Healing Power of Meditation

Healing power of meditation is well known and documented over the centuries. Meditation forms the core of alternative healing therapies in the east while they are well know to the western world as a form of relaxation.

Alternative therapy is not alternative medicine or a method of treating disease. It is a way of life. Alternative therapies are a wholesome, holistic and natural way of living.

Meditation is one such system of alternative therapy. Meditation helps in achieving a perfect state of equilibrium of the mind and the body. Meditation apart from the esoteric and the mystique connotations, offers perfect rest for the heart and the brain. In this moment of deep rest, every cell is permeated with and charged by the energy conserved due to the restfulness.

Anyone can meditate irrespective of age and state of health. All it requires is a little practice. Sitting comfortably on any even surface without discomfiture is all you require to get started with meditation.

Relax consciously and focus your entire concentration on your breathing. When you focus on the breath, within minutes it starts to slow down and deeper levels of relaxation is achieved. As your mind is pinpointed on your breath, mind slows down and no extraneous thoughts flow through your mind. Disharmonic patterns vanish. A feeling of timelessness and perfection is achieved.

Time is a distorting element with the past and present creating a separation. The mind jumps from the past to the future which is yet to be born. This dissipates the mental energies which is the creative force. Meditation brings everything into oneness and a sense of just being in the present. When you are totally centered in the present just absorbing what is rather than what was and what would be you are able to create the a world undistorted by the past or future and creative energies can unleashed to accomplish healing in all aspects.

Daily meditation can help you to develop your immunity. Your mind is healthy and positive. Stress and tensions are relieved. You are able to focus better. Meditation helps develop the ability to think and translate thoughts into action due to focusing and directing your energies where you require it.
