How Often And Why Do I Need To Meditate ?
We regularly and quite easily slip into four main negative habits. So meditation is not only sitting in a quiet corner, and connecting with the self and the Supreme, at a couple of fixed times⏲ during the day, but it is also the way to gently remember and remind ourselves, many times in a day, that we as well as others, are souls or spiritual beings not physical beings, by detaching ourselves from actions and also while being involved in actions. These reminders given to the self over a period of time become natural and prevent us from succumbing to these four habits. Given below is a basic meditation, which you could use to remind yourself regularly during the day:
-I have a body but this body is not me…✅
-I have thoughts but these thoughts are not me …✅
-I have feelings but these feelings are not me …✅
-I have attitudes but these attitudes are not me …✅
-I have emotions but these emotions are not me …✅
-I have beliefs but these beliefs are not me …✅
-I perform many actions through my sense organs, but these sense organs are not me…✅
-I play many roles but I am not my roles…✅
-I experience joy or sorrow through my sense organs, but these experiences are not me …✅
-I am a soul-a being of energy, which is neither created nor can be destroyed, and my original and true nature is one of peace, love, joy and power✅

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
