Imagine being totally accepted for who you are. No need to be anything, or anyone more than you can be right now. Imagine that there’s no judgement of anything you’ve ever done. No blame for falling short of anyone else’s expectations.
Every moment is an opportunity to accept ourselves, exactly as we are, and to allow the conscious-ness of unconditional love to flow through our whole being…
Imagine that every time you failed in life, that you didn’t actually fail. Instead, you learnt something new – taking you deeper and deeper, so that you could arrive at this moment right now…
The amazing paradox is, that when we fully accept ourselves for who we are, right now, then we create the space to become totally authentic, completely ourselves. We become the ‘us’ that we’ve longed for at the core of our being for so long…
The curious paradox is that when I accept myself as I am, then I can change” - Carl Rogers

Beginning meditators often experience something, which has been called the monkey mind. The monkey mind is a term that describes how your mind jumps from thought to thought like a monkey jumping from branch to branch.
For example, a thought will pop into your head, which will trigger another thought, then another and another. And on and on it goes until you think that your mind has become uncontrollable and that you'll have to stop meditating.
But your mind has always been that way. It's only now that you're discovering it. Meditation raises your consciousness to a point where you can see the confusion that we all have. This is the first stage of meditation and, thankfully, it's a temporary one.
But it's important not to suppress these thoughts when they pop up - just watch them as if from a distance. As you continue with the meditation your mind will become more and more still, although thoughts will still pop up from time to time.
These may be unresolved events from your past and you'll discover how to deal with these too.
All the best

Dear visitor, please say this prayer:
"I ask for the assistance of 100,000 angels, to remove all negative entities and negative energies from around me, my room, my household and the surrounding area, and send them to the Great Central Sun for transmutation. Thank you, amen, amen, amen and so it is."
