The True Power of Meditation

Why meditate, what can it do for you? You have probably heard you should meditate, but what’s in it for you? What are the true benefits to meditation?

The biggest benefit I see in meditation is that you still your mind. It becomes quiet...

Think of the last time your mind was racing with unstoppable thoughts... Maybe it's like that right now! I know for most people, having constant thoughts is normal. I know what that's like, it was normal for me too a few years ago.

But it's not like that for me anymore, in fact, as soon as my mind gets into this "over-thinking" mode, I immediately feel drained and my energy goes way down.

So what does this mean to you?

If you find that you are constantly thinking, you are only able to access and feel a very limited amount of energy.

If I could show you how much more energy you would have if you were able to quiet your mind even for a small amount of time each day, you would be amazed!

Because what happens when you quiet your mind is that your Spirit begins to shine through you. Your Higher Self or your Divinity becomes present.

So you not only have more energy, you also have access to an infinite wisdom, creativity and even love.

That's why I believe meditation is beneficial. You stop allowing your mind to constantly be in control, you open to your more expanded, wise and loving self to come through.

And this can open your life up in ways your mind could never imagine... I know this has been true in my life.

Had I left my mind in charge, there's no way I'd be sharing my true passion through Intuitions. I’d still be in my old engineering career, filled with doubts, fears and uncertainty. Knowing at a deep level what I always wanted, but not knowing how I could actually make it happen.

It took inspiration, energy, opening to possibilities, letting go of fear, allowing transformation within...

None of this could have happened had I let my mind stay in charge. I had to open to a greater wisdom,nto a greater consciousness.

So try it for yourself, for the purpose of accessing the more amazing, infinite, creative, loving self that you really are, to open your life in wonderful ways you can't yet imagine.

Another important point is that it is not how long you can meditate for, it's that YOU CAN STOP your thoughts. That's all. That you can consciously stop your mind from it's crazy, non-stop, exhausting thinking... and open to peace, energy, vitality, inspiration, creativity, wisdom, and clarity. In just a moment.

Try it now, close your eyes, focus your attention within your body and allow yourself to relax and allow the thoughts of your day to just slip away. Focus on your breath, just watch it, feel it.

Why?

So you are focusing on something which allows your thoughts to stop.

If you have a hard time with that one, try a guided meditation. In guided meditations, you are focusing on the words so you are still stopping your thoughts, which is the point...

Either way, begin today, even if it is for short periods of time. Even if it is for 30 seconds, the point is why you're doing it and that you are doing it. It's not about performance, it's about allowing your amazing Spirit to shine through you and into your life. Opening your mind and energy to the wonderful possibilities for your life.
