“Practice, Practice, Practice”
Most of us use various techniques for our daily spiritual practice and I wanted to share one with you all. I think this technique came (in an email) from Dr. Joe Dispenza a few months ago; however, I used it in the eighties, initially learning it from Walter Russell, who, in 1921, entered a 39-day trance and returned with radical ideas about quantum physics and the light energy of our universe that were ahead of their time. He wrote many books; “The Universal One” explores concepts of light energy and our mind’s role in shaping our reality.
Yes, we create our own perception of reality. What we think is what we get. What we see is what we get. What we conceive is what we achieve. I wake up in peace most of the time. I go to sleep in peace, most of the time. Not all the time, however, and spiritual practice is necessary. The world itself and an ordinary life offer so much potential for emotional and physical stress that peace can only come from deep within, with a willingness to see the bigger picture and to accept what is.
One practice goes somewhat like this: I read some notes that I have written to myself before I go to bed. Then I read some notes when I wake up in the morning. These are just a series of affirmations (and I haven’t decided on the morning ones yet). Find words that speak to your heart—they are some of the ones I read to myself at night. Reading out loud is a good way to do this. And I often change my words too.
I like the words of Buddhist wisdom that I found:
“My day is complete. I release all of this past day. I am so grateful for the gifts of this perfect day. I forgive myself and others for all intended and unintended judgments. I choose peace over suffering. Everything changes in my world; all is impermanent. My joy will fade and so will my pain. I will cling to as little as possible. May all beings be safe, may all beings be free. This is loving kindness.”
May we continue to bless each other with peace and love.
