Heart VS. The Mind

August 20, 2015 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

struggle photo In all battles in situations regarding the heart vs. the mind, go with your heart! The heart doesn’t lower itself to the contradictory, noisy, chatty thoughts of the mind. The heart just waits silently, quietly prompting us to take the high road in making life decisions. Many times our mind is so loudly complaining that we don’t even know that our heart is voicing to us as well.

It’s much easier for your mind to catch up with your heart, than for your heart to catch up with your mind. It’s our mind that wants to get even. It’s our mind that gets hurt. It’s our mind that sends us out in many directions to try to get the right answer. When in reality its the heart within us that does have the answers. But our minds don’t always like or want the answers the heart is giving us. So we dance… until one day we are ready to really allow ourselves to face what is going on. Waking up to what’s personally going on that’s called responsibility, and that’s when we take charge of our lives again.

I hope you are doing great. I’m working on many projects. I feel it’s time for changes and renovations. I feel that in all battles of the heart, the mind seems to speak out to us the loudest. Yet when one goes with what the heart is feeling/expressing, verses what the mind is controlling one to do…making our final decision from that heart base of the matter, is a much better course of action in the long run.

Change is inevitable in this life. It’s a constant here on the Earth plane. It’s easier to go with the flow of life. It’s the ego which sends us swimming upstream, which can make us very tired.

We get opportunities every day to clear the problems and toxic emotions in our life’s of course. Doesn’t it feel these days like many things are coming out to the surface at the same time?

From this point of view it seems imperative we awaken and stay more conscious and present. We need to remember that our subconscious mind memory keeps re-playing these patterns and stories. We have the power to transform our lives and set ourselves free from these grooves we keep repeating; if we take 100% responsibility for what is happening in our lives. In doing so we return power to ourselves to take charge of our lives in positive supportive directions.

We have free will, so we can also choose to keep suffering, complaining, blaming, seeing ourselves as a victim, etc. If that behavior makes sense to you, keep on doing it. Worst case scenario, you will have to repeat the same patterns. You have to come back, undo and bring problems back to balance.

Please, remember that you chose to come to this Earth plane, and before coming here, you chose your obstacle course to work out and the “difficult people” in your life, because those things would give you the opportunity to correct unresolved errors, to grow, to learn, evolve and transcend.

You also chose the most difficult school in the Universe (Earth). You made it, you had the privilege to have been chosen, and your teachers are constantly appearing in your life (your children, your boss, your mother in law…) But, now you are complaining?

You can find enjoyment and get everything you need while you do your job (erasing subconscious problems) to get to the next level. It’s your time now to re-member!

Now I am here to remind you and show you to keep alert to these inner callings to change. It can be easier than what you have been encountering. The way to start this change is to allow your mind to quiet. Meditate, close your eyes, and be aware of your breath going in and out. In quieting the mind you can get in touch with ‘Your True Self- Pure Consciousness’. From there changes occur and blessings flow into your life.

I have always been grateful for Aloha: which means…The Breath of God Is in Your Presence!

When our Heart, Mind and Spirit are in alignment without resistance…that’s when we achieve balance.

Easy Tips For Physical And Mental De-Stress

October 6, 2014 by Linda Crane 2 Comments

Stop “trying” to eat healthfully START doing it 100%. Why? because “trying” to do something can be stressful. Feeling good and healthy is a large part of “Living The Good Life”. We learn about this when we aren’t feeling well. Not eating well causes us to struggle mentally and physically. Eventually we will have to get more creative to regain what we may lose from less healthy habits. This can cause that emotional roller-coaster which produces fatigue and feeling drained from those highs and low’s. By choosing more healthy foods to keep your life on a better even track, you can meet challenges in your daily life more “easily and stress free” to accomplish your goals. Less stress and more peaceful living is of great value for experiencing more happiness each day.

“Easy Tips” for Physical and Mental De-Stress Each Day.

On the physical health side: It’s known that we are products of our environment, our thoughts and our habits. “Think a thought, sow an act…Sow an act, reap the habit,…Sow the habit, reap the character,… Sow the character, reap the destiny.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

I like Dr. Joel Fuhrman M.D. and agree with what he says about eating nutritiously for health:

“This will take strength and effort, but the pleasure and rewards will be priceless”!

1. “Go Cruciferous“! Cruciferous vegetables are your best defense for fighting cancer! Examples: broccoli, cauliflower, kale, brussel sprouts, cabbage, bok choy, arugula, collard greens, daikon, mustard greens, kohlrabi, radishes, rutabaga, turnips, watercress.

2. Salad is the main dish – and the secret to successful weight control and a long healthy life.

3. Low-nutrient foods fuel overeating behavior – “Flood Your Cells With Nutrients”!

4. Eat For Health…put an end to type II diabetes or heart disease – and get off medications! Dr. Joel Fuhrman M.D.

For Mental De-Stressing:

Take a “5 Minute Fix of silence and quiet” to enhance your mental focus and happiness. Give your brain a chance to be off duty…by inviting more quiet into your busy life. This will assist you in being more productive while making healthier decisions.

If you lose those moments to de-stress then you also lose the chance to process and integrate things you have learned… heard… and done. Helpful ideas show up when you turn off the noise. Many people get good insights when taking a bath or while taking a shower without any distractions.

You’ll discover as I did that without distractions; you will have more space to think, relax, brainstorm, and enhance your ability to move toward achieving those things that make you feel happy.

The Following Points Are Helpful For Me:

1. Turn down the volume and stop living with chronic noise.

These are some small changes that give my brain the opportunity to focus and reflect, so I can make healthier decisions. When we turn down the volume we can tune into another person and experience a connection in a relationship that we can’t get from a life awash with noise, chatter, and distractions.

2. Take regular breaks from social media just 5 minutes at a time helps to allow more quiet time into my life. This helps me to be calmer and more energetic.

Constant noise around us adds to the rise of blood pressure and it affects how well we remember things too. Studies on quiet and the brain show that in a noisy environment (ex: a crowded restaurant) affect short term memory in that it becomes overloaded, because the brain circuitry that processes recall and speech is the same one that handles noise. Ever notice that when you are driving and you become lost you’re likely to turn down the volume on the radio? That’s because when it’s noisy in your environment it’s tougher to concentrate and find your way. It works the same way for trying to find your way in life…when there are too many distractions it’s harder to focus, plan properly, and delays occur for coming up with the right solutions.

If you are usually distracted by TV, background noise, or a vibrating cell phone, you miss out on your brain being off duty. Usually when my brain is quiet I come up with those great hunches. When your brain is constantly going it is much harder to process what you have learned, you are less attentive to what you have heard, what you have done, and your recall is not as sharp.

3. When less distracted and less stressed you’re more likely to keep up positive habits. Here are a few ways to invest in calmness:

When you are first driving out in your car wait 5 minutes before turning on the radio.

Instead of flipping on the TV right away you can choose what to read by getting your news on line. It’s better than being forced to process all the days distressing range of stories to watch and fear.

The following has never failed me for decades. This is my knowing that has become my personal program so I don’t have to tune into the media hype all the time. You may want to try my approach. Be positive and consistent with this for it to work for you as well.

I just know and believe, that I will find out everything I need to know… at just the right time I need to know it…and will be able to do whatever I have to do… with plenty of time to do it.

4. Set Boundaries for yourself. Example: Refrain from checking your phone during meals. You’ll digest your food much better. Without constant threats of interruptions your more inclined to do something productive for your brain like daydream to invent design your present and future.

5. Meditate which is about quieting the mind and helps you to get inspired. In order to have new fresh ideas come to you…give your mind calm quiet moments. Take deep…relaxing…slow…belly breathes in through your nose…and out through your mouth…to experience calmness, and feel more centered. This will enhance your health and focus.

And when you are eating foods packed with nutrients, and include the mental habits to achieve happiness and calm; you’ll become more inspired and productive. Your brain will love it too.

Life’s small moments can only add up to something more meaningful when you give yourself the chance to reflect on them!

Depression and Anxiety

August 23, 2013 by Linda Crane 2 Comments

Depression and anxiety is so prevalent today. Life is full of stress, and our time for ourselves can be very limited with all our daily demands. But let’s take a look at this in a different way.

Your job can be an expression of who you are, but your job is not who you are.

Your car is not who you are, it’s a vehicle to get you from point A to point B. You purchased it with many factors in mind. Your car is an expression of what you chose at the time of purchase for whatever reasons. You may enjoy what you drive or you may not.

Your looks are not who you are, not even your body, is who you really are. It also may have changed from what you looked like last year, or what it looked like years ago. So that’s definitely not who you are.

The mistakes you have made in your life (and we have all made mistakes) are not who you are. Those situations are just your experiences for growth to know your own truth as you journey through your life path. These happenings bring stress, but they are meant to give you wisdom.

But your Spirit within you never changes. It’s constantly there waiting for you to get in touch with it and express it in your life which reduces depression and anxiety. The Spirit is that part of the Divine that you really are.

A great way to minimize, reduce or diminish depression and anxiety is to calm the mind and body through meditation. I believe we should live each day going through a living, working, meditation through all our activities. It’s not necessary to sit and meditate for long periods of time each day to get results. In the western world we don’t even have the time for these activities. But once you get in touch with your Spirit through a simple meditation process you can learn to focus in your life with more clarity and purpose through your daily activities. Then your Spirit moves with you through your life guiding and giving you answers and direction to achieve your goals.

Yes, this realization is so BIG, VAST, and ENDLESS..., yet you have been housing your Spirit all your life. It is worthy of you to give your Spirit its special recognition and attention. In doing so it will reward you in countless ways with blessings. Many times it will give you the wisdom to lessen, eliminate your depression and anxiety. And that’s worth $millions$ in you life.

Spirit is a gift to you from the Divine that keeps on giving. We all want acknowledgement to some degree, likewise it is wise of you to hang out and spend some time with your Spirit…that wise teacher within that can alleviate depression and anxiety from your life.

You are on a journey, just trying things out, seeing what fits for you, what you like. Noticing what you don’t like, and what doesn’t fit for your self expression… because you can, because we all change, because things in life are temporary, and because it’s all on the way to your growth, so you can flourish to your betterment.

Your experiences occur to elevate you. There is meaning from what you have been going through. When understood these experiences help you evolve and makes you more consciously aware. It’s immensely valuable to not have to repeat the same situations over again. Repeating negative behaviors makes you feel like you are at the beginning starting all over again. It does not have to be that way. Wisdom can be received from your experiences.

So RELAX on your journey…the calmer you are, the calmer you become…synchronicity starts to happen… and you will just keep getting better and more empowered. And the by product is… the elimination of your depression and anxiety. It’s worked for many others. It can work for you too. You may have heard the expression, “The Sky Is The Limit” meaning there are no limits… that’s just like the real you and what you can do.

Get out of your own way. Allow your mind to get out of your way, and really enjoy this richness and reap your benefits. It’s a settling, nurturing feeling to be in touch with your Spirit.

Adding your LIGHT to the world…IS a meaningful self expression!

If you would like to learn how to communicate with your inner self, benefit from, reduce/relieve your depression and anxiety, and get more in touch with your Spirit, you can purchase my Meditation CD download, Honoring Spirit at: www.LindaCrane.com.

Also, this is a great gift idea to give for any Special Occasion, Birthday, Holiday, or for that Special Someone in your life.

Healing Therapy

February 20, 2013 by Linda Crane Leave a Comment

“Would you like to experience a spiritual visualization meditation”? If so, then the following process is a good form of healing therapy. There is no cost or prescription required. And it may help you to align with your life purpose.

As you attune within, and indulge yourself often into this vortex of creation, clearing, and plenty, its healing therapy, and vibratory frequency will shift you into a positive direction and raise your level of consciousness.

To familiarize yourself with each point of this energizing meditation; it’s best to go through the entire post before beginning.

We can get out of balance so easily each day. In this meditation you will become acquainted with a large 6 pointed star that generates an extremely, intense bright blue/white Light. It is intense in vibrant color, but not in heat. In fact, it’s very comfortable and inviting to be in its presence. The creation meditation that you are about to explore is an easy, fast, and potent process for realigning positive experiences back into your life! And this happens naturally as you work with this healing therapy. As you continue doing this fresh, invigorating, clearing process, this vortex of creative plenty will continue to be a blessing in your life.

It’s recommended that you allow yourself a few minutes for each part of this clearing meditation. To see results; it’s best to be in a quiet place where you feel comfortable without distractions, in a comfy chair, or propped up on your bed, so not to fall asleep. Your intention is to stay awake, be accepting, and to do the meditation for 5-10 minutes. That’s all that is required.

FYI: Power is built up doing the visualization over days. My suggestion, and what has worked for others, is that you give it your good try for at least 9 days. Why 9 days? The number 9 holds within it the vibrations of accessing information and wisdom, through to completion, from meditation, going within, and receiving guidance towards your desires and goals.

A by product of doing this meditation for some people has been a diminishing feeling of impatience as a result of doing this process. There’s no time limit on how long you can work with this visualization meditation. In a month you could have a new dynamic set in your life. The sales advertisement jingle for winning the lottery comes to mind. It states the phrase, “you have to be in it to win it”. The same holds true about receiving results from this meditation. It’s your choice to put some energy into doing the process.

Note: Respect yourself by not doing this visualization while working, driving, reading, watching t.v., or playing heavy loud music. No subliminal music during the meditation please. None of these is beneficial for your outcomes while in this visualization process. In some cases soft instrumental background music is acceptable, if necessary. Sacred energies do best on your behalf, when you give them your attention.

Healing Therapy Meditation

Let’s begin by reading on, and stating to yourself or out loud: ‘I am now ready to receive a divine clearing of energetic transformation on every level of my being. I ask that this healing be for me, that I am safe, and this is for my high good. May I live my divine purpose. And So It Is’!

You begin this meditation by engaging your senses that are just right for you: by imagining, visualizing, sensing, feeling, or just allowing yourself to know, that a bright, large, 6 pointed star is spinning at the top of your head. This star is now becoming a vortex of a very bright bluish/white Light. This vortex spins in just the perfect direction for your particular needs after it enters through the top of your head and then through your energy systems. You may notice that this vortex may change direction after awhile from that point, as it moves through your energy fields. Sometimes it spins in a circular motion to the left and somethings is spins to the right.

Imagine that this great power of Light is in the shape of a vacuum funnel moving in a counter clockwise direction down through the top of your head and travels into every cell, tissue, muscle, organ, sinew, and space within your entire body. As you allow this Light in, it becomes part of your being as it merges with you in this clearing spiritual meditation.

Now start to become aware of a spiraling dazzling blue/white Light vortex of energy that is moving slowly through your mind. It’s presence is extremely comfortable, potent and nurturing, and it surrounds you. Allow this moment to be just for you. It’s simple, and without any rushing….just be there in the embrace of this beautiful Light.

As this spiraling vortex energy of love completely engulfs you for a few moments with it’s healing essence, the Light gracefully moves through your emotions, bringing with it calmness and peace; while at the same time it releases your stress and pent up emotions.

Now just bathe in that lush, soft, and potent energy vortex. It feel so freeing. It feels so good. You may feel as if it’s almost too good to move on from this abundant, powerful, gentle, and healthy place. So stay a while longer if you wish!

This energy vortex will know just the right moment to move forward into its next destination; which is, whatever area in your life that you are experiencing problems right now. You don’t have to know all the details. Allow it to help you. This is your time…so rest into this loving healing therapy.

This energy vortex of sparkling blue/white Light is all wise and it knows how to assist you. Imagine that your blue/white Light is very perceptive and has the answers for your next steps, the next directions for you to make progress in your life. This blue/white Light carries foresight and wisdom. It is your guiding energy for whenever you call it forth, and just relax in it, to help you with its gifts.

This Light encompasses all healing vibrations of just the perfect energies that you require.

Welcome forth the strength of this healing energy now, in the same way you would ‘welcome your favorite celebrity’!

Invite it to now move through your energy field, to move freely around your physical body, releasing, dissolving, and clearing up all that has been negatively affecting you. This tremendous vibration of energy has your best interests in mind and heart. It’s purpose is to unleash and bring forth your good will and blessings.

The “powerful star vortex” has a stillness and calmness about it that is all its own. It absorbs and cleans like a vacuum for you; as it now pulls out, and dissolves the mental, emotional, and/or physical pain you have encountered. It dissolves tension, frustration, and problems from the lower negative vibrational frequencies that have been held within and around you.

Now visualize, or meditate by seeing, knowing, and feeling that the debris in your mind/body and life are now being ‘loosened and swept up’ through this vortex vacuum, (its energy has a similar look of a funnel tornado), sucking up into the vortex your negative, unwanted energies into the clearing blue/white Light. Yes!!! It feels really good to now bloom, expand, and breathe!

Your work is to enjoy “relax and let go“ into this blue/white vortex of Light. State to yourself that you request these spiritual healing energies, and that you are accepting the positive good that is working through you now. Take a few minutes to enjoy this experience!

Receive the Grace, and Love that you have activated from these higher frequencies of Divine Abundance, Well-Being, Truth, Trust, and Peace stirring now within you. Sense your feelings!

You will know when this vacuum of blue/white Light has finished its clearing for you. Trust this process as it moves through you. You may feel lighter, like a weight has lifted from you, or you can have a multitude of different experiences unique to only you through this clearing.

Before this meditation comes to its close; imagine that these plentiful good energies from within you, are being shared, and absorbed, down into the Earth from the soles of your feet. This assists you in grounding yourself back with Mother Earth.

Upon completion of this meditation, you will have the impression or idea that this clearing process is completed for the day. Now take a few moments to slowly bring your attention back into your space and body. It’s important to take a few steps, and walk about after this experience to center yourself. Stretch and move your body. It’s a good ideas to take notes afterwards on how you felt and what you experienced. Each time you do this meditation you may receive a bunch of different information. Taking some notes is helpful to recall your journey. It’s interesting what you may find. Enjoy your day!

Further comments on this visualization meditation:

Life does not have to become continually difficult. The meditation is simple and straight forward. This clearing beautiful blue/white star vortex of Light, holds the qualities of truth, and freedom that comes forth from the Divine Creator/God. It will instill within yourself, a higher vibrational healing frequency. This will assist you in eliminating health issues. This is a healthy adjunct while working with your physician.

We all have the power to open, deepen, and sharpen, our unique inherent abilities to work within us for self empowerment, and to get assistance when needed. As a race of humans beings we experience greater awareness to enhance our potential. We are more in touch with our abilities to open and access more advanced energy frequencies then in our past history to transform our dross into light.

By absorbing, and allowing the vibrational essence of this 6 pointed star vortex of blue/white Light energies into your being; it equates to giving a gift to yourself. This generous, loving, warm, caring, healing vibration will clear away, and depart from your energetic system; the self sabotage, and outworn patterns of behavior.

These fabulous energies for healing good, allows you to step forward to greater tangible awareness for your life’s vision. (This is about that vision you were not able to make tangible before).

Repressive energies occurred because of feeling stuck, a lack of your heart being opened to the proper degree, lack of acceptance of yourself completely, lack of awareness, requiring better understanding, judgmental attitudes, and lack of self-forgiveness of what has been present.

The lack that plagues your life can be better understood by its characteristics likened to that of dark thick grime on windows. That film is the toxic energies, of worry, doubt, fear, anger, jealousy, guilt, blame, pride, grief, and lack of confidence and self trust.

This visualization clearing will enhance greater harmony into your life. Once you have your vision, a blueprint in place, you can begin to bring your abilities forward and the pieces will form into your life much easier. Everything moves forward from one small step at a time.

The 6 pointed star meditation, is a “sacred spiritual tool” that I experienced while being inspired and guided from the Divine Creator. With every new journey you are always given the means to meet and prosper from the challenges. Particularly now with the financial, economic, environmental, and political shifts happening in our world, as well as, those shifts within your personal world; you are to claim your heritage of happiness and abundance.

There has now come into this earth plane a new evolutionary cycle that began on December 21, 2012. Now it has taken hold and is underway in 2013. Your growth, our Country’s growth, and planet Earth’s evolutionary development has new choices before us. Do you like the choices that are before you? If not, this healing therapy will assist you to change them.

Here are some shared responses from doing this healing therapy meditation:
