As a fundraiser for Kafi, our Tarot Reader Extraordinaire, I decided to have a bake sale. I don't know how to do a spaghetti dinner or pancake breakfast, but I do bake and know how to follow a recipe. The Village Market in Elk Rapids donated ingredients, and my baking "meditation" started last Saturday.
Now, I can meditate sitting, being quiet, and I like it very much. But I often find that a "doing" meditation gets me the best results when I am looking for answers. Walking, washing dishes, cleaning house, knitting - the routine lets me be in the present moment and allows my mind to be still. I must be intentional with this, otherwise I'd just be thinking, thinking, thinking...
I did get some insights as I continued to bake for six days straight - whenever I wasn't at the Higher Self Bookstore. One that, to me, was huge had to do with my weight-loss hitting a plateau. I realized that I was holding a belief that if I lost any more weight I'd have nothing to wear! Aha!
So I changed that belief, because it wasn't true - number one. I also had to give myself permission to shop and spend some money on clothes. It's okay! Along with a little hypnosis tweaking, the scale is on the move down once again. I'm a firm believer that what one believes is what one experiences in their reality. Identify the belief - if it is not working in getting what you want, change it. If you need help with this, let me know.
The Bake Sale starts today, August 2, and goes until it's all gone. If you happen to miss it, I have some ingredients left and would be happy to fill an order. Kafi should be back to the store soon - until she does we are also selling gift certificates for sessions with her at a discounted price.
Meditation doesn't have to be hard, and less thinking gives you a chance to hear what the heart, and Source, has to say.
