Meditation is one of the best ways to escape an over-active mind, become centered, and connect with one's spiritual self. When you are centered you are better able to intuitively know when something is for your highest good.

Other ways to become more aligned with your higher self, thus more aware of the next best step in all areas of life include the following: spend more time alone; avoid TV; avoid excessive alcohol; avoid drugs (even occasional use clouds perception); avoid junk food/emotional eating; avoid sugar and caffeine (promotes mind- scattering and the numbing of feelings); exercise regularly; read more; get more sleep; and spend time in nature. All of these ideas will help you to detach from your ego-self.

Various forms of meditation exist, yet the commonly acknowledged purist and most efficient way involves simple intense focus. Sitting comfortably in a chair or on the floor with your back straight, eyes closed, breathing relaxed, and your focus intently on your chest plate for twenty minutes or longer will help you detach from the conscious mind and be more in touch with your subconscious mind and higher-self.

This meditative process also helps to release a natural feel-good opiate from the brain. These endorphins have been clinically proven to aid in healing.

Don't be discouraged if it takes you weeks or even months to become proficient in meditation. With practice, you'll get the hang of it and benefit greatly. You'll also instinctively know what to do and when to do it. You'll eventually stop wasting time on things that are not relevant to your highest path because they'll seem insignificant.

Alternative forms of meditation include running, walking, swimming, reading, knitting, drawing, painting, writing, and other activities that allow you to get into a "zone."

It's also important to consider when you first desire something. Timing really is everything, and comprehensive predictive numerology and astrology provide invaluable insight into all areas of life.

Numerology and astrology are two ancient, empirical sciences that provide self-knowledge and peace of mind. They can also help you be aware of and prepare for challenging and rewarding times in your life, help you to further understand why you are here on earth, and to know what type of action is best taken at what time. It's best to consult with an expert since there are many aspects to consider, but one of the more important timing indicators can be tracked easily by anyone. It's called Moon Void of Course.

There are specific times every few days when the Moon is in between signs, or Void of Course. New ideas originated, plans made, or people met during this time usually turn out differently, if at all. Following the information in our Moon Void of Course article will help save you time and money and be much smarter about your decisions. Please keep in mind that there are many, many important astrological and numerological considerations, but the abovementioned one is a good starting point.

"If you do not make the mistake of many and set up your will in opposition to Divine law, you will fulfill that high destiny for which you were chosen." --George Washington

No matter how mundane or ordinary one's life appears, every person's path is an extraordinarily unique, and necessary part of collective universal destiny.

While those who act in opposition to "Divine" law, in our opinion, are fated to do so as part of chosen paths by their spiritual selves, and as symbolized by the patterns in their numerology and astrology charts, those who strive for more in life are also fulfilling what is to be.
