What Is Important to Me?

My relationship with God, with others, and myself has always been of utmost importance to me. In these modern times I can also add the universe as an important relationship. When I ask myself how I “handle” these relationships in my life I come up with some thoughts to share with anyone who has felt this important need to contemplate their philosophy of relationships. I would be happy if you replied with some thoughts of your own.
I will begin with my relationship with God. I try to place myself in a
state of meditation each day and sometimes more than once a day.
This state helps me to be peaceful and think calmly about some of the things in my life I would like to improve upon.
Basically, I find a very comfortable spot in a comfortable place and I begin with deep breaths to exhale all the noise and storms of my
current life. Then I try to make my mind as blank as possible and decide what is uppermost in my mind. This will take time and is not always the first thing I think of. I ask: Why am I thinking of this now? Where does it belong in my life? What do I want to do with it?
Why? How do I plan to ascend to the next level?
This is the very beginning of meditation. I will continue in my next blog to bring us closer to the life of the spirit which will elevate our mind, heart and soul.
