Well, I am really excited to share today’s meditation with you. I am also really quite surprised by my reaction to it. I must have really connected with it for some reason because within moments of the actual song beginning, tears began to stream down my face! WOW, right? </p> <p>Now, this video might not affect you the same way. I’m sure we each connect differently to different experiences depending on where we are in our lives. But, this one…really got to me…in a very good way.</p> <p>Enjoy!</p> <p><a href="http://youtu.be/MZhh_QzKa8A" target="_blank">Medicine Song Woman ~ CLICK HERE</a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRaUzCUxDfgjK2QWLTzJ2JlxynJd0Km6LojUy1M4PYXbukX6-Jn7rl9Iqc8Uq4R3WtNTBtcfq6ZpRC3fwIvhgx6D98KadNxhzRwj9GK70FJRUWiVHBn3Ek1RnosUpgbrCdxS-X8nmEGdG5/s1600-h/ONEc%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="ONEc" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="ONEc" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcILcE32VP2M5UCckANTNMlCiufpeksTivcABJdxrYCApjiY9scio1SffuqqToUfZV7_80P7pkJ9IrsFg31XP5YxXZWmoiM-ZGXTjXrPDPRmekt1HrBc4JWi49cPF3MpgHq3m-dN3hkNTr/?imgmax=800" width="480" height="240"></a></p> shell-rose creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16851329179436963606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956748926025796209.post-54788447160655571852015-01-19T15:10:00.001-08:002015-01-19T15:10:20.228-08:00Days 16, 17, 18, 19.

I did my meditation today! Whoop woop! What’s all the cheering about? Well, I went to bed with a migraine, woke up with a worse migraine, but I did do my meditation this morning and went for a walk afterwards. Thanks to my Mom’s strong coffee, I’m feeling much better. She came by with that and some aspirin, so we listened to the meditation together. It was nice to experience it together and then talk about it afterwards. </p> <p>We really liked this one.

Grrrrrr! I just realized I forgot to post yesterday. *sigh* This doesn’t come easy for me, can you tell?<br />
hahaha…I did try, though. I went to watch a meditation video, it wasn’t loading. SO, I restarted my computer…and forgot to come back!<br />
Anyway, I did do my meditation this morning. Here’s the one I picked. It’s for motivation. Now, I’m so motivated, I’m going for a walk and then getting some household chores done before heading into the studio to work on some book illustrations. <br />
Enjoy! (and if you want to discuss any of these meditations, maybe it’s best to come to my Facebook page. I’ve been told that some people have tried to comment here but I never saw the comments.)<br />

I missed yesterday’s meditation altogether. So, today I figured I’d find a longer one to make up for it. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-winkingsmile" style="border-top-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-left-style: none" alt="Winking smile" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-EQsppfqHgBw/VLMEsdBsk4I/AAAAAAAAGaM/5ZSx_OJLgKQ/wlEmoticon-winkingsmile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800"></p> <p> </p> <p>I have gotten some wonderful feedback both here and on Facebook regarding this inner journey. It makes me happy to know I am connecting with others in some way. I’d love to hear from you if you have thoughts about these meditation videos. Are you giving it a try? Is it difficult for you? I think a common concern is the constant barrage of thoughts that come to mind when we are trying to clear our minds. Is that happening to you, too?</p> <p>One of my hurdles is that I am not a regimented person in the least bit. I really go with the flow…and it tends to send me adrift very frequently. This has its advantages. I am flexible and adaptable. But, sticking with a routine would help me to accomplish more and focus my energy so that I can choose my direction. </p> <p>Yesterday was a reminder of where I’m coming from. Today, I’m recognizing it. Tomorrow, I plan to choose my direction very deliberately. . </p> <p>Do you tend to be like me? Or, are you the opposite? Either way, I think the meditations can help us to find common ground. Don’t you?</p> <p>OK, here’s the meditation for today.

Here I go again, sliding in here at the last minute…actually I have about half an hour before the clock strikes midnight. So, of course, the theme of this meditation will be another which says it is for Deep sleep and healing.<br />
I actually just got done listening to this one on my phone as I relaxed on the couch until the battery went dead. I’m not ready for bed yet. Too much left to do around here. But, I think this would be very soothing when I am ready to hit the hay.<br />
<br />
I hope you like it. Let me know if you think it helps you.<br />

Day 4 of my ONE resolution<p>…and I almost missed it!</p> <p>I woke up with a horrible cough...and an ailing doggy. So, my morning was a bit of an obstacle course. Then I ran errands all day and only now realized at nearly 9 p.m. that I didn’t do my daily meditation. </p> <p>This might work out to be a good experiment, though. I have chosen a meditation for restful sleep and healing. Sounds like a good idea right about now!

Here’s our meditation for the day.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://youtu.be/IYhksvOV_vM" target="_blank">Click here - Free Healing Meditation from Deepak Chopra by NPo…:</a><br />
<br />
I’m still hoping to work toward a regular schedule for these. However, my schedule is currently in flux. Part of this is due to the fact that Dear Hubby has another vacation day.<br />
<br />
This means I’m not alone. It also means I had to be brave because I figured he would tease me about this. You see, he’s kind of like a big, grumpy bear. He’s rough on the outside, but with enough cajoling…I am wondering if I can actually get HIM to meditate! So, I took a deep breath, turned down the volume on his Zombie marathon, and asked him if I could just listen to my video for a few minutes without interruption. HAH! I had a captive audience. Our heater hasn’t kicked on yet, so he was bound by his warm spot on the couch!<br />
<br />
It was hard for me to focus at times. I kept wondering what he was thinking. I peeped an eye open to see that he was fiddling with his phone. That’s Okay. At least he was there and afterward I was able to say, “See, that wasn’t so bad, was it?”<br />
<br />
I offered up the idea that he could really benefit from it, too. It might help his blood pressure. I told him that it has been scientifically proven to do so. (Of course, I may have to prove that in writing.) So, I suggested he try it before work every day. He flat out refused. Then I suggested we just listen together on weekends. He still refused…but with less vigor.<br />
<br />
So, there you have it. A challenge within a challenge for me. Follow along to see if I can get my surly, burly man to join us on this inner journey!<br />
<br />
(By the way, I never really was able to feel or hear my heartbeat. Could you?)<br />

<br />
On this very first day, of this wonderful new year, my plan was to go on a hike up the local mountain with a group of people to watch the sun rise and begin the journey into 2015 on the right foot. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
I wondered how I would fit the meditation into my plan. I know it takes me a lot longer than everyone else to make the trip up to the summit and back. Trying to wake up early enough to do it before the hike was…well…out of the question! haha</blockquote>
<blockquote>
As it turns out, I didn’t have to make that decision, but am still learning that this ONE resolution is not going to be easy. Life happens. Distractions happen. Tonsillitis happens. So, no hike for me today. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
You’d think that staying home with a sore throat would have made it easier to start this meditation thing. However, I slept in and when I got up, Dear Hubby was already happily switching back and forth between marathons of Twilight Zone and Walking Dead. Hmph. Onward to find a different location. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
So, I came to the computer room. Found this video about the basics of meditation and later I will add another video to begin the process. Check back if you can. Also, if you have trouble leaving comments or contacting me here, feel free to come to my Facebook page to join the discussion. I’d truly love to hear from you! </blockquote>
<blockquote>
What do you think of this information on how to meditate in the link below? Do you think it is simple enough? Do you like the visuals? Do you think it might hinder you to have to conform to these steps or do you like the structure it provides?</blockquote>

If you are like me, the space between Christmas and New Year’s Day is a surreal time. I would always sit and wonder where the year went. I would think about the long list of resolutions I made during this time last year. I’d feel sad that I failed most, if not all, of them. Yet, once again, I am hopeful. I anticipate a fresh start…with cautious optimism. For looming in the back of my mind are all of those resolutions I really wanted to commit to, and still want to accomplish. I had this same optimism when I made the same resolutions the previous year…and the year before…and the years before that. I found, however, that with each year of what I perceived as failures, my optimism grew increasingly cautious…less bold and bright. <br />
So, would you be impressed if I told you that this year I only have ONE resolution? Does that mean I was successful in keeping ALL of those promises to myself from the previous year? NOPE. It means I have made an attitude adjustment and I’m really excited about it! <br />
I want to share this resolution with all of you and I hope you can connect with it, adopt it as your own, and share feedback of how it makes you feel throughout the coming year. Ready for it? …………..DRUMROLL please………..<br />
My ONE and ONLY resolution for the year 2015 is to meditate every morning. <br />
Here’s my thought process:<br />
Years ago, I used to listen to soothing music during my pregnancy and practice relaxing for a set period of time each day. I didn’t really know any specific meditation techniques. But I did know that it was really good for me. After giving birth, I “didn’t have time for that anymore.” Now I realize, I needed it more than ever! <br />
So, I’m going to give myself that gift once again. This time I choose to embrace it and not let go. I will make that time each morning a priority. Perhaps if I am centered, more balanced, with a calm mind, maybe everything else I want to accomplish will fall into place or the path to achieving them will be more clear. <br />
So, every day, I am going to explore the internet and choose a meditation video to share on my blog. It will be just a random choice without even previewing it. How fun to reach into the grab-bag of knowledge and see what I might get! I would also love to hear from you about meditations you like so that I might learn and share. I’m sure some of them will be more helpful than others to different people at different times. I think it will be fun to discuss how each of us is affected, with our different personalities and situations. Will we find a common thread? Can we use this to lift each other up and share our success? YES!<br />
ONE day at a time. ONE step at a time. One resolution!<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">Good morning. Last night, in the wee hours, I finished a little watercolor painting which was inspired by a camping trip we took last year. We had never been to this particular campground…and it was my idea to go there. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">I thought I would never hear the end of it as we tried to reach our destination. The road was narrow, curvy and steep with few guardrails and the edge of the cliff at our side. Huge septic trucks came barreling down toward us several times and Hubby had to veer cautiously, yet quickly to the grassy edge of the road….I thought we were going over the edge more than once! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">There were a few mishaps once we got there. The site I had paid for online was too small for our tent. The bathrooms were far away. And….we didn’t have to worry about bears so much as we did wild hogs and mountain lions! They even had special hog proof boxes for our ice chest! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">After we settled in, we began to appreciate where we were. We have never been to a campground with so much wildlife. An owl hooted softly over our tent all night long.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">In the morning, before the sun came up, I had to trek to the potty. On my way back, I decided to go look over the site we originally had. It was right on the edge of a slope overlooking the oak-studded valley. As I got near the edge, I looked out at one of the most incredible things I have ever seen. Of course, I didn’t have my camera with me, so I tried to soak in the view and etch it in my mind so I might be able to paint it later. It really took my breath away and actually brought me to tears. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">My painting cannot come close the beauty I saw that morning….but I enjoyed trying. Here it is, listed at auction on Ebay. Enjoy!</span><br />

I'm adding a new "Happy New Year" message to my Solar Goddess items on Zazzle. For some reason, I can't get the image to show here. If you want a peek, just click the link under the back of the card. Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR!<br />

This stylish yet whimsical lunchbox is a reminder to let your inner light shine, each and every day! Based on my original artwork, I hope this item will brighten up your day. The sun face is from my series of paintings called the "Solar Goddess". It would make a great gift for someone who is trying to eat better on the go or maintain a healthy lifestyle. <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/let_it_shine_lunchbox-256652042599254057"> Click here to see it! </a>shell-rose creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16851329179436963606noreply@blogger.com2
