For me, overcoming my ego is a constant work in progress. In a perfect world on a perfect day my day would start with morning meditations, a jog or a swim, a walk in my garden. However, most of my mornings are filled waking up with my hair on end, scrambling to get the kids awake, dressed and ready for the day, a quick coffee and then work.
I realize how important it is to centre and become still each day. It's not always possible in a household with kids and chaos. So here's what I try to do:
My son goes to sleep at around 9-10am, When I've put him to bed, I do Reiki precepts and the Hatsurei ho meditation. The energy I envelop myself with gives me energy for the day. I also like to "feel" a real connection to the spirit world and by doing energy work I feel this the most. I then vary my meditations. I either do an energy shower or some affirmations or just sit and invite my spirit guide to sit with me. Sometimes I have a question, sometimes I just still my mind. It helps listening to music and my favorite at the moment is Compassion with Tingsha. (I am not sure which version it is, I got it from my Reiki instructor).
My affirmations which I am working on at the moment include:
- I am patience
- I am understanding
- I am learning
- I am creative
- I am good enough
- I am exactly where I am suppose to be
- I am healthy
- My mind and body is healthy
- I attract teachers into my life
For me it's a decision I have to make each day to become conscious. I've had many experiences where I experience the here and now, God, Jesus, my spirit guides - whatever you want to call them. But during a busy day these experiences tend to fade and we live in a physical dense world. I cannot lock myself in my house all day and meditate. I have to go out and deal with people, feel their energy, be careful that they don't affect my energy field and make decision based on ego or spirit.
One day I will look back on these posts and realize my soul is doing is effortlessly. For now, I am focusing on I am.
