Use OMM as a gateway to shift your energy

“Worrying is nothing more than a negative projection of the future”

The One Minute Meditation is a gateway or portal for so much that we desire.
By itself, the OMM can easily shift your energy. But sometimes we need do some heavy lifting.

For example, a few days ago I found myself lying in bed worrying about something. Yes, old habits die hard. The difference is I now know better than to stay in that place as it doesn’t serve me.

I did the One Minute Meditation (OMM) and quickly felt more relaxed. But those old thoughts wanted to creep back in. Just being centered in my body allowed me to slow down enough see that I needed to shift my thoughts. So I did the OMM again and this time I used it as a gateway to shift further.

From that more relaxed place I decided to focus on what I loved about my life. I looked around and saw my husband. He happens to be an easy target. So I went into a rampage of appreciation about him and told him about 10 – 15 things I love about him. He told me he was feeling worried and overwhelmed too. So I suggested he focus on what was great about me . (ha!) Then he told me a bunch of things he loves about me. Now we were both feeling great. Our
energy is high and we can attract more great things from this place.

Action Step:

Use the OMM to shift your energy even higher. After doing the OMM, focus on someone or something that you love – could be a family member, a pet, a friend, a mentor, yourself …

Then state aloud 10 - 15 things that you love about that person. Notice how good you feel. If that person is around, allow them to reciprocate for an extra boost of energy.

Stillness and Prosperity

There are many ways you can use the One Minute Meditation to connect with your rightful abundance. I received this prosperity prayer from Joe Vitale who received it from Will Bowen, author of A Complaint-Free World.

I suggest doing the One Minute Meditation(tm) and then read this Prosperity Affirmation aloud from a more connected space.

Here it is...

Prosperity Affirmation

(Read Aloud Every Day for 30 days)

I am the source of all wealth. I am rich with creative ideas. My mind abounds with new, original, inspired thoughts. What I have to offer is unique, and the world desires it.

My value is beyond reckoning. What the world needs and desires, I am ready to produce and give. What the world needs and desires, I recognize and fulfill. The bounty of my mind is without hindrance or limit. Nothing can stand in the way of my inspired creativeness.

The overflowing power of God life energy overcomes every obstacle, & pours out into the world, blessing & prospering everyone, & everything through me.

I radiate blessings, I radiate creativity, I radiate prosperity, I radiate loving service. I radiate Joy, Beauty, Peace,Wisdom & Power. Humanity seeks me and rewards me. I am beloved of the world.
I am wanted wherever I go.

I am appreciated. What I have to offer is greatly desired.
What I have to offer brings a rich reward. Through my vision the world is blessed. Through my clear thinking & steadfast purpose, wonderful new values come into expression.

My vision is as the vision of the mighty ones. My faith is as the faith of the undefeatable. My power to accomplish is unlimited. I, in my uttermost God Source, am all wealth, all power, all productivity. I hereby declare my financial free-dom, NOW and henceforth forever!

Stillness can help direct your life

It has been a while since I wrote. I plan to write more on stillness and introduce more ways to support you in using the One Minute Meditation(TM) in the new year. Taking time, even a minute, to be still is more important than ever.

From this place of stillness, we can hear what is important to us now -- truly important. Not what others tell us we should do, not what the email messages tell us we must do . . . I could go on and on.

From this place of quiet and stillness, you will get the inklings and whispers and signs that will direct you to what your soul wants -- follow those inklings and watch miracles unfold in your life.

No forcing, no making things happen by pushing through. That no longer works -- at least not in a way that best serves our soul, our body or our planet.

So take the time - just a minute or so -- and be still now.

Warmly,

Stacey

Welcome to the Stillness Experiment

Welcome to all who would like more stillness, peace and joy in their life.

I started this experiment for a variety of reasons. the main reason is that I personally need more structure to remind me to be quiet. And I wanted to structure to be easy to use and not take a lot of time.

I've been a student of stillness for a long time and know its benefits. And yet somehow, I still manage to get out of the habit. I will think I haven't mastered it and don't need to practice any more. But that is only my ego fooling me.

I also started this experiment because I am curious about what would be available if many people around the world were practicing stillness at the same time and for an extended period of time, such as 30 days.

You see when you are still, you are not in resistance. And when we are not in resistance with ourselves or others, what is possible in our lives and in their lives.? And even in the lives of those who do not participate because our energy is connected to others energy.

I had many reasons not to start this experiment. The biggest of which is that I have a shoulder injury/torn rotator cuff. It is very painful at times and is interfering with my sleep. So I thought to myself, how can I possibly be quiet when I am having this much pain?

And then I awakened and remembered that being still is probably the best thing I could do for myself right now. And as I re-engaged in my stillness exercises, I found I was much better able to be with my injury and indeed the pain lessened.

I imagine you have reasons to why this might not be the best time for you to be still or participate in this experiment. I encourage you to think of those reasons, as the very reason for you to participate right now. There is never a great time to do this according to our ego.

There will never be a time; a time when we have nothing going on in our lives. Stillness does not take away from what is going on in your life. Rather, it enhances your life.

You may have a concern about whether you will be able to do this regularl y---to set aside time and to remember to be quiet. for one minute every hour. I encourage you to let go of that concern. You will do what ever you do, and it will be just perfect. Haves the intent to learn from what ever you do and don't do an experiment. I don't know that I will remember or take the time to do it every hour. Even know that if my commitment. And I will notice what comes up to get in my way both inside of me and outside of me. And it will all be very interesting.

I look forward to being on this journey with you. The more the merrier. So please invite your friends to play with us. They can sign up at www.Balancedliving.com/stillness.html.

Warmly,

Stacey
