The benefits of meditation have been well-documented over the years, but, for me, it is all about being able to connect with your own light and your own heaven. Regular meditation sets you up to be able to deal with life’s challenges because you can dive into the dimensions of your higher self and receive guidance. You can practise meditation either first thing in the morning, to allow you to get your day off to a good start, or on an evening, to help you to unwind at the end of a busy day and promote a good night’s sleep. It is personal preference after all, and no matter how you manage to fit in time in your daily routine for meditation, you will be able to enjoy the rewards.
So, how can meditation help you? Meditation can be practised as part of a mindfulness approach because it brings more awareness for living in the moment. By shutting out exterior influences and focusing on the here and now, you can gain a greater appreciation for the current time. Meditation can therefore strengthen your love for yourself, your environment, as well as the people and places around you. It is a fantastic tool for helping you to gain a better life experience.
Modern life is demanding and it is all too easy to get swamped by its expectations. Taking time for yourself to step off the hamster wheel and engage in the practice of meditation can assist you in feeling calmer and more relaxed. As a result, you may be able to cope with your day job or family responsibilities more easily. I believe we could save a fortune on drugs such as antidepressants if the healthcare services were to prescribe meditation as a method for combating some experiences of stress, anxiety, low mood or depression. Putting your emotional wellbeing first should be a priority for everyone, and medication is not always the answer. By giving you a sense of calm, meditation allows you to leave your worries behind and focus your attention on connecting with some higher energy. After a session, my clients often tell me that they leave feeling happier, re-energised and less stressed.
Meditation is used as part of spiritual practice because it enables you to stay centred and focused on your spiritual practice. Whatever your goals and ambitions, by introducing regular meditation into your journey, you will feel clearer on the next steps you need to take. You can notice a real difference in your productivity by making time for meditation in your daily life.
I love the idea of many individuals coming together with one purpose in mind. Meditation is therefore great for creating connections and improving relationships. We are social beings that thrive in the company of others. There is nothing more pleasurable than seeing a group of people come together for meditation, sharing in this wonderful experience. Not only does it offer more self-awareness, but meditation also helps us to understand others better, which is an important method for encouraging empathy and kindness.
At the Starlight Center, I practise heart meditation, which is designed to bring alignment and presence into your heart chakra. The calm, light-filled space here invites you to focus on your inner core and find peace and love within yourself. You can then easily connect with the light of your origin and communicate with the spiritual world as a natural part of your daily life. If you are searching for yourself, you will find answers in the truth of your own heart!
