Meditation and the Chakras

Meditation is a wonderful method to use in assisting ones self to a higher sense of balance. Meditation reorganizes thoughts and feelings as they surface without acting on them. There is scientific research showing increased activity in the area of the brain linked to a positive emotional state as well as significantly more antibody production then in those who do not meditate. Sit, relax and pay attention to your breathing, work through life through acceptance instead of trying to force change. Meditation in a way is a form of personal Feng Shui, for it helps one to un-clutter the mind bringing new opportunities and relationships that encourage us to relinquish ineffective behaviors and stretch outside our comfort zone. This is not always a comfortable journey but is never the less powerfully transforming if we choose to rise to the challenges presented by these opportunities and relationships. It is when we choose instead to remain safely within the familiar behaviors and attitudes the transformating powers of meditative Feng Shui are blocked and the significant transitions we have hoped for often do not materialize. In other words, we have failed to un-clutter our minds, letting go of nonproductive behaviors and attitudes that are limiting our potential. If meditation does not appear to be working for you then perhaps one needs to look at ones personal belief system and values. Having only materialistic aspirations will indeed hinder one in the journey of life, keep in mind that what marks this journey is not the pile of things we leave behind, but what we leave behind of ourselves, the mark we leave on others. With this in mind, what will your mark be? Be sure to document all of your meditation insights in your Book of Shadows, this will help you reflect back on them and take a different and deeper look at your life through meditation.
