Simple Everyday Spiritual Practice
What a week of conscious breathing! It's great to remember to remember. It is so awesome that a huge group is doing this and thanks for the awesome feedback! I created a facebook so we can share about how the practice is going, share and encourage others! And a blogspot too! I know you know someone who may benefit from a 'lil spiritual practice so forward this on if you like. Oh, and I'm working on a new look for this so it will be the same simple practice with a new face next week.
Simple Practice
Contemplation-thoughtful observation or study. Contemplation is a great way to get new insights into your perfection. Pick a word, phrase, scripture, quote, whatever you like and let it roll around in your mind for a week. How about this one-WHO AM I? Deep, huh? Happy contemplating!
Peace and love,

This week we are BREATHING!!
Of course we are breathing. But we're getting conscious about it. Check out this weeks Simple Everyday Spiritual Practice and let me know what you think. How was it? Did it calm you? Center you? Frustrate you? :) It's all good here.
Well for me, I actually practiced One Minute Breath yesterday for almost five minutes! One Minute Breath is where you inhale 20seconds, hold 20 seconds and exhale 20 seconds. Took me almost a year to build that up!
Whoo Hooooooooooooooooo (20 seconds on the hoooooooooo). :)

Week of 3/19 Reporting for Duty!
Everyday Spiritual Practice
Once a week I will be sending out a simple spiritual practice to incorporate into our days. I know that it can seem challenging to fit practice into our everyday lives so here's a simple way to begin building a life filled with spiritual awareness!
Simple Practice
When you wake up say, "Good morning Spirit, I'm reporting for duty!" If you remember throughout the day or in any times of tension you can say it again, "I'm reporting for duty God!" When I first heard this quote it tickled me so much I had to pass it along. So here I am "reporting for duty". :)
Peace and love,

Practice makes Perfect.

Week of 3/28 Just 3 minutes
Everyday Spiritual Practice
Wow, its almost April. I'm wondering how conscious have I been in these first three months of the new year.
Simple Practice
Set three timers in your cell phone/pda for random times throughout the day. Make sure they are at reasonable times, ie-not during usually scheduled meetings. When each timer goes off, stop whatever you're doing for one minute, breath deeply and and BE conscious, practice the Presence. What a way to slow down time with a simple 3 minute a day investment. :)
Peace and love,

Week of 4/5 Sing Your Truth!
Everyday Spiritual Practice
I hope those three minutes expanded time for you last week! This weeks practice is a direct result of the awesome Sacred Sound class tonight.
Simple Practice
Pick your favorite song and every time you hear it sing it as an affirmation of the Truth. And not just any song, the song that you sing with your whole heart when you're in the car by yourself. Sing it and vibrate the essence of your being. All is well!
Peace and love,
Harkirat~Gina
"We live in a sea of energy, energy vibrates."
-Yogi Bhajan
"You are vibrational beings..."

Week of 4/12/10 Take Time
Everyday Spiritual Practice
I am just returning from 5 glorious days in La Quinta, California, right near Palm Springs. Before I left I came across this:
"Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while." Mark 6:31
We were visiting friends and not alone but I did take some time by myself to rest a while. Even if it was only for a few minutes a day. We may not be able to physically vacation every day but we can take time away.
Simple Practice
Take the three minutes we did a few weeks ago and put them together. Close your eyes and see your favorite space. Picture it fully and completely, smell the smells, hear the sounds, feel how you feel there and for three minutes breath into this glorious place of rest that lives within us all the time. And if you're feeling expansive make it five minutes.....so nice to get a little space in the day.
Peace and love,
Harkirat~Gina
"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
-Howard Thurman
Let's start by creating our own space to feel what we love
and then watch ourselves come alive!

Simple Everday Spiritual Practice
Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. In my classes we always start with this and it is so amazing that we forget that Infinite intelligence is breathing us! At least I know I forget. Our emotions are intimately connected to our breath. Our breath, the Life Force can calm us, excite us or indicate our current state. Check it out randomly throughout the day. Change your breathing and change your mood.
Simple Practice
BREATHE! Seriously. Whenever you think about it (at your desk, in the car, before you eat, when you wake up) take a big deep breath....and then do it again....and again. You can even hold it in a few seconds, release, hold it out a few seconds and inhale and continue. Its pure magic. That good kinda natural easy magic that is happening right now...while you're reading this and not thinking about breathing. :)
