When something in my life is not exactly the way I pictured
it would be, it throws me completely off. And when I’m derailed, everything suffers, including my health. I’m not sure
about you, but when I get like this, I need to remedy it quickly. I am so uncomfortable
that it feels like I can’t be inside my body. It’s like I don’t fit. I get
constant headaches, and every single bone in my body hurts. So needless to say I
search for ways to get out of it quickly.
The thing I have found that works like a charm is meditation!
But wait, before you stop reading, you should really give it a shot. I know you’ve
heard it before, and perhaps you’ve tried it and thought "this is not
for me," but I disagree. Meditation is for everyone. There’s no way it can’t
be.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m fairly new at meditating, therefore,
I still need a little guidance, so I use guided meditation. I've had a really difficult month, and during my month
from hell, I meditated every day, but in the last week, I didn’t just meditate,
I listen to a Chakra Clearing meditation. And let me tell you! I FEEL ALIVE!!!
For those of you who don’t know anything about “chakras” here’s
a brief explanation as defined by a Mind
Body Green article “The 7 Chakras
for Beginners,” “The seven chakras are the centers in our bodies in which
energy flows though”. When any one of
these points is blocked, it could cause major problems in our bodies and mind.
So knowing this, I immediately turned to handy-dandy YouTube
and searched for a “chakra clearing” meditation. And I found many, but I’ve
been listening to this one Before Sleep | Spoken Guided Meditation | Chakra Alignment | Chakra Balance . And Wow
does this work! After several days of using this method I began to feel
better, not just mentally but physically.
During the clearing I was able to do things that I couldn’t do while I was
“awake”. I was able to send my troubles
away by sending forgiveness.
For me, this seems to be one of the things I struggle with
the most: forgiving others who I feel has wronged me or someone that I love. But, in my meditated state I could see the
amazing benefits of forgiveness and I wanted to reap the benefits. I wanted release
from the pain and anguish. I wanted happiness again, and the weight to be
lifted from my shoulders. I wanted peace. And in my experience, forgiveness is
the only way to achieve this. Forgiveness doesn’t have to be this difficult
impossible thing to give, after all, forgiveness doesn’t mean that you accept
what a person has done to you. Forgiveness, as I see it, means you no longer
choose to carry the other person’s burden. Forgiving someone means you set it
down, and move on with your happy life.
I hope my experience with meditation has sparked some
curiosity in you and you try it for yourself. If you do and it helps, feel
free to share your experience with me. I'd love to hear from you!
Till Next Time!
