Healing Meditation

 

" Let us take charge of our health.

Let the body age out of normal wear and tear

and not degenerate because of an unhealthy life style.

Our body is a divine gift;

we must take care of it and cherish it

as we do a precious gift. "

~Taken from the book, ‘You are the Light’ by Sri Vasudeva

Taking care of ourselves

Our

body is a precious gift, but often we take it for granted, and we don’t

give it much attention until it begins to give us problems.  If we took

time to understand our body we would be amazed at how each tiny cell

has its own intelligence and that keeping it healthy and fit is really

about listening  and working with the bodies  innate intelligence.

The

body has an immune system that is designed to fight off disease and

keep us healthy, provided our system is in balance. Unfortunately many

of us overwork the body, give it too little rest, over-indulge in

sensual habits  and expose it to major stressors preventing the immune

system from working properly.  When we bring the body back into balance

with healthy life style choices, the body  begins to heal its-self. 

Because the mind and Spirit have a very powerful influence over the

body, we can also use them during meditation, to create powerful

healing for ourselves.

The Subtle Energy Field

We

 have a subtle energy body that  influences the physical body, although

not recognized by the medical profession yet. It has been spoken of in

many of the ancient texts and this has been verified by  those who have

experienced this energy for them selves. This energy body has seven

centres that influence the whole body through a network of subtle

energy channels. Opening these centres not only keeps the physical body

healthy but can raise our consciousness, connecting us to our Source or

Creator, where all possibilities are present.  It is this connection to

Source that Sri Vasudeva says “ is the place from which our most potent

power of healing comes. We need to know this placeâ€.

                                                                                              

To obtain the most from your healing meditation

Meditation is a powerful discipline in the healing process. Through

meditation we can create balance in body mind, and spirit, bringing

healing to the body and mind through the power of the spirit within.

 Meditation is a practice that grows on you, if you begin the practice

with just a few minutes a day soon enough you will find it becomes

second nature to you.

In meditation practice it is important to sit in a comfortable position

with the back as straight as possible. When the back is straight it

facilitates the movement of subtle energy from the base of the spine to

the top of the head. There are spiritual centres along the spine and

when the spine is in a straight position it allows for an easier flow

of this energy.

You

can sit cross-legged on the floor if you are accustomed to it, or in a

chair. The main thing is to be comfortable and to keep the spine in a

straight position. It is beneficial to meditate daily at the same time,

then your body becomes habituated to these times and you get the most

benefit from the meditation. You should not meditate if the body is

tired, it is more important to rest and then meditate. If you meditate

when you are tired you are likely to fall asleep. If you meditate when

you are rested you are more conscious of the flow of energy. It is

nice to sit in a quiet place for meditation and use the same place for

your daily practice, and then you build a subtle energy field, which

supports you each time you sit.

The Healing Meditation

As you begin your meditation, let the body relax, and take your

attention to the breath, watching as you slowly breath in and out. The

breath can bring harmony and balance to your physical body and emotions

and it can calm the mind.

Begin

to become body aware, observe your whole body and notice how it is

feeling. Create a loving field and direct it to your body cells, being

conscious of your heart, lungs and all the major organs. Start to

visualise any part of the body that is diseased or injured, as

beginning to heal.  You can repeat an affirmations “ I am healed†or

“my body is healingâ€. As you repeat this you are tapping into the

spiritual field, which holds the power of all possibilities. Continue

to visualize your body as healthy and whole.

You may want to use your memory to go back to a time when you were

totally healthy and bring that memory strongly into the present.

Intensify the feeling of wellness within yourself, Continue to repeat

the affirmation “I am well†or “ I am healedâ€.   Hold your thoughts on

the healing that is taking place, and direct emotions of love, caring

and tenderness towards the body. Finish with a sense of gratitude,

giving thanks for the healing that is now taking place.

The

Supreme power to heal, lies within you, with this healing meditation

practice you seek to awaken this power. The guide is within you;

meditation helps to awaken this inner guide.  In  the same way as we

can heal our bodies We can also create more peaceful communities by

directing loving attention and intentions towards our community during

 meditation

We

can use meditation  to create a better world or a more healthy body. We

hope you will use this information on your journey to self healing. May

god bless you on your journey.
