Since February is love month I decided to dedicate the whole month to practicing meditation for the next 29 days. My focus for each meditation will consist of all things love. I’ll be using the Deepak Chopra meditation phone app “Living in Love”, the meditations and music will be random for 30 minutes a day. I’ll be pulling an angel card after each session to see what topic I will focus on for that day. The intention of this practice is to learn to love myself first from the inside out. This will help me open my heart to others and be more loving and heart centred. I hope to create a more loving vibe that will attract only the right people, the ones who really belong in my life. I say this all the time but love is everywhere and it’s all around. You just have to know where to look to find it.
Meditation is not always easy, as my mind tends to drift or my thoughts try to cloud my brain. Sometimes it’s very hard to shut off that outside clutter or even the inside chatter. But I am determined. For me if I want something to work, I have to make notes or journal my progress. So far so good. As I round out week 1 it is becoming a lot easier to set aside 30 minutes a day to meditate. So with the topic Love in mind here’s what my first week looked like.
Day 1 Topic – Love in all things
Music – The gifts of love
Angel Card – Forgiveness
Day 2 Topic – Releasing the past
Music – Free to be Joyous
Angel Card – Understanding
Day 3 Topic – Your heart’s energy
Music – A grateful heart
Angel Card – Delight
Day 4 Topic – Honoring your true self
Music – Just the way I am
Angel Card – Inspiration
Day 5 Topic – Finding release through rituals
Music – Joy
Angel Card – Beauty
Day 6 Topic – Gratefulness
Music – Dawn
Angel Card – Freedom
It’s like anything you practice, if you keep doing it you’ll get better at it. I’m not good at meditating on my own. That’s why I think this phone app is really great. I don’t need to think too much. All I need is to listen to the words. I also like the pulling of the angel cards after the session because it really helps me focus on certain things in my life.
Now that I have been meditating more regularly I am noticing how more aligned I have become with the universe. Things that I think about all of a sudden appear or happen. Coincidences seem to be happening a lot more often. People that I think about message me or randomly I bump into on the street. I catch myself saying “Oh my God that’s so crazy!” whenever something that I think about suddenly becomes real life. Not everyone meditates or even understands how to do it. I’m not even sure if I’m doing it right. I focus on my breath and let the beautiful music and soft spoken words take me away. But I do know how I feel after. I am calmer. I feel more at peace within my mind and body. I sleep better. My dreams are more vivid. I don’t get upset easily or angry. I’m learning to just let go of things that aren’t in my control. I’m less judgemental towards others. I am not bothered by negative people or situations. I am learning how to be patient. I really am learning how to love myself more and really adore the ones who truly love me in return. I can honestly say I feel “Confidently beautiful with a heart” as Pia Wurtzback Miss Philippines aka Miss Universe would say. I’m looking forward to what and how the next few weeks will make me feel. Share the love and you share the vibe.
One love.
