With all the TV, telephones, i-pods and computers its hard to stay connected to Spirit. I wish I could say just wave a magic wand, but that is not the case. Its work, but its fun work. First the Television we have is very small, I do not get cable and I keep the TV covered. For the most part I go on the computer in the early AM before the kids get up. Music for us is not something you shove in your ear and tune out the world. The world is full of music...right now at this very moment a Catbird is outside my window, in the distance I can here a Cardinal calling to its mate. I take my children outside everyday, the only time I do not is when its lightning or the weather is just too bad. I also meditate with my children and have made up games for them that stimulate higher thinking and bring in the law of attraction. We read uplifting, inspiring books. And are really big Harry Potter fans and we home school...so we have Divination classes. Each of us has a special box full of tarot cards, ruins, dream diaries, maps of our hands, drawings of our animal totems, "who I really am" scrap book, and a three-ring binder to keep all our notes in. I try to keep my children away from synthetic overstimulation, such as foods, crowded gatherings (usually have a me first vibration) and high populace areas. We also have special reminders in our home to stay connected, some are very obvious like stones, crystals and wands. And others are trinkets and symbols that when we see them they remind us to stay centered. If I notice one of us is getting moody, we head to the outdoors barefoot and work in the gardens, go to a spiritual place, go for a hike or go bike riding. Touching the earth with your body is the best thing to stay in tuned spiritually. So take those shoes off and go roaming around your yard. Totem Meditation 02/27/2009
![]() Doing a Totem Animal meditation is easier than you think. Find a quite space and time. I prefer at night before I go to bed. This enhances my dream state and though nothing may happen during meditation it may happen in your dream. (see my Animal Totem at my web sight www.forrestdweller.com for details). Make sure you are comfortable work out any kinks, itches or pinches. Breath deeply letting your belly fill with breath then let it out slowly from your chest out your nose. Very slowly. You should start to feel a sensation in your third eye. On your forehead between your eyes. This means its open. Then focus on the third eye, you may see light, you may not. Just allow and focus on the third eye. Now while keeping your attention on the third eye area start putting a request out that you want to know your Totem Animal. Stay in this state for as long as you want but at least fifteen minutes. Nothing may come but start being aware in your waking state of signs and symbols of your animal. Also note your dreams. Have fun with this! A Totem Animal is one that stays with you all your life. Others will come and go but your Totem Animal is a deep connection. |
