Walking Meditation

  

Walking beside the Bow River looking onto Poplar Island where the beavers have chopped down a tree in the summer of 2020.

When I first learned to meditate, based on all the instructions from teachers and from books, I thought that one had to sit quietly, in a lotus position, and push all thoughts out of one’s head if you were going to meditate properly.  Over the years, I have learned that there are many ways to meditate, depending on what belief system you follow and where you are when you want to meditate.

I have learned to love the walking meditation which is an active meditation practiced in Buddhism and in Shamanism.  Walking meditation is not limited to these traditions.  Meditation while walking may seem like a contradiction of activity versus focus.  However, one must be extremely mindful while walking in meditation.  You concentrate on your steps, your breath, and on the world around you.  Mindfulness is part of the strength of the walking meditation.  The steps one takes bring clarity of what needs to be dealt with, or what emotion needs adjusting, and, gives space for a different point of view.  For many practitioners, the walking meditation is a prayer to Nature and to the Universe.

When something troubles me and I cannot seem to get a grip on it, I leave the house and do a walking meditation.  I focus on my steps and my breath and leave the troubled thoughts behind.  Sometimes, it takes a half hour before the soothing peace covers you as you walk.  It make take an hour or so for a simple solution to appear as you walk.  The physical activity helps you work off the tension and stress and walking is just a good health strategy anyway.

Blessings.

Combat Disharmony

 

 

The poster above comes from my book, “Earth Wisdom Meditations; 111 Contemplations for People Who Love The Earth”.  This speaks to the power that each of us has to influence the world around you by first making changes to your own life.

We think of the Universe as nebulous.  However, a small part of the Universe is in each of us.  It settles in our soul.  It makes us want to be in service, however that looks for us.  It is part of our daily prayer of life whether we think we pray, or not.

Blessings,

This is a Time of Clearing Karma

I have been working with clearing and resolving my karma for years.  I see karma as unfinished movies that have been put into archives, and, like the movies that are in the archives in Hollywood, need to be brought out and completed. 

One of the nudges that I got to work on it harder came from an article that  I was reading that was a channelled message from Archangel Michael. I was struck by the following passage....

“I would say to you it is so and karma is working itself out. Still, when this is occurring, I am aware of what is happening and doing my part to assist in that karmic balance, which is so important at this time.

Karma is Balancing

You know and you feel how severely the karmic balance is working itself out, now that you have passed the millennium change. You expected this but perhaps you did not realize how very strong the karmic underlying energy would flow on your planet. It is very true that those who are not of the Light but as you would say are of the lesser Light, are deepening their energies to solidify that which is evil for their own selfish means, their own selfish greed. Because of that, you are noticing evil things occurring on a daily basis. The thoughts of those who are evil and greedy are in your newspapers; they are on your radio and on your television. You are hearing them on a daily basis; you are seeing them and you are realizing the results of their conniving efforts.

On the other hand, you have those of Light, that balance of energies between the lesser Light versus the Light. Those of the Light are bringing in more and more energies from the Great Central Sun and from the finer dimensions. That Light is gathering energy and is strengthening those people who are on the edge perhaps, wondering what is occurring on Earth. Many are coming towards the Light rather than towards the evil ways and so the Light is strengthening and the love is pouring upon the planet. Therefore, we have a great spiritual war happening on all levels. ...” ----- from "The Golden Age Beckons As We Prepare" - Archangel Lord Michael Speaks of Earth's Miraculous Transformation as channelled by Ariana Sheran of Cloverleaf Connection. See www.cloverleafconnection.ca for more information from Archangel Michael and Ariana.  

This passage confirms that karma is indeed coming up for balancing, and we, this generation moving into the next four decades is being asked to clear it as quickly as we can. Our Ancestors are asking to have their “unfinished movies” produced and filed so they may move on to their next assignment.

How does the karma show up for us? It may first come up as an injury. If we don’t pay any attention to it, it then goes away, and reseats itself as a more permanent body pain. Again, if we ignore it, the karma may move into emotional or mental instability, and when it begs release, it shows up in our bodies as a long term illness that may be come terminal quite quickly.

What can we do? There are various ways to clear karma. One can use Reiki, Energy Medicine, BodyTalk, Quantum Touch, EFT – all of which are energy healing modalities, and, this is just a partial list. Or, one can do meditations, of various types that will also clear karma.

How I can help…I have put together ten plus methods of clearing karma to clear past traumas, to clear and balance chakras, and to clear negativity, and balance the body as a whole.  If you are interested in a one to one session to try one or two of these clearings, email me at lightstationwisdom@gmail.com.  Each session is C$60.00.
