Yesterday with
my first treatment, it was also more of a battle of the mind. How can I be in my body and really experience
this healing treatment and shut off the chitter chatter. I felt grateful to be
a meditation teacher and to have lots of tricks up my sleeve. I tried them all and I think it was the
combination of them that worked. But it
was hard work and I hope today will be easier.
My favourite meditation
technique is the focus your attention on the back of your brain meditation. Its where you imagine what your brain looks
like, your hair, your neck, it’s so easy you can even do it for just 30 seconds
at any time and it will change your focus especially if you are experiencing
stress. I like it because it’s a
reminder that we are the ones in control of our brain. It’s designed to take the focus away
from your frontal lobe which is where
you mind runs around with your to-do lists, etc etc, etc.
I also try the Chakra
re-energising meditation where you visualise different coloured flowers or
gemstones at the 7 different Chakra points of your body, starting with the root
Chakra – just don’t forget to close them down by coming back down from the
crown chakra and visualising a golden light at each chakra point coming back
down to your root chakra at the base of your spine.
As you probably know
that scientific research into meditation has proven that it will
increase the production in your brain of many vital neuro-chemicals, which will
slow down ageing and enhance your ability to fight illness.
·
It will also dramatically reduce any stress and help
you to overcome any anxiety and depression.
·
Meditation creates remarkable emotional changes and
will enhance your emotional health.
·
By meditating you will also heighten your creativity
and problem solving abilities.
·
You will experience more restful sleep and it will
increase your motivation and confidence.
·
Meditation is known to boost your intelligence and
enhance your memory.
·
And it will help you to increase your focus,
concentration and learning ability.
And overall by meditating you will experience more
happiness and "flow" in your life.
