One thing that I honestly believe has been taken for granted nowadays (At least I can admit to it), is that we, (I), didn't meditate or even pray as much as I should. I was numb or conditionally you know the usual :

1) Being Thankful for the Day and your LIFE:

2) Scared about something

 I was doing, did, or had done

3)Wanting Something:

4) Always be In the Need of Something

And then; I was Praying like a DURRACELL RABBIT.

I'm sure that we have all found ourselves in situations or circumstances which the solutions going to have to be solve within...…self and sometimes there maybe a time or two when you may have to rely on YOURSELF and this is when you will KNOW.

 THIS IS WHEN PRAYER MEETS MEDITATION.

YOUR BALANCE IN LIFE

H=Healing

Y= Yourself thru

Meditation  

YOU CANNOT DO ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER.

My Mother always said that I could never be punished because even if I were in the corner by MYSELF I WOULD STILL HAVE FUN... I guess it is in my Nature to be a Motivator and a Service to the Community or in the Public. In my Life's years I've enjoyed those times as: A Wife, Mother, Daughter, Friend, Cousin, Student, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, Great Aunt, X'3 (HallaluYah) Niece, Great Niece, Beautician, Housekeeper, Admissions Assistant Executive Administrator Assistant, CSR Trainer, Human Resource Admin. Facilitator, Dietary/Cook, Business Asst. Administrator, Comedian, . and yes these jobs although I love every last one of them they all have landed me in some form of headache or heartbreak a time or two each resulting in poor health and I'm sure someone can agree to this. However, it wasn't until my HUMBLING moment and although I was bitter at the time I did not know this at the time. "To Thy own-self be true"   I just KNEW that this was NOT ME and the Books told Them I was Fat and I needed to Stop Smoking: yet, I had to take over 32 prescribed meds WAS TOLD that several years prior, I HAD A HEART ATTACK AND AN EYE STROKE which lead  up to 7 Leaser surgery's within my left eye. BI-Lateral Carpal Tunnel Surgery, Tremors, Fibromyalgia, and Bone on Bone Deterioration on both knees plus they wanted to add hip surgery as well.

However, the main focus: OBESITY, no matter what size you are especially if you are DEPRESSED, DISABLED, and DIVORDED.....AND....ALLL, I needed to do is stop smoking and LOSE WEIGHT .... This was all The MATTER to their MINDS. Then the day came when this Consultant told me that I had the saddest look on my face that she's ever seen in her

"LIFE "

 Can you imagine how I broke down in her office, I was at my end, deep within myself I knew that I was Not living "My True Self" and that's when:

THE INFINITE ONE SAID: "PEACE BE STILL"

I Became Peace: To Be Peace : To Balance Peace :ALL these things combined brings 

**RYTHYM, HARMONY,AND UNITY**

You must keep in YOUR MIND THIS is not a race, a competition, Nor game so you have NOTHING TO PROVE... only to yourself and you will know when it (Change, Growth, Development) happens.

Until I found this out, I did NOT know just how much of a powerful impact that meditation Daily along with prayer has definitely affected my attitude and life as a whole. You have nothing to prove to anyone, its not a race not a competition,

 

As far as breathing techniques, I speak for MYSELF and being an asthmatic since I was 6 years old and heard and or know every deep breathing and steaming technique's there is to MAN however, due to its adversities Allergies, i am unable to defend myself from all of the Natural life's essences' and fragrances which could flare my immune system. And going through my share of inhalers breathing in chemicals and the side effects of these things with allergic reactions being the adverse to asthma, isn't the best dualities you'd want to experience as a child, teen, or adolescent, so by the time you reach your Adult life you've learned what all don't kill you makes you stronger EACH 1 TEACH 1  and WE ARE NOT HERE TO BE ALONE

One way or the other we need each OTHER 

  I'm still going through my journey however, I can tell you THIS: IT TRULY WORKS IF YOU WORK IT...

I have lived by life by what EXACTLY WHAT I BELIEVE IN NTR WHICH STANDS FOR: N=NATURAL,

T=TRUTHFUL,

R=REALISTIC 

NOTE: This is not YOUR REALITY for WE CAN'T HAVE IT OUR WAY THAT WOULD BE A LIE....

In order to RECEIVE you must GIVE

FAITH with out WORKS is DEAD
In order to Love SOMEONE we must Love OURSELVES

In order to View SOMEONE you must 1st take a view at OURSELVES

  I CAN NOT BE BEAUTIFUL IF YOU UGLY (Ugly starts from within its only an act not a look only if you make it that way from constantly acting such. FROM THE INSIDE) we are not here to be judge by one another we are her to let our lights SHINE.
