Day Two Centering Thought:

Your pain, or negative emotion, is not because of your disagreement with another person.  It is always about the disagreement between you and YOU.  ~  Abraham

Love is an element which though physically unseen is as real as air or water.  It is an acting, living, moving force . . . It moves in waves and currents like those of the ocean. ~  Prentice Milford, New Thought author

Week One Processes

• Meditate:  Through time this has been the most effective practice to experience your essence, your Inner Being.  In the quieting of your mind, you can actually experience the silent witness within. We suggest fifteen minutes a day.

To experience your silent witness or Inner Being try this awareness meditation from Sally Kempton’s book, Meditation for the Love of It.  Close your eyes and take three deep, slow breaths.  Then place your attention behind your own body, so that you can see your body from every angle – from above, from below, from behind, from the front.  Notice the shift in perspective that occurs.  See if you can station yourself as that observing witness of your body seen from all sides.

Now, still holding that perspective, ask yourself, “Who or what is witnessing my body?  Who or what is witnessing my thoughts?” Don’t try to answer the question in words.  Instead let your attention turn toward the felt experience that arises in response to the question.

• Savor Clearly Aligned Moments: More often than we realize, we have times throughout the day that we pop into clear alignment between our physical and nonphysical perspectives.  We see a dramatic cloud formation, a puppy, a garden in full bloom.  Or maybe the traffic clears, or a partner speaks of appreciation for you. And then we go straight into resonance with our Source Energy.

• Think or write about:

• How does it feel?
• What is it that makes this moment feel so good?
• Revel about the details that make it feel good.

For example, you might say to yourself the following:

• Question:  I feel so warm and cozy in this room. Why is that? What makes it feel that way?
• Answer:  The colors are soft and have a warm feel to them. They just make the room feel cozy and easy to be in yet spacious. They are luscious yet relaxing. And the southern facing windows let in this wonderful light that gives a glow to the room at this time of day. Even when I’m inside I can sit and feel the warmth of the suns rays wash over me filling me with a sense of ease and wellness.
