The Mindfulness Challenge

As anyone who practices mindfulness, you must face the challenge of the aspects which you have pushed aside. While it is an admirable practice to improve your focus in life by pushing aside other thoughts, emotions or feelings, you need to take a deeper challenge. The challenge is to realise that pushing aside any thoughts, emotions or feelings, does not make them disappear. When pushing them aside, they continue to exist on the periphery of your consciousness.

 

You need to understand these aspects within your life so that you can then move beyond them. Moving beyond them, you can no longer react to the stimuli which they produce. However, if you leave them unattended within the recesses of your mind, they are like the proverbial Pandora’s box. As such, any emotional aspects not appropriately understood or banished completely from your mind, can lead to many unforeseen problems.

Infusing Matter with Life

An essential aspect of wellbeing is the circulation of energy through the human form. The term meridians characterise the energy distribution system as denoted in Chinese medicine, and details how the basic substances of the body permeate the entire body. The individual meridians are typically described as paths or channels which echoes the idea of carrying, holding, or transporting blood, body fluids and chi around the body. Chi is the Taoist idea of the Life Force, which permeates all matter and infuses it with life.

 

The energy circuits or meridians supply energy to all parts of you. You should be mindful that an accumulation of emotions can lead to blockages or obstructions in your body. These disturbances to the circulation of chi within the human mechanism can bring about various forms of sickness or ill-health.

What is the Zodiac?

In astronomy, the zodiac is a group of constellations that is present behind the path which the Sun, Moon and planets transverse across the sky, as seen from our planet Earth. The Zodiac occupies a small eight-degree view on either side of an imaginary line known as the ecliptic. The ecliptic is the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, which in effect traces a path of the Sun’s movement around the celestial sphere each year.

The constellations of the zodiac are named after figures, animals and objects from Greek or earlier mythology. The ecliptic line passes directly through the thirteen constellations of: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Ophiuchus, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius and Pisces. The ecliptic also passes very close to the constellations of Auriga, Corvus, Cetus, Orion & Sextans, which means that on some occasions the Moon or planets may actually transverse these other constellations. Astronomical Astrology identifies this group of 18 constellations as the extended zodiac.

Expel Undesirable Emotions

Realise that suppressing or subduing thoughts and emotions, specifically the unfavourable ones, can be perilous as you continue on your journey of awakening, meditation or attunement. Suppressing an emotion does not admonish an emotion. The emotion still exists within you, secreted in the background of your mind and subconscious.

 

As you progress and the energy of your Life Force enlivens your form, these energies will feed all aspects of your being, including emotions that have been hidden away under the proverbial rug or in a darkened corner of your mind. The emotional energy can build in the background and lead to a fiery outburst which can create harm and additional causality. You should acknowledge and expel the emotion to ensure that it does not smoulder and grow within, causing unimaginable problems.

Accessing your Life Force Energies

The ability to work with your Life Force energies is not a mystery it is achievable through Cognition (a true calmness of mind) and Ekagrata (focused thought). As you learn about this inner energy, you will find that you can apply it in many situations for whatever positive result you require. Strength, willpower, healing, upliftment; all these and more are possible through the correct application of this amazing energy source. Multi-faceted Knowledge is based on accessing your Life Force to expand the understanding of yourself and expand the capabilities of your Life Force as an energy being.

 

Accessing your Life Force energies allows you to bring harmony within yourself and resonate within higher states of consciousness. Free yourself from physical, mental and emotional limitations through moving out of your conditioned emotional patterns of thinking into positive and creative higher levels of mind. Changing your mental wavelengths will enable you to calm and balance your thoughts, emotions and feelings. You then can make the right decisions, can see and evaluate situations that are not tainted or influenced by outside emotions.

Franz Bardon Concentrating on Substance

What is clearly distinct in any one of book by Franz Bardon is his dedication to the work including Hermetics. Hermetic refers to knowledge that is in correspondence with the conduct of the Universe. His books concentrate on the substance of the work, supplying beneficial and functional information for the student. What establishes his books apart from the majority of his contemporaries, is that there are no assertions regarding his success, or achievements. Bardon did not appear to be seeking to develop a legend regarding himself. The only self-references in his works are irregular attestations that he had himself used this or that procedure. It is very clear that Franz Bardon concentrated on substance rather than celebrity in his in-depth works on Hermetics.

A New Form of Astrology

Astrology has been steeped in misconception and superstitious notions for many years, yet has normally been considered detached from the scientific discipline of astronomy and the observation of the stars. With Astronomical Astrology, these two discordant areas of knowledge are merged, bringing to light astrology backed by scientific research and the actual observations of the Sun, Moon and planets throughout the skies. This unique form of astrology considers the comprehensive movement of the planets and the stars, taking into account the precession of the equinoxes due to the long-term wobble of our planet.

 

The awareness, understanding and comprehension of the energies which influence and affront you is key to grasping how you live your life. The energies which are patterned by the Sun, Moon and planets as they transit through the constellations influence you, and form the basis of Astronomical Astrology.

 

The World of Actuality

You may well have taken advantage of mindfulness techniques to stop, pause, to become aware of what is taking place in the moment. You might have leveraged meditation as a reprieve from your emotions, thoughts and feelings. What is it that makes you act, respond, think, believe and feel in the way in which you do? What is the trigger which presses your psychological or subconscious buttons? The answer to these inquiries might be far more complicated than you initially conceived, as you view your place in the larger cosmos.

There is much more that is not seen than can be seen. Take into consideration that everything in the universe is energy. Welcome to the world of actuality and real facts. Absolutely nothing within the cosmos is by fortune or accident, all adhere to well-prescribed patterns and circulations of energy which form the basis of all matter, thoughts and our reality.

Falling Asleep while Meditating

There are several reasons people can feel sleepy when mediating. The fundamental key is that you need to learn to be in control to stay master of your mind and body, instead of your mind controlling your body.

If you have had an overwhelming day or struggle with stress, then you may discover that you frequently become sleepy during the course of your meditation, as your body starts to destress from the pressures of your life. If you routinely experience this, then take some time-out to stand or splash some water on your face prior to proceeding.

During the afternoon, many people experience an energy slump, so instead, they choose to practice meditation in the morning when the body is awake. It is also common that a relaxed sitting posture can contribute to the impulse to nod off, so take the opportunity to get started with some good posture before you begin your meditation.

A far more perplexing reason why you might become sleepy during your meditation is because your mind controls your life. You may uncover that it is your mind which is wielding control, drawing you away from your meditation. Essentially your mind exerts control over you, impeding your ability to effectively practice meditation. As you continue to meditate, you can strive to take back control from your mind, nevertheless be aware that your mind is going to resist relinquishing control at any cost.

Apply your Intellect

As individuals, each of us differs from one another in our ability to understand complex ideas, to adapt effectively to our environment, to learn from experience and to engage in various forms of reasoning through the application of active intelligence. These differences are never entirely consistent, as your intellectual capabilities will vary on different occasions and in different aspects of your life.

Witness Five Planets in the Sky at Once

It is a rare and amazing opportunity to be able to see all five of these bright planets in the sky simultaneously. They will also be in the correct order outward from the Sun, starting with Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and ending with Saturn. The event last occurred in December 2004, but it was only visible in certain tropical areas.

You can see the Northern Sky as viewed at 5 am in London or you can see the Southern Sky as viewed at 7 am in Brisbane and zoom in to see the locations of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn as they align in the true astronomical locations for the Zodiac.

The display will be visible until early July, so unless you experience an unbelievable string of bad weather, you should be able to view the amazing display. Light pollution is a potential, although likely minor issue. The best conditions are clear, dark skies but luckily, these are all bright, naked-eye objects so you should be able to see the line-up even from the city.

If you have a pair of binoculars or a telescope, point them at the planets and moon (but never the sun). With even a small telescope, or binoculars on a tripod, you can see Jupiter’s largest 4 moons and Saturn’s rings. If you are in a dark enough location with a small telescope, you might also be able to see the atmospheric bands in Jupiter’s atmosphere.

What is illumement?

Illumement, like other practices such as meditation, has many different connotations depending upon the reason for undertaking them. Illumement can be simply stated as being at one with your true self. Through learning to bring quietness to your mind and silencing the endless noise of your thoughts, emotions and feelings, gradually the essence of your true self, the Life Force, begins to emerge. Illumement, in its simple and purest form, is all-encompassing harmlessness to be at one with yourself.

The Energy Keys

Throughout the ages, adepts of every time and place have achieved higher levels of an awakening of their Life Force through the understanding of colour and sound as a fundamental key to the energies of life. Hidden within many aspects of the Kabbalah are the keys to accessing such energies through the combination of sound, colour, number and vibration. Such knowledge provides a means of understanding how colour and sound interplay providing keys to the energies of life.

Do not Feed Detrimental Emotions

It is important that you must learn to master your thoughts and emotions and not just try to suppress or bury them. In the process of mastering your thoughts and emotions, it is important to observe or be aware of that aspect within you. As soon as you acknowledge or observe their presence, then you should strive to remove those unwanted aspects from within or around you. Get rid of any detrimental thought or emotion – do not feed it by dwelling on the matter. This should be your motto to help you master your thoughts.
