Is Your Type-a Personality Getting in the Way of Your Meditation Efforts?
By:
Jonni Gray
Friday, May 04, 2012
The Type-A personality is all masculine and goal-oriented, and therefore has pretty high 3-dimensional expectations. And since meditation has more of a feminine orientation - experience rather than accomplishment - it can be difficult to appease the Type-A. Yet it's because of the typical imbalance that the Type-A needs the feminine access. Our feminine side is all about senses, depth, experience, emotional, engagement, present moment, and our masculine is about direction, goals, future, projection, physical. Love is an experience of our feminine. And meditation and love have even more in ...

7 Life Needs, Solved (Thanks to Meditation)
By:
Jonni Gray
Thursday, Apr 19, 2012
I bet you know there is more to life than meets the eye (1). And I also bet you want to understand its secrets, its depth, its essence (2). You want more clarification and understanding of what’s happening in your life (3) and what’s preventing you from creating the life you want (4). So what’s your greatest challenge? Accessing those insights (5) ? Trusting those insights (6)? Putting those insights into practice (7)? Let me make a suggestion: When you meditate daily you start to cultivate those very things you want and gracefully move through the challenges. A daily ...

What Does it Mean to be Accountable?
By:
Jonni Gray
Thursday, Apr 05, 2012
Let’s face it: most of our problems, confusions and dilemmas usually boil down to some very basic truths that we have somehow ignored, denied or never learned. Problems we now have usually stems from obvious and often unconscious previous choices that have somehow landed us in our current situation. Whether by innocence or ignorance, it is nonetheless the pivotal place where we made a choice, often by not making a clear, conscious one. And what we are left with is the natural consequences of that time and place when we thought we could just coast along without having to step up to bat ...

Top 10 Tips to Make the Most of Your Meditation Practice
By:
Jonni Gray
Friday, Mar 30, 2012
Trying to meditate after consuming several caffeinated drinks usually doesn’t work out well. Breathe slowly, with your eyes open, for a half a minute or so. Then let them soften their focus as you gaze at nothing. Then close your eyes. Don’t over-think meditating. Just meditate. Stay open. Don’t think you know what the meditation means, or is all about, while you’re in it. Wait till afterwards to do that. Just stay engaged with it while it’s going on. The warm up is the breathing; the heart is the exercise. It’s easier to “get in” if you go in ...

Change is Good (And Full of Truth)
By:
Jonni Gray
Thursday, Feb 16, 2012
Conditions:
change, challenge
Are you feeling the change that is happening? Are you feeling that YOU have to make some changes? Does that frighten you? Make you queasy? Change is inevitable. Either you change or it happens to you. But that doesn’t make it any easier. Over the years I’ve created a list I call my change truths. They are reminders of all the positive benefits there are when I change. I keep it on my bulletin board above my desk and as much as I, personally, love change, I still find myself reading over it for inspiration whenever change is imminent. As change occurs in my life, so does growth. I ...

Top 5 Gifts of a Psychologically Sound, Spiritually Aligned Modern Meditation Practice
By:
Jonni Gray
Friday, Feb 03, 2012
The pendulum swings. There are times on the planet when masculine energy dominates and moves us forward. And there are times when feminine energy is ignited, engaging us deeply, in order to move us forward. While many people are speaking about a return to the feminine energy, at this time, it is really both a return and an evolution of the feminine energy that represents the door to our future. And Modern Meditation offers you the key to open that door. So I wanted to be succinct and offer you the top 5 gifts I know a modern meditation practice can offer, because connecting to your internal ...

Evolving Your Meditation Practice - Ancient vs Modern Meditation
By:
Jonni Gray
Sunday, Jan 08, 2012
There are thousands of ancient forms of meditation. And they are all very serious. Most of them originated from India and other Asian cultures, thousands of years ago. They were created for, and by, men: monks, rabbis, yogis, priests and the like. The men who wanted to support their vows of chastity, celibacy, poverty, obedience….very different reasons than why we, in this present time, would want to take up a meditation practice. If early sources of meditation acclaim it as the connection to the God-force, then it wasn’t until the mid 1800’s that the concept moved into ...
