Meditation is ESSENTIAL to Everyday Living
Meditating to make it. This may not be appealing and even feel time consuming but it is a simple life necessity to navigate through your daily life and positively increase your overall mental and emotional health.
ADD MEDITATION TO YOUR DAILY PRACTICE
There are many misconceptions about meditating. Some people have actually said that it is "not right". Their religious thoughts about meditating is that you are channeling someone other than GOD, while others actually just think it's stupid.
Is it stupid because you simply just don't understand how to meditate and have you really researched the history of meditation and it's benefits? Just because you may see someone chanting "OM" does not mean that they are not connecting with GOD. In fact, it is a Sanskrit word that translates to 'source' or 'supreme and most people that meditate connect to their source and supreme which is GOD.
You must research before you can make a decision on meditation. It may not be your cup of tea, but at least do the research first. We’re here to help you with that.
When most believers want to connect with God they call out to him because in the bible it says that we can call on him at any time, God is omnipresent. Whether that is falling to your knees, sitting in silence or having a prayer closet, there is some act that is taking place so that you can have a conversation with GOD. Let’s be honest. How many times have you tried to pray and your mind was so distracted that it was difficult to have that prayer connection? You may have been worried about work, bills, kids, etc and you just had trouble connecting.
Meditation is also another way to connect to GOD. It is the stillness that meditators are activating first. They calm and control their breathing, minds, release anything that surfaces and create a spiritual space to have that connection.
MEDITATION DEFINITELY INCREASES YOUR FAITH
When meditating you try to manifest and hold intentions for your higher self, heal, do shadow work and many other reasons that may surface throughout life. When you create that quiet space and connect with your source (GOD) you are asking for assistance in these areas from your source. Yes, some people will pray to the Universe and ask the universe for assistance. But most people who meditate want to connect to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (and even their Angels). In prayer we believers thank GOD in advance because we have faith that his word will not return void.
In meditation, we go to GOD with concerns, create a space to visualize what we want and thank GOD for the experience while we were alone with him and he downloaded information to us. We also leave it up to GOD to make decisions that are for our highest and best. So, we may not get the raise we wanted at our current job, but we are open to another job opening up where we would receive the money we need to help care for our family.
When you meditate and you can visualize yourself at your highest and best you are working with your subconscious because that is where the doubt lies. If you cannot convince your subconscious that you deserve these things and be able to visualize yourself (working that muscle) operating at your highest and best self it may be hard for you to pray and say that you have “faith that things will work out”.
Doing the work and learning to meditate (quiet your mind and clear a space so that you have a connection with GOD) and seeing it come to fruition increases your faith. It is an “Aha” moment where you realize that by doing this work and constantly connecting with God (and yourself) you feel so empowered. It makes you want to be alone with God even more. It is an indescribable spiritual connection that makes you want to learn more about meditation and increase your relationship with God.
It is ok to be a believer and pray to God the way you were taught as well as meditate to connect deeply with him. We should all have our own personal deep relationship with HIM.
