What are the high vibrating emotions? They include love, joy and freedom. One can also feel empowerment or gratitude when feeling these feelings towards something that has happened in their life-the world will seem brighter for a moment! It's important to consciously choose which thoughts you want around yourself at all times, so it bestows us an even more positive attitude about living, as well as experiencing these awesome experiences mentally instead, if not physically too.

The sound of running water can be soothing, especially when you need to relax. White noise machines produce a constant background hiss that is distracting, but with meditation it becomes easier for your mind to focus on one thing at once, instead of having all these sounds coming from different directions vying for attention.
A dripping faucet might not seem like much, but if we take this idea further by focusing solely upon its repetitive nature—and without being distracted whatsoever—it may help us get into that perfect state known as "meditation."

Viewing the world with love is a simple and effective way to keep your thoughts positive. You can do this by viewing everything, not just specific things like people or circumstances but also activities such as eating food (which we all enjoy) or going for walks in nature; even negative emotions have something worthwhile if looked at closely enough!

Meditation is like any other exercise. You have to practice it consistently and with time, but the benefits are worth every minute you spend learning how to meditate mindfully!

If you want to be successful, it's important that your mind is in top shape. That means meditating before taking any inspired actions-and not just when stressed out or feeling exhausted from work!

With meditation comes a sense of calmness, which can help with decision-making skills. We're less likely to be put off by difficult tasks if they feel more manageable at this point, because our minds have already started processing them mentally rather than emotionally (which often leads us into impulsiveness).

When given time for reflection after acting upon an idea/planner has helped bring about desired results.

Sometimes we need to take a step back and be grateful that things are going well. Mediation can help with this process, as it creates space for you to see what is working in your life, which will allow more positive energies to flow through into other aspects, such as work or relationships outside our own selves.

Stop trying so hard! Meditation can help you make sense of your progress so far--and give you motivation for what needs to be done next!

Mediation can be a powerful tool for achieving goals. It has been shown that those who meditate regularly perform better in their jobs or school work, as opposed to people without such experience. It's also believed this might help them stay calm during stressful moments of life--a skill which could come in handy one day!

A short 15-minute session every morning will ensure you're ready when stress strikes. So try out some mediation today, before your next big project starts again.

Your emotions are a great tool to help you navigate life. They will signal when something is off, and can provide insight into what needs fixing in your life. You might also be trying to tell yourself that you need more than just your mind to work on solutions, because feelings don't always come with thoughts attached!

To get the most out of these guidance systems, let's start by noticing them, rather than ignoring or blocking those pesky messages from upstairs. Mediation may offer some additional perspectives, which could lead to finding ways for both mind AND heart-based action together.

The magic of becoming your own health advocate is when you focus on your own health, your own happiness, and your own sense of peace. No matter what's going on around you, you're going to naturally start rubbing off on your loved ones as well.

I think this is a great reminder that we all have the power to create our own happiness, and to use that to help others as well. Listening to this latest episode of the Meditation NOT Medicine Podcast with my special guest Charlotte Caunter was really insightful, and I would encourage everyone to check it out!

It's important to go easy on yourself. You did your best, so don't beat up over what you could have done better - just be mindful of the effort and acknowledge that you are doing all right despite any mistakes made along this journey!
Mediation can help with self care by helping us focus our attention where it belongs: inwardly toward ourselves instead towards others, who may bring negativity into our lives if allowed too much interiority space without control.

When you're grieving, it's hard to think about anything else. Your mind is consumed with all the what-ifs and maybes. What could I have done differently? Why did they have to go? Will I ever see them again?

These are the questions that keep us up at night, long after we've said our goodbyes. And it's natural to feel this way. Grief is a process that takes time. But there are things you can do to make the journey a little bit easier.

One of the best things you can do is focus on living in the moment. This might sound impossible when you're dealing with such a big loss, but it's important to try to find moments of joy in each day. Spend time with your friends and family, do something you love, or just take some time for yourself such as meditation.

It's also important to remember that grief is different for everyone. Don't compare yourself to others or expect to heal overnight. Grief takes time, but eventually it will get better. Read my latest blog about how living in the moment can help you get past grief today!
