Greetings!
Welcome to the Premier issue of the Everyday
Spirituality E-zine! This monthly newsletter is
dedicated to
helping you stay in touch with your inner self in
practical and down-to-earth ways.
Many people get to a
certain stage in their lives and think, "Is this
all there is?" They have the house and the cars
and the material things they always wanted to
acquire but something is missing. They say, "Is
this all I can expect from this life?"
My
answer to these questions is
a resounding, "No!"
While you may have reached your material
desires for
a comfortable life, there is a vast landscape of
undiscovered territory to be found within you to
help you make that connection to the people and
things that really matter.
Come and share the journey of exploration and
discovery with Authentic Matters in this monthly
uplifting message.

Five Minute Meditation
Here is a short meditation that you can do
right now
as you read this at your computer.
It is called: WE ONLY HAVE THE
NOW.
We have no guarantees about the future and not
one thing about the past can be changed. That
means that we only have the now - the right now -
to appreciate our lives and live in the moment. Be
mindful of the present and you will be able to live a
happier, more centered and more fulfilled life.
Listen to the meditation through the link
below. A small box will appear. Open it and hit play.
When completed, hit return to e-zine. If you cannot
listen, here is the text:
Welcome to this five minute meditation called,
We Only Have the Now.
Sit deep in your
chair with your back straight and your feel flat on
the floor. Hands on your legs and relax. Close your
eyes and focus on your breathing. Take a few
minutes to center yourself. Breathe in to count of 5,
hold for 2 seconds and release for 5. Again.
Concentrate on your breathing. This is very
important in meditation. When your little nagging
thoughts of the past or the future creep into your
mind, gently brush them away and concentrate on
the now. This moment. Those other things will get
your attention later,if necessary.
Concentrate on going within to your place of inner
strength and centeredness. You can find it. It is
deep within you. Imagine there in that place of inner
connection that you see a comfortable looking
bench. Sit down for a minute and rest there. Remain
in the now of this experience and relax and breathe.
It is very nice and peaceful in this place. You are
feeling happy and serene in this place within. Just be
in the moment with this and enjoy the peaceful
sensation. Breathe in slowly and breathe out. Tell
yourself that it is OK to just be yourself, exactly as
you are,with all your faults and all your good
qualities. No matter what happened before, today is
a new day. A fresh start for you. Experience the
present moment becoming brighter and filling you up
with positive energy and peacefulness. Take a deep
breath and take this in. Release this breath and feel
happy.
Now you will get up from your bench and start to
come back to the room where you are sitting. Move
your arms and legs and stretch your shoulders and
open your eyes when you are. ready.
Take a moment to become more alert. You want to
take this happy feeling with you throughout your day
today.
Remember to live in the moment, because we only
have the now. We cannot change a single thing
about the past and we cannot see the future. We
only have the now.
