Mental Workout of the Day:

 100 Things I’m Grateful For…

Today’s process is strictly to help raise our vibrational rate so that we can allow the flow of love and appreciation to dominate our cells and allow the law of attraction to bring us more things to be grateful for, and to begin to restructure the neuron cross-bridges in our brain.

Get out a piece of paper and expect to do this process for roughly 10-20 minute. At the top of the page write, “100 Things I’m Grateful For…” and begin. You don’t have to be elaborate with what you’re grateful for but do your best to specific, such as “My ability to move my body and exercise,” rather than just “health” or “exercise.” Write until you have your 100 things to be grateful for. If you just can’t think of things to be grateful for, write as many as you can and then come back to it later in the day. This process moves your attention toward points of gratitude, and by the law of attraction, this will bring other thoughts similar to it into your awareness. Also, this will soften our vibration so that we open the door to the things we have been waiting for, and that the Almighty has been pushing into our experience.

Physical Workout of the Day:

Today will be a rest day. Take time to focus on today’s mental workout.

Mental Workout of the Day:

LOVE Medtation

Today’s process will be a practice in loving yourself. Start with your heart on your eyes closed in a comfortable seated position. This is simply because you want to be awake for the majority of this meditation and lying may cause you to fall asleep.

Place your right hand over the center of your chest where your heart is located. Place your left palm facing upward, resting on your lap. Close your eyes and feel the breath move down into your belly as you inhale. As you exhale, feel the belly fall and the rib cage simply depress. After 5-10 breaths, take your attention to where your right hand is on your heart. Focus on the warmth you feel between your hand and your chest. This is going to be your place of focus for the remainder of the meditation.

As you breath, feel the connection between your hand and heart. Affirm to yourself, “my heart is the core of my physical body and the reminder of who I am and why I am here.” This will remain your affirmation. Go as deeply as you wish with this meditation, allowing your hand to almost feel as if it is on fire with the love expressed from your heart. You can remove your hand as soon as you feel that you are finished, do not put a time limit on this meditation, it could be 2 minutes, it could be 20…just go with it. ❤

Gratitude Meditation

For today’s workout we will start by setting a timer for 15 minutes and finding a comfortable sitting position. Place your hands on your lap with your palms facing upward and close your eyes. Gently, take your awareness to the movement of your breath in and out of your nose. Do not force the breath, but rather let the breath be and let it move you. As you breathe in you will say silently to yourself, “I AM,” and as you breathe out silently say to yourself, “grateful.” Do your best to maintain this mantra for the entirety of the meditation. If thoughts come into your awareness, recognize them and then return your focus to the mantra. You may even begin to change the words and begin replacing “grateful” which is completely okay and a natural process of the meditation.

Guided Meditation…

Click this guided meditation link and open it in your browser. Often times when we begin meditating we don’t know what we are aiming to accomplish. This guided meditation will allow you to let go and simply be. It will help you to let go of the responsibility of thinking, and allow the mind to drift into a place of calm and healing. This is a very important to learn when first starting meditation, and the video attached will help you to get into the stages of letting go.

Mental Workout of the Day:

Visualizing Your Desires 

For today’s meditation we will practice putting ourselves in the place of already having achieved our desires. Seeing as that all of our realities are fully and truly just a manifestation of what is happening internally with us, we are going to aim to direct that reality into experiencing something magical.

You can set a 10 minute alarm for this or you can simply do it as long as you please. Finding either a comfortable laying or seated position, close your eyes and begin to imagine something that you have been thinking about recently, it could be a new relationship, better physical health, a better career path, but imagine yourself being in that situation. If at first this is difficult, say to yourself, “Wouldn’t it be nice if…” and follow with the desired situation until you are able to see yourself in the circumstance you are wanting. Once you are there, play with what it feels like to be in the relationship, or having the partner, or going to work at your desired career path. FEEL how wonderful it is to be living in the experience! Stay there as long as you like and/or move on to a new desired outcome. Once you feel complete, just sit or lay there for a few minutes and let it sink in to your consciousness. Feel how amazing it is to be living such a life. When you open your eyes, know that you have set an energetic wave in motion which is attracting the exact desires and manifestations into your life.

Mental Workout of the Day:

Today’s mental workout will be to release any thoughts period, to simply stop thought. Go outside, take off your shoes, take off your socks, stand in the grass or dirt and feel the earth against your feet. If you feel so inclined, lay down and look up at the clouds, feeling the earth supporting your frame. FEEL your body connected to the earth. By connecting with the earth, you connect your bio-rythms with the bio-rythms of the earth, attuning yourself to the same frequency as Gaia. This is often overlooked as a way of changing the cellular frequency within our bodies. By connecting our cells and atoms to the atoms of the earth, we return our bodies to the natural frequencies of our Divine well-being. Not only will this calm your mind, but this will align the atoms of our our being with that of our Mother. Stay laying, or standing until you feel that you have balanced the static you have accumulated.

Found God, Awakening

Where I Found God…

Uncategorized

Where I Found God…

I feel as if over my 28 years of living on this earth that I have searched for a lot of things. I have searched for a life partner, I have searched for the perfect career, I have searched for peace, I have searched for acceptance, but most of all I have searched for God.

Why I Wanted To Find God

You see, after having gone through 4 years of chemotherapy, full body radiation, a bone marrow transplant, and witnessing a whole lot of children, adolescents, and parents suffer I did a whole lot of searching. I searched for answers to why there is suffering, I searched for answers to why these children had to die, I searched for why any of us get sick, I asked God tirelessly for answers but he never replied to my questioning!

I asked and asked and asked. I just kept asking for answers, and my response was barren. Why wasn’t God answering me?! Was I not important enough to be answered? Was I too small and of little importance in His plan that I didn’t deserve an answer? I felt something there wanting to make it self known but I couldn’t hear it! I was scared and confused and questioning and I couldn’t hear the answers I was needing. Until at the age of 19 a friend gave me a movie…and that movie led to a book…and that book led to meditation.

Where I Found God…

As a boy I was only led to the Bible, and from my interpretation of the bible I was led to understand that God is outside me. God is a Presence, which I interpreted as an omnipotent man, that came to the earth in the form of Jesus, and that may or may not decide which individuals to communicate with. As I grew older, and where I stand now in my consciousness, I understood that my past beliefs were mistaken.

At 19 I began to meditate, and from that stillness I was led to a deeper understanding. As I searched the depths of my mind in solitude, I began to uncover hidden gems in the midst of all the chaos and chatter. In the midst of all the darkness, in the midst of all the noise, I found God.

I found God right in the core of my being. I found God at the center of my heart. I found God in me, and I found me in God. I had realized that all my questioning, all my seeking, had led me to the most secret place of all…within myself. I realized that the answers to all the questions I had been seeking were right within my grasp the whole time. The answers that seemed to evade me for so long only took a quieting of my own inner noise and they appeared in front of me.

How Does Meditation Help You Find God?

As I quieted my mind while meditating it was as if I was sinking deeper within an ocean. All the noise of my mind remained at the surface, but as I sat there still, I began to sink deeper. As I sank, I noticed my mind, active at the surface, watching the storms throw the surface yet remaining completely still. As I sank I found the peace that we so long for throughout our lives. I continued deeper, and as I did so, I had a new perspective. I realized that not only was I the surface, but I was the entire ocean.

This depth of understanding showed me that the answer was always waiting to come forth, but in getting lost on the storm at the surface I was unable to sink deeper where it was waiting to be realized.

Found God, Meditation

How Can I Find God If I’m Only Human?

As a result of meditation, I was led to more self-help and sacred religious texts than I would have ever thought I would see. As I remained still, books, people, events, circumstances flooded into my life. All the answers that I had been seeking started working their way forth. Every time I read a new book I thought, “Wow, I know this! I don’t know how I know this, but I FEEL it! Why haven’t I realized this sooner?”

What I realized mostly importantly was that all religious texts claim that we have a soul, and that that soul is an expression of the Godhead, the Divine Presence. The difficulty we continue to perpetuate is that we identify with our bodies rather than that soul. We are taught to believe we are somehow sinners, or some form of imperfection, rather than holding to the inner knowing that we are all extensions of that very Godhead we are searching so deeply for.

How Can I Hear God?

Eventually, if your searching is true, you will come to the understanding and knowing that you are a perfect extension of God. Once that becomes your truth, it is impossible not to hear God. As you live that truth, your entire life becomes a conversation with the Higher Self that is you, that is God. You talk constantly to God, asking for guidance, asking for a demonstration of connection, asking for the path, and then you realize that you need only listen to your emotions.

You begin to trust the old adage, “Trust your gut,” is the key to your conversation with God. You realize that the way you feel is your indication of your connection with God, your Self. As you speak, and ask for the answer, you instantly receive the answer in the form of an emotional response. As you think to yourself, “I miss Johnny, he was the only person I will ever love and he’ll never love me back,” and you feel bad, you recognize that God, your Soul, is telling you that your thoughts are amiss. When you have that understanding you can change your thought, “Johnny was a part of my earthly experience, and there is someone that fits me better who will love me as I love him,” and as you feel good you will know God, your Soul, is telling you that you are in harmony with Infinite truth.

How Long Does It Take To Find God?

I found God in more places than I can count. To this day I am continuing to find God, my Self, and open the depths of my heart after a decade of searching; and hopefully that searching never end. For you to find God it may take one month, one year, one decade, or even one second, but if you take the time to still your mind and sink deeper within yourself, you have already found God.

As I said earlier, it is not about looking for God anywhere outside of yourself. If you have read the entirety of this article then you realize that wholly and truly you are God! So then it becomes more about when will you find your self? When will you decide that enough is enough of refusing to accept the constant pulling of your heart for awakening? When will you decide that you are tired of searching for something that has always been yours? When will you decide that always searching outside yourself is exhausting and tireless, and that finally accepting your grace and Godhood is the answer you have always longed for?

A million may seek for God in the world, but the one who seeks his own heart is free.

All My Love,

Zach ❤

5/30/15 Workout of the Day

Health & Wellness

Today’s focus will be on the mental workout and will be a rest day.

  
Mental Workout of the Day:

Sit for 5 minutes and contemplate the vastness of the universe. Think about the fact that we, as human beings, are floating in space on a rock with nothing to hold us down other than an unseen force. Now picture yourself making this planet a better place for all inhabitants. How would you change it now that you have a broader perspective?
