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.
