Meditation is a completely unique and personal experience and even for the same person no two meditations will be the same. For many years and very intermittently I practiced meditation and to varying degree thought some were successful, some were not, I was getting somewhere, I was getting nowhere, this is really good, this just doesn’t work. At some point, and it wasn’t during a meditation, I must have changed the way I look at this whole process because now I look back and can see that every meditation did something to me. Every meditation has healed me on some level of which there are very many levels. Just the very act of meditation, the very willpower to detach from this external world, even for a minute, is enough to make a difference.
There are just as many meditations out there as there are grains of sand on a beach, and many, many better resources than mine. Therefore I will only talk of my experience, when I started to look at meditation in a different light. Dr Joe Dispenza introduced me to a whole new way of meditating. From attempting a 15 minute, passive, still, clear, empty, disengaged mind to a 75 minute, active, guided, focused, concentrated, engaged mind. I now realise like most things a balance of both is a good way to go.
Dr Joe’s most popular meditation is the Blessing of the Energy Centers of which there are at last count eight different versions each building upon the last. These meditations get us to stretch our willpower and focus our awareness by concentrating on the energy within and around each chakra. Bringing the attention and intention to the chakras is a great place to start to get energy moving.
