Meditation

Any form of meditation is an act of healing!  The art itself promotes gentleness and can add tranquility to your life.  It offers peace, can quiet the mind and can offer self-reflection in ways that are not found in ordinary living.  If practiced, it can open doors to connections with your higher self, add spirituality to your life, and point you in the right direction.

It takes time and regular practice to calm the mind, and to get to your source, but it is attainable.  Consistency is the key.  Do not be dismayed by the feelings of failure as you practice meditative.  Know that it will take time to still the mind.  Most people allow their mind free reign so it will take time for the calmness that you are looking for to settle in.

If you pursue this practice regularly, many experience states of consciousness that can be termed from outside our worldly realm and some have mystical experiences.  Some receive images and visions that have great meaning when deciphered.  The images that some experience is similar to dream experience only that you are completely conscious and very aware of what you are seeing.  You will still have to break down the symbolism to uncover the meaning of your visions.

Some individuals do not experience visions.  These individuals simply experience peace and tranquility which carries forward into their everyday living.  Meditation has a lasting effect.  In World Buddhism, Volume 22 (1973)— by the World Fellowship of Buddhists, it was written, It may be stating the case too strongly to say that in meditation one seeks to gain nothing. For there is an increase in happiness and peace of mind.  But when asked, “What have you gained from meditation?”, the answer would be: “It is not what I have gained that is important but rather what I have diminished, namely, greed, hatred, and delusion.”

Follow through on your intent and open passageways that have been lying dormant.  Experience inner dimensions of your true self that can activate an inner knowing that supersedes conscious understanding.  Maintain the practice regardless of obstacles that keep interfering with your efforts.  It will pay off.
