I constantly remind myself that at every moment I make choices about how I feel consciously or unconsciously. That freedom to choose leads me to darkness (fear) or light (love) in that journey we call Life. So never forget: You choose your thoughts; therefore You choose how you feel.
A cautionary note: be careful because most of us have been trained early on to
unconsciously choose our world to focus on. What we see then creates our
feelings.

Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Meditation
Did you know...My Secret Meditation is now available on Amazon... another tool to keep you living the secret everyday? Check out the latest research on some of the benefits of meditation
Meditation is said to be a great stress reducer. The first significant studies, in the '60s and '70s, proved that meditators could get themselves so deep into trances that theywouldn't react when they were prodded and burned. Another study showed that meditators, unlike marksmen, didn't flinch at the soundof a gunshot. And a Harvard Medical School professor studied 36 meditators and found that they used 17% less oxygen, lowered theirheart rates by three beats a minute, and increased their theta brain waves -- the ones that appear right before sleep -- without slipping into actual sleep. A later Harvard test showed that theEEGs of meditators were significantly different than those of a control group. Later studies became more sophisticated with brain imaging. One study showed that the brain doesn't shut off when it meditates but rather blocks information from coming into a certain portion of it-- the parietal lobe.
Another study showed that meditation slows blood flow to all portions of the brain but the limbic system,which generates emotions and memories and regulates heart rate, respiratory rate, and metabolism. For 30 years, meditation research has told us that it works beautifully as an antidote to stress," says Daniel Goleman, author of "Destructive Emotions. But what's exciting about the new research is how meditation can train the mind and reshape the brain."
Tests using imaging techniques suggest that it can actually reset the brain, changing the point at which a traffic jam, for instance, sets the blood boiling. Good news: You don't need a guru, weird clothes, or a monastery to meditate.
It's pretty simple:
1. Find a quiet place and turn out the lights.
2. Close your eyes.
3. Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose.
4. As you exhale (slowly), say a word or phrase that has a soothing sound.
5. Repeat.Start with 10-minute sessions. If desired, increase gradually.

Springtime: A Time to Rejuvenate
Spring is in the air..a time to rejuventate and 'smell the roses.' Align yourself
with the 'real' you, the joyful you. The best way to do this is to continually and deliberately accept and be grateful for all that you are and have. Every day take an inventory of all the wonderful parts of your life: your family, your friends, your job, your health... Sift through what appears bleek at times and find that positive piece to focus on. Don't ever forget that you are a powerful creator and what you give your attention to is what will come to you. A negative focus is simply resistance to getting all you deserve;that you can overcome. So come alive this spring and all year long.
Start with our latest new tool added to our treasure box: Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Meditation... another way to keep you on track daily living The Secret. See our special introductory combo value above offered by MSM Sales.

Contentment is the Secret
How can we learn contentment?~ J. R. Miller, "The Hidden Life" 1895 "
I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am." Phillippians 4:11
How can we learn contentment? One step toward contentment, is patient submission to unavoidable ills and hardships. No earthly lot is perfect. No mortal ever yet in this world, has found a set of circumstances without some drawback. There are . . .trials which we cannot change into blessings, burdens which we cannot lay down, crosses which we must continue to carry, thorns in the flesh which must remain with their rankling pain. When we have such trials, why should we not sweetly accept them as part of God’s best way with us? Discontent never made . . . a rough path smoother, a heavy burden lighter, a bitter cup less bitter, a dark way brighter, a sore sorrow less sore. It only makes matters worse!
One who accepts with patience, that which he cannot change–has learned one secret of victorious living. Another part of the lesson, is that we can learn to moderate our desires. "Having food and clothing," says Paul again, "let us be content with these." Very much of our discontent arises from envy of those who seem to be more favored than ourselves. Many people lose most of the comfort out of their own lot–in coveting the finer, more luxurious things which some neighbor has. Yet if they knew the whole story of the life they envy for its greater prosperity, they probably would not exchange for it their own lowlier life, with its more humble circumstances. Or if they could make the exchange, it is not likely they would find half so much real happiness in the other position, as they would have enjoyed in their own. Contentment does not dwell so often in palaces–as in the homes of the humble. The tall peaks rise higher, and are more conspicuous–but the winds smite them more fiercely than they do the quiet valleys. And surely, the lot in life which God makes for us–is always the best which could be made for us for the time. He knows better than we do–what our true needs are.
The real cause of our discontent is not in our circumstances; if it were, a change of circumstances might cure it. It is in ourselves, and wherever we go–we shall carry our discontent heart with us. The only cure which will affect anything–must be the curing of the fever of discontent in us. A fine secret of contentment, lies in finding and extracting all the pleasure we can get from the things we have–the common, everyday things; while we enter upon no mad, vain chase after impossible dreams. In whatever state we are in–we may find therein enough for our need. Taken from: http://www.cindyhon.blogspot.com/
