Meditation:
Your Freeway to Discovery
by
Betty Bethards
Our energy level and mental programs are the major
contributing factors to how we interpret what's going on in our lives. That's why the most
important tool I have to offer to increase self awareness is daily meditation. Meditation
keeps our energy up high enough so that we have the clarity to look at our numbers and
hopefully change them. Otherwise, our energy is so low that we just get caught in reacting
to others, going up and down with their mood swings, and we can't see how we're setting up
our experiences. The easiest and most enjoyable way
to meditate
is to listen to your favorite songs...
Meditation also helps us to develop a growing sense of inner peace and serenity. By
sitting for twenty minutes a day, you achieve a deep relaxation of body, mind and spirit.
You begin to see how you set up your life experiences and lessons of each situation.
Meditation is a free, simple and powerful tool that enables you to experience life from a
centered and stress free way of living. Your relationships can be a lot more rewarding
when you develop the calm, relaxed perceptions of life that meditation can bring.
Twenty five years ago I was given this simple technique by my guidance or higher
teachers and was told to give it out for free to the masses. All forms of meditation are
good, but in our high speed society, we need to learn how to protect our energy by closing
down at the end. (See Step 5)
I have given this form of meditation to millions of people all over the world and the
results have been incredibly rewarding — increased health and well being, success in
relationships and career, and a deep spiritual understanding of peoples' life purpose.
The easiest and most enjoyable way to meditate is to listen to your favorite songs and
music for the full twenty minutes. While sitting with your spine erect, you're aligning
your energy to the God force.
The steps:
1. Sit in a chair with your spine erect, shoulders relaxed, feet flat on the floor.
Fold your hands together in your lap and close your eyes.
2. Take three slow deep breaths, exhaling to the base of your spine, and feel yourself
relaxing. Sit with your hands together for ten minutes.
3. After ten minutes, open your hands, palms up, laying them gently in your lap. Keep
your focus on the songs and music.
4. At the end of the second ten minute period, when your energy is at its highest, most
centered point, you can do your affirmation and visualizations, such as, "The Perfect
partner is manifesting in my life," or whatever you are choosing to create in life,
i.e. prosperity, wisdom, career. If your buttons were jammed during the day and you
reacted, you can review the situation, see what your positive lesson was and visualize how
you would have liked to have handled it. Next time the lesson comes up, you will handle it
with love.
5. After completing your affirmations and visualizations, close your hand into a fist
and feel a balloon of white light a block all around you and underneath you so that you're
in the center. This sends love and healing out to the world and buffers negative energy
from coming into you.
This twenty minute period, however is not our only meditation practice. We endeavor to
practice the meditation attitude in watching our thoughts and behavior throughout the day.
You will begin to see how your thoughts, words and actions set up your relationship
experiences.
