Are You Centered or Nah? : 6 Helpful Tips to Become Aligned

by Breian S. Brockington


Leaves are falling, the climate is shifting and the days seem shorter. With cooler months ahead we will all be spending more time in doors. Some of us will be cuddling up on the couch with the one's we love, gift wrapping for the cute kiddies in our lives or making rounds visiting family before the new year. But how will you keep you life balanced during the new year transition? Lately my focus has been on embracing my center. I've been working hard to remain balanced and in line with my God and the plans, life and experiences that are set up for me. No this post isn't about fashion but life is beautiful  and when you begin to design the life that is before you it shows up in the most amazing ways.

• Find a space (whether home or not) that is conducive to open and clean thoughts. If your space is in your home make it suitable to your liking. Lite candles, set out subtle clean fragrances that are calming and make sure that your thinking space is clean. If you've chosen a different location outside of the home, make sure it is quiet and clean. 
• Have a notebook and pencil available. In this space you should feel open enough to share intimate feelings about yourself. Be open for whatever may be revealed to you. In this space you should feel embraced by your own presence and the energy be ushered in. 
• Speak your truth and speak your future aloud. This is one of the key factors that will usher in your alignment. Speaking your wish over you life aloud is an energy that is beyond powerful. Feel the lightness of the room when you speak of your future with joy.
• When beginning to align, you will find yourself waking up around 3 and 4 AM. (I've found this to be true for others also). Do not go back to sleep! Use this time to "connect". I've found that some of my best prayers, chants, writings, and conversations happen during this time. 
• Most importantly, be sure to make room for your health. Weather it's walking, taking up a class, joining a gym or the occasional living room private dance (I know I'm not the only one). Do something for your health. Small changes in diet can also  make a major impact on achieving alignment. The discipline needed in this area will teach many lessons that will branch into other areas. 
• Lastly, trust the process. 

This list is not concrete and I'm sure some of you have other rituals that you use to align. As they say "There's more than one way to skin a cat" and there are several journeys to alignment. Search and choose the best that suits you. Learning who you want to be is just as beautiful as actually being who you envision.
