			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sit in comfortable pose with your spine straight on the floor or in a chair. With your eyes closed, concentrate on the heart, fill the heart with love. Breath long and slow through your nose. Bring your hands into prayer pose. Stay in this pose and think of someone you love very much and send that person love and healing. Take another deep breath and feel the energy move through your body project that breath towards the one you love. Take another deep breath and relax your hands to your side.<span id="more-613"></span></p>
<p>To enhance this meditation take two rose quartz and hold then; one in each hand. This will help with concentration as well as putting your intention on love. Rose Quartz is a wonderful stone for opening the heart chakra, for receiving love, and for giving love.</p>
<p>Towards the end bring in white healing light through the top of your head. Invision the light removing all negativity and thoughts. Let the light run through all areas of your body and release it through your feet towards the earth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Laughter Yoga (Hasyayoga) is a form of yoga employing self-triggered laughter. The &#8220;laughter&#8221; is physical in nature, and does not always involve humor or comedy. The idea was developed by Indian guru Jiten Kohi. It was made popular as an exercise routine developed by Indian physician Madan Kataria. <span id="more-1725"></span></p>
<p>Laughter is easily stimulated in a group when combined with eye contact, childlike playfulness and laughter exercises. Fake laughter quickly becomes real. Laughter Yoga brings more oxygen to the body and brain by incorporating yogic breathing which results in deep diaphragmatic breathing. Laughter Yoga is based on the concept that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter, both physically and mentally the results are the same.</p>
<p>Benefits of Hasyayoga:</p>
<p>- Enhanced immune system<br />
- Less depression<br />
- More oxygen flow to the body<br />
- Deduction in stress<br />
- Better sense of happiness and self<br />
- Supports cardio-vascular health</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s know wonder we can&#8217;t clear our thoughts with the consistent  challenges and stresses we deal with continuously. This is the million  dollar question I hear all the time. It is always easier said then done,  but by no means impossible. I like to tell people to take themselves  out of the freeway, and watch from the road. <span id="more-1646"></span>Our thoughts feel very  similar to a moving freeway. There are many thoughts, and not enough  time to deal with them all. When you watch from the side you can easily  let your thoughts pass by without giving them much thought at all. Of  course this approach takes practice and training just like everything  else.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1647" title="Mind_Clear" src="http://www.lilyoflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Mind_Clear.jpg" alt="Mind_Clear" width="480" height="360" /></p>

<p><strong>4 Top Ways to Practice a Peaceful Mind</strong></p>
<p>1. Make a conscious effort to put some time away each day to sit or lay down. Write a note to your self, keep an alert on your phone, or leave a message on your phone to remind you that you need time. This is really the first step until you&#8217;ve had enough practice to do it with out reminding. Start with 5 minutes each and everyday to sit in a quiet stop to just relax. Close your eyes and just focus your attention on breathing. You can even do this on your lunch break in your car if that is all the time you have.</p>
<p>2. Start writing. Writing is a very expressive part of you. It allows your mind to focus on your thoughts, and helps transfer them to paper. It is a great way to stay communicative with yourself. This also takes some practicing, especially if you feel you aren&#8217;t much of a writer. Remember you aren&#8217;t writing a novel for others to read- no perfection necessary. Leave a notebook next to your bed or desk so that it reminds you.</p>
<p>3. Meditate or listen to music. Meditation is very similar to finding 5 minutes a day to sit down. However, meditation can help you stay more focused on your goals and to show you that the stress you&#8217;re carrying is not as important as you imagined. If you have a hard time getting to a meditative state try finding a meditation CD for your needs. They make meditations CDs for everyone. You can find them in categories such as happiness, money, success, love and health.</p>
<p>4. Take up a new hobby or class in relaxation. If you have a hard time really staying focused find a coach or take a class in such things as yoga, life coaching, cooking, tai chi, or even a book club. When we work with others we often feel more inclined to keep it up, have better support and gain tools. Many local colleges and community centers offer these classes for their community. If you live further from the city you can join a club online.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This meditation is about letting go and replenishing your body with new beginnings. It takes only a few minutes, but it can be practiced just about anywhere.<span id="more-185"></span></p>
<p>Sit down in a quiet space. Close your eyes and imagine that all around you is covered in bright beautiful gold light. Feel your roots grounded to the core of the earth and your inner truth. Visualize a swirl of purple energy coming down from the top of your head and gently moving all obstacles out of your way as it makes it way down. Let this energy go all the way down into the earth. Breathe long and deep through your nose. Visualize your own personal star and energetic find it above you. When you reach it bring that star down through the crown of your head and all through your body. You will know when you have reached &#8220;your star&#8221; this star energetically holds all your information that you need.</p>
<p>-Blessings</p>
