Live The Life You Dream Of…

I read an interesting chapter in one of my meditation books this morning about time and I thought I would summarise it for you.

Sir Isaac Newton set up the view of time as an absolute thing. A second was a second, no longer, no shorter.

Einstein presented the theory of relativity. He said that to measure time you need clocks and all clocks move, so therefore time is dependent on movement.

Newton’s theory is that time is passing by, independent of whatever is happening; whereas Einstein said that time is a measure of our activities.

This can help us all in practical terms. If we take a Newtonian view and see time as rigid, then we become time’s servant and rush around doing as many activities as we possibly can to cram into every minute.

If we take on Einstein’s view and see time as elastic, then speed is going to govern how fast time seems to be moving. If I slow my thoughts down, time will appear to expand. If I speed up my thoughts, time contracts. By simply leaving a space between thoughts, you can be aware of your thoughts and of the free spaces. As soon as you are aware of these peaceful spaces then you feel as though you have time to spare.

Newtonian time is the time which governs the physical world around us, but through Einstein’s view we can experience a timeless expanse.

The information is taken from a chapter in Practical Meditation by Brahma Kumaris and I hope you can also appreciate this notion of time and try to use it a little today to add some extra space and time to your day.

With love,

Bindi

‘Live the Life you Dream of…’ Programme

A 10 week programme designed to guide you through the techniques and processes you need to achieve the goal or aim you have for the 10 weeks.

Week 1: Introduction to the programme

Call no. 1 is 1.5 hours with introductions, what people want to achieve and a look at our present life satisfaction and balance.

Week 2: Values

Call no. 2 is 1 hour long with a look at our values and making sure that they are aligned with the objective we want to achieve.

Week 3: Limiting Beliefs

Call no. 3 is 1 hour long with a look at limiting beliefs and how these could be blocking our progress. We will work through some methods of letting these limiting factors go and gaining more self-confidence in ourselves.

Week 4: Setting Goals

Week 5: Attaining Goals

Week 8: Motivation Boost

Call no. 8 is 1 hour long and is a question & answer chance for any queries which have come up and a general motivation call.

Week 9: Call to Action

Call no.9 is 1 hour long and looks at any calls to action there are still needed to be done for anyone to still achieve – by this point most people will be on their way to attaining their goal if they have not already done so.

Week 10: Conclusion

Call no.10 is 1.5 hours long and concludes the 10 week programme. Everyone has a chance to give their progress so far and how they intend to move forward in the future.

If you have not completely achieved your aim or goal by the end of the 10 weeks you will definitely be on your way to doing so.

I hope everyone is having a good start to the week.

Last week was a bit turbulent for me as my aunt passed away and it made me think of life and how we must all make the most of it. We never know how long or how short our life may be, but if we make each moment count and each moment precious it will be the best it can be. So I’d like to highlight a few points on how to make each moment count

1. Love what you do. Whether you are doing your dream job or in the processs of taking steps to do it, love it. If you are a full time mother and housewife, love that you make your home happy for your family and can care for them. If you are the breadwinner, love that you can provide for your family so that they get the best they can.

2.  Don’t think of your value as your job title, but what you are giving to the world. Does your job title really matter? Think of the value you are giving to others and what enjoyment they have from being in your presence. These are the things which people like about others and remember; people rarely remember a job title.

3. Tell your loved ones often that you love them and what they mean to you. Bring more love into your life and into others by being open and generous with your love. This means telling your partner often that you love them and telling your children and family.

These are three short, quick ways of making your moments more precious. Go out and enjoy today, meet a friend or have a relaxing bath. Do something you love.

Please do feel free to add your own ways of making life precious in the comments and I hope to connect with you soon,

I did my yoga routine this morning to a clip from www.yogatoday.com and it was titled ‘an attitude of gratitude’ and my article for Magnify You this month has also been on gratitude so I thought it was the right topic for today’s post.

What are you grateful for? Can you name three things right now and really feel the gratitude you have. My feelings on gratitude stem from the ‘law of attraction’ in that what we think, we get more of….so if we are grateful about the things in our lives, the more likely we are to get more of them.

In order to really know our gratitude it is important to be conscious and aware of every moment of our lives. To take the time to look at nature and be grateful for the seasons and flowers budding… leaves changing colours…the moon cycles. The more in the moment and the present you can live or let yourself live, the more you will find to be grateful for. If you find yourself continuously looking at the past to past events which have made you unhappy…that unfortunately is what you will get more of. Also do not worry about the future; the better you can make your present mind and attitude, the better your future will be naturally.

So please take the time out today and think of three things you are grateful for and if you can write them down and see them daily for a few days and then write some more

Today I am grateful for my loving husband Jay, our beautiful house by the sea and the wonderful, new friends we ‘re making in the area.

Have a wonderful day,

Hello Everyone,

We all want and strive to reach our potential in life. But do you really know how to do it? Here are some tips to help you on your way:

1. Know yourself fully

The more you can know yourself – your likes, dislikes and your opinions, the easier it will be to reach your potential. No two people are the same. You are your own unique person and you need to live your life in your own unique way.

2. Know your values

Knowing your values is an essential step in reaching your potential. A lot of the time we go through life according to other’s values. One’s we have learnt and taken on as our own from parents, society and school. To know your true values, take a look at your life and what you enjoy doing and what is difficult for you – this will aid you in discovering your values.

3. Believe in yourself

To reach your full potential, you must have belief in yourself. If there are any limiting beliefs holding you back, these need to be dealt with and a clear belief in yourself created to reach and achieve your potential.

4. Good self-confidence

There needs to be strong self-confidence in yourself and your abilities in order for you to reach your potential. There are numerous ways in which to increase your self-confidence including positive affirmations, positive thoughts and meditation.

These are just a few tips, I will elaborate on them more in my series of tele-classes starting in September. If you want to know more or register in advance, please e-mail me and I will give you some more details: bindi@anamaya.net

Please feel free to comment and add any tips you may have.

Have a lovely day,

The talk on inspiration and building self-confidence went really well and it has inspired me as well to publish my main tips of increasing self-confidence, so stay tuned! I’ll probably publish as an article first.

Jay, my husband, has gone to the London Guitar Show. I’m sure he’ll be marketing himself there and for some reason, today has worked out as a marketing day for me too! I’ve listened to a call about websites and optimising your website to drive traffic to it and realised that my site is not great as this I am going to embark on a 28 day programme to change this…so pop back in mid-July and see lots of changes to the main website www.anamaya.net and maybe the blog too.

I’ve learnt a lot in the past two weeks about marketing myself and staying focused. I think I was trying to do too much and it had become overwhelming. I am now focusing on a limited number of strategies and doing these well and CONSISTENTLY – something I learnt from my Athena networking lunch. It is great being able to use these processes and being inspired myself by the results I am getting as it is this inspiration and confidence I am sharing with and teaching to my clients. I’ll have a confidence building workshop soon!!

Have a fantastic weekend and ‘live the life you dream of..’ -  you know you can!

I am achieving everything on my to-do list and it is down to a simple timetable. I am amazed at how disciplined I can be when it is written down in front of me!! If anyone wants to know more, please do ask…

As I mentioned in my last post, I was book writing this weekend. I did the first draft!!! It is all hand written, so still have to type it and then decide how to publish, but I am so thrilled that it is actually real!! I have wanted to do this in a while and am just so happy about it. I do believe it is down to the life coaching techniques I am using on myself. If you want to achieve something you’ve wanted for a while too, please do get in touch. I offer a free taster to start with so you can get to know me and see  if we gel! I will also describe the ‘Live the life you dream of…’ programme so you know what it is all about. If you want to pursue the programme after that, we set a date for the call and start getting you to where you want and deserve to be!! It will truly be a wonderful experience and I can’t wait to enjoy it with you.

If you do have any questions and want to ask them personally, then e-mail me on bindi@anamaya.net. I look forward to hearing from you.

Have a wonderful day,

I just got back from a lovely walk on the beach and realised how ideal my life is and also how different it is from the life I was living less than one year ago! It really is possible to dramatically change your life for the better. You need clear goals to focus on and also a clear vision. A lot of the clarity can be gained by meditation and from living towards your personal values.

I would say the first place to start foranyone wanting to accomplish their dreams or even know what their dreams are, is to write down their values. Think through your typical day, week and month and write the things which make you happy, when you are the most relaxed, when you laugh. You may also want to write down the things you do not want and the things you want could be the opposite of those. But remember you attract what you send out, so don’t spend much time focusing on what you don’t want, just use this as a trigger to think of what it is you do want!!

I hope that was not too confusing for you ) Please do get in contact for more information or a coaching session on the ‘live the life you dream of..’ programme.

Enjoy the rest of the day xxx

I was on a seminar this morning about the expansion of business and the topic of values came up…those who are close to me know that this is VERY close to my heart! It is amazing to know that there are so many people who do live their life according to their values but equally important is the people who need to start living to their values. Doing this truly does enhance all aspects of your life! If you want to know more about values and living to them, please contact me…let’s begin your journey to your dream life!!

Hi Everyone,

I’m just about prepared for the networking event tomorrow..looking forward to it. I’ve also got to grips a bit more with twitter!! Just need to add a photo! I’ll share all my knowledge with you on the ‘Live The Life You Dream Of..’programme so you won’t have to trudge through heaps of websites finding out the info yourself!! Join me whenever you want for your free taster to see if it is the programme for you.
