Message From The President |

Summer has arrived!
Well, not the searing 110+ degree desert
summer, but what feels like the
summers I remember growing up in
Chicago.
The school year is ending and I'm
reminded of those carefree days of
summer vacation I so loved as a child.
I hope you had a memorable Memorial Day
and THANK YOU to all of you who
have served our country in military
duty. |

FEATURE ARTICLE – The Birds
and the Breeze |
|
|
|
|
It's especially wonderful in Phoenix
because the days have gotten longer, the
cool winter weather has moved further
north and the days have not yet begun to
resemble furnaces.
This is our state flower-from the
Saguaro cactus. The flowers just
here for a very brief time but they are
a delightful to see.
I've resumed my morning walks up South
Mountain (OK, only mildly up the
foothills - I'm not really hiking).
But it's beautiful none the less.
One of the things I enjoy most on these
morning walks is the constant chatter of
the birds in the area.
I have no idea what they're saying, but
they sound to 'chipper' and happy! I
just want to fly up, up and away
with them. The music of
their calls seems to extract creative
ideas from my brain and the joy,
excitement and determination to
make them happen.
The combination of sunlight, birds,
beauty and really lifts my spirits - not
that they were even down this week , but
yesterday's walk took them even higher. |
 |
The other dynamic that caught my attention
yesterday (and hence the name for this article)
was the gentle whistling of the breeze against
my ears. It wasn't loud or distracting, but
calming and grounding.
So if you're wondering how you can bring more
balance in your life, here are
some suggestions:
1. Make time for your self and spend some with
nature
2. Get clear about your purpose in life
3. Do what you LOVE. Don't stay in a job
you hate.
4. Just say "No!". You don't have to
do every great idea that comes along (either
from you or someone else) |
|
5. Purge yourself of unsatisfying
relationships, projects and unnecessary junk in
your home or office.
6. Take short breaks throughout the day.
Every 90 minutes, do something completely
different.
You may have heard the phrase, "If it's going to
be, it's up to me". If you don't stop and
take care of yourself, it ain't gonna happen!
Make it happen. |

SYNDICATED
ARTICLE - 5 Different Ways to Meditate
|
|
|
by: Trevor Johnson
Reprinted with permission
There are many different ways to
meditate. Each one is a different method
with broadly the same end result. Check
out these different meditation methods
to see which suits you best.
1. Walking meditation
This is one of the easiest ways to
meditate, although obviously it isn't as
separate from the rest of the world as
you need to be aware of your
surroundings. With a walking meditation
you pay attention to your feelings and
your surroundings. Allow yourself 20
minutes or so and if possible choose a
place where you're away from traffic. A
local park is good. Then go for a gentle
walk and take in the area. Notice the
smells and sounds and pay attention to
what you see.
2. Breathing meditation
At its simplest, you find a quiet place
where you won't be disturbed and start
to take deeper breaths than you'd
normally take. Breathe in a long, slow,
deep breath. If possible hold it for a
second or two before releasing it, again
slowly. Repeat this over again, at least
5 times and ideally more. You'll find
that this is a quick way to bring about
a more relaxed state in your body.
3. Binaural beats meditation
This is the "modern" way to meditate and
is the method I personally use
regularly. You can purchase this kind of
meditation and then play it on your CD
or MP3 player. You need to find a place
where you won't be disturbed for the
length of the track, which is typically
30 to 60 minutes. The track will play a
background noise - usually rainfall or
music - as well as binaural beats. These
beats play two slightly different tones,
one into each ear. Your brain then tries
to resolve the small difference between
the tones and it is this which brings
out a meditative state with next to no
effort on your part. This kind of
meditation is very powerful - don't get
taken in by its simplicity!
4. Cosmic meditation
Quite similar to the binaural beats
meditation, this is usually linked to
Cosmic Ordering which is a structured
form of Napoleon Hill's ideas from Think
and Grow Rich. A cosmic meditation
usually takes the form of a guided
meditation which will get you relaxed
and then allow you to send your current
wish or goals listen to the cosmos.
5. Guided meditation
There are many of these available on the
internet. They usually last between 20
and 60 minutes. Typically a guided
meditation will start with a relaxation
procedure so that you're relaxed and
receptive for the main part of the
meditation. It will then move on to the
actual aim of the meditation, whether
this is deep relaxation, healing your
body, contacting your higher self or any
other goal you have chosen. You can
choose a single guided meditation or
they are often sold in bundles of
several guided meditations.
Whichever way of meditation you decide
to use, you'll find that it helps to
relax you and relieve the stresses and
strains that seem to accompany our
modern lifestyle.
