Chaos, noise, career demands, illness, violence, emotional pressures, and stress are all reminders to us. \u00a0They remind us of the importance of meditation in our lives, both physically and spiritually.\u00a0 However, for many, meditating in what some might term the \u201ctypical way\u201d does not come with ease and sometimes evolves into an experience of frustration and disappointment…and eventually giving up.<\/p>\n
You are not alone.<\/p>\n
For those of you who may be experiencing roadblocks in your meditation practice, or simply don\u2019t have the slightest idea where to begin, I am here to share with you one of my very favorite CDs:\u00a0 \u201cSoul of Healing Affirmations\u201d by Deepak Chopra.<\/p>\n
I purchased this CD a couple years ago because I was having trouble falling asleep.\u00a0 \u00a0I was searching for something to help relax my body and quiet my mind before going to bed, and this CD showed up in my life.<\/p>\n
Utilizing the powerful process of affirmations, accompanied by soul-centered music, the tranquil voice of Deepak Chopra gently moves you through an A to Z guided journey — what Deepak calls an \u201cA-Z Guide to Programming the Software of the Soul\u201d:<\/p>\n
Acceptance<\/p>\n
Bonding<\/p>\n
Compassion<\/p>\n
Divinity in Me<\/p>\n
Empowerment<\/p>\n
Fear<\/p>\n
Giving<\/p>\n
Higher Self<\/p>\n
Intention<\/p>\n
Judge not Today<\/p>\n
Kindness<\/p>\n
Love<\/p>\n
Mindfulness<\/p>\n
Nurturing<\/p>\n
Opposition<\/p>\n
Presence<\/p>\n
Question<\/p>\n
Relationship<\/p>\n
Self Referral<\/p>\n
Trust<\/p>\n
Understanding<\/p>\n
Vision<\/p>\n
Wisdom<\/p>\n
X Factor<\/p>\n
Yes to Life<\/p>\n
Zero<\/p>\n
The good news is meditation does not come in only one flavor. \u00a0It does not have to be done in a candlelit room, with your legs crossed, eyes closed, for hours on end. \u00a0We can meditate through mindfulness or noticing the moment, through prayer, in a walking or moving meditation such as yoga, through chanting, or in silence.<\/p>\n
As in all of life, there is no right or wrong way…only what works best for you.<\/p>\n
Whether you are new to meditation and looking for a tool to assist you, or perhaps you desire a unique and enjoyable way to relax, or maybe you are seeking to deepen your spiritual awareness, I highly recommend adding the \u201cSoul of Healing Affirmations\u201d by Deepak Chopra to your meditation and life experience.<\/p>\n
