Peace lies within awaiting your return

Self healing means to become aware of all the intricacies of your personal self, physically, mentally, and spiritually and balance those aspects of yourself before you go on with personal growth.

If you reverse the order and practice personal growth before you do self healing then you will be a ship without a rudder, spending lots of money and going nowhere.  Can a plant grow without putting down roots first? The bamboo plant spends 3 years spreading its roots before it begins to grow.

So what are the ways to practice self healing? It can be as complicated or as simple as you wish to make it. You do have to consider the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of your being which may seem daunting at first. The good thing is you have a wisdom deep within you that knows how to heal you.

Meditation is the key to accessing that inner wisdom that will lead you to self healing and finally your personal growth.

I am naturally very right brained and had nothing but trouble trying to fit in a left brained environment like the school system.  Not until I started meditating thirty years ago was I able to view the world from my right hemisphere.

Meditation is the key to being able to see the world from a right brained perspective. When everyone is operating that way, what a wonderful world it will be.

If your mind is constantly dictating to you how things ought to be, I encourage you to spend a few minutes of every day focusing on the present moment.

In the present everything and everyone is perfect and whole. Being in this state is what’s known as Nirvana. I am blessed to have experienced this state and even more blessed to be able to access it at will.

Read Dr. Taylor’s book, My Stroke of Insight. In it she eloquently explains the benefits of seeing the world through the right brain.

Our mind can be our best friend or our worst enemy. It all depends on how we are programmed. 

Our basic belief systems, or our programming, is set by the time we are three to five years old. Of course we continue to learn for years and hopefully all our lives yet none of this learning will change our basic belief system. Whatever was going on in our family dynamic when we were growing up sets the stage for how we will live the rest of our lives. This includes behaviors and habits that anyone who has tried to change them knows are very ingrained into who we are.

Habits and patterns of behavior are hard wired synaptic memory loops in your brain that respond to sensory stimulus. This means when you encounter an event, sight, sound, whatever, in order to respond to this, a message goes from your senses to your brain finding a reference to know how to react. This is why people will keep reacting the same way to triggers in their lives and feel powerless to change it.

Does this mean we are doomed to be the way we were programmed to be by influences outside of who we really are? NO WAY!

Meditation is the key to settling the mind down, for if it stays very active it will not give up the control it has over us. It is known that during times of great stress people will go into patterns and habits of their basic belief systems. Meditation reduces stress and opens the door of the subconscious mind where we can develop sub-belief systems.

We create sub-belief systems that we can reference to deal with various events in our lives. Once set we have a choice of how to react to the triggers that would have normally pushed us into the old patterns and habits. The more we consciously choose the sub-belief systems the more they become the default setting. Sub-belief systems are formed and maintained in the subconscious mind and meditation is how we arrive there.

The more you use these synaptic memory loops, the more established they become. If you stop using them they will eventually disconnect. This means that with effort you can change anything about your patterns and habits that you do not like. A great movie that explains this is “What The Bleep Do We Know”. Rent it or better yet buy it and watch it often.

There are two parts to your mind the conscious and the subconscious. Most of the time in life we operate using our conscious mind as it is necessary for daily thinking tasks. This is the main reason it becomes so dominant as it is so used to being in control. The problem is the conscious is just a very small part of our mind. The subconscious, is in truth so much more.

Normally your subconscious only has expression while you are sleeping because the conscious is then unconscious. This is where your dreams originate and if you do remember your dreams you can relate that the language of the unconscious is rather confusing at times. This is because you are listening to a part of you that you have never met before. It is not unlike meeting a stranger from another country who speaks a different language from yourself. If you were to move to that country and immersed yourself in that culture you would soon learn to understand what others were saying. This is true of your subconscious as well. When you practice meditation regularly the messages you receive when sleeping and even when you are awake will make perfect sense to you.

The purpose is to align your mind. When your mind is focused there is nothing you cannot accomplish. Most of us live scattered lives. Our minds are unsettled most or all of the time. When we meditate and tune in to our subconscious we align ourselves with our truth and when we have our conscious mind focused on the same path then nothing will stand in our way. 

When our whole mind is focused on a direction in life, then we create an energy that brings in help from sources outside of ourselves. Soon people and events line up with your intention to help you succeed.

Your mind is very powerful and I want to make sure it is working for you, helping  you to achieve your goal. If you are ready to make positive changes to align yourself with your truth, I want to hear from you.

If you are seeking out Meditation as a way to deal with anxiety disorder then congratulations. You are heading down a path that will help you become aware of what you are on this earth for.

In my experience anyone suffering with anxiety disorder is a person who is operating at a very high level of consciousness. They are normally what I would call “nice” people. Very sensitive types who care about each other, animals, and the planet.

I see anxiety as unfocused energy. In my own experience, when I suffered with anxiety I was in a time of my life when I had no idea where I was heading. Meditation helped me to realize my true potential and who I was meant to be.

Meditation practice can be as varied as the individuals who pursue it. When we think about meditation, it is easy to get a mental picture of Indian Gurus sitting in the lotus position. Luckily that is only one way to meditate and for some it is the best way. What I find helpful to know is that the goal of any meditation is to quiet and focus the mind.  There are numerous ways to accomplish this. Because there are many ways it can be quite enlightening to seek out and work with as many ways as you can. In this way you will learn more about yourself and discover which way works best for you.

The common thread in all meditation practice is breathing techniques. I know from experience that it is the best way to start. Breathing helps to bring our awareness into the body where our feeling place is. This in turn takes energy away from the mind so it has to slow down. When the mind slows down anxiety becomes peace.

Within your body is your cellular memory of what you are meant to be doing with your life. Some call it our intuition although, regardless of what it is called we can all relate to having a gut feeling that something was about to occur. Chances are if we trusted that feeling we would have made the right decision at the time.  Can any of you relate to this?

Your intuition is the voice of your authentic self. The part of you that has been wanting to express itself your whole life. Meditate, calm the chatter of your mind, and then listen to the wisdom of your body.

Know that the amount of energy required to create anxiety within, when expressed outward in a positive way, will make a huge impact upon the world.
