Meditation—so much more than a tool
BTW, I couldn't resist choosing this fun pic, but note that you never need to hold your arms out like that to meditate.
Recently I was reading a book about wellness. I was shocked to see them say, “Don’t let meditation’s mystical associations spook you.” They went on to explain that they were recommending 10-20 minutes of meditation as a daily tool for getting more meaning and joy in the readers’ lives.
Why was I shocked?
It just made me realise that meditation is most certainly a mystical experience for me (not always, but enough times to make it a must-do practice). I hope you’ve found that too, and, if not, that you’ll definitely discover it after reading my stories and descriptions of tools and techniques.
My hope for you is to experience that connecting with Spirit in a meditative way is very mystical, and sometimes it feels magical, tingly, and/or as though there are big energetic arms to hold you.
From my experience, these sorts of happenings don’t come around very often, but, when they do, the presence of the nurturing, guiding and, above all, loving energy is very obvious.
Do you see, hear or feel?
Depending on your own learning style, and perhaps your experience, you may actually see other beings, or other worlds, in your mind’s eye. Or you may hear a whispered instruction. Or you may suddenly know you are meant to take a certain course of action.
I’m usually better at feeling and also getting an ‘aha’ or two, but, notwithstanding that, there are times when I do 'see', and then I’m nearly blown away by the experience.
So… no magic, no spooky business – just a wonderful warmth and inner connection with the Godforce, in whatever way you want to picture it. And an understanding of Spirit's presence even when not actually seeing anything.
You can learn to meditate in many different ways, and I have a $7 download giving several ways to meditate – and busting lots of myths about meditation. Here's the link, in case you're interested.
Oh, and there's a lot more in my book, including the story of one unexpected and almost mind-blowing experience I had. I can't even give you a hint, or it will spoil the story if you ever get the book. Here's the link for that too.
