Happiness

I've been listening to a lot of podcasts lately since I've been doing a lot of packing and unpacking. The other day I listened to Oprah's Soul Search Podcast episode with Eckhart Tolle who is the Author of A New Earth. He mentioned something about regret. He said to not regret anything that you have done in the past.  The person you were made the best decision with all of the learning and knowledge you had at the time. That decision helped you be who you are today and everything is as it should be. I love that- Everything is as it should be. Good luck today. Make it a good day! "You are not your mind."

My sister sent this to me and it touched my heart! I had an interesting experience the other day. I was meditating early in the morning. As I was meditating, I had a thought that I should ask, in prayer, who was with me. I did and the answer came "Rose, Robert and Abigail." These are the three babies that I lost from a miscarriage. I didn't see them with my physical eyes, but I felt their presence- sitting on the edge of our guest room bed, as young adults. They were happy, and pure. I felt that they loved me and they are watching over me. I want you to know that I believe in angels. I have had several experiences with angels when I was younger.

Lately I've been having kind of a rough time lately and so I've turned to other things to help me stay sane. Healthy things- not unhealthy things!!! One of those things has been meditation. I've always heard how good it is and my Dad really likes it a lot. I never felt strongly about it before.  A few weeks ago I started going to a Meditation group with some women from my ward (aka Church). For the first 30 minutes, we learn about certain health aspects/ benefits of meditating and the last 30 minutes we meditate. I learned a lot in those first 30 minutes and for the second 30 minutes, I thought there was no way I would be able to meditate for 30 minutes.  But I was! For the first class we watch a youtube video on " the inner smile" meditation and that gave us a guideline of what to think when you are meditating (you smile at your mouth, your head, your tummy, your feet, your neighbor, your world- working out). Try it out! (Dad, I think you would love it!)...
