This book is dedicated to my Jerry.
I love you with all my soul, all my heart, and all my might.
Forever, always, and beyond, may we inspire the perpetual kiss
between heaven and earth.
To my Beloved Three Sirens of Song:
Jane, Cathy, and Dorothy.
Thank you for all your love and light.
Contents
T HIS MEDITATION JOURNAL is all about your personal pursuit of happiness and fulfillment, and learning how to give yourself the gift of love and light. Often the phrase love and light is glossed over simply as an obligatory signature line or salutation, but I believe it is the adoption of love and light that supplies the consciousness with goodness itself, the very bedrock of refinement and healing, helping you overtake any trauma and anxiety in your life.
Your capacity to heal is commensurate with your ability to let in the light.
Undefended and open love can usher in that exquisite orchestration of order and trust in a lifetime otherwise corrupted by dysfunction. Ritualized invitation for access and reception of the highest qualities of the supreme genius of love and light reinforce a resourcing in personal expansion beyond what we have previously fathomed as linear reality. Love and light are each both a noun and a verb, enabling giving and receiving, aspiring and being at peace, loving self and others at the same time.
It does not matter if you have never meditated or if you actually meditate your way through life, nor does it matter what your belief system is or whether you are spiritual or a non-believer; this bedside books call to self-discovery will take you on a reconnaissance toward your most expansive consciousness. Whether master or beginner, whether alone, with the intimacy of a partner, or in a group, all is on track for you and everyone to access your hearts desire with the exercises in this book.
Everyones approach to meditation is unique, and you will have your own relationship with your vastness. Your meditations must be comfortableyou may feel the need to move or sit or even lie very still, you may feel more comfortable with your eyes open or closed, and you may be more or less comfortable with enhancements of music, ocean sounds, fragrance, water elements, candlelight, or near darkness.
As a personal journal, your own automatic writings are prompted by parables and meditative prayers that are universal and inclusive of all religions, philosophies, and belief systems. This invitation to call on your own self-illumination is also predicated on the physics of neuroscience. Through the sheer act of meditation, new pathways are established in your brain and there is a physical rewiring as the brain reshapes itself. With instructive meditation, you can increase your intuitive reception, regulate your fear center, and enhance your ability to concentrate, focus, and make effective decisions. You are at the helm.
In addition, the secure practice of meditation and automatic writing creates a safe place, a sanctuary to experience sensations beyond the five senses. In that safe place, there is room to break through your psychological, emotional, and spiritual barriers, leading to an understanding of the positive system that provides solid grounding and expansion, no matter what you might be struggling with. Love and light eventually take on new meaning, as they become the staple ingredients for your evolution and growth.
Life in Life is not only the life you lead, but also the life within your life: meditation that regularly employs the consciousness of goodness, truth, and beauty, guiding you toward your distinctive expansion.
Life in Life is a meditation journal designed for you to reach the part of yourself that is connected to that extra consciousness of goodness. From that pivotal connection, your most expanded self, outside of old patterns, can nestle in an internal sense of wellbeing, help refine your lifes purpose, improve overall health and wellness, alter neural pathways to ameliorate trauma cycles, unleash your innate intuition, and sharpen problem-solving and executive functioning, all together in the harmony of a happier life.
We all need regular and emergency meditation to dilute the usual reflex of resistance, that negative push backward away from the momentum toward the light. With Life in Life, you will reconfigure each moment to bring everything required for light and love to prevail and endure.
Stay open for the light, for your own Highest Self devoid of looping or repetitive negative behaviors; be supple and full of love, and all will fall into place with comfort, completion, and ease.
HOW TO BEGIN
While in the beginning stages of the book, read the whole chapter out loud, including the exercises, before you start. The reading aloud will help put into your physical world the energies, clarity, and sharing you are embarking upon.
Read all prompts to each chapter and exercise (even if you may not feel you are a Master, or are actually working with a partner), as the suggestion boxes may reveal important information for you.
