Experiment with human awesomeness in 2011 to save our world

It's a great time to be alive!

Its time to save our world. Despite the messes in us and around us, humanity is poised to move to a higher level of consciousness. There is a mental shift maturing amongst humanity – we are on the verge of less sickness, fear and anger and instead having more good health, calm awareness and love!

As we move into the new year of 2011 we continue to witness massive changes or challenges in technology, institutions, the state of the earth and the state of us humans.

Technology is changing every few months – the latest computer or palm gadget is outdated by the time you get comfortable with it.

The institutions of finance, religion, military, medical, governmental, cultural, science, etc are falling apart by their own recklessness or are being challenged by individuals and the masses.

Depending on who is talking, the state of the earth’s ecosystems and its overall health has been on a steady demise.

And “us humans” – with the epidemics of diseases and mental madness – it’s quite obvious that we have some fixing to do.

But all of this is good! What?! Why?

This is good because chaos promotes change. No, I don’t mean that any actual pain and suffering that we are experiencing is good, but that all major positive changes globally or personally are a direct result of chaos or dissatisfaction with the status quo.

In history, poor conditions in a society promoted chaotic civil unrest which brought revolutions and eventually better conditions.

Individually when we become dissatisfied with some aspect of our life it becomes a compelling reason for change, to make improvements.

Major positive reforms are being birthed in all institutions – instead of complying with the destructive agendas of a few, clusters of people everywhere are refusing to accept the status quo and are demanding and co-creating improvements. We are on the verge of human awesomeness.

Instead of conspicuous consumption and designed obsolescence we are steadily heading towards the day when the bottom line will be compassion not increased profits, when science and technology will be focused on and capable of finding solutions to providing the basic needs (and beyond) for all people.

It won’t be long before we will have access to free or very cheap unlimited clean energy – imagine the possibilities with that!

My personal goal is to challenge any troublemaking chatter in my head, to love and forgive others and myself unconditionally, to continuously improve my life such as eating mostly well, exercising just enough, and strengthening my spiritual and physical connection to the earth and other humans.

Even if I wasn’t 100% sure yet that we are indeed part of one united spiritual body, I do know that if more of us at least imagined it to be true, it would be to the benefit of all.

No pressure to you or me but let’s live each day as leaves of the same tree of life – lovingly and compassionately aware of (and in control of) our inner mental programming and instinctual urges – and experiment with human awesomeness in 2011 and beyond.

Will I Learn Meditation for Beginners?

To stay healthy has become a major concern in everyone's life. Today, people struggle to remain free from tension & live a healthy life style. Healthy living comes from healthy thinking that is not only limited to positive thinking but to follow a constructive thinking.

People practice number of activities & exercises to keep themselves fit & young. Trying yoga, aerobics etc is not the only way to achieve a healthy happy life, instead its important to adopt healthy eating habits, practice mental health with proper meditation. When you meditate you may experience an exuberant sigh of relief.

For many of you, just the word 'meditation' may cause anxiety. I know it did for me. When I started, I could not meditate for beans. I just couldn't stop thinking.

Being an extremely active person, sitting calmly for 20 minutes without thinking can this be bring into practice?

If you have the same question, don't give up, this is normal for anyone learning to meditate. Perhaps what’s driving you on is the benefits of meditation such as:

• Feeling healthier
• Sleeping better
• Being Calmer
• Being Less stressed
• Being More focused
• Better concentration

When you practice meditation for beginners you will likely feel a weight lifted off of your shoulders. It’s like living with a huge debt load, losing your job and then learning that you won the lottery.

You may have tried to meditate unsuccessfully once or twice. I know it sounds easy to just sit down and clear your mind for 20 minutes. Don’t get discouraged, this is a normal experience for those trying to learn to meditate.

Besides sitting quietly with no thoughts going through your mind, there is another way, a much easier way to learn how to meditate. You can simply do an active form of meditation.

Don't believe that the only form of meditation is done by sitting still. Doing something that you love & give your full attention to can be a form of meditation.

If you have a run-away mind, an active form of meditation will probably be easier for you to begin. In an active form of meditation, your mind does not have to be completely quiet.

While being active, you are concentrating on something you love to do. By keeping your mind on one thing, you are helping your powers of focus and concentration. I'm sure you'll agree that this is much easier than thinking about nothing.

When you walk, feel the ground under your feet as you place each foot down and also feel the muscles in your legs as you move them forward. Co-ordinate your step with your breath, so each step takes the time of one breath.

As you are doing the walking meditation, the only thing that is important in your life is the step you are taking at that moment. Make each step as smoothly and calmly as you can. Keep your mind totally on the step you are taking, one step at a time.

In the beginning of this active meditation for beginners, your mind may wander. When you notice that it has, bring your attention back to the step you are taking. Once you get the hang of it you will be in a beautiful, calm and blissful state.
