… "Thought is Cause". We cause our daily experiences with the quality of our thoughts and then we harmonize with Universal Laws to attract to ourselves people and experiences that reflect our thinking.

By deepening our meditation until our mind comes to a standstill we can unlock the potential and unused ability within. In daily life human nature is to be consumed and eventually overwhelmed by thoughts inside our minds. As a result the worries of life at some point will become too much & overtake us which causes not only mental but eventually physical illness. Contrary to western belief of thinking through our problems, the truth is that thoughts are the problem, thoughts are a sickness, only …

… Meditation is  consciousness without thoughts.  Meditation has only one meaning and that is going beyond the mind and becoming a witness of  your words, your thoughts, your actions. Meditation is surrender, it is letting go...Letting go is what happens on it's own when the limitations of the mind are seen, when logic is no longer the master.  It’s not forcing existence your way, it is relaxing into the existence you desire.So,relax and let go... Dropping the mask and bringing out your original f …

I'm starting this group, because I see other Moms in Brookfield and the surrounding areas and want to stop them all and meet them. That seems a little aggressive, so I thought I would start here and see if I can't meet some fun moms, parents and kids in my neighborhood. I’m always wondering what else is going on in the area for my son to do and hopefully with the combined knowledge of this group we won’t miss any opportunity. The goal will be to meet moms, to have play dates with the kids and th …
