Using Meditation As A Way To Stay Positive

A very big Aloha!

My name is Reverend Cindy Palos and I'd love to do a talk in meditation and I thought I'd talk about changes.

I've talked about changes before and it's a very relevant subject for me and I think a lot of people because I do feel that things have been accelerating and we certainly have seen changes in the way the economy is for people and that affects a lot of things in your life.

Basically a lot of people have been affected by where they're going to live and move,

The fires and things that have been happening and that aspect have created changes for a lot of people in the world as well.

And so we're seeing I guess opportunities and challenges,

Both opportunities and challenges,

Because anytime you make a major change it usually takes a state of mind that you have to adjust and in that state of mind you have to always try to stay positive and see the good that is happening and not the bad because you know it's a glass is half empty or half full and if you're going half empty you can go down a rabbit hole where you start looking at all the things that are wrong or you can have that positive outlook and look at all the options for things that can be very right.

And our mind is such a powerful force that depending on how we have our outlook and the way we're looking at our life influences us is a major way in how we live and I know there's a lot of things that we can do to stay positive and to realize what's most important and I find in that meditation and being centered and going within is such a valuable tool it's really a priceless valuable tool that always can help in that aspect of living because it's it's a changing world out there and how how we ride those changes and how we deal with those changes and the way we choose to look at life is really very very crucial I think in this time and space in life and and it's also important for the way you live the quality of your life as well and that's that's such a key to how is that quality of your life are you looking at something that can be looked at in your life that's positive and searching for the good or are you looking at the bad and what do you think is really not good and and I have to say that changes that are happening in the world situation have added to this situation and that stress and for a lot of people so I think it's up to us to determine it's up to you really individually determine the state of mind and your outlook on life that you wish to have you know you may have to reinforce that outlook with more positive energy and there's certainly all the keys that are there in meditation and in positive thinking and in positive affirmations to help reinforce that that you can use as tools and those tools are valuable very valuable very priceless tools that are out there so I just thought we'd kind of go into that in meditation today together here and I just love to be able to go and delve into that beautiful open field of energy that exists within all of us and we always suggest that you get comfortable and that you sit erect that you have a lovely space I like lighting a candle and I like being centered and and making it a safe space where you don't have interruptions that will be coming by the phone etc just to make a little special area that's your private area for meditation I hope you have one you can always create one and so we go into that space and you get comfortable you just breathe taking a deep breath in holding it and breathing out breathing in together here sitting with this spine erect getting comfortable and breathing out breathing all the way out clearing the air clearing the thoughts nothing to do but just to be here now breathing in holding your breath and my neck cracked of course and I breathe out with ha which is breath in Hawaiian breathing in and being aware of your body giving thanks for your body having gratitude for your body working for you so very hard and being grateful for your feet and your ankles and your lovely calf muscles and your knees and all of the beautiful work that your body and muscles doing your thighs and having gratitude for the body your base of your spine where the root chakra is that powerful root center creative force there thanking that wonderful chakra and that lovely color attached to that root chakra I like to look at it as a ruby red energizing that area and the next chakra which is so important second chakra a lot of people using this and certain meditation groups in Tibetan to look that is the core chakra there at the second chakra and also known for the feelings might have a lot of feelings there that is good to be aware of and going into the third chakra and all the energy in the body around the third chakra the whole beautiful energy field of your stomach and everything is surrounding the stomach a digestive system and a wonderful wonderful parts of your body that works so very hard for you here my gosh I mean thanks for your lungs each breath how precious is each thank you and also moving into that fourth chakra so beautiful with the heart chakra and the heart chakra to me is one of my favorite we have favorite children on my heart chakra I love because it's a love center it's that love of loves within your heart of hearts and I just am so grateful for that wonderful heart chakra and that whole energy field there and it can be bombarded by a quite a bit of stuff and feelings and a lot that you have to clarify and recognize and just give yourself a moment to do that a safe space here where you can go into your heart and see what's going on going delving deep into that heart of your heart all the love there throughout time and I've always found that I can explore that love when I express that love for someone precious in my life just allowing that love to be a healing love you can send out to someone special in your life and just send that love out unconditionally unconditional love from the highest heart of your heart and see that love spiraling out going to the heart and soul of the other person just with love and letting it come back to you a hundredfold and give yourself that same love that deep deep love for who you really are there in your heart of your heart you are a being of such beauty and love just allow that love to be present and allow the energy to flow on up to that throat chakra that create a beautiful center there so precious all that energy there in your throat also can store a lot of tension so just give it some energy and make sure it's aligned with the body and let the energy flow on up to the third eye chakra which you can see with your eyes closed colors beautiful shades a beautiful movie of energy taking place there in your third eye just gazing watching allowing that light to shine forth and let the energy flow on up to your crown chakra the top of the head just above it and beyond and shining brightly forth and let that light shine so brightly out and let yourself be surrounded by a precious wonderful radiant light a white light above you and through you and below you and to the left and the right of you front and behind you you are a radiant energy in your aura of light and you're in a safe place here so just allow that energy to be there with you we can now travel on up to that whole beautiful area of your soul energy this is the energy that's been with you and will be with you lifetime after lifetime every moment of every day your soul is present with you we very rarely call upon it but it's that inner voice that inner protection that inner light that guides you in so many precious ways so many valuable ways in your life and allow that beautiful soul energy to shine around through you and to you right now with recognition of the soul of who you really are this precious energy that connects you to the source of all light and all love that eternal light and love of the one source of all energy and you're supercharged with this energy now and allow this inspiration that is present to come to you to allow you to understand how to view your life in a positive way that is the highest good that this energy provides for you in your life trusting in this energy to be present in you through the changes in your time in your life in what you are and what you do no matter where you go you always have this energy present with you one of the most valuable gifts that you can ever even imagine is this beautiful presence of this love from the source of all love and light it's unlimited it's infinite it's timeless it's beautiful take a

slowly very slowly come back to your conscious awareness as you come into your body holding on to that beautiful thread so that you can take back from this source any thoughts any feelings any
