The Wellness Cafe podcasts Chris Russell

Here is the last meditation in this 15 day meditation challenge. I have really enjoyed this. And a big thank you to Mitch for creating these audio presentations of each daily meditation. They were terrific and you did a great job. Please enjoy and learn from today's practice.

I encourage you to keep at this meditation practice. If you are in the Vancouver area, and want to meditate with others and my Tibetan singing brass bowls, please do contact me at the wellness cafe to learn when we meet weekly.

Wow, eh. I have noticed that each day of mindful awareness brings with it that exact synchronicity that allows me to practice in real time/action the message of the day. Yesterday was do not Judge anything, simple yet profound. I found myself in a scenario where I needed to act without judgment. I needed to receive all that was happening without judging it and the people involved in it. What a difference that made too. I can only guess, but I think that had I moved into this scenario with judgment and all of its arrogant and willful side effects, that I would not have moved as gracefully, honestly and clearly as I did. Thus, I am grateful for yesterdays' meditation and mindful practice. I see tangibly how being mindful upon a spiritual principle daily really does guide me. I am in awe of the flow of life and love, its beauty and meaning is divine.

Yesterday in my mindful practice throughout the day, I saw how important forgiveness is. I saw how people are tormented, confused and filled with fear and anger as they hold onto their hurt, pain and confusion in their interactions with people, friends and family. forgiveness is a psychic mechanism for releasing pain, healing from hurt and letting go of the past, allowing the mindful being to live in the moment. forgiveness is so powerful.

Love is Eternal, Amen. And we are love beings, so we are also eternal beings. It is in Love that we find our eternity, so be Love in all you do, so that you being will be eternal and loving.

Yesterdays mindful practice is one of the most important practices one can have in developing a whole and spiritual life. In my belief it is the key to success in life, for a healthy, meaningful life of service and joy filled with peace and awareness. Each day I choose love over fear, each moment I look for love and let go of fear. Each encounter is an opportunity to feel love and nothing less.

Now that we understand the differences between meditation and prayer, and how mindfulness is akin to always listening to God, what have you heard from God recently, what are you asking of God now?
