Meditation

Tonight I was walking through the place where I’m renting while I find a job and permanent place to live looking for my friend who lives in the back. I was feeling a bit stressed over a few things that hadn’t gone well the past week and she wasn’t home. My other friends were in bed and another wasn’t feeling well. The stars were not aligned in my favor. I was forced to talk to someone I cut out of my life out of concern for my cat that remains in Arizona and needed to clear my head. I was about to throw in the towel and start fresh the next day when I ran into someone who I connected with on an unexpected level.

Ever since I arrived in Miami, I have felt like everything has been welcoming me back home. I reconnected with family and friends I love. I made friends with the kind of people I felt were missing the first time I lived here. I got stopped on the way back to my room and was offered really good words of wisdom. I shared everything that was weighing me down that week and this person immediately lifted those worries away. He had overheard my call and helped me take control of my own mindset by pointing out how irrelevant the parties involved were to my own well being.

The mind is a powerful thing. We often forget how much power we hold over our own happiness and peace. I wanted to share this in a post because when you leave or if you are still in the middle of planning your escape, you are going to need to move forward in your life with the purest and strongest of intentions. My new friend shared some guided meditations that worked for him when he experienced challenges of his own. He pointed out how those individuals did not operate at my same vibration and I was allowing them to pull me down to their level.

I highly recommend gray rocking as a technique if you are still in a difficult marriage. It helped save my life but I am also a huge proponent of meditation and yoga. Grounding yourself in nature and realizing the power you have over your own mind and body are essential. If you think it’s important to workout your body and I agree it’s another form of therapy, it is just as important to rest and nurture your mind.

Tonight, I’m going to do the meditations my friend recommended. I felt the strangest and nicest sense of peace wash over me as I walked away from him. I am dedicating this post to him for being a light when I needed it most. I’ve had nothing but good weeks until the last one here and refuse to allow that to continue. I am grateful for whatever led me to this property where I have met some of the most amazing people. There is a sense of community I have never experienced anywhere I lived. I plan on continuing to be a part of it in the future.

Whether you are spiritual or not, manifestation is real and what you emit, you draw back onto yourself. I can choose to dwell in things that hold negativity or continue to exist in a positive space where I live in gratitude for whatever part of the universe worked to bring me home. This new start has been life changing and I’ve only been here two months. Thanks to my friend, I am reminded I control whether or not I continue to follow that path or allow myself to be pulled into darkness. I lived in darkness for fifteen years. I choose light. If you want to try it out, I’ll be adding resources wherever this blog ends up being rehomed.
