100 Benefits of Meditation

100 BENEFITS OF MEDITATION

Meditation is so incredible! Why?

Is it the 100 different benefits? Is it the fact that doctors are curing diseases with it in books like Meditation as Medicine?

Is it the fact that it helps with stress?

For me one reason it is so incredible is that it is so difficult. I know that I need to do it because it is so hard to do.

I have run for over 5 hours and it is still not as difficult as sitting still for 20 minutes and breathing. It just shows me how far I have gotten from my source of energy.

I love doing it and do it every night. Books like the Law of Attraction by Esther and Abraham Hicks have really made me a bigger fan of meditation.

I also find it fascinating that some of the most successful people have admitted to meditating most of their lives like Jerry Seinfeld. Did meditation help him become one of the most successful comedians of all time? It very well could have.

Permanent Peace Through Meditation

Zero Limits: The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More

I bought this CD set at a thrift store for two dollars. It is about a Hawaiian method of healing our lives by practicing a simple meditation that is used to heal our past memories with love.

The CD focuses on a practitioner of this ancient method that healed an entire mental ward in a hospital by working on himself. Eventually that mental ward shut down because all the patients were released. Fascinating recording! See if you can get it from the library.

I have been practicing the simple method ever since and it makes me feel good. It really is a peaceful meditative practice.

This is the next book I want to read. Can we create world peace with meditation? This book documents over 19 different studies that all show we can change this world and make it less violent with meditation.

These studies also showed that groups of meditators meditating affecting the economy in the area where they were meditating in a positive way.

I love you

I am sorry

Please forgive me

Thank you

Love The World...

What if we could heal the world with love???

Eat Right...Eating Garbage Doesn't Make Sense!

I just read yesterday that it takes running or walking 35 miles to lose 1 lb of body fat or you could do 17,150 sit-ups.

If Michael from the latest season of The Biggest Loser would have just did exercise and followed his same diet he would have had to run/walk 9,170 miles or do 4,585,000 sit-ups. That is the equivalent of running or walking 25 miles a day or doing 12,561 sit-ups for a year.

Wouldn't it just make more sense to eat healthy food instead of running or walking 9,170 miles to burn off the fat and calories in unhealthy junk food???

It just makes too much sense to put good fuel in our bodies. The body is the temple of God. Make sure to treat it like that at every meal and you won't have to do just under 5 million sit-ups.

145 Species Killed During Modern Tuna Fishing

How can we justify this? How can we justify destroying our oceans for food that clogs our arteries and causes heart disease? The work that Dr. Esselstyn is doing is a miracle, because he is reversing heart disease with a diet that does not result in 145 species of sea creatures being killed for food that is not good for us. Not to mention that all the literature shows that cattle grazing and growing crops for livestock is the #1 cause of species extinction.

Humans are destroying the planet for animal protein that causes cancer according to the most comprehensive nutritional study in human history, The China Study.

Engine 2 Food Makes 'Em Smile!!!

People love it when you feed them healthy food. I always bless my food with love and positive thoughts and always get positive responses.

The Poker party was a huge success. Everyone loved the Sweet Potato Lasagna, but next time I will bring a much smaller dish of it because it is a little expensive to make for people. I would rather make a big dish for me and Amber.

People at the Poker party loved the whole grain cholesterol free Engine 2 Chocolate Chip Cookies. The next day I brought leftover Sweet Potato Lasagna to my family and they loved it and then I gave them some fresh Engine 2 Chocolate Chip Cookies and they loved those.

Making healthy food with your family is one of the most incredible experiences on the planet. Think of those kids watching you make those vegetable dishes and healthy whole grain cookies. What kind of message does that send to them?

It might tell them that we care about our health and your health and the planet. Then they will teach their children the same thing.
