Isn't it amazing what clarity of thinking one can achieve through the process of meditation. I really truly believe it works from personal experience too. I find now also that even though I don't at the moment meditate on a regular basis, just a calm way of living brings in a lot of clarity. I recently heard Bruce Lipton speak about how when we live in constant stress and fear, we actually from a physiological perspective lose the ability to think clearly and consciously. We only maintain a reflex to react. And those reactions of course are coming from a very basic reflex of survival, instead of growth and clear thinking. So if one is stressed (which in one way or another we can all benefit from this) I highly recommend meditation as it definitely brings us back to a space and point where we can think clearly and consciously. And you are so right, we really never know who and how we touch.... Hello Stacey

What a moving email indeed!

So if one is stressed (which in one way or another we can all benefit from this) I highly recommend meditation as it definitely brings us back to a space and point where we can think clearly and consciously.

And you are so right, we really never know who and how we touch….

What an affirmation this is for the blessing you are in the world. We often think we need fame, money or to be acknowledged publicly, for the work we do. Now there's nothing wrong with these things but I believe that's our ego constantly telling us we are not enough, we don't do enough and we don't have enough. You are making a powerful difference in the lives of many. We never know who we touch or how many but because of the internet we are able to reach so many more than we ever thought we could. Thanks for being the person you are and sharing your gifts so freely. Stacey,
When you get emails like these that’s when you know you’re in the right place doing what you were born to do. What an affirmation this is for the blessing you are in the world. We often think we need fame, money or to be acknowledged publicly, for the work we do. Now there’s nothing wrong with these things but I believe that’s our ego constantly telling us we are not enough, we don’t do enough and we don’t have enough.

You are making a powerful difference in the lives of many. We never know who we touch or how many but because of the internet we are able to reach so many more than we ever thought we could. Thanks for being the person you are and sharing your gifts so freely.

My thoughts go spinning all around and I get a little overwhelmed, that's when I practice Yoga and/or meditation. It helps me slow down and appreciate where I am at. By centering my thoughts I can feel the beauty again. I’m a huge fan of meditation. My thoughts go spinning all around and I get a little overwhelmed, that’s when I practice Yoga and/or meditation.

I sometimes find myself not wanting to shut off the "noise" of life - radio, phone, computer, even books and knitting - to just sit for a bit and see what comes up. It can be uncomfortable at first but is always beneficial. Great post.
