Intuition, Meditation, Prayer

Post of the Day By Miria Cook for June 2, 2013

If you are having a hard time clearing your head of the day’s tensions – all the distractions and demands – or if you’re just feeling the stress of this chaotic era we’re living in, here are a few helpful tips:

Human beings, particularly sensitive ones are a bit like sponges, being empathic we tend to absorb the energies of others and unfortunately that effect can be cumulative. We can overloaded with all of it !

By scheduling a few minutes everyday to take time to clear yourselves of the cobwebs and/or build-up or residue of energies that are counter-productive, you & your overall well-being will benefit greater ! Here’s how to begin….

Firstly, take a moment to set your intention “to quiet & center yourself”. Why is this an important step ?   Because simply put, it helps you to bring focus, clarity and value to the act you are about to engage in.

Next turn off those things that are distracting you – you know what they are no need for a long laundry list. Next find a spot where you can sit quietly and privately for a few minutes uninterrupted.

Believe it or not, I always take a few minutes to do this in the car just before going into an important meeting or gathering.

Now focus your attention on your breathe and how you are breathing…..breathe slowly, gently, deeply, naturally….just breathe, much like a small child does when they are sleeping deeply. This is not quite as easy as it sounds but with some practise, it will become easier “to feel” your breathe and to direct it.

Thirdly, step within yourself to that “Inner Place of Silence & Peace” –  that place within yourself that you go to when you pray or when you are contemplative. You should feel like you are in the sanctuary of a sacred place because that’s exactly where you are……in touch with your Heart Centre.

Finally, acknowledge with gratitude that wonderful feeling of being in touch with the Divine within yourself. It is this feeling of closeness to something “bigger than oneself” is the beginning of your developing your ability to discern your intuitive voice.

This is at the very core of your Healing Journey.

May Your Prayer Empower Your Intuition and Empower Your Healing……

Woman’s Intuition

Quote of the Day By Miria Cook for May 11, 2013

How many times have we heard about Woman’s Intuition ?   And yet how many times have we dismissed it and then said…” Darn, I knew it, I should have listen to my gut feeling about that……” ?

Here’s the thing…..Intuition is Cognition !  There’s strength in it.  It’s our the right side of our brain giving us all kinds of extra information to help us make decisions & discernments about the people, places and things in our lives. So why ignore it ?

Embrace it & celebrate it because through your Intuition you have access to the deep Knowingness & Wisdom of  Womankind !

May The Discernment Your Intuition Bring You Insight & Healing……

Happy Mother’s Day !

Authentic Self

Quote of the Day By Miria Cook for April 24, 2013

We layer onto ourselves thick skins of false protection – Ego Constructions — and so attach ourselves to them imagining that this is the Real Self.Tree of Knowledge

And yet what we think will help us is really a burden in disguise.

Often it is through a single significant emotional event in our life that this is revealed to us.

Then the realization comes that only by stripping away these false layers of security that we really don’t need the carry anymore — they do not serve us well — will we be able to show the true manifestation of Our Light, Our Brave, Our True Our Dedicated Heart and…. Our Authentic Self….Our Soul.

May the Light of Spirit Always Guide You……

Divine Love

Light of Spirit to Guide Us to Love & Healing

Light of Spirit to Guide Us to Love & Healing

Quote of the Day By Miria Cook for April 16, 2013


The Healing Power of Divine Love is the ultimate response to healing anguish.

It is the most courageous thing that one can do in Life – it is, by far, the most difficult because it means defying all other urges and replacing them with the need to seek Truth & Reconciliation.

May the Light of Spirit Always Guide You……

Plumbing The Surprising Depths of the Spirit

Intuition Affords The Opportunity To Glimpse Beneath The Surface to The Extraordinary !

To quote Jane Austen: ” it is a truth universally acknowledged…”  that all Human Beings are intuitive by nature.

And in fact, I believe that we Humans are intuitive (and consequently psychic) by Evolution and that our connection to the Divine is biologically hard-wired.

We started out with our basic instincts to survive – fight or flight – to ensure the survival of the species and when you’re busy trying to survive, you are thinking about how and where you next meal is coming from and not what your Life Purpose is !

As we evolved, so did our culture and society develop into more & more complex social groups and sophisticated social relationships.

It is the impetus to evolve between basic needs of to survive – food, shelter and reproduction – and towards the more sophisticated needs to creating complex social interaction that lead, I believe, to the refinement of our instinct into what we know as intuition.

Intuition as defined by the ability to distinguish a non-verbal (seeing images versus words), abstract, cognitive right-brained function that leads us to sensing, feeling, and to a knowingness of something much deeper than what is immediately evident through primal emotions of fear or gratification.

And like a talented singer – born with the right vocal cords and having the right kind of training to makes extraordinary beautiful sounds – Intuitives, Psychics, Spiritual Mediums, Spiritual Channels are born with an innate ( and genetic ! ) predisposition to fairly well-developed intuition and psychic ability. How these gifts of insight ( the sight within ) are  developed and what can be done with them will be the subject of the next few articles – stay tuned !

Quote of the Da…

Quote of the Day by Miria Cook for April 4, 2013

The successful in this world understand the difference between being self-made and being self actualized. Both are driven for our need for validation. The first is generally defined by materialism, driven by Ego and is transient because it is of this world. The latter is a manifestation of our deeper need for connection to Soul and lasts for eternity.
