Your Inner Connection and Love – A Winning Combination
Posted by admin on July 20, 2009
Cultivate your inner connection
Take time to connect to your inner self through meditation, prayer, or other practices. It’s important to remember that who and what you are is other than – and greater than – your circumstances. In setting some time aside every day to focus within, you create an oasis for yourself, and start to build a reservoir of resilience. That inner contact may also provide you with inspiration and guidance and even specific answers that will help you overcome.
Focus on Love
Make sure that you have people, animals, and things you love around you to feed, heal, and replenish your heart and soul. Love is what comforts and consoles us, restores us, strengthens us, and reminds us of what’s most important. Stay in touch with those beings and things (and places) that are sources of upliftment and inspiration for you.

So true! Quiet time in mediation is one of the best ways to heal yourself and reconnect with your life. Whether you pray, journal, or walk in nature, it will heal and restore you.
Years ago I learned Transcendental Meditation. Then came all sorts of tools and techniques for stress reduction and finding balance in my life.
You are so right that it is critical for our health and wellness – physically and mentally – to find ways to connect with what’s natural and filled with it’s own “is – ness” of just being, rather than doing. It reminds us where we came from and how we can “be” in the world.
Thank you for sharing that Tomar!
Although I have never been able to relate to the term ‘meditation,’ I spend quiet time in nature every day and find my grounding there. It serves me on many levels. The key is doing the work necessary to find what flows for us as individuals instead of blindly adopting what works for others.
I found even in hectic situations – your mom trying to take care of children, home, business, etc. that stopping for just 2 minutes 3x a day to become quiet, take a few deep breaths and be thankful does wonders for your sanity. LOL
Many Blessings Tomar!

This morning I simply sat in my front yard in silence for a while, looking at trees and the sky and enjoying the garden my wife has planted. Since I work at home, some days I get out of bed and head straight down to my office… not the best way to start since it kicks me straight into high gear. Instead, that 20 minutes of simple silence in the morning help me re-connect created a nice easy rhythm that contributed to an enjoyable and productive day. You are so right about taking that time to connect Tomar.
Whenever life gets a little chaotic and busy I simply remember to breathe in and to breathe out. It is really that simple.
Thank you Tomar for reminding me about the beauty and gift of meditating. I do not always make the time to quiet my mind in the morning, but when I do, my day seems to flow with ease.
When I was running in the hills today, there was silence in the air, and in my mind–like a ‘moving’ meditation. I continue to be amazed at the ideas and solutions that come through me when I reach this peaceful and calm state.
Tomar, Your comments really hit a chord for me. I am also a life coach and find that many of my clients are already so stretched in their work lives that they are experiencing both emotional and physical symptoms of distress. One female client – married, two children, and a high level professional career – asked me to help her to do MORE, thinking that somehow she was not “getting enough done”. When we actually looked at the tasks she had set for herself, and the time each task required, she realized that NO ONE could do what she was expecting of herself. This was an eye-opener for her yet I sensed that she still felt some inadequacy for her inability to do the impossible! This drive to do the impossible is taking its toll on individuals, families and organizations – so we coaches have an important role to play in helping people re-examine their priorities and make their overall health and well-being a significant focus in their lives.
