Some thoughts on meditation
Having
suffered for many years from stress-related illnesses, including high blood
pressure panic attacks and palpitations, I began to use meditation as a tool to
help me cope with life as I saw it, hopefully without drug therapy
I have to some extent succeeded in this aim.
Meditation for me allows me to create a safe space, where I can not only control my physical symptoms without resorting to strong medication, but through visualisation can connect with my spirit guides and helpers. I have been able to access memories that were suppressed and deal with their aftermath.
I hope now with the help of my Guides to further the understanding of myself and my relationship with the universe. I hope to use the knowledge that I have gained to help the many clients who presently come to me personally, and through my website, and who often expression a wish to learn meditation to help them through difficult areas of their lives
I have recently started to gently lead a few of my friends and clients into the knowledge of guided meditation with most wonderful results! I am delighted to be able to utilise this method of healing for others and are hoping time to expand this.
The lift of energy that I myself experience through an understanding and the practice of meditation is an unexpected bonus, and I feel that through facilitating the healing of others through this means I am at last healing myself.
This gift of self-control, self-healing through meditation is a gift that should be spread to as many as will accept it. As a way to regain balance and control in their own lives.
A few notes/thoughts that I would like to leave with you…
Dancing becomes meditation when you are totally at one with it, when your mind is focused on the movement and your body has surrendered to the music and read them. Dancing in this way can raise the energy level and is a meditation in itself. Particularly useful in a group meditation.
The benefits of meditation in a group are that the energy level is increased and it is easier to be disciplined in a group who are all striving for the same result. In discussion after meditation many new ideas and experience can be shared amongst the group, this is a benefit in itself.
At the end of any sort of meditation be it sitting, walking or dancing, we hope to revitalise both our light and physical bodies energies to achieve healing peace and balance, and to strengthen the immune system, this enables us to face the immediate future in a calm and balanced mind and to be aware of our energy levels and in touch with ourselves.
Breath plays a very important part as an anchor for our attention in meditation. To focus on the breath, is to focus on the experience of being alive. And the rhythmic exchange as we breath and its energy flows back and forth between our body and the environment, connects us to the planet in a continual exchange that makes us one with the pulse of life itself!
