Modern alternative medicine and holistic healers believe in the
power of the energy that flows through our bodies; this energy
radiates from our mind as well. It is believed to be the chief
from of transportation for our body's nervous system to carry
out communication. Breathing techniques, music, aromas, and
candle therapy are all ways we utilize the opportunities to
reflect on our day, allow our mind to rest and replenish itself
for further use.
The great benefit in meditation, however, is the mind's ability
to transform itself into a vehicle for higher awareness.
Meditation is a way for us to become aware of the fact that
there is more to our being than just our physical activity. We
have so much more potential locked away in our mind, resources
that we never tap into until we have the chance to quiet the
mind, quiet our surroundings and open the door to the
possibilities we don't examine on a day to day basis.
Our spirit is the real benefactor in these moments of quiet
reflection and meditation. Everyday, time after time, our spirit
would soar if given the opportunity. But quite often, the
opportunity is stolen thanks to the ever pressing issues of job
responsibilities, children, and household responsibilities. Our
spirit is generally all used up by the end of the day.
In our meditative state, thoughts that never have the
opportunity to be heard during the bustle of the day are
afforded the opportunity to come forward and be heard. Every
step that we take is a step in some direction for our life. The
opportunity to set our own destiny, develop our manifestation of
what we believe our life should be, is the opportunity
meditation provides. Every action we've ever taken started as a
thought. The thought was then brought into reality by our action
on that thought. So are we able to produce new thoughts and new
possibilities, in this time of quiet reflection.
It is in these small moments of creativity and higher conscious
operation that our mind heals itself from the stresses of the
everyday activities, and maintains a real level of healthy
operation. Our spirit has the opportunity to renew. Revive. Like
the dying patient that receives the administration of CPR in the
final hour, our spirit receives the moments of solitude that
allow it to regroup, regain that wonderful faith in ourselves
and mankind. Our mind is like our body, we don't have to look
unhealthy to be unhealthy, and sooner or later, the illnesses
show, unless we're given the opportunity for rebirth of our
basic beliefs.
This is how we provide the nourishment needed for our spirit to
remain healthy. Some people choose to accommodate this through
community worship, some people through moments of quiet solitude
in nature. Still others choose renewal through silent meditation
and prayer. No matter our choice of activity the important
accomplishment lays in the renewal of our spirituality and our
belief in mankind.
