Stay Centered!!!

Dear Pathfinders,

As we all know, today’s world leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to privacy and finding a moment to yourself. Our high tech world keeps us on tight schedules, has us jumping to alarms, bells and reminder alerts from our cell phones and computers. Often, say the news reporters, we are sleep-deprived, depressed and overstressed. Because we live in a new world, per 9/11, we are now faced with new legislation that allows more of our privacy to be invaded, via national security issues.
With this kind of a lifestyle facing the majority of us, it is difficult to get a sense of privacy, security and sanctuary. The need to feel safe and to feel comfortable is strong, as many of us struggle to adapt to the pressure of these changes.
As metaphysicians, we all know the importance of finding an inner sanctuary, a mental space or physical space we can go to and recharge our spirit. Reconnecting with the Universe, i.e., the creative life-force energy that keeps us all connected to the One, is a necessity that cannot be ignored. Creating such a space or place is now more important than ever, as we need to consciously be aware that there is a creative life-force energy that is available for us to manifest our greatest hopes and dreams. This life-force is available for us to affirm, confirm and manifest our higher purpose and keep us on the path toward enlightenment and progression. We are here to uplift ourselves and one another. We are here to uplift the planet.
In order to create a sacred space in our lives, it is necessary to recall our right to privacy. Privacy is what allows us, as individuals, to make a connection to the divine. Privacy allows us to recharge our own energy and to center ourselves in peace. By centering in peace, we will become strong and empowered. This empowerment is what will always bring us back to peace and serenity in a world of turmoil.
Creating your sacred space means finding a time or place where you can go to meditate, listen to music or surround yourself with symbols or items that reflect inner peace in your world. You may want a small altar or just a favorite chair next to your stereo. You may want to establish a meditation area in your backyard. You may want to establish a fifteen minute time slot in your day in which you can devote yourself to raising your energy through meditation. The choice is yours.
These are old clichés, but true nevertheless, you can’t give to others when your own glass is half full. You can’t give what you don’t have. You cannot stay centered and balanced without taking the time to preserve your energy and rebuild it.

Blessings all, Robbi
