Meditating for Change

I have been meditating for well over two years now. I began the most basic breathing techniques to calm myself before big tennis matches, but recently read a book that described meditation in a completely new light. The book covered the fundamentals of various meditating forms, and also added a new feature to each. When the meditative state nears its end, the book suggested that the person assert the occurrence of a desired event by repeating a related statement. For example, if you wanted a new car, you would repeat, “I will get my new car” just as you feel yourself pulling back into yourself after meditation.

I have been practicing the technique for a few months now and have had amazing results. I have two great jobs that I am enjoying, my personal relationships have been thriving, and a few other endeavors that I am not yet comfortable discussing have been very successful. It is clear that the method is purely psychological: either utilizing the true power of the mind to create changes, or I have subconsciously changed myself to comply with the new technique. In either case, I am ecstatic at the results and will continue the technique.

ERRATIC WISDOM

A New Car!

After a few weeks of car acrobatics (if anyone has ever been short one or more cars, you know how I feel), I’m happy to say that I’ve finally found a new car.

It’s a 2000 Dodge Neon with only 60,000 miles, and a great price tag…under $3,000.

When I first started searching, I was looking for an import, because the Buffalo winters are truly tough. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything with a reasonable price tag so I switched back to domestics.

The car itself looks gorgeous, and I’ll be registering it soon. Hopefully, it’ll be a little more fuel efficient than my old car, because it’s almost $4.00 per gallon here.

Back to Busy

Things have been going very well for me in my first days of college (Other than paying $370 for my books). I’m taking about 24 credit hours, and am still working at my job, so I don’t know how much time I’ll have to work on this site.

I have many big ideas, but not enough time, and to make matters even worse, I’ve started an interesting new project that I hope to write about soon.

Stay tuned!

Update: A few Greek tragedies and lab materials have brought the grand total to over $430.

Growing

I’m not running a massive online operation, but I am doing fairly well for my first venture in the online world.

The one thing I hate the most is declination and I’m happy to say that there is none here. I’ve included a picture of this site’s stats since it’s creation a few months ago.

Philly

I have a few hours left here in Philadelphia before my final flight back home.

After returning, I’ll have to drop everything and start taking care of business because classes will begin on the 29th of this month.

Update: Home sweet home!

Leaving Tampa

I will be leaving Tampa at around nine tomorrow morning to return home to Buffalo.

It has been a really great vacation, but I’m glad to be returning home because I have many things to take care of:

  1. Buy a new car
  2. Work a little more to pay my college tuition
  3. Figure out my college schedule
  4. Buy my textbooks
  5. My sister is getting engaged!
  6. More

In the meantime, I will continue updating my Tampa set on Flickr.
