Daily Routine
Did you know that everyone has a daily routine that they follow religiously? Well, actually everyone has more than one daily routine. We have lots of them. We have routines for from the time we get out of bed and get ready for work to when we come home, eat dinner and get ready for bed. We have a daily routine for how we perform our job, cooking dinner, doing the laundry and preparing for a presentation. When you really think about it, we seem to have routine for just about everything.

Routines are repetitive actions that we take day in and day out. That’s why they are called daily routines. I don’t know about you, but I used to find some of my daily routines to be very boring. My resistance was because due to my belief that I was being forced to do something, that I didn’t have a choice. Sort of like how some people work in jobs that they hate because it pays the bills, and they don’t feel they have a choice.

Yet there are other routines that I do with great joy and anticipation. Like when I am preparing a meal. Thoughts of the dish would swirl through my head. My mouth watered in anticipation at how I was going to enjoy eating the dish. So our daily routine is no longer boring or drudgery when we are doing something we like, generally with a specific purpose or intention in mind.

A daily routine is an important tool for manifestation. It helps to keep us focus on what we wish to manifest for the year. A daily routine contains aspects of all the actions that we need to take during the year in order for it to manifest. When we can almost smell, feel, and touch what we want to manifest because we are working towards our goal on a daily basis, we more forward with great excitement and anticipation. We no longer have time to be bored.

 

The Universal Law of Balance

The Universal Law of BalanceThe Universal Law of Balance is an absolute or universal truth that everything is in perfect balance with everything else. Nothing is out of balance. The universe is constantly balancing itself. Of course, the balance may not be what you wish or expect to experience, but everything is in perfect balance with everything else. It is when you try to hold onto the energy and not allow it to balance that you run into trouble.

The Universal Law of Balance is like the flow of water. When water is poured into a bowl, the water continues to swirl around in the bowl even after the pitcher has stopped pouring water. The water continues to balance itself in the bowl until everything is in balance and there is a uniform surface. After the water stops moving around, the water level in one part of the bowl is not higher than another part of the bowl. Even when the water was swirling about, the water continued to be in perfect balance.

Water naturally moves from a higher elevation to a lower elevation through the force of gravity. Water is constantly balancing itself. To restrict the flow of water moving downward, a stronger force is needed to hold it in place. Natural or artificial obstructions, such as dams, will restrict the movement of water. The natural flow of water to seek lower ground is balanced by the energy of the dam to holding it in place. But no matter how strong the dam, after a period of time (be it years or centuries), the dam will eventually fall apart from the constant force of the water against it; and the water will continue on its merry way to the sea. Everything is in balance.

Just like the dam is a restriction to the natural flow or movement of the water, your attempts to grab and to hold onto more of something is a feeble attempt to go against the natural laws. If you eat lots of junk foods or rich foods without giving your bodies a chance to dispel the toxins that you have accumulated, if you don’t take care of your body, the balance at the opposite end of your actions can include obesity, heart disease, grout, diabetics, etc. If you try to grab and horde as much money as possible, you may be sacrificing the health and relationships of yourself and your loved ones. Everything remains in balance.

Since everything is always in balance, what type of balance do you wish to experience in your life? Just like eating or drinking too much of anything, holding onto too many possessions, or doing anything to the extreme is not good for you. It is important to keep everything that you do in balance. Leading a balanced and healthy life can give you the experiences that you desire. What type of balance are you experiencing in your life?

 

 

 

The Path to Self Realization

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — admin @ 3:24 pm

I have spent most of my life looking somewhere “out there” for something that would change my experience of life “in here”, inside of me. Although I have lived a full and rich life up to this point, I have often wondered if perhaps I was missing something. What had driven me to do the things that I do? Why has my life turned out the way that it has? Although I am doing the things that I want to do, why do I feel unfulfilled? I had made the choices and taken the actions that I believed would give me the experiences that I wanted, and yet my actual experiences were not what I had expected. Something was not quite right. What was it I wondered?

In asking these questions, I reflected on my life and realized that the choices I made had specific consequences. Some of these consequences were known to me while others were not. However, one common thread that appeared in all of them was the fact that I had made my choices based on my beliefs. Beliefs are the colored lenses that we used to filter our experiences of the real world. Beliefs are things that we believe to be the true, but in reality they are based on lies. My beliefs had nothing to do with reality, they were just my interpretations of my experiences.

Upon further reflection, I realized that I had created my beliefs to rationalize my experiences of my life and the world around me. I had created exactly the experiences that I had desired in my life. I was responsible for my experiences and no one else. I could no longer make excuses that life was not fair, it was karma, the world was against me, I never got what I really wanted, it’s all hopeless, and I was helpless to change it.

The first step in the path towards self-realization is to acknowledge that I am the only person responsible for my own experiences. Sometimes it’s a bitter pill to swallow, especially when I’m knee deep in the muck that I had created. Just like an alcoholic or a drug addict in rehab, the first step is to accept responsibility for my own actions. That is the first step in the path towards self realization. By realizing that I was responsible for my own experiences, I could take control of my life and to create the life experiences that I desired.
