The more I meditate the more I am at one.
The more I focus the more I am at peace.
The more I go within the more I am connected.
The more I contemplate the more beautiful the world.
Why do I meditate? To know which way to go.
Where do I go? Where the great light tells me.
What proves my connection? The magical ways things come together.
Who is my best friend? The one who orchestrates it all.
So maybe I should meditate more to have more answers.
Perhaps I should contemplate what I love and watch it multiply.
What if my destiny and true calling lies within?
What if my perfect route can be easily seen?
What if when I see it The Universe is with me?
And what if what I need magically shows up?
If it has happened before, I know God is with me.
Why would I look for anything else?

Whether it is the answer that mysteriously reveals itself in your world, a sign telling you which direction to go in, or the help that arrives from the unexpected place, do not limit how God and the Universe shows up in your life. Many times God has a sense of humor and comes into our lives in the way that we least expect. The more we understand this concept the more we will see miracles and magic in our world.
From the book 30 Days of Metaphysics by Craig Kimbrough
My teacher used to ask “If God is nearer than hands and feet, closer than breathing, where are we going to find him?” Think about it. If God is nearer than hands and feet, closer than breathing where does that mean God is? Now we human beings tend to look outside ourselves for everything. Our happiness, our security, our self worth, you name it, we believe it is outside of ourselves. “Somewhere in the outside world that’s where I’m going to find it. There’s no way I can find it within myself”. We also tend to do the same with God. We look for God outside of ourselves. But the Kingdom of Heaven is within. If we could ever stop chasing the world, slow down, both in body and in mind, and sit still we’d be surprised at the results.
From the book 30 Days of Metaphysics and Miracles by Craig Kimbrough
As I read this month’s page from 30 Days of Metaphysics and Miracles, I was reminded that if God is nearer than hands and feet or better yet within, so is our answers, and all of our desired situations.

How can I find my true place if I waste time worrying about what others are doing?
How can I share my vision with the world, If I compare myself to someone else?
We can spend our whole lives chasing what we don’t really want
And find ourselves wondering, “What is it really all about?”
I have so much to do. How can I possibly get to it all?
I can see it clearly when I remove what is in the way
Getting that stuff out the way is the marvelous revolution we’ve been waiting on
So I close my eyes and let go, to live out my true destiny

Answer: During times of stress it can be difficult to meditate for sure. Maybe just prior to whatever is taking place in your world, you were able to sit down, meditate and feel good, blissful, and fulfilled. You may have even noticed that that good feeling carried on into your world after the meditation, and made for a great day. Now during the time of stress and difficulty, when you meditate, your mind just goes right back to the problem, and you may even be sad or angry before meditating and after. You may even sit down for a minute and try to concentrate and find yourself saying “forget it, this is not working.”
Here are a couple tips.
1. Change your walking meditation.
We are all meditating, or focusing on something, all day long. If you are thinking about what you don’t like all day, when you sit down to meditate, your mind will still be focused on that. So instead, throughout the day, think about and talk about the good in your world. Or think about and talk about possible good. Listen to and watch movies music etc. about good positive things, including people overcoming great challenges, maybe even miracles. Such focus and thoughts are preparing you for great meditation sessions.
2. Remind yourself and convince yourself that meditation and higher thoughts truly make a difference.
You can do this by talking to friends who meditate, about successes that seem to happen on account of meditation in the past. You can also read material dealing with others accounts on the power of meditation. Be creative and consider it to be an experiment. You will find that the more you find ways to convince yourself that it works, the more you will be shocked by how much you want to meditate, and the incredible results that follow. Many times, I remind myself of times in the past when I stepped up my meditations and the incredible results that followed.
If you try these two things, your meditations, and the results of your meditations should improve dramatically.

When we have trouble concentrating during meditation it’s usually because we are not meditating at all. Well we are meditating, but the problem is we are meditating on all the problems we perceive to be in our world. We sit down, say our mantra 2 times and start to think about our life. Of course this is not what we originally hoped for our focus to be on during meditation. We were hoping to let go of our world and find peace of mind, more happiness, ideas, and inspiration. So I have three tips to help out.
1. Change your walking meditation. Change what you think and talk about throughout the day prior to meditating sitting down. Keeping your mind on the positive and on higher possibilities is big. When you sit down to meditate. Your mind will gravitate to what you have been focusing on all day long.
2. When you sit down to meditate. First bring to mind your concerns worries hopes and dreams. Remind yourself that a force higher than you is taking care of them and you don’t need to figure out anything. The Universe will handle it all. Your sitting down to meditate is only helping you to move into that place where you can see it clearly. Also know that the answers can show up at any time, from any place. The Universe will handle how that happens.
3. When you sit down to meditate, see how many times you actually repeat your mantra. If you are using my video “How to Meditate with the Highest Form of Meditation” the beginning mantra would be A-U-M. After each A-U-M, count, for example say A-U-M then count 1, A-U-M then count repeat that mantra and cout 2. See if you get to 10. If you don’t, try again until you get to 10. After you reach 10, do not count anymore. Continue to repeat the mantra without counting. When you count, do not use your fingers. This brings your concentration below the eyebrow center. In the “How to Meditate video” I do not mention counting with each repetition up to ten. This is only for when having trouble concentrating.
You can even practice this mantra during your day when you are not sitting down meditating. You can do this when you are walking, driving, etc., with your eyes open of course. But when it is time to meditate, you do it with the eyes closed sitting down like on the download

Meditation is focus and we are constantly focusing on one thing or another. So whether we realize it or not, we are always meditating. Our present world and everything in it is a result of our focus or our meditations. When we say we want to learn how to meditate, we are actually saying we want to learn how to meditate in way that produces better results. These better results that we are looking for may be better health, greater success, a more relaxed harmonious life, or a deeper spiritual connection. All of these things can be experienced, by simply shifting our focus.
