LIFESTYLE KEY-1 : THE SILENT WATCHER Your first key is what I call “the Silent Watcher.” The Silent Watcher is the observer, the place of higher consciousness within everyone. It is always watching, observing, your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions from a non- judgmental, neutral place. It doesn’t give direction, it is just simply watching. Think about how you go about your day and how often you have a judgmental thought about a person, place or thing. Imagine what would happen if you had a place within yourself from which you could observe and have a greater detached perspective—a place from which you could see more than just your opinions, judgements and beliefs within a particular moment. It’s possible you could open up to new experiences, awareness and understandings. This is why the Silent Watcher is your first key: it is the neutral place for you to create from, free from the patterns and old belief systems that have created obstacles and hinderances to creating the life you want. From the neutral place of the Silent Watcher you are free to create your life, your purpose, your heart’s desire. You get to choose your reactions and your decisions based on a deeper awareness. KEY-2 : FINDING YOUR CORE VALUE What is core value? Your core value is the virtue that you live your life by. It is the energy, the principle, the ideal that you build your life around. Your core value may be love, or truth, justice, beauty, or loving kindness. Whatever it is, it is the divine message, the divine calling of your soul. Most people have lost connection with their core value and, as a result, they often find themselves unhappy in their work, their relationships and their life. Your core value is infused with an enormous presence of energy that you can use to create your life and clear away obstacles, hindrances and fears. Your core value is the virtue that is the foundation of your soul’s purpose. It is a messenger of wisdom, intuition, guidance, forbearance, resilience, health, and love. When you are consciously connected to your virtue, your value, the core of who you are, you are automatically connected to the divine, to the Source, to the power house of energy. Your core value is the foundation of your soul. And when you connect with your core value, you are living in a quantum field of creation. You are spiritually connected and you are automatically living a fulfilled, purposeful life. 64 www.yogicherald.com Dec. 2018
