Overcoming Fear and Doubt
Your thoughts rule your world. No person, place, or thing can control your life. When experiencing times of doubt repeat the following or similar phrase “There is nothing to fear. God's love is at work and Divine Results appear”. This will help your thinking get back on track for it is your thoughts that rule your world.
Stress Management
To maintain a feeling of inner peace and control over your life you need to spend time each day in silence or meditation. At least 20-30 minutes a day will help you to feel relaxed and find answers to your problems by helping you to get rid of the clutter in your mind that prevents solutions from being found.
Meditation techniques
There is no perfect meditation technique. The goal is to reach a state of relaxation where our thoughts are non-existent. One technique is to lay or sit down and listen to calm, relaxing music while you breathe in and out. Focus on your breath. If a thought enters your mind gently let it go. Keep breathing in and out slowy for several minutes. In the beginning a few minutes is all you may be able to do. With practice you can meditate for long periods of time.
Connecting to God
One of the best ways to connect to Divine Intelligence or God is through meditation. It is here that we receive Divine Inspiration and solutions to our so-called problems in life. Through meditation we are able to tap into our sixth sense and access our "psychic" abilities.
Reducing stress
If you are having a hard time entering a relaxing, meditative state try focusing on your breathing. Take several deep breaths. Feel your breath going in, then feel your breath going out. Notice your thoughts, but do not focus on them or try to understand them. Accept your thoughts then let them go. Continue doing this as long as you desire, and feel the peace flowing through you.
Benefits of Meditation
A benefit of meditation is the feeling of calmness that overtakes you when you slow down your breathing and elimate the constant chatter of you thoughts. This feeling of calmness helps to reduce stress and bring more peace into your life.
Health and Meditation
Many studies have suggested that people who meditate regularly are healthier, have lower blood pressure, and can look as much as 20 years younger! This is a good practice to get in the habit of doing.
Calming Body and Mind
Another way to achieve a relaxing, meditative state is to listen to guided meditation and relaxation tapes and CDs. These are especially good for people who have a hard time relaxing on their own. By focusing on another's voice or soothing music you are able to guiet the mind and achieve a relaxing state of being.
