Meditation is a great way to connect with your spirituality. Not only that but we can actually heal our mind and body through meditation.

Helllo again Damien,
Not long ago I was in the city visiting a friend and was overwhelmed with the noise that is present every hour of every day and all through the night. The pace of life all around me and the sounds seemed deafening but I knew if I continued to think that kind of thought that I would develop a headache. Suddenly I remembered the teaching of my meditation instructors and I asked my friend to give me a 1/2 hour alone.

I shut the sliding glass door to the balcony to get cut down the volume of the music that my friend was enjoying inside the apartment. Then I just sat in a comfortable position on a lawn chair with my eyes closed. Once I felt all my muscles grow soft from the tips of my toes to my eyelids, I implanted the suggestion in my mind that it would be really nice if my hearing was keen enough to turn the volume up on the nature sounds.

Time passed as I followed my out breath, not changing it and not thinking of anything else. I began encouraging my ears to tune into the sound of the wind through the leaves on the trees, the birdsong and, then the insect hum. I had not a single thought about noise and therefore was barely conscious of it and was able to make a gentle shift into a state of deep relaxation.

Twenty minutes later my friend opened the sliding door and asked if I was ready to go shopping. I was. I felt really renewed and quite content.

I have learned that these small shifts are akin to recharging my batteries. They provide me with a power reserve that I draw on to maintain balanced emotions throughout my busy, buzzy days.

Namaste’

@Namaste: I could visualize what you were talking about. Excellent comment. I hope someone gets the message from it. When I turn everything electronic off, I actually feel my cells regenerating.
