I wish there was a big on/off switch for the mind, but unfortunately there isn't.Or is there????If you actively watch your thoughts, your mind seems to become self conscious and will silence itself. Then it's your turn to notice the stillness and the profound silence. But you have to be vigilant and listen very carefully for the very next thought.You have to watch your thoughts like you're listening to someone else talking. As soon as you view it like someone else, you start to gain power over it.Silence your thoughts by listening very carefully to your thoughts and the experience the profound silence with this meditation.Let me be fair, it's not an easy meditation to do. Being vigilant to your thoughts and remaining separate from the conversation is very tricky and does take a lot of practice. So be gentle with yourself. Don't get upset and don't start a conversation with yourself.The homework is to try and continue to notice the silence and observe your thoughts as you go about your evening and weekend. Just whenever you notice your mind talking, step back from the thoughts and listen to them like you're listening to someone else, and see how quickly you can silence your mind.Have an awesome weekend my friends.MatIf you're serious about silencing your mind, check out my little book, "Understanding Happiness ~ Pocket Companion Workbook".

Wow what a rush.We've been working through our Chakras one by one and finally we got to work on our Crown Chakra. This is the most sacred of all and connects you directly to the universe.It's responsible for profound experiences and spiritual awakenings. When all the Chakras are aligned and in balance and you ground yourself properly, turning your attention to the Crown Chakra can blast open that doorway into a space that is so unimaginably beautiful and full of love. It's like being given a giant hug by the universe and told that everything is OK.So, to start the Crown Chakra meditation, we will start as we always do and spend time grounding ourselves and feeling that connection with the earth. We then relax all of our muscles using our skeleton, posture and balance to sit rather than relying on muscle power.We then breathe for a little while to relax and calm the body before finally turning our attention to the Crown Chakra.We imagine a small purple flame hovering just a few inches above our head. Flickering gently. Unlike the other chakras, we don't try to grown the flame or make it more intense. We just simply watch the flame as it moves gently.This is like waiting patiently at the doorway of the universe. If the universe sees you looking at the doorway, she may decide to open it for you to sneak a peek.Keep trying, it's so amazing and transformative. You will never be the same again once you've witnessed the intense love and bliss that exists on the other side.But remember, all of your chakras have to be in balance before this doorway will open for you, so make sure you do the groundwork first.Good luck my friends.MatIf you're serious about silencing your mind, check out my little book, "Understanding Happiness ~ Pocket Companion Workbook".
