When most people think about meditation, they simply think of monks that live in caves and monasteries, spending their time sitting cross-legged on the floor. Even in today’s day and age a lot of people don’t know about all the benefits of meditation and never think to try it for themselves.

Tip 1: Choose a certain time to do the meditation every day. Always do the meditation at the same time, this will set you up mentally and thus you will be more likely to get into a meditative state faster. I personally recommend setting aside a at least 30 minutes everyday.
Most meditation techniques will give you a certain time during which it is said that the meditation will be of most benefit. However it must be remembered that using the stated times is not nessecarry. Remember that almost all meditation techniques will need to be revised more or less to meet the ways of the person doing the meditation (That means you). This also includes changing the time stated if that time does not work for you, or you are buzy at that time or you simply hate that time.
Tip 2: Choose a room in which you can remain undisturbed for the duration of your meditation. The location you choose should also be as noise free as possible. If you cannot find a noise free place you may consider investing in some noise canceling headphones. If you have family or friends or someone living with you, you may want to tell them that you are not to be disturbed during that time and to make as less noise as possible. Having a certain time also helps your family members remember the time they are not supposed to disturb you.
Tip 3: Develop a meditation technique and stick to it. Sticking to one technique will help you to adapt to that technique so that it will become easier with practice not to mention take far less time to get to the meditative state. Remember from tip1 that most meditation techniques need to be changed somewhat, so do not be afraid to change the details of the meditation technique you choose so that it suites you.
Tip 4: Do NOT Stress. If you are a beginner with meditation you may find that this is the most important tip you could ever have. If you stress you will not be able to relax. Its the complete opposite from what you are trying to do. Do not be nervous (or at least try) during meditation. And even more important is that you do not get frustrated after the meditation, specially if you do not see any changes. Learn to take note of small changes and improvements caused by your meditations because focusing on those changes will cause more positive changes, however being angry may cause the changes to instead slow down.
Tip5: Meditate with Purpose. Despite what you may read, meditation is actually an active thing that you need to do. It will not suffice to just sit there and assume that the meditation will do itself. rather it is something that you actually need to take active action to do it.
Bonus tip: Stretch out before beginning. It is not a requirement to do the streches, but it helps during meditation by helping you to relax.

Our words show the outer world what our inner world is like. Our thoughts are revealed through our emotions and our emotions are shown through our words. The words that we use and their impact on spiritual growth will be the focus of this article. As you can see energy healing is powerful.
Spiritual growth is the process of moving closer to our ideal state. Our ideal state is when our true nature shines through. And we are the grateful hosts of our true nature given to us by the creator. energy healing
There are many filters that block our true nature from shining through to the world. Are these filters made of some mysterious substance? They are made up of our emotions and our thoughts. Our words are what expresses both our thoughts and emotions. And spiritual healer helps with these filters.
Why have the words that we use become my main focus? Thoughts or emotions could have easily been the main focus. The reason I have chosen words is because they are the easiest to observe. And our friends and associates can easily show us our use of words.
If someone says that you seem sad that is an interpretation that you could disagree with. But if they said that you said “I hate everybody” or “I love everybody” that is difficult to challenge. Growth is gauged by the words that we use. If you want your life to change then simply change your words.
The fleeting nature of thoughts make them difficult to directly change. I am sure you have noticed how your thoughts roam from topic to topic. It is very difficult to capture a picture of your thoughts in any single action.
Your emotions are the same as your thoughts. Emotions have a tendency to just appear without warning. And when a strong emotional reaction happens it generally is to late to do anything about it.
There is a difference with words. When you speak a sentence you have the ability to immediately change it. To either reorder the words or change the words altogether. Instead of saying “You make me mad” you could say “What you are doing makes me mad”. There is a world of difference between those two sentences.
The question is how can this let our true nature shine through. The main filters are all our irrational negative emotions. Emotions such as fear, hate, jealousy, anger etc… These negative emotions are best replaced with positive emotions such as gratitude, love, patience, kindness etc…
The more we watch what we say the more we can replace the negative with the positive. Our thoughts and emotions will become more uplifting the more our words become uplifting.
The more we clear away the negative the more the positive grows and the more our true nature shines through.

Learning how to meditate is similar among many various cultures and religions. This holds true in many aspects of practicing meditation, from learning how to breathe properly, proper posture, when to meditate, choosing the correct place, planning your meditation and understanding our thoughts and emotions. When you are just learning how to meditate don’t worry too much about every little thing. Before you can begin to unwrap the many years of programming you will have to create within yourself a great desire and sense of urgency to want to change. It is important that you learn how to meditate the right way to get the most from your meditation experience.

Attending the Feast is an activity that is unlike anything else. The first thing to realize is that it is an activity that is in total harmony with the will of the Creator. Contrary to what modern religious leaders might have you believe, the Creator is not a sadist. He is not a monster who delights is seeing people fry for eternity. If you have been subject to this particular propaganda you might want to request the booklet, Hell Is A Lie! from AFSS Corporation. Send your request to 8v@8v.com and you will obtain the booklet by overland mail. There is no charge for it, of course.
The Eternal wants you to do well. He is wanting you to succeed, the same as you might want your favorite ball team to succeed. He wants to set free your unbelievable mind-blowing potential so you can use your God-given talents and abilities in ways you never dreamed possible. The Feast is a time during which the plan of the Creator is, to a great degree, revealed and explained. One evidence that the Creator is concerned about you is His willingness to allow his Son to die an agonizing death in order to provide you (and me, and everyone who is receptive to His message) with a never ending life. As humans, we all have the potential to accept the Son and alter our behavior to do the will of the Father.
The Feast of Booths exists as one of the celebration days of the Creator. It represents a preview of what is to occur in the not-too-distant future after the three and a half years of tribulation are over. Whereas the tribulation will be a time of unparalleled agony and suffering, the following period of time, the millennium, will be a utopia the likes of which this planet has never known. The Feast of Booths (Tabernacles) is a preview of this wonderful time.
Invitation to the Feast
We are all the product of our experiences. People tend to stay close to their bloodline roots when choosing what to believe. However, just because we believe something to be true does not cause it to be true. We need to prove all things and hold fast to that which is good. Humans, as a general rule, have rejected their Creator over the years. This includes not only atheists but also people who believe they can be Christians and disobey God and people who believe in a dead faith. There are two kinds of faith: a dead faith and a life faith. Faith without works is a dead faith (James 2:26). A Christian wanting to finish the process of salvation and do no works is very much like the servant putting his talent in a napkin and burying it in the ground. It is an example of a fruitless life. The Creator wants to see fruit. He wants to see works.
What Works?
The 1000 years of peace will be for the benefit of people who have had a fruitful life of giving and serving others and obeying the Creator as a result of their acceptance of His Son.

Most are unaware that the Creator has celebration days. These are specific days that he uses to show people what his plan is. The plan of God is outlined within the celebration days of God. Without them life does not make complete sense and appears to be void of meaning. All of the celebration days of God are listed in the twenty-third chapter of Leviticus. The animal sacrifices are no longer done, of course, because the sacrifice of Christ causes the animal sacrifices to be totally unnecessary. Christ, our Passover, is sacrificed for us (1 Corinthians 5:7). Therefore there is no need to sacrifice bulls, goats, lambs or doves.
One of the primary celebration feasts of God is the feast of tabernacles, also known as the feast of booths or the feast of in gathering. Zechariah the prophet had this to write about a time in the future, just ahead of us, a few years:
“And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles” (Zechariah 14:16). This feast is so important to God, there is the warning of a penalty for those who do not keep it. “And, it shall be that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth, unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain” (Zechariah 14:17). Is this only for the Jews or only for Israel? No. It is for “…all the families of the earth…”, everyone on this planet.
Of course, there are many who want to celebrate their own days and try to pretend that it is of God. In this day and age, inventing one’s own religion is an every day event. It is also the way of Cain (Jude 1:11). Life is a series of choices. We can choose to do things God’s way or we can choose to follow the inventions of men. It is up to each of us individually to make a choice. We need to choose wisely.
“You shall observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after you have gathered in your corn and your wine” (Deuteronomy 16:13). What is this about wine? Will people be drinking wine? Yes. The feast will include wine. When all else fails, believe your Bible.
“And, you shall rejoice in your feast…” (Deuteronomy 16:14). During this time of great stress and economic hardship, these are seven days for you to join others and rejoice. Joy is one of the primary results of the feast of tabernacles.

Should we invent our own religion or be willing to conform to what men have invented? God spells out in detail which celebration days he approves of. He is explicit. We do not have to guess. It’s all right there in the handbook of life, the Bible, the Old and New Testaments.
“You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish ought from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God…” (Deuteronomy 4:2). You should keep the commandments of the Lord your God.
“Here exists the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12). Keeping the commandments of God is the wave of the future. Disobedience to God is behavior that has no future. The dragon, in prophecy, is symbolic of Satan, whose primary mission is to hinder people from obeying God.
“And, the dragon was wroth with the woman and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 12:17). “…worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” (Revelation 19:10).

“And, if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and of the things which are written in this book” (Revelation 22:19).

In the 1970’s it was noted by many students of Behavior Psychology that, in many cases, a laboratory rat is smarter than a human. It’s because a laboratory rat can eventually notice that certain pathways are not helpful in finding the cheese. On the other hand, so many times, humans continue on the same path because they have in mind that “the cheese is supposed to be here” when it really isn’t. As humans, our trial-and-error compartment may not be as active as it should be. There is also the issue of creativity itself. Colleges cannot teach us creativity. In fact, most colleges and universities go the opposite direction, teaching us how to be robotic, how to be politically correct, how to believe in evolution and look down our noses at the Bible, how to believe in man-made global warming. Global warming has a new label: climate change. The academic alarmists have realized that “global warming” has a sort of extremism attached to it.
Creativity is achieved by breaking set patterns of thought. We create our own one-person think tank by breaking set patterns of thought and breaking free of the traditional avenues of thought. One of the best ways to break set thought patterns is through effective meditation. This is to be distinguished from other types of meditation such as those that promote empty-headedness, mindless mantras, and repeated word syndromes.
We, as humans, do not like to be corrected or told that we are wrong. However, in order to see progress in our lives, one of the best techniques is to make use of constructive criticism and make good changes. After all, we should not try to reason around why what we are doing is not allowing us to find the cheese. This requires flexibility and a willingness to try something adventurous and inspiring.
“Heaviness in the heart of man makes it stoop: but a good word makes it glad” (Proverbs 12:25).
The King James “heart” is from the Hebrew “leb”, meaning center of the mind. Over 90 percent of the time, when the Bible mentions a heart, it is speaking of the center of the mind, not the heart that pumps blood.
Ask-Your-Bible
It is always better to be positive, upbeat, and cheerful when going into meditation. Otherwise, the outcome may be less than what could be desired. Meditation is of little value unless it helps us in our daily lives. Effective meditation is a way of having a more full understanding of our lives and a more focused attention to the point of our existence.
“If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable” (1 Corinthians 15:19). As humans, we might need to be creatively selfish in order to recognize our need for a life that transcends this chemical physical existence.
Unfortunately, most people believe they already have eternal life. Thanks to threats received during childhood, most people believe the “go to heaven/go to hell” notion. Anyone who would like to transcend this particular notion should request the booklet “Hell Is A Lie!” It is a real eye-opener and it is free from 8v@8v.com. Hell is a product of fear religion and the mistranslations of the King James Bible. Fearful people do not find it easy to meditate. Caution is generally a self-protecting reaction but fear tends to be an extreme and, in some cases, can degrade one’s quality of life.
Effective meditation involves breaking away from set thought patterns and escaping from traditional imperatives that tend to keep us sort of trapped in the ordinariness of life. Breaking free is always the right choice.
