"Do you love you mind?" Deepak Chopra asks this question in one of his books. Most people answer with a strong NO, saying " Its negative, running all the time, busy, out of control, I feel trapped by it..." Many of us try to and feel a need to control our thinking, have a need to control and manipulate other people and situations. Living this way causes us to suffer greatly on many levels and bringing about anxieties, feeling of disconnection, possibly depression or illness. Manipulation, control and denial bring about pain, chaos and disorder. A Suffering person gets trapped in negative perception of his or her own creation. |
| "What you resist persists", |
It's time to stop fighting; its time to stop resisting! It is time to surrender and embrace the totality of who we are. Ego is not the enemy. Mind is not the enemy. It is a part of us that is awaiting our acknowledgement. Any change that we desire for ourselves begins with acknowledging and accepting where we are today. |
Throughout the day we take a moment, pause and breathe, letting the thoughts simply be there, without judgment, without identifying with them. We let the mind, body and spirit unite in this moment of NOW... we look at the situation, examine our motives... we allow the answers and clarity to magically show up...
Meditation
According to Dr. Borysenko, "meditation is broadly defined as any activity that keeps the attention pleasantly focused in a present moment." In such state, mind is calm and focused. Not reacting to memories of the past or preoccupied with future concerns, two major sources of chronic stress in life.
Meditation is about embracing ourselves and the world, not wishing it away.
There are numerous meditation techniques that are very helpful. However, the point of meditation is simply to be still, breathe and go within.
Benefits of meditation are endless. Research shows great improvement in overall health and well being in those that meditate regularly - more energy and clarity, more joy, more vitality, less compulsive thinking, more peace and balance in day to day life, regardless of religion and beliefs. Meditation is not only about relaxation; it is a multistage process happening on many levels.
