Meditation practices have been garnering much attention lately, even in the corporate worlds, not just the monasteries.  Meditation helps us gain emotional balance, access a deeper knowing about how to handle the stress in our lives and gifts our bodies a break from the day-to-day grind.
 
The mind can be anywhere, but the body is always present.  Meditation brings us back out of our minds and into the present moment.  “Back to life, back to reality.”  As the Soul to Soul song goes.
 
A key reason why awareness and presence are so powerful, healing and restorative for people, is that they help us to eliminate fantasy and return safely to reality. 
 
Fantasy and illusion trump people’s success.  To see truly is where our true power lies.
 
Mastery Tip of the Week:  Do one thing each day to give yourself quiet time, allow yourself to return to reality, undistracted and note each enthralling benefit.

5. Epiphanies.

The energy behind feeling and being grounded is truly empowering!
