________________
I realized that just as one meditation does not change all of who I am, so one good action does not change a pattern of negative actions, but it is a beginning. Each time I choose a positive action instead of a negative one, I am building a positive consequence, and a new pattern of positive actions that will little by little replace the negative pattern from the past. So in making positive choices I gradually free myself from the actions that made me unhappy.
Meditation makes all of this possible. I realized many years ago that meditation was and is the most important action for me to take to heal my Being. I also realized that I could work with affirmations daily, and they would be the seeds of future actions in the garden of my mind. Before meditation, I felt powerless over the circumstances in my life. Through meditation, however, I feel the power of being able to re-create my life with loving thoughts, loving words and loving actions.
Namaste,
