What is a digital vision board and why should you create one? A digital vision board is a collection of images that represent your desired future in an online format. The two biggest benefits of digital vision boards is that you can take them with you wherever you go and they take less time to create than the traditional physical vision board. You can make as many versions you want for as many goals as you want! Life and people In my case, I have a physical vision board that represents my ideal life as a whole and then I use digital vision boards to visualize each specific area in more depth. I love being able to have my digital vision board stored on my phone and my laptop so I can look at them at any time of the day. Because so many of us stay glued to our computers and smartphones, digital vision boards provide a very effective way to "keep your eye on the prize" and stay focused on what you need to do so you can get to where you want to be. Read more: http://lifeandpeople.com/digital-vision-board/ Here's how you can make your own digital vision boards and use them as inspiration to reach every major goal you have for your life. Step 1: Write down one of the big goals you have for your life that you want to start working on right now. Be specific as possible! Your goal can be in the areas of lifestyle & career, fun & work, money & finances, health & wellness, family & friends, love & romance or personal growth and spirituality. In my digital vision board above, I chose to visualize some of the big goals I have for the lifestyle & fun area of my life. I 'd like to purchase a beachfront condo here in Hawaii in the next few years. When I want to explore the other areas of the island, I 'd also like to have a nice car to ride around in! Step 2: Choose a few images that represent your specific goal. These should be actual pictures of what you want that you can find on the internet and save to your computer. For my latest digital vision board, I researched the exact condo property in Waikiki that I wanted to live in. I downloaded the photos directly from their website! Same thing with the car. I simply went online and searched for "BMW convertible" and found the beauty you see above. Step 3: Create your digital vision board at no cost using PicMonkey or PicStitch (smartphone app for iPhone and Android) to make a collage of your images. You can also use Pinterest to build a board around a specific goal, especially for travel! Finally, Oprah.com also has a free web-based application called O Dream Board to help you build an online collection of inspiring images. Step 4: Save the final version of your digital vision board to your computer and make it your screensaver. Also be sure to save the image as your wallpaper so that you can look at your board every time you pick up your phone if you have a smartphone. Step 5: This is the most important step of all. When you wake up and right before you go to bed, you have to start thinking about your goal every morning. In this way, you will get used to the idea of experiencing your desired future, even if it's only in your mind for now.

One of the questions I'm asked most often is ... I was born and baptized a Lutheran in Iowa. My family moved to Arizona in 1954, I was five and have many fond memories of the Southwest. I spent my high school years in Wisconsin and in 1969 moved to Los Angeles, California. Because my teenage years were spent in the 60's-- "Don't trust anyone over 30 and question all authority"-- I became an agnostic. Life and People At the age of twenty-eight, I went through what you might call an early mid-life crisis. I quit my job of seven years and went on a forty-five day road trip. Back in Los Angeles, I found a new job, and within a year my old company rehired me. I quit smoking, joined a gym, and started looking into what it meant to be a conscious human being. One day, this wonderful woman came into my life. She was beautiful, kind, and easy to be with. A selfless quality that seemed to come from her religious faith filled the air with love and warmth. She was a devout Christian, and I started going to church. It wasn't long before I realized church and Christianity was not my cup of green tea. I lacked faith, I was skeptical and needed proof. I needed something more than words, I needed a personal experience. I wasn't feeling anything sitting passively in a pew, I wanted to be an active participant in my own salvation. Read more at: http://lifeandpeople.com/how-to-become-buddhist/ I bought a book by Houston Smith, called "The Religion's of Man," now called "The World's Religions," and read the whole thing. It made perfect sense when I read the chapter on Buddhism. I knew nothing about Buddhism, but everything I read seemed to be true. I didn't know how or why it was true, but it was. I was ready to do my first Buddhist meditation. There was still a half hour left, and I took my place. It was terrible ... My knees hurt, my back felt strained, and my mind was running like an open faucet. After 15 minuets I had to move my legs, the blood had stopped and my toes were tingling. The gong rang, and meditation was over ... Shinzen began to talk, and I was hooked. In my first year of Buddhist practice, I took the three refuges and five precepts of a lay Buddhist, and was given the name 'Kusala'. My Buddhist name would remind me each day, what the goal of my practice was.

It is not necessary at first to sit cross-legged, but it is a good idea to become accustomed to sitting in the posture of Buddha Vairochana. If we can not hold this posture we should sit in one which is as close to this as possible while remaining comfortable.
The seven features of Vairochana's posture are: (1) The legs are crossed in the vajra posture. This helps to reduce thoughts and feelings of desirous attachment. (2) The right hand is placed in the left hand, palms upwards, with the tips of the thumbs slightly raised and gently touching. The hands are held about four fingers' width below the navel. This helps us to develop good concentration. The right hand symbolizes method and the left hand symbolizes wisdom-- the two together symbolize the union of method and wisdom. The two thumbs at the level of the navel symbolize the blazing of inner fire. (3) The back is straight but not tense. This helps us to develop and maintain a clear mind, and it allows the subtle energy winds to flow freely. (4) The lips and teeth are held as usual, but the tongue touches against the back of the upper teeth. This prevents excessive salivation while also preventing our mouth from becoming too dry. (5) The head is tipped a little forward with the chin slightly tucked in so that the eyes are cast down. This helps prevent mental excitement. (6) The eyes are neither wide open nor completely closed, but remain half open and gaze down along the line of the nose. If the eyes are wide open we are likely to develop mental excitement and if they are closed we are likely to develop mental sinking. (7) The shoulders are level and the elbows are held slightly away from the sides to let air circulate. Breathing Meditation When we have settled down comfortably on our meditation seat we begin by becoming aware of the thoughts and distractions that are arising in our mind. We gently turn our attention to our breath, letting its rhythm remain normal. As we breathe out we imagine that we are breathing away all disturbing thoughts and distractions in the form of black smoke that vanishes in space. As we breathe in we imagine that we are breathing in all the blessings and inspiration of the holy beings in the form of white light that enters our body and absorbs into our heart. We maintain this visualization single-pointedly with each inhalation and exhalation for twenty-one rounds, or until our mind has become peaceful and alert. Because we can not concentrate on more than one object at a time, if we concentrate on our breathing in this way, negative thoughts and distractions will temporarily disappear. At the conclusion of our breathing meditation we should think 'Now I have received the blessings and inspiration of all the holy beings.' At this stage our mind is like a clean white cloth which we can now colour with a virtuous motivation such as compassion or bodhichitta. When we practise meditation we need to have a good posture and a comfortable seat. The most important feature of the posture is to keep our back straight. To help us do this, if we are sitting on a cushion we make sure that the back of the cushion is slightly higher than the front, inclining our pelvis slightly forward. It is not necessary at first to sit cross-legged, but it is a good idea to become accustomed to sitting in the posture of Buddha Vairochana. If we can not hold this posture we should sit in one which is as close to this as possible while remaining comfortable. |
