Keep your power in the now, in present time. Keep your power just in the day that you are living on the earth, and not on how to maneuver tomorrow.
