Spiritually good

Hope 2010 got off to a good start for you! My friend shared with me his excitement on making a decent sum of money from the first stock rally of the year. I heartily congratulated him! It is a joy to see friends achieving success.

In the new year, if you want to feel good spiritually, Marie Callas says you can give meditation a test run. I have tried it and its really soothing and effective to improve my spiritual well-being and to relax mind and body. If you feel there is religious stigma, fear not. Meditation is a proven age-old technique that helps you deal with stress, anxiety and depression.

In this busy life, we are so disturbed by noise, negativities and political chaos in this country. So, I encourage you to start a daily habit of calming down and meditating.

Feel the spiritual source of power!

Meditation in the cool morning

I love to write about meditation.

All thanks to psychic Marie Callas, I have found meditation brining a calming influence into my life. My awareness has improved too. No longer I feel "blurred" at times. It's like there's a bright light shining on my path that shows me to the right direction.

Meditation gets me closer to God than any prayer. I'm not a religious person but someone who's aiming to be spiritual. Luckily I live in a place that's not too noisy, and sometimes I can heard the birds chirping and insects buzzing on a lazy day. The weather is hot here so I usually wake up at 5am as the weather is cooler and the dew is still visible.

I don't mediate at night as there is too much distraction from family. I would like to ask my wife to meditate with me but I guess she prefers to get up later.

To meditate well you need to sit in a comfortable position. Just find a good place to sit and meditate without being disturbed. For me I sit in my favourite relax chair facing the trees at the second storey of my terrace house. Sometimes I play a little bit of Al Gromer Khan in the background to guide me into the groove.

During meditation, you can close or open your eyes. For me I like to keep them open so that i can see the morning trees swaying in the cool breeze.

Relax your muscles and next concentrate well so that you stop thinking. Let your mind become blank and silent totally. I know sometimes a thought just flies into your mind and that makes you unable to concentrate. In this case, maybe you have to stop for a while.

Listen to the sounds around you. Listen to your heartbeat. Listen to the breaths you're taking. Inhale slowly and exhale slowly. Be aware of every breath, of every sound around you; your pains.

It will take a couple of times for you to master this, but once you do, you will find yourself going to a higher plane than the one that you're currently on, and when you go to a higher plane, you're closer to God. And that is where we all want and need to be.

May peace and prosperity be with you.

Meditate for a good sleep

You had a long and stressful day at work and now you are ready to relax and prepare yourself for bed. But somehow, your mind just wouldn’t switch off. You’re still thinking of the events that happened at work today, or are worried about the important meeting you’re going to have tomorrow.

The above scenario happens to many people as most of us experience some form of insomnia at some stage of our lives. Factors like work stress, a newborn child, or illness can add physical and emotional anxiety to our lives, robbing us of the quality sleep that we badly need in order to function properly.

A very effective method to calm our minds is through meditation. I meditate as much as I can from the instructions Marie Callas has taught.

There are many types of meditation, and different people do it for different reasons. For me, meditation relieves stress, restores inner peace and promotes a healthier state. Meditation is also especially helpful if I want to fall asleep. Think about it.. it really helps.

Generally, I sit in a quiet location free from distraction, dim the lights, put my feet firmly on the floor, wear loose clothing that would not restrict breathing, and close my eyes. Sometimes I play some soft background music and it takes about 10 to 15 mins.


Well, temporary or not, meditation will still be useful if it can just give us those extra few hours of sleep and make the quality of our lives slightly better. Try it to see if it works for you.
