Meditation: a health requirement

today's lunch: marinated portobello mushroom sandwich with avocado, lettuce, and tomato on raw sprouted grain bread...delicious






I know it can be tiring to hear about all the new things they have to do every day in order to be healthy. It IS a lot of work when you grow up in a modernized society where we are supposed to work at least 40 hours/week, go drinking with your friends, get enough sleep, etc. All these obligations take time.

However, nothing is more important than health. If you are in pain or unable to enjoy life with others, little else will really matter to you.

When I hear people say they don't have time for such things, what I automatically want to ask them is, "how many hours of TV do you watch per week?" Exercise can only take 3-4 hours per week, and meditation as little as 1-2 hours per week. Can we not eliminate a few of our favorite programs to lengthen our lives and dramatically improve our quality of living?

If you don't make your health a priority, this so-called civilization WILL drag you down and you will be sucked into reality shows, potato chips, and a half-asleep, sedated kind of awareness.

So, yes, no one else may be doing it, but: you have to exercise regularly. You just do. You have to eat foods in their whole, original form. You may not buy things that come in boxes. You may not eat at a fast-food restaurant. You may not eat un-organic meat or dairy products. Yes, I am issuing an ultimatum.

So this one more thing... You have to do it too. You have to meditate.

Let me say right away that meditation does not necessarily equal keeping the mind silent for a certain duration. This may be one type of meditation, and it seems to be meditation's definition to most people. However, I expect this to be a huge deterrent to an otherwise interested person--this the hardest meditation technique out there!! Meditation can be extremely simple and easy.

First of all, what is meditation? There are a lot of ways of looking at this word. Meditation can be a quiet walk in the park and it can be an 8-hour marathon during a retreat. My definition of meditation is a state of receptivity and quiet where you stop doing or thinking about any physical or worldly matter.

What generally happens during meditation, when your intention is set, is divine energy comes down through the top of the head. Energy is simply your life force. It keeps you alive and "energized" when, without this energy, the physical body would die. When we quiet ourselves, we open ourselves to this divine energy.

We are all already connected to it. Every living thing has what is called a spiritual cord going out from the top of the head to this infinite source. In the average person, this cord is very thin, like a thread. In a regular meditator, it is wider. In a saint or highly developed teacher, it can be much wider than the physical body. The larger your cord, the bigger the supply of steady energy. During meditation, the cord expands and then partially retracts again afterward. It's one of your spiritual muscle, and you want to make it as strong as you can.

So you don't have to have a perfectly quiet mind to let this energy in. You just have to be still and set the intention to meditate, to be in a state of relaxation and peace and to receive healing and rejuvenation. Set this intention or ask for it specifically...and I promise you will be heard.

Meditation is your metaphysical daily exercise routine. Remember, healing can be done on a physical or energetic level or both. Energy healing can often be faster than physical. If you are already charging up your energy body daily, you are healing yourself energetically daily. This is extremely powerful.

You will notice significant changes over time if you make this a regular practice. I can tell you what you might expect, or you can just try it yourself. There's already enough written on this topic. Everyone is different, and there's no need to believe what I am saying. Just try it for yourself and prove or dis-prove it.

One thing I've noticed with myself is that if I go a long time without meditation, I start to get slightly depressed. The world also starts looking very one-dimensional, dull, depressing, linear, and also infuriating. Everything is infused with energy and has its own "magic." You will have very little sense of this truth if you have no energetic healing or meditation experience to expand yourself. Meditation gives me a sense of excitement.

So, yes, robust health does take time. But your meditation doesn't have to take longer than 15 minutes a day. And at least you don't need to pay for a gym membership....

P.S. At pranichealing.com you can purchase the CD for the Meditation on Twin Hearts. It takes 20 minutes and is extremely powerful. It is designed to flush out the energy body of negativity and congestion and then powerfully energize it.

This website has totally changed my day-to-day view of spirituality. I have read many books on the subject and understand the whole topic to be a lot more dynamic than "God helped us write a book called the Bible 2,000 years ago." But this blog really takes it to the next level.

The writer of this blog is Brian Scibetta. He's an 18-year-old indigo from Portland, OR who started the blog, I think, when he was only 16.

First of all, what is an indigo? You usually see this term as "indigo child," but in talking about someone in their teens or older, the word "child" doesn't really work, so I leave it off. However, most indigos are young because this is a new vibration of human that did not exist before this time in human history.

People can be described based on the dominant color in their aura. Everyone has one or two dominant colors that will determine their personality or maybe worldview or possibly spiritual abilities to a certain degree. The indigos are called as such because the dominant color in their aura is the color indigo. These people are basically born with more advanced levels of perception. Although many people throughout history have had clairvoyant and other special senses, indigos universally have heightened perception in one or more ways which can include clairvoyance, advanced healing abilities, and general increased awareness that in children sometimes gets labeled as ADD. (It's not attention deficit but attention surplus, being able to focus on so much at the same time.) They see easily through lies and other nonsense and cannot be fooled in any way. This is a very brief description and I am probably leaving a lot out, but that's the general idea. Please do more research if you are interested--there's a fabulous book you can read called The Children of Now.

Brian has the ability to speak directly to God and to his and others' angels. He is also clairvoyant and is a powerful energy healer. He started doing readings for people a few years ago and a little later started the blog. The blog is a way for any visitor to submit a question for God, and Brian will answer it for free (one per person, please) and post it. Reading this blog is beyond-fascinating, and reading it regularly will bring an element of spirituality to your daily life, and an awareness otherwise difficult to gain. I think the blog, with chosen questions and answers, would make a great book.

If you read it for a period of months, you will start knowing most answers to questions before they are written. You start to see the patterns of how life works whether regarding romantic relationships, getting a job, how to find The One, forgiveness, loved ones who have passed away, how angels work, how to heal yourself, and also some larger mysteries regarding religion, spirituality, and the universe.

This is what I've learned from reading it regularly:

-Everyone has at least one soul mate option, and as soon as you make room for this person in your life (a.k.a. end your current unsatisfactory relationship), decide exactly what you want in that person, and say no to everyone else along the way, then ask God to bring them, that person will come.

-Everyone has at least one angel with them all the time, and this being is with you to help you with any matter, large or small. they cannot help unless you ask!!!! They must be invited in to heal you, to heal others, to remove roadblocks in your life, to give you advice, and everything else. Talk to them every day and multiple times a day!! You don't have to know how many or what their names are (if they have names), just know they are there. They are waiting to hear from you!

-There are negative forces that can impact us, though they are very weak. However, if you are sick, having strange nightmares, pains, or addictions, it could be from such negativity. It is easy to remove this--just ask your angels and/or God to do so, and it will happen instantly! To keep your energy strong and resistant against such pests, meditate regularly.

-After death, there is only heaven.

-Many of us are not getting what we want because we don't know what we want. If you are not getting what you want, get very very clear on what it is you want. Then ask God and your angels to help bring it to you.

-Lastly and most importantly: MEDITATE. This is not an option. I repeat, this is not an option. Meditation is not for some. It is for all. It is in virtually every answer to every question. Why? When you meditate, you invite God in. It's much harder for God to be with you in a significant, helpful way if you don't invite Him in and spend at least 15 or so minutes a day with Him. We can live and breathe because of two factors: physical energy and spiritual energy. When you meditate, you "eat" your spiritual energy for the day. You can starve yourself of this energy all your life, but you'll make it much harder on yourself in every single area. This is the #1 way for God to communicate with you. You may not hear Him say during meditation, "hey, buddy, quit your job," but you will start to notice over time that your thinking becomes clearer, you seem to know better what to do in different situations, and your own negative thoughts seem reduced which is because they are getting cleaned out on a regular basis. Meditation is your spiritual bath. It cleans out the mental/emotional crappy buildup. In the same way, your physical bath cleans out dirty physical buildup.

You can purchase Brian's meditation CD from his website, or you can just sit in a very quiet spot and invite God and your angels to heal you and bring you peace and clarity. Then just sit in a receptive, relaxing position for several minutes. I am partial to the Meditation on Twin Hearts, created by Master Choa Kok Sui and available from the Pranic Healing website www.pranichealing.com. It is a very powerful guided meditation that flushes out the energy body and then charges it with lots of fresh prana (energy). It will vastly increase your divine connection over time, and you will notice serious changes in your life if you practice it regularly, which I can tell you from experience.

And much, much more.

I can only recommend to everyone that they read this blog, it's 20 times better than most self-help books on the market, and it's 100% free to read! Plus, ask a question. It is awe-inspiring to hear God talk to you this way, and you will feel peace in reading the answer to your heart's question. For a full reading from Brian, click on the link to his website from the blog for info. I have had a reading with him myself, and it was amazing.

Happy New Year!

The first day of the new year seemed like a good time to begin this blog! I have been pondering the idea for a while. My husband suggested it because he knows I like to write. I latched onto the idea when I thought about making it a place to discuss my learning and ideas related to nutrition, spirituality, and energy, my personal passions. I would like to hear from others with knowledge and interests in these areas.

My other goal is to spread awareness of spirituality and energy healing. Energy healing either already is or WILL be the biggest breakthrough of my generation. Energy, auras, and chakras are real and scientifically verified. They are so easy to maintain, manipulate, and heal, with only a small amount of education required to be able to produce even miraculous healings. This will completely revolutionize health and healing as we know it.

Please check out these two websites to take a look at the modality I use which is called Pranic Healing.

www.pranichealing.com

www.yourhandscanhealyou.com --on this site, please click on the link "Praise"; you will be surprised at the familiar faces there, including Deepak Chopra and Dr. Oz.

Pranic Healing was developed by Master Choa Kok Sui through thousands of scientific experiments which verified the success of his system. Tradition, culture, and religion were set aside completely as Master Choa tried everything he had heard of and threw out anything that didn't work. What remains is an incredibly streamlined, simple, easy-to-learn method. Pranic Healing levels I, II, and III can each be taken in one full weekend. Pranic Healing can heal physical, emotional, and addiction ailments, sometimes in astonishingly little time.

I'll be back soon.

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!
