The most important daily practice is gratitude. Whenever someone comes to me with life challenges, or just wishes to grow spiritually, I recommend for them to start a gratitude journal. Every morning write 9 items that you are grateful for. I did mean write. Doing it in you head is different. Writing by hand has a different effect on the brain and imprints the thoughts deeper and more powerfully. Every thought that we have travels from us as energy in an infinity sign and picks up similar thoughts. Gratitude thoughts will attract more things to be grateful for.

Courage brings inner confidence and personal power. It is not dependent on an outside force. It is not dependent on others opinion or approval. To choose integrity and honesty is self-rewarding with an inner freedom. Our inner Self, our Spirit knows the truth. When we do not acknowledge the truth of our Spirit, we are drawn into the collective consciousness of our society for validation.

Meditation is not removing yourself from this world and going into a world of nothingness. It is active participation in beginning to understand ourselves.

We understand that when we give love we are tapping into the soul of our being. The heart opens. Our pure self filters through us in the form of love. This pure self, is our soul. It is our divine nature. It is the essence of our existence. When we give love that essence is tapped, and when it filters through us we feel happy.
