Not your usual meditation quote but a good one no less ;-)
A very powerful technique is to look at past victories.
Whenever you're feeling overwhelmed, lacking confidence to overcome a challenge, feeling deflated, defeated and battle weary; look to your past victories!
Look at all you've overcome, all you've accomplished, how you've grown, changed, transformed, transmuted!
In your meditation, bring to mind the phenomenal power inherent in the storm, the beauty, the energy... and use it to pick yourself up, power yourself up and keep going.
With so much love,

Grateful for light
Following on from yesterday's quote, I love how this one again shows us that sometimes we're in the light, sometimes we're in the dark and sometimes the fact we've been on the dark, makes us all the more grateful for the times we get to rest in the light.
So even in our dark times, connecting with that light, no matter how deeply buried it may feel at the time, can get us through it... and help us grow, change, be stronger, wiser, more resilient and more empathic to others.

Dark and light
What I really love about working with Bach Flower Remedies, is that they make it okay for us to have shadows.
They bring it out into the open, the truth that everyone experiences darker emotions, just as everyone experiences lighter emotions and all the shades in between.
It's in a time when we experience the dark emotions that we yearn to feel the light emotions once more. We crave balance, harmony.
So this quote:
"Never fear shadows, they simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby."
Reminds us that even though you may be in the shadow there's always the light side to it; there's always the balance inherent in all things, in the universe. There is harmony and chaos, dark and light, fear and love.
Take a moment to think of your shadow emotions and identify what the opposite, light emotion of that is, and then try to understand why and how the shadow emotion came to being so that you can shift yourself into the light emotion. Be compassionate, non-judgemental, accepting and understanding.
If you're happy to share some of them, I'll make suggestions for which Bach Flower Remedies can help.
With love,

Why I post these meditations and how they can help you
Oof! A good one to set us up for this week's meditations 🧘♀️
The reason why I post these quotes for meditation is because if you study pretty much any spiritual text, or method, you'll see that all of them refer in some way to finding our Inner Light as the purpose of life.
If you're
struggling for meaning,
find yourself in a dark place and wondering if life is just a pointless, painful experience,
feeling stuck in a dull job,
lonely without someone to love you,
healing from a past trauma,
coping with physical illness,
... basically dealing with any human emotional, physical, spiritual or mental challenge...
Reading these quotes -
can inspire us to see that there's vastly more depth, beauty and meaning in life if we choose to search for it
Practicing just 10 minutes meditating with the thought or idea of the quote in your mind -
can help to connect deeply and profoundly with that very Light that may be eluding you, or that you may be ignoring, or even, avoiding.
If this resonates with you, please share, tag a friend who will enjoy it, spread love!

What you seek is seeking you.
You know that car game that you play, when you look out for a certain type or colour of car?
Then you find yourself two weeks later still noticing that car, even though that game is looooooong over?
This quote makes me think of that game in relation to your dreams/desires/aspirations/goals.
It perfectly portrays how what we focus on, or pay attention to, shows up around us.
It's very useful to use that to remind us that in order for our brain to even know what it wants, we have to first commit time to thinking about this so that it knows what to look out for. Otherwise, all our ideals will just be like any other car on the road - it will just go unnoticed.
But if you take some time to really think about, and connect with, where you're going, what you're aiming for and what you would like; then you're effectively telling your brain to look out for a black Aston Martin (ideally driven by Mr. Craig himself ;-))
By thinking about what you want, you create images in your brain and then your brain automatically searches for images to add to that association.
Spend some time today, really connecting with what you would like the rest of 2021 to look like for you - then watch your brain start searching for it in your every day interactions - and then you'll see, as Rumi says;
"What you seek is seeking you."
With love,
Sue x

WILD OAT
It feels like this quote is reminding us that it's through discovering our own challenges (i.e darkness) that we're able to shine a light on them and learn more about ourselves in the process.
So when we see, and resonate with, the challenges in others, we're able to say,
"Hey, I get it, I've got it and I can show you which way I went and which path led to the light"
and by doing so we deepen our own experience and use it to help others to find their own direction and their own Light.
Compassion, kindness, humility and understanding stem from this.
What do you think?
BACH FLOWER REMEDY:
WILD OAT is like torch of light in the dark. When we're struggling to see which way to go and we can't find a direction within ourselves (work, career, life etc.)
We float aimlessly on the winds and suddenly with this remedy, we find our place to settle, where to be, that will serve our soul and that will shine our Light brightest.
Wild Oat helps us to see, feel and notice our internal compass and draws us to the way we should go. It's really quite incredible.

Crab Apple
This is one of my all time favourites. Spend your time meditating today on finding that light inside you, see your worth and shine that light out.
Those who choose to step into it are most welcome, those who don't, well that's their choice.
We don't all like tanning in the sun do we? So not everyone has to like you, your vibe, your light, your sunshine so to speak. To expect EVERYONE to like you is bordering on silly and off the charts egotistical.
All you need to do is DO YOU, do it with love and do it with light (and lightness).
BACH FLOWER REMEDY:
CRAB APPLE is a good one for feeling judged. Feeling like there's something "wrong" with us, not feeling at home in your body, perhaps feeling like an illness or ailment has made you "unclean"; which is why it's called the cleansing remedy. It can be useful when we expect perfection, ultimate cleanliness, fastidiousness ( hence useful with OCD),
Crab Apple helps us accept ourselves, see the bigger picture and find freedom in letting being themselves.
Clean that stuff of and shine baby!
It doesn't always come easy, and yes it takes tenacity, work and conscious effort but the freedom, authenticity and autonomy you'll experience from it will be... dare I say it... life changing.
With love xx

Meditation idea today:
Just look to the marvel of ants and what they can achieve.
Doing many small things is still greater than doing no great things.
Like simply doing this for 10 minutes each day, or even 1 minute 10 times a day, is better than never doing it at all... or promising yourself to do an hour and never doing that either.
* Sit quietly
* Come back to your centre
* Find your Light and
* Intend to look for the opportunities throughout the day to smile, be kind and spread love
Doing just this will #changeyourlife shift your #mindset. Try it and see!
BACH FLOWER REMEDY:
ELM: When we feel overwhelmed by needing to do something huge or great that we land up spinning out and doing nothing, Elm can help you to feel capable, break it down into manageable parts and get you feeling in control again.

Blessings in darkness
There is a blessing in every experience - both the light and dark ones.
The light experiences are easy to enjoy but the deepest blessings come from the darkest experiences because those are the ones that ask us to change the most, trust the most and dig deep the most... and in doing so we learn how to rise above, rise again and grow stronger.
If you're in darkness today, take a moment to say thank you for the blessings you will ultimately understand when hindsight shows you why the experience was necessary to help you change into a better person.
When you're in the depths of these challenging experiences, you can coach yourself through it with your mindset, and work with Bach Flower Remedies to do the "heavy lifting" to help raise your emotions from dark to light.
With love

YOU, MY DEAR, ARE A BEAUTIFUL SNOWFLAKE
Do you remember the lovely, unbelievable fortunate, snow we had in January - that lifted our spirits (albeit just for a day - here in Surrey anyway).
Think about how beautiful just your average road looked when it had freshly laid - wasn't it magnificent?!
Then think on how it still looked nice, but the roads were brown and full of sludge as the cars drove by.
There's a metaphor here...
Your Inner Bright Light, your true self, your default setting is the snow as it's fresh and gorgeous.
It's only by allowing the ego, negative emotions and poor choices to turn us into sludge that we become less than pristine.
So today, remember -
YOU, MY DEAR, ARE A BEAUTIFUL SNOWFLAKE :-)
So be individual, consciously choose your default setting of white over black, light over dark - choose your words, your thoughts, your actions.
Oh, and look after the other beautiful snowflakes around you - because you don't know which of them are about to melt - so BE NICE, BE KIND & SPREAD LOVE.
Share this with one of the beautiful snowflakes in your life and tell them you love them ❤️

Evolving - or revolving??
Look at your daily habits and ask yourself if they are causing you to move forward in life or just stay the same.
Are you moving forward, or moving in circles?
Today, do just one thing to move yourself forward in the direction of evolution.
Comment below and tell me what the ONE thing is that you're going to do today? If I can, I'll do it with you ;-)

More info about the "10 Minutes for 10 Days" - PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR ACCOUNTABILITY BUDDY x
10 Minutes for 10 Days - FREE Meditation Course - Starts 10th March 2021 @ 10am
If you're feeling drained, stressed, tired, overwhelmed - you're not alone!
If you're seeking to feel inspired, connected, motivated - you're not alone!
In fact, if you find yourself having only just recovered from the last parts of 2020, and wondering when you're going to get into the good parts of 2021 - you're not alone!
Which means also, that now's the best time to... not be alone!
So don't be alone, be with me
I'd love to invite you to share with me, the experience of giving yourself the gift of presence, peace and quiet calm.
I'd love you to be with me, meditating for just 10 minutes every day, for 10 days.
Now, I'm one of those people who immediately seizes up when I hear the word "meditation".
It makes me think:
"Oh goodness no! No, No, No! I can't levitate!
Oh, you said meditate? No, I can't do that either!
I can't silence my mind!
Have you met me?? I'm a glorified over-excited puppy dog for heaven's sake!"
So when I hear the word "meditate", I visualise a Zen monk, sitting quietly, smiling blissfully, levitating no less.
That is not me.
And I suspect that most of us don't feel zen, or monk-like, maybe not even blissful, at the moment.
So what I'm going to do is show you very simply, over 10 days in only 10 minutes each day, how to achieve a state of Zen
One that is incredibly, unbelievably, easy and effortless. And, dare I say it... very enjoyable.
So let me put it this way...
If you were offered an investment, whereby you put in £100 pounds, and you were guaranteed to get £1 million back. Would you do it?
£100 in, for a guaranteed, safe, risk-free £1,000,000 out?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and fill in your answer with a "hell yeah I would!"
Now this is the (non-financial but vastly more valuable) investment that you're going to be making in yourself...
What if I told you that simply by investing 100 minutes in yourself, you're going to get at least 1 million minutes back?
Let's estimate modestly that on average most of us will live at least 30 years more.
If you were to set up an effective, reliable, and repeatable experience of daily meditation, using this free meditation course to help you get started, over the next 100 minutes in the next 10 days, you would be rewarded with over a million minutes of peace and happiness in the rest of your life!!
That sounds like a pretty good investment, yes?
I know first-hand how hard it can be do try go this alone. You swerve, you find excuses, you clean the bathroom, the car, the house...
So I'm not going to leave you to do it alone.
I'm going to hold your hand and I'm going to support you.
I'm going to be there for you.
And I'm going to make it as easy and as pleasurable as possible.
I'm also going to give you a beautiful workbook, to inspire you in the days after the course and to work through, to dig deep into your psyche so you can learn how to get the very best out of yourself.
So, my gift to you, my show of love and support, because I know we all need it, I know we all deserve it and I know we all want it - is to share these 10 minutes over 10 days with you - and all I ask is that you show up.
I ask that you be present, you bring your soul, and you commit fully.
All you need is a promise to yourself that you would like to show up, you would like to be happy, you would like to experience peace, and you would like to invest in yourself so that you can become a meditation millionaire.
And whilst you're feeling super-charged, motivated and excited - spread the word - nab yourself an accountability buddy who can share the experience, and the benefits, with you - and who can call you out on moody days and remind you "for the love of God, go meditate!"
http://www.susanemma.com/booknow/10mins10daysfree
Sign up so I know you're coming.
Let me know where to send your free workbook.
Meet me on the 10th of March, at 10am (on Zoom).
Bring a friend.
Bring a smile.
Bring a cuppa.
And bring your beautiful self.
I cannot wait!
Remember - you are made of stars, love and light, so shine bright!
With so much love,

WHOLE AND NOT WHOLE
And the moon said to me;
"My darling, you do not have to be whole in order to shine."
The beauty of the moon is that it is in a constant state of change. So are you. From day to day, moment to moment, you may feel more or less whole.
You do not have to be a perfect shining beacon in order to inspire others or to be a complete person.
In fact, the more inspiring and complete people are those who own the fact that they're not perfect and are unafraid to show that they are constantly evolving, they lead by example of what it's like to be a person who is strong enough to know, and show, what they're working on because by doing so, they leave a how-to trail for others to follow.
Just by being yourself, you're going to shine a light for someone else. And it's not for you to know, or judge, how and why - your job is just to be there, shining your light, constantly evolving, changing, growing - going dark, feeling light, hiding away, coming out... but always being humble enough to aim to be better, brighter, purer.
I wonder if we are so in awe of the full moon because there is a part in us that understands that our ultimate goal is to be as whole as the full moon.
We can also look at this image as a reflection of Yin/Yang - the balance and harmony of both light and dark. By being brave and humble enough to see your dark, you can bring it to the light. Heal it, understand it and own it - so that it's not seen with judgement as bad, but as something magnificently beautiful worth honouring - because without it we would be incapable of learning, growing and changing.
Please share this with someone who's struggling to see their light and remind them that you see all of them, both dark and light, and you love the for the whole of them.
Every time you look at the moon, remind yourself to keep constantly evolving so that you level up as a human.
