Faces of Eternity: the Timeless Self
Hey there, novice millionaires! As we journey through mindful practices, the more you dive into it, the closer you get to uncovering your eternal self – a symbol of your true nature.
When your eyelids are closed, can you recall your own face?
It’s not the one in mirrors or photos; it’s your eternal face, tied to the DNA of your ancestral line.
First Nation people spend ages meditating to glimpse their forever faces.
You’re no longer a novice if you’ve regularly practised mindfulness in the previous four stages. Recognize your endurance and determination to reconnect with your true nature, which you likely knew as a child before societal conditioning took over.
Setting the Mindful Stage: Prepping Your Space
In your mindful zone, gather three things:
- An image of a perfect circle. [see below]
- The words: “Loving is watching ourselves and others without judging or desiring to change.”
- An affirmation: “I am perfect as I am.”
Gazing Into the Circle: A Practice for Present Awareness
Stand tall, whether at your desk or by a window.
Lengthen your spine, envisioning an elegant, long neck. Breathe deeply, expanding your lower rib cage with Earth’s borrowed air. Imagine your heels sinking into the Earth as your head reaches for the sky.
When ready, blink 20-30 times to refresh your eyes naturally.
Gaze at the perfect circle for as long as comfortable, lowering your eyelids when done.
Inviting Reflection: Embracing Self-Acceptance and Love
Sit comfortably and gaze at the following quote without judgment:
“Loving is watching ourselves and others without judging or desiring to change.”
Juddu Krishnamurtu, Brockwood Park, 1984
Contemplate and jot down your thoughts in your mindfulness notebook. (see Self-reflection for Personal and Financial Growth)
Then, shift your focus to the affirmation:
“I am perfect just as I am
Reflecting on these words will solidify your mindful state.
Taking Mindfulness Beyond the Basics
When re-entering the external world, carry the perfect circle, quote, and affirmation with you.
Whenever the opportunity arises, revisit them and smile joyfully at your incredible inner resources.
You’re no longer a novice. What have you achieved during these days of mindfulness? Consider revisiting all five stages; they’re the foundation for ongoing practice.
