Meditation: What’s the purpose & benefit?

Have you ever asked yourself why meditate and turn your attention within? What’s the purpose of quieting the mind, getting grounded and centered? What’s the point of it anyway? Do you use meditation to solve your problems? Why bother meditating when things are going well? What’s the benefit? These are interesting questions to ponder!

Often times I come across people who only meditate when they are going through tough times. Other times I hear from people that they are going through tough times and they can’t meditate. It does surprise me that the simple act of quieting the mind is so difficult when the drama and chaos of life, in other words ‘a growth period’, stops us from doing the very thing that is needed to get through it!

Meditation helps you get through a growth period FASTER! It allows you to find answers by listening, changes your vibration and gives any energy or problems that you’ve taken on from others to gently fall away. A grounded meditation and release actually gives the energy a place to go. Meditation helps you access your inner sanctuary and is a safe place to get away from the swirling chaos. It’s very much like taking a vacation from your life for a few moments.

Meditation doesn’t solve problems. You don’t need to “solve” anything! In fact, you are not a problem, your life is not a problem and NOTHING needs solving! You were born into your body to learn and experience exactly what you are learning and experiencing! It would be wonderful if our lives were all perfect with nary a stumbling block but that is not the case. Meditation doesn’t make your life perfect and bring you everything you want. It does however, bring you into present time and might even allow an answer or two to sneak in! Trust me, your problems will still be there when you finish meditating but perhaps they won’t seem as monumental as beforehand.

Meditation creates a sense of peace. It allows you to change your perspective about what’s going on. Much of the time you will notice that most of the chaos has nothing to do with you personally, however it also allows you to own the part you played…and there is always some part you played. If you find it difficult to quiet down your thoughts, just allow them to float by, acknowledge them and the fact that you have that much going on then bring your attention back to the peace and safety of your inner sanctuary.

Why meditate when things are going well? When everything is happy and moving along smoothly taking the time to meditate not only helps keep things moving along smoothly but when (not if) you run into a road block you will handle it more easily. It is a great time to dream, create something new and focus on your passion. It is a time to validate all that you are and shine your light even more brightly.  Each time you do this when you are feeling good, your body will remember what it feels like and make it easier to come back to that space other times!

The great thing about meditation is that by changing your vibration, you change your life and heal. You change how you view life with its many obstacles AND find answers for how to handle them. You don’t need anyones permission and you may even heal those areas of your life where you feel stuck! Don’t believe me?

Being in your Flow~There’s an app for that!

The great part about this “application” is that there’s nothing to install and there are no special permissions necessary for download! You already have your own internal app and all you have to do is access it! Although this application is always running in the background when you run it with intention it clearly works better. 🙂

Please read the most Frequently Asked Questions about this application below. It is also important to read the WARNING  & disclaimer listed after the FAQs about this application if you choose to use it.

FAQs:                                                                                                                                                      Q:  How is this “flow” application designed?                                                                         A:  This application is designed by YOU and the images that you wish to use. Since you already have this application in place it is merely taking the time to tune in to those connections and watch as the energy of the earth, cosmos and your own unique energy flows through you. From time to time you may want to update, re-create and/or widen out your connections if you plan on using it to heal and cause great change in your life.

Q: What exactly does running this application do?  Why should I bother if it’s running in the background?                                                                                                           A:  This application brings you into a present time space. It allows you to become balanced and strengthens your connection to the earth & universe making it safe for you to then run your own personal energy through you.  It also allows for a faster & smoother release of those things you wish to let go of. This application is particularly helpful in clearing out pain or old dreams that no longer have meaning or apply to your current life as well as making an energetic space for what you want to come into your life.

Q: How often can I or should I access this application?                                                  A: It is best to use this application every day. Many people only use it when things aren’t going well in their life. This causes peaks and valleys to growth and may also cause the application to ‘freeze’ or get stuck. If this is the case rest assured the application is still working! The more you access it, the stronger it becomes. Occasionally you may want to get some “tech support” if you are truly stuck. Tech support info is located at the end of this blog. 🙂

Q: How do I access this application?                                                                                       A: Accessing your application is easy! All you have to do is sit in a chair with your feet flat on the ground. Rest your attention behind your eyes, notice your breathing and your body.  Visualize a connection from the base of your spine to the center of the earth. Watch as all the energy that you wish to release flows down that connection. Now visualize a beautiful golden sun above your head and soak up as much as you need in order to replenish yourself. While using this application it is also advised to clearly see and feel those things you wish to manifest in your life.

WARNING!!! ACCESSING THIS APPLICATION CAUSES HEALING, CLEARING RESISTANCE AND CREATES GROWTH AND CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE! IT MAY ALSO GIVE YOU A NEW OUTLOOK , SERENITY AND CREATE SPACE FOR YOU TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS REALITY! DO NOT ACCESS THIS APPLICATION IF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR CHANGE, HAPPINESS,  CLARITY AND MANIFESTING IN YOUR LIFE!!!

Disclaimer: The author of this post takes no responsibility for the wonderful things you will discover about yourself by using this application. How and when you use this application to heal is solely at the discretion of the individual user. 🙂 Shine Your Light~Debbie
