Howdy Folks
There is a benefit to living in the woods away from people. It gives more time to think and the mind is not cluttered with useless information.
Walking in the mountains among the trees and streams allows the body and mind to relax. When we relax the mind, we lower the brain frequency which gives more power to our thoughts. This is the Alpha brain frequency and has been called ‘mediation’ for centuries.
This is good time to think of what we want our life to be like.
I have no formal method of mediation except when leading the class in a relaxation exercise with a Native American drum. This is something I learned in Shaman training and it is a good way to help people relax and focus their mind. It also helps to expand their imagination and create positive realities.
It worked so well that I recorded it and gave it a title ‘Healing Journey’ and it is available at www.raymongrace.us
Einstein is reported to have said, “imagination is more important than knowledge.’ In the November newsletter I quoted him saying, 'Energy follows thought.’
These two statements mean we can use our imagination to create our own future.
The truth is, we have likely created our present conditions by our thoughts and actions. If our life isn’t the way we want it, we can change it. Not likely anyone will do it for us.
So how do we do it? Get outside in nature. I realize that many people live in cities and it's the only world they know. But most cities have parks where you can be away from the crowd and noise and TV. So~~ go to parks or wherever you can get away from people. Feel the wind and snow as well as rain and sunshine~~ depending on where you live.
Energy is contagious. If you are around people who argue and complain, you are affected by them. STAY AWAY FROM THIS TYPE OF PEOPLE.
NO company is better than bad company.
When talking to clients by phone or Skype, I will not listen to them complain. My first question to them is. ‘How can I help you?’
If they start with a list of complaints, I say. 'You have one more chance to tell me how I can help you. If you can’’t do that, the conversation is over.’
This is not the most diplomatic way to conduct business ~~but it is effective. I have protected myself from their negativity and helped them focus on what they want, rather than what they don’t want. And this is the first rule of SUCCESS
When you get up in the morning, instead of worrying about all the things that can go wrong~~ think of all the things that can go right.
How you perceive life determines whether you are a WINNER or loser ~~the choice is YOURS.
Hope you enjoy the Holidays
