Experiencing the Mystical - 4/2/08

Connecting with the MYSTICAL

Achieving communion, identity with, or conscious awareness of ultimate reality,
divinity, spiritual truth, or God through direct experience, intuition or insight.
Reaching a state of return or re-integration with the Godhead.
Purpose of the mystical practices is to achieve the oneness in experience,
to achieve a larger identity and re-identify with the all that is.
Union of the individual human soul with the Godhead.
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

After returning from Maui and my experience with the KunLun Bliss and revisiting the plant essences of the Scents of Knowing, I found my daily practice reminding me how all of my life that I have been pulled to experience the Mystical.   

My current practices continue to awaken these mystical experiences.  I am discovering the many ways (all without substances) to deliver me into these astounding experiences.  I would love to hear from you about your experiences, and about your doorways to the “within”.  Cynthia

BEING YOUR HIGHER SELF MEDITATION by Orin and DaBen - 3/30/08

Being Your Higher Self
Meditation by Orin and DaBen

I sit in a comfortable position
that allows me to feel relaxed.  
My spine supports me
and my body is comfortable.

If possible, I sit so that each
vertebrae of my spine is lined up,
one on top of another.
I imagine I am adding light
in-between each vertebrae,
allowing a clear flow of energy
up and down my spine.

I take a deep breath in
and surround myself with light.
I call light to myself
until I am bathed
in radiant light.

I pay attention to my breathing,
letting my breath flow
easily and gently through me.

I sit up straight and
put my shoulders in a position
that allows my chest to be open
and my heart center expanded.

I imagine I am becoming my higher self.
My mind is clear and alert.
My emotions are calm and peaceful.
Energy is flowing smoothly and
harmoniously throughout my body.
I am at peace with myself and the world.

I now receive
transmissions from my higher self
to assist me in
becoming my higher self.

I open to receive
the energy of my higher self.
I draw in its harmony, clarity, and vision.  
I imagine all the elements of my life
coming into greater harmony.
My vision is expanding.
My thoughts are clear.

I now receive from my higher self
its love, compassion, and wisdom.
My compassion is growing.  
I have more compassion for myself
and I have compassion for all living beings.

My higher self is a wise teacher
that knows no limits.
I am expanding beyond my current limits
in every area of my life
as I become my higher self.

I ask my higher self for insights,
revelations,
and expanded awareness.
I know that as I ask for these things,
I will receive them.

I ask my higher self
what I am learning from being in
a current situation.
I am open to seeing how this situation
is developing new qualities of love,
spiritual power, and wisdom within me.

I know that I will receive
answers and guidance.
I affirm that I will pay attention,
listen within,
and follow the guidance I receive.

I take a moment now
to ask my higher self
for anything else I would like.

I sit as if I am my higher self.
I breathe as if I am my higher self.
I am calm and serene,
wise and compassionate.

Today I will imagine I am my higher self,
knowing that as I imagine it,
I am creating this as my reality.

The Souls Path and Self Discovery - 3/27/08

"The soul has its own path, which unfolds according to self-discovery as an experience in itself. Just as your ability to manage external events increases with practice, so too your understanding of yourself as 'The Experiencer' grows with confidence in being who you really are. Often the most difficult challenges of Being come to pass just before the dawn of enlightenment. The soul was born in perfection, and experience can neither add nor subtract from that truth. Therefore, experience, well managed, presents a stage upon which the light of your life may shine brightly."
from "The Keys of Jeshua", Page 230, Glenda Green

Be so very gentle with yourself and others... allow it all... resist not... let it flow through as you release into every moment.  Cynthia

 
 Important to view... and thoughts about it - 3/24/08

I know that I sent this out to some of you already...Here it is again.  
You may want to watch it a few times and pass it on.

A neuro-scientist named Jill Taylor gave a short talk  at TED that was probably the most profound depiction of the "deep right brain experience".  After her talk, the vibration of the entire conference changed - people were more open, deeper, clearer. Truly remarkable. There is an essential message here for all humanity on acknowledging just how closely connected and related we all are.

http://www.microclesia.com/?p=320
 

Within the last week I had an incredible experience of being with my mother who is getting ready to make her transition.  I witnessed her moving from a place of pain, fear, anxiety and anger to a place of total loving acceptance.  As she moved into her peace and connection (I suspect into the right brain and a connection to Source), she became an amazing teacher.  Her words were unattached, loving, grateful and surrendering.  Here are some of the words that bathed our souls.
(1) “Goodbye, be happy, no crying”
(2) “Let me go”
(3) “All is happy”
(4) “Everyone is here with me”
(5) “We had a good life and a good family”
(6) “Don’t ask any questions...let me go on my journey...you go on yours
(7) “Goodbye, everything will be alright
(8) “I want to go home”

Find and nourish that environment of who you really are.  Go there now, practice being there TODAY as much as you can.  The more time spent in that “space”, the easier it is to remember, desire and to return.  Quiet your mind and then allow an organic bubbling to come to the surface with any actions.  You are already and always there...allow that “place” to surface.

Blessings~~~~Cynthia

 
Living Higher Purpose Meditation by Orin and DaBen - 3/23/08

Living in Higher Purpose
Meditation by Orin and DaBen

I relax and breathe in light.
As I breathe in light,
I feel myself
growing lighter and freer.

My breathing is lifting me higher,
filling me with light.
My energy is becoming more beautiful,
balanced,
and harmonious.

I relax my body
simply by thinking of it.
I feel the muscles throughout my body
letting go at a deep level.

As I breathe in light,
I am raising my vibration
and expanding upward
into higher dimensions of light.
As I continue to breathe in light,
my energy is taking on a finer order,
becoming more beautiful and radiant.

My heart center is opening.
I feel balanced and centered.

I know I have a higher purpose,
a reason for my being on earth.
I am ready to live in higher purpose,
and I ask for it to manifest in my life
from moment to moment.

I think now of my higher purpose,
without needing to know what it is.

I imagine holding my higher purpose
as a symbol in my hands.
I look at the beautiful, radiant symbol
of my higher purpose.

I offer my higher purpose to the oneness,
to the All-That-Is, to God,
to send light to my higher purpose.

I turn the symbol
of my higher purpose
into pure light,
like a ball of light
that I hold in my hands.

I take this ball of light,
place it on the top of my head,
and let it move slowly down
through my entire body,
bringing my higher purpose
into my mind,
into my emotions,
and into the cells of my body.

I harmonize
every part of my being
with my higher purpose.

I imagine that I am like a bird,
flying higher and higher,
toward a beautiful and more radiant light.
I am flying in the stream of higher will,
which always leads me upward into the light.
It is the light of evolution.

I open to new insights and awareness
of how to live in higher purpose.
I now have clarity
from moment to moment
and about which actions to take
that bring me closer
to living in higher purpose.

I am now living in the stream of light
of the Higher Will
that draws me upward into the light
with every action I take,
with every thought I think,
and with every word I say.

I reflect now upon
my higher purpose for today.
I now know
and carry out
my higher purpose today.

I am living my higher purpose.

Enlightenment Meditation by Orin and DaBen - 3/16/08

Enlightenment
Meditation by Orin and DaBen

I take a moment to adjust my posture
and to sit in a comfortable position.
I relax my jaw
and the muscles around my eyes.

I release any tension
in my arms and shoulders.
As I relax my body
I feel more peaceful, aware,
and in touch with my inner being.

I take a few deep breaths in,
relaxing at an even deeper level as I do.

My soul and higher self join me now.
They transmit light to me.
I open to receive light and energy
coming from my higher self and soul

I let their light come down
through the top of my head,
through my spiritual center,
called my "head" or "crown center."
My soul and higher self
are transmitting energy to me
to awaken my head center.

I allow the light to
flow from my head center
into my mind and brain,
stimulating my mind to higher ideas
and my brain to awaken
the genius capacity within me.

Light from my soul and higher self
is now flowing into my third eye,
my sixth chakra
located between my eyebrows.

I allow my inner vision to grow clearer.
The veils of illusion are lifting.
My capacity to see and to
know truth is expanding.
I am awakening to the unlimited being I am.

I receive light from
my higher self and soul
into the DNA in the center of my cells,
preparing me to evolve at a cellular level.

I release any beliefs
that are standing in the way
of my spiritual growth
and enlightenment.

I embrace those thoughts
and beliefs
that lead me toward
my path of enlightenment,
knowing that as I become enlightened
I am able to be of
greater service to humanity.

I now believe that I
can become enlightened in this lifetime.
I believe I can grow through joy
rather than through struggle.
I believe I can grow easily
and instantly.

I focus on my spiritual growth.
I know that energy
spent on my spiritual growth
comes back to me multiplied.

I now make a commitment
to my spiritual growth.
I make it a priority in my life.

Everything I do is
an opportunity to grow spiritually,
to spread love,
and to make a contribution.

Every activity I do
is a chance to be more conscious,
aware,
and focused in the present moment.

Every action I take
provides me with an opportunity
to put light, harmony, order, and love
into the universe around me.

Every event that happens
provides me
with an opportunity
to act in the highest way
I have ever acted
and occurs to
bring out the best in me.

I affirm that I will reach
my highest potential in this lifetime.

Total Acceptance of Yourself brings

live in “this moment”.  

WE  are preparing ourselves to invite YOU to join us.  We would love to support YOU in getting free (bust loose from all illusions) and allow the BLISS to flow.

You are the Source Meditation by Orin and DaBen - 3/9/08

Picture of a white moose taken in Northern Idaho last month by friend.
Be open to find that which will delight you, and find it.

You Are the Source
Meditation by Orin and DaBen

As I breathe in,
I relax my body.
I am growing calm and peaceful.
My mind is clear and alert.

I let go of any thoughts of the day,
and let myself be present in the moment,
my point of power.

I now affirm,
"I am the source of my abundance."

"I can create whatever I want."

"I have everything within me to
create what I want."

I think of something
I wanted that I got.
I recall my positive thoughts
and inner knowing that
I could create this.

I know that my thoughts,
pictures, feelings, and my intention
create what I want.

I now think of something
I want to create.
I now link with
the unlimited abundance of my
higher self and soul.
I open to receive the unlimited riches
of the universe.

I picture this thing or event
coming to me,
even better than I have imagined.
I believe in my ability to create
what I want as I link with my
soul, my higher self, and
with the abundant universe
I am a part of.

I draw this to me
through following my joy,
through listening to my inner thoughts,
and through holding
positive pictures of my receiving this.

I am the source of my abundance
through my ability to link with my soul
and higher self,
through my ability to picture and imagine,
and through my trust in the universe
and in myself.

THE POWER OF APPRECIATION - 3/6/08

I have spent the last four days on construction sites in El Paso talking to worker after worker that were speaking of their gratitude that a company would care enough to to have a program that connects with them daily, and gives them information that improves their lives and teaches them to be more safe.  They are excited to report that they are learning to deal with stress, listen within to eat in a way that gives them more health and energy, and to have information that they can take home to their families.  

Every day our team was up between 4am and 5am to joyfully connect with these wonderful people that construct our building, roads, etc.. All that we so take for granted.  
 

I invite you in the next few days to look around and see all that has been created by others that help make your life work.  Your electricity, your water, the house you live in, the food you purchase, the roads you drive on, the restaurants, the hospitals, the car you drive in or the public transportation you enjoy, the movies, the caregivers, the gas stations and attendants, etc., etc., etc..

Open your heart and say THANK YOU...whenever you can remember.

Cynthia

 
 I Choose Joy Meditation by Orin and DaBen - 3/2/08

I Choose Joy
Meditation by Orin and DaBen

I choose the path of joy.
I am now willing to release struggle,
and embrace the path of joy.

I relax my body.
I bring relaxation
into my face, head, and neck.
I adjust my posture
so that energy flows easily through me.

I allow my emotions
to grow quiet and calm.
My mind is now becoming serene.
I am at peace with the world.

As I breathe in, I draw in light.
As I breathe out,
I release any thoughts or feelings
I do not want.

I feel the light of my soul all around me,
embracing me with its love.
I expand into the light of my soul.

My soul sings a song of joy.
I draw my soul's joy into my being.

I draw my soul's joy into the cells of my body.

I draw my soul's joy into my emotions.

I draw my soul's joy into my thoughts.

I sound a note of joy
that reverberates throughout my being.

I think of an area of my life
in which I would like more joy.

As I think of this area of my life
I ask my soul to permeate this area
with its note of joy.

I affirm that I can release anything
in this area of my life
that does not bring me joy.

I ask my soul to assist me
in releasing any thoughts,
emotions,
attitudes,
and behaviors
that do not contribute to
my having a joyful life.

I believe that I can have joy in this
and in every area of my life.
I open to and experience joy now.

I am aware of my inner being
throughout the day.
I connect with my soul often,
and as I do,
I draw in its joy.
Joy becomes the keynote of my life.

LINKING WITH HIGHER WILL MEDITATION BY ORIN AND DABEN - 2/24/08

My soul painting done by  friend Carole Wilson
http://www.absolutearts.com/portfolios/c/carole/

Linking with Higher Will
Meditation by Orin and DaBen

I take a deep breath in
and connect with my inner self.
I let go of all my cares
and focus on expanding
my potential
for evolution and growth
as I link with the Higher Will.

I ask my Higher Self to
show me a symbol
that represents my
highest evolution for this lifetime.
I know that whatever picture
comes into my mind
will be the perfect symbol to energize
at this time.

I observe my symbol and
note what it looks like.
It may be something I recognize,
a scene, an object, animal,
or patterns of light and energy.

I now imagine I am
standing in front of this symbol.
I picture energy coming from
my Higher Self
directly into this symbol.
My symbol is filled with light.

As I observe this symbol,
I hold it up to the Higher Will.
I invite the Higher Will
to come into my symbol,
so that my path is in alignment with
the Higher Will.

I imagine placing this symbol
on top of a mountain.
I connect it to myself with a path
that stretches in front of me
all the way to the top of the mountain
where my symbol is.
This path represents my highest path
in this lifetime.

I observe this path, noticing if
it is a long, winding path,
or a steep, direct one.
I picture a path that is just right for me.

I imagine myself going joyfully
up this path
all the way to the top
of the mountain.
I am balanced and calm.
I do not let anyone or anything
pull me off this path.

I now imagine myself
at the top of the mountain.  
I congratulate myself on my
single-minded dedication to
my purpose.

I imagine how I feel as I reach
the top of the mountain,
manifest my highest potential,
and become a source of light to others.

As I stand at the top of the mountain,
I picture my symbol in front of me
radiating light and energy to me,
until every cell within me is
aligned with my spiritual growth
and higher purpose.

I bring my symbol into my heart
and merge with it completely.
Higher Will flows through me
and into my life.
It flows down into my heart center.
I surrender to the divine plan for my life.

I am linked with the Higher Will
and I am in flow with the universe.  
I unfold my highest potential
in this lifetime.
