			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Being Our Own Lamp </strong></p>
<p>As he was dying, the Buddha said, &#8220;Be a lamp unto yourself.&#8221; I think he was challenging us to become aware of our spiritual essence, to read ourselves by our own light, to follow the path that resonates with our own hearts and minds right here, right now.</p>
<div id="attachment_336" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://www.messagestogod.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/confidence.jpg"  ><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-336" title="confidence" src="http://www.messagestogod.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/confidence-150x150.jpg" alt="how to build confidence " width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">how to build confidence </p></div>
<p>As we recognize our own unique light, we can choose to shine it <span id="more-310"></span>on the people and places that need illuminating. For the good of the world, as well as our own personal good, it&#8217;s vital that we tip over the proverbial bushel and become aware of the beautiful and distinctive light that we have been given to share.</p>
<p>Settle yourself into a comfortable place and position and allow your breath to deepen naturally. With each breath, any tension that you are feeling begins to wane, drifting lazily and effortlessly out of your body as you exhale. The more you relax, the more you sink into the darkness behind your eyelids &#8211; a safe, embracing, womblike darkness wrapping around you like a soft comforter.</p>
<p>Stay here, safe and warm in the velvety darkness, as long as you like. At the right time for you, notice in the distance, a small pinpoint of light. Gently and leisurely move toward the faint glow. Coming closer, you see that the light is emanating from an exquisite lamp resting atop a lamp stand. If you don&#8217;t like the lamp that you see, allow it to fade and be replaced by one that feels right for you. Realizing that the lamp is a symbol of your unique inner light brought forth by your wise subconscious, ask it to share its wisdom with you.</p>
<p>By the light of many lamps, much can be illuminated.</p>
<p>I am my own best light.</p>
<p>I share my love and light.<br />

<p><em>Just rekindle the inner flame within you and you fill you will be illuminated with a more enlightened life  ..</em></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">Confidence, or course, shouldn&#8217;t be confused with cockiness.  Confidence  		is not just a positive personality trait, in today&#8217;s competitive job  		market it&#8217;s absolutely a requirement.  Knowing you are as important as  		your colleagues is incredibly important not just on a conscious level,  		but subconsciously as well. <a rel="external nofollow" title=" taking control of your dreams " target="_self" href="http://www.messagestogod.com/blog/RTBG"> Being assertive, rather than passive,</a> will  		help you get what you want.  There&#8217;s no reason to consider yourself  		inferior to others, so it&#8217;s time to stop feeling that way deep down.</span></p>
