It has been exciting to share the recent posts to all the readers following me in the world. Also, would always love to hear your comments and feedback. Please leave comments and anything else you would like to know about the benefits of meditation that may not have been covered.
The article in the most recent posts made a lot of sense to me. Through science, they are letting me know how the human body is affected by the high vibrational energy that I am channeling into all those that come to my groups.
For me, I see the people instantly start to change around me. Some, can feel the energy during their first meditations with me. Others, cannot feel the energy, but certainly notice the positive changes around them when they go to work the next day. Plus others, about 95% who attend, have the best sleep that same night. I welcome all beginners to my groups. It is an easy meditation to start with, as my meditations are guided for you to follow.
Also, as most of us have western bodies, I encourage those who attend to either sit in chairs or lay on the beds. Nothing worse that getting pins and needles in your legs while meditating.
Also, I give thanks to all those who have joined us throughout the year. There have been some famous people join us also. I have only realised this, when others have mentioned it to me.
For me, everyone is equal. Famous or not, means nothing to me. Everyone is an individual. In this day and age, way too many of us are suffering from stress. My observations show me that stress is the main ingredient that then grows into all sorts of weird and odd illnesses. Everyone seems to suffer differently.
Most of all, when people are stressed, I find they lose their humaness. They seem to go numb on the inside and as the article excerpts I have shared, suggests through scientific research, stress releases bad chemicals through the body that ages you quickly.
Also, I will be posting up live recordings of my meditations soon. Promise. For those that have listened to them, were amazed at the energy they could feel coming through the recordings.
On another note, please place all paper in for recycling. Don’t print what is not necessary. You will be surprised how many trees are cut down to make paper. If we are all conscious of what we do and don’t use coffee paper cups. There will be a lot more trees and forest left on the earth. Have a great Christmas everyone. Hopefully will get a couple more posts up before then.

We found a range of disease-fighting genes were active in the relaxation (meditation) practitioners that were not active in the control group, Dr Herbert Benson, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, who led the research, says.

The good news for the control group with the less-healthy genes is that the research didn’t stop there. The experiment, which showed just how responsive genes are to behaviour, mood and environment, revealed that genes can switch on, just as easily as they switch off.
Harvard researches asked the control group to start practising relaxation methods everyday, says Jake Toby, hypnotherapist at London’s BodyMind Medicine Centre, who teaches clients how to induce the relaxation effect through meditation.
After two months, their bodies began to change: the genes that help fight inflammation, kill diseased cells and protect the body from cancer all began to switch on.

Meditation entry in twilight, Sydney

Meditation entry at dusk, Sydney

Scott called me one Saturday earlier this year, before I started guiding my meditation session. He was so distraught over the phone and said he had problems finding a meditation group that he could join and really needed help in that moment. I managed to calm him down and welcomed him along. When I met him he was so emotional. Only to find out that his wife had decided to divorce him with his two children after a 14 year marriage.
When he started coming, I could see that he felt like his whole world was crashing around him. After the first session of meditation, he managed to calm down and started to face the reality of the situation with logic. As he attended the second session through to the fifth, he found that he was starting to gather his strength to deal with the matter, stand his ground more and managed to get the right lawyer by his side. He had many good omens guiding him along the way. Whatever he shared with me, I tried to translate what the omens meant.
He has been coming continuously since then. After a couple of months, he found that he was ready to let her go and to move forward with his life. He loves his children dearly and reminds me of the great love my dad gave me. His emotions started to stabilize and as a result, the road he traveled became smoother for him.
One Tuesday night he shared with us that it was over and settled. We all decided to go out after meditation in celebration for him and his new life. He was so sweet, at the end of the dinner, he kneelled down before me and thanked me for all my healing, help and the great energy from the group. He said he knew if it wasn’t for the meditation, he would not have gotten through this rocky road as well as he did. His gratitude almost brought me to tears. I felt so happy that I was able to help him that much. It is these experiences that move me. The experiences money can never buy.
I encouraged Scott to still keep coming as there was another phase of healing for him to go through now. As it was, he was doing great. He was calmer, happier and very relieved it was all behind him. He took my advice, kept coming and mingled only with positive friends and influences around him. I asked him to not be in the company of anyone who was negative. Thankfully he listened, which helped me to get him where he is now.
As the weeks moved on, he really connected well with his greatness. He started to shine a lot more. Almost every night he came to meditation with a big smile on his face and shared the great opportunities that were opening up around him, with business, friends and new people he met. He admitted he has not been this happy for such a long time.
It is great that he did not fall into any depression, as most people do when you go through such a heart wrenching experience. Scott is doing great now. Still has a few ups and downs along the way, which is very normal considering he is getting use to a new way of life now. It is now his fifth month, joining our sessions once a week, he is doing amazingly well. If you met him now, you would not believe he lived through such a terrible experience, so recently. When he smiles, I can see the whole world smiles with him. He is both humorous in his nature and joyful. He is also developing new ideas to expand parts of his business. So being a lot more proactive in all parts of his life. Well done Scott, for such and amazing break through. May your story inspire others out there who are going through the same experience. To let them know that meditation can help you get through such a great change in your life.
