This Creative Life

Poetic Healing

Discipline,
A sign of destruction or denial?
Or rather the decadence of a man
Who cannot move forward,
Displaying doubt

And yet, when imagination takes root
In the dying wasteland of order,
Like a disease of chaos slowly creeping through,
Destroying all in its path with disorder and disarray,
Its only casualty the destruction of the mind which cries,
“Only THIS way”
And brings forth the great deity which anoints me
To this creative life

Daily Bliss – December 3

Daily Bliss

The Angels remind us that our creative flow requires both discipline and blissful ambiguity, tenacity and the willingness to let go and trust. In the flow, we find both our grounding and our wings.

Meditation Has a Secret: 5 Questions to Consider

Musings, Wellness Universe

Meditation-Has-a-Secret-5-Questions-to-Consider-by-Ashley-Barnes-TheWellnessUniverse-WUVIP-Secret
Meditation has a secret.

It doesn’t work for everyone (GASP!).

Of course, this isn’t what we’re told about this powerful, ancient practice. The list of amazing meditation benefits for mind, body, and spirit are practically endless (and easy to Google). Need to get more grounded and focused? Stressed out? Experiencing pain? Want to connect to your inner guidance? Meditation is the cure for all your ills.

But if you ask the average person, they’ll tell you (likely in great detail) the TRUTH about meditation; how they can’t sit still or quiet their mind, they can’t fit it into their day, or they tried it and didn’t like it or didn’t get any effect.

It could even be said that meditation benefits all people, but not all people benefit from meditation. 

The true dirty secret of meditation involves the pressure we feel to always be doing something, and to do it as a means to an end, which creates for us a meditation practice that is more like a checklist than personal development. In turn, this can lead to some pretty undesirable outcomes.
