"Life is like a mirror, it reflects back to the thinker what he thinks into it.” — Earnest Holmes"

In the past months, we've posted a progression of three related articles:
1) Be the Architect of Your Well-Being—the science behind the Law of Attraction.
2) Raise Your Vibration: Embrace a New Paradigm—the importance of the Law of Vibration.
3) From Flow to Fulfillment—the difference between Awareness, Intuition, and Higher Knowing.

Fall is a majestic season and a perfect time for self-reflection. Much like the trees that shed their autumn leaves, we can release the patterns that hold us back by embracing a fresh beginning.

Recently, we covered the Law of Attraction, followed by the Law of Vibration. This month, we shine the spotlight on three deserving topics.

In our quest to understand ourselves and the world around us, we often come across the terms awareness, intuition, and higher knowing. While these concepts may seem similar, there are fundamental differences. Here's a brief comparison.

The July blog article: Be the Architect of Your Well-Being explains the science of the Law of Attraction and it's fundamental concept that governs our existence. Albert Einstein's theory E = mc2 is proof that everything is energy.

Whether we want to achieve success in our careers, improve health or relationships, reach personal goals, live a happy life, or find deep spiritual fulfillment, the key to success lies in our ability to align mind, body, and spirit, with a desired outcome. Simply put, the Law of Attraction states that our thoughts, actions, and feelings manifest as our life experiences. The energy we put out to the universe is directly linked to what we attract. When we are the driving force: anything is possible.

Canadian-born, Bob Proctor is a prime example of how we can change our paradigm. At 26, he found himself without a high-school diploma; he had great difficulty finding a job. With a burning desire to rise beyond his meager beginnings, he took random side jobs. Then Proctor made one bold and fortunate decision that changed his life forever. He moved to Chicago to receive first-hand tutoring with Earl Nightingale. This coaching arrangement was life-changing, and Proctor prospered.

Life is a Balancing Act

At a very young age, I learned one of life’s toughest lessons: No matter how well life seems to be going, you can count on a few curveballs coming just around the corner.

Most often we are not prepared for life's surprises, then suddenly, we find ourselves knocked off balance. Regaining balance can take more effort than one might expect—and that’s where resilience comes in. I learned one difficult lesson extraordinarily well, the more I focused on self-care the easier it was to regain my balance.

Think of life from an athlete’s perspective. The more consistent the training, the easier the recovery. The primary difference is that you are training for resilience.

Developing resilience naturally.
Balance isn’t something we learn from a best-selling book; it’s cultivated through daily practice. The formula is simple. Take care of the body, mind, and spirit, and you’ll feel balanced and become resilient in the process. Know that cultivating 'self-awareness' is the key ingredient. Awareness allows us to read subtle cues.

Calm is a Superpower

In today’s intense and busy world, calm is a rare state of being. We don’t often think about it; it’s not an attribute we frequently strive to cultivate. However, the “state of calm” is under-recognized as an indispensable superpower—and it deserves our attention. Cultivating a state of calm within can enhance your career, your personal life, and even help you choose reason over panic in a crisis.

Calm in a crisis
The presence of calm was most evident in the striking example of US Airways Flight 1549.
On Jan. 15, 2009, Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger lost thrust in both engines. In the dead of winter, the former Air Force fighter pilot made a calculated choice to land the Airbus A320 (weighing more than 82,000 pounds) onto the icy waters of the Hudson River. Without hesitation, Captain Sullenberger trusted his decades of experience as a seasoned pilot, combined with a deep “inner-knowing.” Pilots describe this rare combination as “deliberate calm.”

Inner-knowing is similar to a gut instinct or strong intuition. However, inner-knowing comes from a higher place within—divine certainty.

The success of a student in their meditation practice may have everything to do with two single factors, the commitment of the student, and the awareness of the teacher.

By Lorraine Alexander, July 4, 2019

In today's complex and uncertain world, meditation is an essential daily ritual used to enhance personal stability, reduce stress, and preserve a balanced lifestyle. According to the Mayo Clinic, meditation ranks in the top three "must-do list" to improve health, along with eating healthy and exercising. Learning to meditate is like having a dose of the perfect health elixir, offering a blend of unparalleled benefits. And best of all, the practice can enrich one's life by improving self-awareness. The bottom line is this, life with meditation can feel amazing.

Americans paid attention to this ancient practice once meditation hit the cover of Time Magazine and Scientific American. Then, America's top CEOs, famed actors and actresses, and NFL football team members all came forth to proclaim their health and personal success was credited in large to their daily Vedic meditation practice.

The mind-body wellness of meditation
Meditation is a vehicle that can transport you from frenzied to calm, taking you back to your center, a position of balance. For creatives, the meditative state is the point of pure inspiration. To layer even more benefits, there is an absurdly long list of medically-backed health benefits for the mind and body, such as heart health, brain health, deeper sleep, lower stress, and the ability to flex easily with the occasional curveball that life may throw.

One single question that begs to be answered about meditation
Over the years, I find people continue to ask me the same question over and over, "What is the best form of meditation?" There are many useful meditation forms; some are simply more effective than others. This article explains two fundamental approaches to meditation.

Directive versus non-directive meditation
Within the practice of meditation, there are two primary categories, directive and non-directive. The directive form requires focused attention, while the non-directive form allows the mind to wander. Although the origins of both forms emerged from religious roots, many contemporary versions have risen—free from dogma and religion, with a primary focus on stress reduction, health, and happiness.
