Maria says through meditation, we can be healthy and cheerful. Easily put, you are what you think and feel.
Our thinkings and mental processes can improve or degrade our health, whether we know it or not. Negative thinking is a habit ingrained in us.
Similarly, Maria Duval tells me that positive thoughts can be a habit in me through self conditioning and meditation which basically brings the brain waves into alpha rhythm where you experience a feeling of well-being and calmness.
The brain likes this feeling so each time you meditate you create a positive response within the mind. Gradually you look forward to and make time for your meditation sessions. In turn, you become happier for longer and longer until you retain a feeling of contentment within you.
Again, what I suggest is that like all things in life, we all have a choice to be happy or sad.

Reiki is like a water flow
I have learned Reiki before, and this is one of my favourite topic. Reiki has been in my life for more than one year and its now a odd routine for me for as long as I would be alive.
Like all spiritual techniques, there are various forms of Reiki, particularly when it comes to blockages. Reiki is able to deal with these energy blockages in you so that you can be a more physical and energetic person.
I have heard that when there is a blockage, you can't fully utilise the goodness of Reiki. But I beg to differ. Even if there is a blockage, Reiki will still flow through your whole physical and spiritual body by another way around till the blockage is removed. It's just like a change in direction when a gush of water flow meets a big boulder in the middle of a stream. The water flows around the boulder.
Reiki is a easily learnable gift that anyone can pick up and apply Its energetic flow and force is similar to that of a water flow. Constant, continuous, and full of life's energy, Reiki will flow through your physical, spiritual and energetic bodies as well.

Subsconsious
As you probably know, we only use about 5 to 10% of our brain power. That is very little, isn't it? Imagine how the world will be if everyone uses just 20% of the level. The reason why we use so little is because we only need this much for our daily activities, like walking, eating, learning, and so forth. We don't really require more level of intellect when we are dealing with these.
Maria says we also possess a mysterious source of power, called the Subconscious which is a gift from the Higher One to us human beings. The Subconscious has immerse power and as you guess it, most people don't even aware of its existence. If one is able to tap on its depth, one can truly inspire and achieve truly outstanding outcomes.
In a simple explanation, Subconscious is simply the Infinite Intelligence that made you what you are. The Intelligence that has manufactured your body from tiny cells which have multiplied indefinitely, from infant to your adulthood.
Maria Duval explains to me that this is the truly superior difference that make human the Lord among the living things in this Earth. We are regarded as the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe. Calling upon this Intelligence that is within you is also same as calling our Inner Guide or our Soul. It is our best friend, our life buddy that follows us wherever we go. It is always there to help you when you call upon it.
Hmmm... how can I tap more on it? Sometimes I feel so unchartered in life despite all the assurances.

Express your gratitude
There is this analogy about expressing gratitude. Some people feel shy about expressing gratitude. It is like you have wrapped a birthday present for a friend, but decided not to give it to that friend.
I'm sitting in my garden today, on a beautiful, cool and sunny day, looking out over my plants, with Mozart playing at the background. Yes it is so relaxing moment. I found myself pausing in my enjoyment to reprimand myself for not saying thank you often enough. I don't mean thank you in the sense of thanking someone for a favor that they have done. What I mean is paying tribute to the world in which we live which provides us with an abundance of everything and also infinite opportunities.
Maria Duval stresses the importance of expressing your thanks and gratitude over and over again. It must be something spiritually beneficial.
Whether or not you have faith in terms of a particular religion is not what I am really getting at here. I'm merely noting that faith, hope and gratitude are all essential to being happy in this life. You tend to find that these three things go hand in hand and also that people who are successful and happy experience these sentiments as a major part of their habitual nature.
Expressing gratitude in itself directs ones attention to what you have as opposed to what you do not have. In a world where there are so many dissatisfied people, who always want more, one wonders if these people have ever learned to say thank you for what they have already got.
Let's take a moment to relax, breathe deeply, hold our hands together, close our eyes and say a huge and heart-felt thank you for the abundance in this world and for the endless opportunities which we are lucky enough to be able to pursue.

Foundation of our ideas
All new thoughts and ideas start at the mind and they must be built on a strong foundation or it will collapse. It is just like a 50 story building which is built on a very strong and deep foundation. The stronger it is, the higher the construction can go. This means the greater we can soar is all based on the foundation of our mind.
Yes, everyone can agree that your mind is the most powerful gift you have.
"The imagination is the most marvelous, miraculous and inconceivable force the world has ever known". Said Napoleon Hill.
To realize the full power of your mind, it's important to understand there are three main parts of it. The conscious mind is the part that thinks and reasons. The subconscious mind is the part that carry's out the commands given by the conscious mind. Lastly, the body is part of the mind too. It carry's out the consistent thoughts we put upon it.
Maria Duval thinks that the power of your mind can work for or against you. All depending on how you use it. If you constantly think about what you don't want then you'll have a strong likelihood of creating what you don't want. One must focus on what you really want. Something that creates the passion the core desire.

Youthful experience
I remember vividly what it was like when I was a child. The sense of sight and feel was really magical. I remember I was running around barefooted around the mountainous region of my grandpa's house and feeling the impact of physical senses coming my way. It was very a strong touch and my young mind and body were naturally filled with all the feelings, sounds, tastes and smells to give me youthful spiritual nourishment.
Without any hesitation, that was the pleasures of life, even for an eight year old.
Now I understand from Maria that these inspiring experiences are in truth the results of Positive Being. It is this wonderful, healing and beautiful quality that is always present within us. It is like a sun inside of us that can spread out its rays brilliantly in all directions illuminating all of our positive aspects. When we allow this radiance to enter all aspects of ourselves each and every second will be filled with wonderful feelings of joy and happiness.
All of our potential is held in the realm of Positive Being. It is full of positive thoughts, feelings, images, experiences, skills, visions and abilities. The benefits of our positive being is that it allows us to enjoy new dimensions of our lives and deepen our understandings of all aspects of our life.
Unfortunately, most of us don't care about this experience when we grow up. All that in our minds are working hard for a living and money. These are good, however, I feel when chances arise, we must let go and experience those youthful experience again..

Dream about a ring
I had a strange dream. On the weekend, I again lost something. This time a ring I have been wearing on my left index finger on months. It was a simple looking peridot ring and I like it a lot. After some frantic search, I declared its status as MISSING. My lovely wife replaced it for me with another similar one the next day. I was so feel of love for her.
Deep inside, I have a feeling that my old ring is somewhere misplaced in my house. On the same night, I had a dream in which I dreamed that I was in a particular room - not sure which is the one - and on one corner of that room, I saw my wife's grandma sitting on the armchair reassuring me that the ring would be found.
Then my sister-in-law who was sitting opposite to her was told by her to move a handkerchief above a jug or container and then she opened it and gave me the new ring I was given by my wife.
I told her that this was not the ring I was looking for and then she told my sister-in-law to do the same trick again. She gave me exactly the same ring for a second time and told her that this wasn't again the ring I was looking for.
Grandma replied that the ring was lost and then out of nowhere my wife appeared and he offered me another ring, a huge gold one with a big clear emerald stone.
I was very surprised by the shape and size of the ring and I found myself wondering why my wife would give it to me... That was when she knocked her elbow on my chest as she turned. I woke up feeling very vivid about this dream. I jotted the dream scape down on a note book besides the bed and back to sleep again....
Interesting, huh?
