Mediation on Making a Decision
HOW TO ASSIST YOUR DECISION MAKING
When travel was slower and life required more uncommitted time there was opportunity to review. Today decision making is so often an intellectual exercise.
So, let’s create an environment a visualisation, create a space in a few minutes where decisions can be more effectively addressed. Find a quiet time, you must be undisturbed, and arrange yourself comfortably.
Now let your mind focus, focus on the screen of your imagination, see yourself, you are in a busy shopping mall, with many people and noise, hustle and bustle, clamour and business. Through this crowd you walk, shoulder to shoulder, pass bright lights, and shops. People getting shoulder massages, thriving food courts, cleaners with mops, piped music, foreign languages surround you. You are walking, walking towards an elevator, you step on and it takes you to a lower level, stainless steel glinting, a coloured lighted button, a downward lift opens. You step in and push the coloured button, the lift starts to descend. The floor lights flash past 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, G. The door slides open with a slight sigh, and you step out into a lighted foyer. .... Quietness. In front of you is a heavy adzed studded door of wood. A dark stained colour with brass fastenings. Your hand reaches out grasping the handle. You turn the handle and push the door open and walk through the open door way. The door closes behind you ... Quietness ... You are in a room. A large room. Empty. Make it as you will. Now start to build your space, what views, what balconies, windows, warm or cool. Cosy fire or a fresh breeze, from porch windows or doors. Now decorate your space. Use your emotions; reach down deep for feelings of comfort, security, relaxation, happiness. Reflect these in the development of your space.
Do you want a special companion who will come and go as you wish. Stretch out on the settee or carpet, chair or bed.
Be at peace, this is your personal space, no-one can enter without your bidding, it will be yours forever, you can visit it as you wish, the smells, sensations, and sights are available to you alone. Your place.
Now let your mind clearly define the question, the decision, (or stress). Staying in your space allow your mind to explore the reasons behind the decision, the possible outcome of each and every action you could take. Remember happiness comes from providing values in life. Which scenario will provide values for others, values for you, use your feelings, your brain (the computer) will process these. Allow time for the correct answer to evolve.
When ready, prepare to leave. Rise, gather your personals, close windows, door, attend to the fire, turn out your lights, open the door through which you came, into the foyer, into the lift, and up pass the floors as the lift rises 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. The door of the lift opens. You step out onto the elevator and rise again to the bright lights of the shopping mall, back with the hustle and bustle of the day. The clamour of society, the projection of our culture. For you there will always be your space, your retreat. You and only you have created it. As you move on you realise a freedom, any heaviness or depression is cut in half. Now action (in place of activity) can follow. The decision is made. Decisions right today may not be right “ tomorrow”. We are empowered to always make another decision.
(The word decision comes from the Latin word “ desisor” meaning “to cut in half”. How often the final relief from depression is the making of a decision)

Enjoy each day
TO AMPLIFY EXISTENCE
Today we experience life as we know it. Life with an endless succession of days, seasons, birthdays,
Christmas’s and years. Always there is another day season birthday or Christmas…
We can intellectualise, hope, believe, plan, and in so doing filling up today with distractions of yesterday or tomorrow. And thus miss out on experiencing the “preciousness” of life today, now, this minute.
Now you have to draw a chart of 870 squares, each square represents one month of your life (average life span of 72.5 years) to dig through the appearance to the essence of this experience put an X through however many months old you are now. The remaining is the time you have left to accomplish, experience, and create all you ever will in eternity.
This exercise will not work for you unless you actually, physically complete it and then reflect on what it means to you. If any aspect of health prevents you from fulfilling your time on the planet, physical mental, emotional or financial then deal to it now, do not delay nor neglect for you shall not stand again where you stand today.

Setting a climate for health.
Our modern lifestyle today incorporates immeasurable stresses on our bodies, to the extent that seldom does one factor alone stand in our way of achieving the health goals we desire.
It is estimated we encounter some 70,000 toxic and harmful chemicals in our environment, some 2,500 in our food chain. We all suffer from some degree of malnutrition. Maybe we drink alcohol (10 oz kills 10,000 brain cells), or smoke something. Our culture dictates stress as normal. Due to this, our body suffers as a whole, not a bit here or a bit there.
This blog site provides a thumbnail sketch of therapies to do daily battle with modern health issues, to help you understand what you can do, what can help. (Cancer now takes 1 in 3 people, 1 in 80 was the statistic at the beginning of last century). Your decision as to what to do will always remain yours. In considering this, take stock of each area; physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and material. Always recognising that in fact these areas are inseparable, and that the sum of the parts is greater than the total of the individual components.
Dreams are allowed and followed, nurture yours.
Recognise what may stop you achieving yours; change the circumstances, and move on to realise the potential of your life on this planet.
