DO I NEED A PHYSICAL PSYCHIC TO HELP ME DO THIS?
This is a very common response. You would think that once you get the courage to practice these days, you just go out and do it, and everything works out. But a holistic, spiritual approach can impact so much on our day-to-day lives.
In order to practice meditation you need to study the tools for deep relaxation on your own. Take the time to learn and practice these techniques so that you can talk yourself into a state of spiritual calm when you start experiencing stress.
Often, you will get a signal that you are in meditation mode once you begin, so it can be helpful to hear it. Sometimes it may be a “silent cry,” a “stress release,” or a “nesting cry.” Train yourself to respond by:
Listening to the energy of the breath and directing your attention in the direction of it
Saying a silent prayer, thanking the divine for what you are about to experience
Reverting to the moment you chose to start the meditation
WORK TO EXPERIENCE PEACE IN THE PRESENT MINDSET
The Dalai Lama says: “We have to renew our relationship with reality. Reality is a problem, just like life itself. How can we deal with this at all without effort? By recognizing a flaw and repairing it.”
Practicing mindfulness is important because as we experience our reality, we grow. When we get a feeling of stress or confusion, we often give off a sign. Is it an attack on our mood or a reaction to our mood? Do you feel as if you can’t control your situation? You might want to practice slow rhythmic movements, keeping your breathing flowing. This helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system and release stress, thereby minimizing the reaction to your environment.
When you bring your attention to whatever you are doing, you’ll feel a shift to calmness and to feeling centered. Though you are experiencing mindfulness, the ability to perceive your surrounding circumstances is actually the result of practice. Practicing awareness and mindfulness for a period of time diminishes the difficult information on your mind and forces it out of your awareness.
TAKE THE TIME TO BEING WITH YOUR SOUL
If you feel able to try this as a part of your daily activity, turn off your phone and tune into your inner workings. This is especially helpful when you start feeling stressed. Meditation might be just the antidote to stress.
We all want to be happy. You might not always be able to see where this happiness is coming from, or if it is even possible. Not everyone is happy all the time. However, when we notice those times when the path of happiness seems darker than usual, we often turn to meditation and prayer as a way to restore our heart and spirit. Doing something to restore yourself, even if it is just a few minutes each day, is a large step toward increasing your happiness.
“It is only with the inner compass that we will be able to complete the task of being here now.” – Peter Griffin
