When
we work with meditation in our lives it can help us to heal ourselves
through relieving stress, making us feel more relaxed and helping
us to enjoy living our lives in a balanced and creative way.
Meditation
teaches us how to become aware. We have been living a life where
we are always running around too busy to just stop for a minute
and find focus - because of this we have become caught up in
the head always thinking and worrying about the future and not
spending any time living in the present. We miss out on so much
of our present lives and the joy and fun we could be having because
we worry about the future.
When
we learn to meditate, we learn to control our stress levels and
learn to really relax the mind and body. We start to feel less
stressed, which makes us easier to get along with our family,
friends and our work mates. With meditation, we learn to bring
back focus in our lives and this focus helps us to make the right
decisions that we need for our happiness.
Meditation
helps with sickness it promotes faster recovery. Meditation helps
with anger, fear, worry, pain and emotional traumas from other
people hurting you. Meditation helps you to get along with other
people and learn to accept others. Meditation teaches you how
to be strong without pushing others away. Meditation helps to
bring prosperity back by helping you become motivated to act
in your life. Meditation helps you to make right decisions. Meditation
can mend a broken heart, fix a family feud and assist you to
find friends and new loves in your lives.
How?
By showing you how to be aware of your present life and help
you see where your life is not working. Meditation offers the
gift of peace and calmness that helps you bring back your centre
and when we are functioning from our centre, our lives become
transformed. Meditation is when you allow the mind to rest and
go quiet. When our bodies are worked really hard, we get aches
and pains. We need to rest the body so it can recuperate from
the stress and physical strain we have put onto it. If we don't
our bodies can become ill. When this happens we are forced to
take it easy. With our minds we are always thinking, even in
sleep the mind is working because most of us dream while we are
asleep. The dreams are usually all the unconscious fears coming
to the surface from our conscious fears. However, with meditation
we can slow the mind down and relax it to such a level that it
gets the chance to have a good rest. After practice you will
be able to stop the thoughts altogether for a short time. In
times of stress and serious illness we are constantly worried,
and that puts pressure on our mind and our bodies that is no
good. These two factors can lead to even more illness and more
stress. Just imagine if we rest our mind through meditation we
are allowing whatever problem's that are present in our body
to heal themselves without the added stress of constantly worrying
about them.
Meditation
is so easy that even young children can practise meditation.
This would be beneficial to children who are going through problems
at school. We have to learn how to slow the mind and her thinking
down. When we can do this, we are able to instill within ourselves
a sense of peace and harmony. We are also able to open our chakras
and energy centres up properly, so that they function appropriately.
Music is a type of meditation. Music has this ability to slow
our thought process down. Dancing is a form of meditation. Painting,
drawing, writing. All these are forms of meditations. All forms
of exercise are forms of meditations also. When we stop thinking,
and place focus on something that gives us joy, we start to truly
listen to what is going on within ourselves. We are able to hear
our higher mind and our inner child. We learn how to listen to
our body and what she has to say. If something is off balance
or not right, we are able to talk to our bodies and find out
exactly what is the problem.
