Hardly a week goes by, when I don't hear someone, some expert in the field of healing the Total Person, express the vital importance of Daily Meditation. So, what is meditation, many may say? Well, the best way that I can explain it is this. To meditate, a person needs to go to a 'Quiet Place', sit in a chair with one's back upright, and feet firmly on the floor. When in that position, either in complete silence, or with some appropriate calming, quiet background music playing softly, one should close the eyes and commence breathing deeply. As you relax, you also focus on a pivotal point, like your 'Inner Eye' which is located in the middle of your forehead. So, meditation is a form of relaxation, coupled with concentration.
Dr. Paul Masters President of The University of Metaphysics and an expert in the field of meditation, coined the phrase which is the title of this article 'The meditation zone' many years ago, and he refers to it as, halfway between wakefulness and sleep. Now, when a person gets into this 'Meditation Zone' where they are both relaxed, whilst concentrating on the pure power of the actual state that they're in, one can do several things.
Firstly, we can sit there in this beautiful State of Calmness halfway between wakefulness and sleep, just focusing on the 'Inner Eye' to keep the mind from wandering all over the place. It is recommended, that a person meditate ideally twice daily, for a period of twenty to thirty minutes each time.
Now when a whole lot of people meditate they focus on the pure love, light, and peace of The Creator whom they believe resides WITHIN them at the very center of their being. As it is written "The Body is The Temple of The Living God". As these people concentrate on the Divine Power WITHIN, they silently repeat a series of powerful affirmations, like for example: "All is God.....All is Good.....All is well with me now". Always remember, that in order for affirmations to be truly effective, they should ideally be structured in the first person and present tense.
Yes My Friend, daily meditation is something that I would personally strongly urge everyone to practice each and every day of their lives. I would also like to see it introduced into ALL penal systems, and into the schools of the world, so that we could collectively finally produce a future generation of very peaceful, loving, spiritual, well adjusted human beings. What a beautiful though that is for all of us to ponder here today.
THINK ABOUT IT!
