Free Meditation For Personal and Financial Success

Dear Gorgeous Beautiful Friends,

Recently I have had a few people ask me about meditations and which ones they should do.

Although my training has been in spiritual matters my passion is to work with people that are creating the business of their dreams.

One of my closest and dearest friends, Darcy Volden Hoag, created a site to support women in business:
http://secretsofhersuccess.com

Because I am passionate about the site and what Darcy is wanting to achieve I created a meditation that was specifically designed for SUCCESS in all areas of life, including business. I wanted something that would benefit my ideal client but also benefit the people that are part of Secrets of Her Success.

I designed the meditation in such a way as to allow inspiration and the next steps that need to be put in place to become apparent during the meditation. There is also a strong element of experiencing the emotions of having success. The meditation creates a balance between personal and financial success.

Many of my clients have come back to me with stories of their great results from listening to the meditation just a few times.

You can get the meditation free on my website just by signing up for it. It is in a box in the upper right hand corner of the homepage: http://www.angelabear.com

Happy listening!

With Love and Appreciation,

Wide Angle Vision - Active Meditation

Wide Angle Vision is a way of getting into a meditative state yet remaining active. I personally have a problem with meditating. It can be very difficult for me to sit and quiet my mind. I’ve done it, I’ve had great results but it has always been a personal challenge.

I’ve always found active meditations much easier to do. My first encounter with active meditation was through Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism and chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. This summer marks 20 years of practicing this active form of meditation. I have an active mind and I have experienced for myself how an active meditation suits an active mind better than a still meditation.

The whole purpose of me meditating is to get into alignment with who I really am, to feel good, to lift my energy and vibration to be more of a match to that of the Universe.

If you have an active mind think of your mind as a car that you are driving at 60MPH. You are driving along and someone tells you to slow down (meditate) and you have no idea about the breaks so you attempt all sorts of things to slow the car down. You may see some results. The whole point of slowing down is to get on the right road, but slowing down isn’t the only way to get you on the road that you want. You can get on the road you want to be on by matching your energy to the speed of the vehicle and just slowing down the internal dialogue.

Being in sync with the Divine is the whole point. Active meditation is a way of getting that connection yet slowing down the brain enough to allow paranormal experiences yet maintaining awareness of your physical world. Another way to expand awareness and the focus of a normal relaxed meditation is to open your eyes once you’ve gotten into a really relaxed state. It is a way of switching the meditation from an internal experience to an external experience.

I’ve now learned that my relaxation meditations are more vivid more real, have more clarity and physicality to them if I do them with my eyes open.

Wide Angle Vision is very easy to do. It is simply using your peripheral vision and maintaining the use of it. It is letting go of your focus on one object or line of vision and expanding it, having a complete lack of focus. This lack of focus and broader vision allows your mind to get into a state of Alpha. The more you stay in Wide Angle Vision the deeper into a state of Alpha you will go and the more aware you will become.

How To Do Wide Angle Vision:

In a wide open space - preferably outside - stand with your arms straight out at your sides. Look straight ahead with your head facing forwards. Have your palms facing out and wiggle your fingers. Allow yourself to see any movement from your fingers through your peripheral vision. Bring your arms forward slowly wiggling fingers until you see the movement, if you don’t see it straight away. Remember that most of us spend our lives being trained OUT of Wide Angle Vision, so wherever you see the movement of your fingers is fine. Notice how, even though you lack focus, you can see more movement and your hearing improves.

Wide Angle Vision is actually an awareness skill that my husband teaches, he teaches mostly physical skills, where I teach spiritual skills and philosophy - sometimes we cross over! When we teach this in nature, we have people look around and listen, to see how much wildlife they hear and see. Then we have them do Wide Angle Vision and do the same thing. Everyone is always amazed at how much more they saw and heard while using Wide Angle Vision. Using it is like turning on the Nature switch, your environment comes to life! When in Wide Angle Vision you keep your vision in peripheral until you see movement, then you focus on that movement. You are much more able to see the subtle movements and hear subtle sounds than you would be in the non meditative state of Beta.

One of my students was having a difficult time at work and I had her practice staying in Wide Angle Vision at work for the whole day. It really improved her work experience because she was able to stay in a calmer more meditative state yet still do her job through the day. She was able to have more awareness and clarity.

If you think about the average day of an average person in a first world country you will understand how we’ve been trained out of Wide Angle Vision. We live in boxes, drive in boxes, watch boxes and sometimes we even read box shaped objects. Houses, cars, TVs, computers, books, they all train us to see in segments instead of looking at the bigger picture.

An Lipan Apache Elder told me a story that he had heard from his Lipan Apache Elder who had escaped the white man. The Elder was able to be invisible to his hunters in wide open spaces because of his knowledge of how the white man saw. He said that because the white man saw in segments he had to put the segments together to make a big picture, and he would simple hide invisibly in the seam of two segments.

I love that story, it is so moving to me. The Natives have taught me so much and I am very appreciative!

My husband’s website is: http://huntergathererschool.com if you want to check out his work or ask him questions about physical awareness skills.

I love you.

Thank you.

FREE Audio & Downloads…

Today I got an email from Karen, asking me about Free readings, I have another old website and somehow she found it. I AM in fact doing an ASK ANGELA, although the page isn’t up yet, somehow people are still finding me and asking me questions, which is great.

Thank you Karen, because replying to you made me realize the value in telling everyone that visits why it’s important to listen to the audios!

I want to make sure that us working together is a good match for both of us. Once you listen to the audios you will know if I am the right person for you. By you simply listening to the audios and contacting me I will know you are a good match for me.

When we do have the session you will have been prepared that way getting the absolutely most from me, which is what I want for you and everyone that comes to me.

Everyone that comes to me for information or healing is asked to listen to these three Free Audios. It sets the energy and the tone for the work and fun that we will have and it allows me to get to the underlying causes much more quickly and easily for BOTH of us!

Please Note: The audio on the interview isn’t perfect and the interviewees at the beginning are not audible. The important thing is to listen to the answers, as all the information you need to know about how I work and if we are a match is in there!

Happy Listening!

Labyrinths, what a great learning tool!

The other day I had a call from my friend Leigh (www.gatheringinspiration.com), asking me to come see her up at our local primary school, as a mutual friend Eva (www.evawolfram.com) was building a labyrinth. I LOVE labyrinths! My first experience of one was at a ’spiritual awareness’ day. A smooth stone had a labyrinth carved onto it’s surface, with the path being wide enough for any finger to comfortably follow in the groove. I was told the way to do it was to trace out the groove slowly, pausing if needing to, but to keep my finger in the groove at all times until the labyrinth was completed. I noticed immediately the slowing down of my breathing and heartbeat; before I knew it I was transported to another time and place. It truly was a magical experience. Being seasoned at meditation I can tell you that it took me into a Delta much quicker than I would have thought possible by doing something so simple. To this day I am still amazed at how relaxing and meditative it is to trace a labyrinth with my finger. I highly recommend it.

Last year I went to the Bestival and I walked a labyrinth that Eva made there. It was Magical. It was like the hand-held tracing labyrinth but much, much better. I remember getting very clear on issues that were going on for me at the time, and in the process of walking around towards the center I felt a release of some deep worry that I was currently working through. At the center of the labyrinth was a tree, and soft strips of material and colored pens had been provided for making wishes and tying them on to the tree. The peace I felt upon arriving at the center was phenomenal. Labyrinths are truly a sacred place and a way to remember who we really are.

Needless to say, with my previous experiences of labyrinths I jumped at the opportunity to see what teachings I would get. (I forgot to mention each cycle of doing the labyrinth at the Bestival gave me a teaching that was beneficial for my growth at the time.) Before I even walked up the drive to the school I could feel the energy shift. I could feel my breathing slow down and my whole body relax, release and drop into a meditative state. I stopped and breathed in the air and the energy. The walk up the drive was a walk of honor. I could see the labyrinth in the field to my right, and my heart opened with the possibilities.

Some mothers of the children who attend Chale Primary School were helping Eva to build the sacred structure that had already changed the energy of the land. Once the stones had been laid completely and precisely in place (the planting of the tree and much more is yet to be done), I was able to take my journey through the labyrinth, and I did it hand in hand with 4 year old Millie. I explained to Millie about staying on the path, and about the wish we would make once we got to the center as we wound our way around. Being excited about the wish Millie asked if we were every going to get to the middle (the place of wishes). At that exact point we were on the outer ring of the labyrinth but we were actually almost at the center. It struck me then that it often feels that we are the furthest away from our dreams, desires, wishes when we are actually the closest to them. It looked and felt like we were the furthest away from the center that we had been on our journey - there were times when we’d seemed to be a lot closer - yet where we were at the moment that Millie questioned our ever reaching our goal was at the shortest stretch of our journey. I love knowing that. I love even more having experienced that learning.

If you want to create a sacred space of great learning I highly recommend having someone like Eva Wolfram to create it for you.

Be easy on your journey and know that when you feel the furthest away, you are probably have only a few steps further to go…..
