Take back your power!
If we are being negative in our actions, emotions and thoughts then we are creating and putting out a frequency that will draw those kind of experiences to us!

Inner Power is a Limitless Force
Who you are, is beyond gender and name, it is the energy that connects everything and exists in everything. It's the part of you that can never die. You are always connected to it and can never be separated from it. You can only believe that you are separated from it through the mind and ego. We just need to become conscious of this connection to start benefiting from it in our daily lives.
We connect to the world, through the physical body and our thoughts. The body is like a cup holding this essence. There are many words that have been given to describe this essence such as love, God, Buddha Nature, chi, source, energy, light, soul or spirit. I don’t care what you prefer to call it, I will refer to it as energy or source. When you connect to this part of yourself, you will know a love that knows no limit, a joy that is independent of circumstance, an ability to be present in the now. It is like plugging into the centre of the earth for heat, there is a limitless supply of it, once you know how to tap into it.
Think of the great adventurers of the world and all the incredible things they do, like running a naked and barefoot marathon in the North Pole. These people perform feats that would normally kill an ordinary human being. They are tapping into this powerful part of themselves that has limitless potential, energy and knowledge. We all have access to this energy, and we have tapped in and out of it many times in our own life, without consciously choosing to do so. At the moments when you felt invincible, powerful, overjoyed or bubbling with creativity or found yourself in the zone, your were connecting to that greater part of yourself. Meditation is the conscious choice to plug-in to that energy into that source.

In the pursuit of Love
In our pursuit of Love there are some fundamental things to consider that can greatly help us on a daily basis. Unconditional love starts with loving the man/woman in the mirror, regardless of what's going on around you right now, how you look or how you feel about yourself or your life.
Love is something which springs forth from inside of us rather than something that is given to us by those around us. Others can give us their respect and kindness, but love is something shared rather than given. Here is where many suffer from love because they have over looked this enlightening interpretation of how love works.
We seek love from the outside when it is in fact a hidden gem waiting to be discovered within us. It is the very essence of who we are as humans. The thing that drives us to do wonderful things for each other and the world. I shudder when I see love being used to escape being accountable for the choices we are making.
Like staying in distructive relationships in the name of love or performing acts of horror in the name of love for our countries or what ever else we are passionate about. Love is a sacred river from which when we drink we are refreshed, revived and inspired and enlightened. When we dare to connect to the source of that river which is within us, it flows out into the world around us bringing life to the seeds we plant in other peoples hearts.
Love and happiness are intrinsically contented, so if we seek one we must also pursue knowledge and experience of the other. Unconditional love feels like no other because it goes beyond the limits that we assume love has. Love is as limited or expansive as we choose it to be, because ultimately what we believe about anything is what will ultimately prevail.
Our beliefs cultivate our way of living and defining what is possible and what is not. I have come to believe through my personal experience with love, that there is absolutely no down side to or limit to Love. It will in fact empower you immensely when you choose to fully surrender yourself to it, become it and share it with fearless regard with out needing a reason or provocation to do so! Fear to love too much arises only when we believe it is something we recieve from others and can therefore be lost, rather than something shared with others from that fearless place within.
From this place love can never be lost or taken away from you, also it is not so much something you give away, but rather something you become, something you are and something you embody and radiate through the conscious choice to do so!

More info on scientific experiments
Meditation is like a wonder drug without undesirable side effects. Research shows it can reverse DNA damage, improve brain structure, drop heart disease risk, boost immunity, increase energy and reduce inflammation. A meditative mind may instill immensely improved health.
Regular Meditation Over the years, published research has demonstrated that the practice of regular meditation can increase brain density, boost connections between neurons, decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety, provide clarity of thought and increase positive mood endorphins. Other published studies have shown meditation can improve physical functioning, decrease chronic disease risks and enhance overall quality of life.
These studies demonstrate that regular meditation effectively supports mental, emotional and physical health in numerous tangible ways. In building upon this strong body of evidence, researchers are continuing to deepen our understanding of the profound and inspirational benefits offered by regular meditation practice in everyday life. read more
More Scientific facts about meditation
Research on the processes and effects of meditation is a growing subfield of neurological research. Modern scientific techniques and instruments, such as fMRI and EEG, have been used to see what happens in the body of people when they meditate, and how their bodies and brain change after meditating regularly read more

Scientific facts about meditation
It truly is amazing What we are finding out about what happens in our brain and body when we meditate.
The benefits of meditation are well-acknowledged. Yet a scientific explanation of how it works has been conspicuously absent.
Brown University scientists may have helped to overcome this barrier as researchers propose a neurophysiological framework to explain the clinical benefits bestowed by meditation.
Scientists believe that mindfulness practitioners gain enhanced control over sensory cortical alpha rhythms that help regulate how the brain processes and filters sensations, including pain, and memories such as depressive thoughts.
The proposal, based on published experimental results and a validated computer simulation of neural networks, is based upon the intimate connection in mindfulness between mind and body. This approach is consistent with standardized meditation training that begins with a highly localized focus on body and breath sensations.
The repeated localized sensory focus enhances control over localized alpha rhythms in the part of the brain called the primary somatosensory cortex, where sensations from different body are “mapped,” said researchers.
In a paper found in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, researchers said that by learning to control their focus on the present somatic moment, meditators develop a more sensitive “volume knob” for controlling spatially specific, localized sensory cortical alpha rhythms.
Efficient modulation of cortical alpha rhythms in turn enables optimal filtering of sensory information. Meditators learn not only to control what specific body sensations they pay attention to, but also how to regulate attention so that it does not become biased toward negative physical sensations such as chronic pain.
The localized attentional control of somatosensory alpha rhythms becomes generalized to better regulate bias toward internally focused negative thoughts, as in depression.
“We think we’re the first group to propose an underlying neurophysiological mechanism that directly links the actual practice of mindful awareness of breath and body sensations to the kinds of cognitive and emotional benefits that mindfulness confers,” said lead author Catherine Kerr, Ph.D. READ MORE

Wake up and Roar!
Hello and Welcome to my blog. This has been something I have wanted to create since sometime now finally I have a place to freely express what I really feel about everything around the subject of Enlightenment, Spiritual awakening and growth, connecting to God and all that wonderful stuff!
If you are sensitive to Rebels then you may want to stop reading right now, but if you think that this is an area where someone needs to speak out against some of the misconceptions, misdirection being peddled out there and sold to the masses as Spiritual awakening then read on and enjoy!
To start with I am not in agreement with anyone who is too stuffy, arrogant, higher than thou on these issues and I believe it's this attitude that limits so many from finding and living the truth which is every humans birth right and can only be found in the heart of the Now.
I always wonder why with so much great wisdom available in the world, why are we still fucking things up as a human race!?
Oh you don't think we are fucking things up!? Yes I am using the word fucking here as I don't think there is really any other word at least in the English language that discribes it so clearly and beautifully! But I am open the learn other words that do so feel free to enlighten me futher! ha ha ha!
So you dont agree that WE are fucking things up, with our actions with our beliefs with our words, with our big fat egos?!
Take off you rose colored sunglasses, for just a moment, that is all you will need;-)! and take a plane to, Asia, Africa, South America, America!Hell any where poverty and corruption is crippling a society from moving forward or living with dignity and Care, or even just preventing them from having the basics.
Take a bus to the wrong side of the City. Or simply open your eyes and ears and heart and listen to what's really going on around you. In your bed;-) in you home, in your office,in your community!!In your country!
If you stop thinking you know everything and start truely listening to everything, you will find a crying for rightness not only from people but from the earth, the trees, the animals, to the rivers and the Seas, You will hear, see and know with out a shadow of a doubt that we are fucking things up big time !! And all of us are responsible and playing our part!
And you waking up to this truth will be one more light in the world doing the right thing morally and ethically. Waking up and being more aware,more concious and therefore more equipped to start doing your share to influence your immediate surroundings and making your contribution to bringing more peace, equality, love, peace and joy into this world.
It all starts with awakening to the truth NOW. Become a lover of truth and pull your head out of the sand and engage in finding your inner peace, love and light. Its the challenge of this lifetime to become a man or woman spreading goodness into this world, by connecting to the love and light within your own heart
