Have you ever been in a fogged state of mind to come out of it and feel completely renewed? This is what happened to me! I started meditating in 2008, but admittedly during 2009 I practiced it vaguely. A few days ago I started meditating again, but during this time I would do it a little differently. I decided I would pray and expressed gratitude for both the good and the bad in my life. After the first day I knew something wonderful was beginning. Yesterday morning I sat at my desk, positioned myself comfortably and played my meditation music. I did a couple deep breaths and then thanked God for everything. I asserted my strength back into my life. My breathing changed as this was taking place and I could feel my body going limp. I was fully embracing the practice once again and it felt amazing!!
I have never played the helpless role before and I'm not about to start now. I thanked God for the people who've hurt me. Each of them have taught me somethings about life and about myself. I am a child of God above all other titles and I take that to heart. He promises us as long as we believe in him and live as he wishes us to no one can truly take anything away from us. I am now living on that promise even stronger than before. After my meditation I felt lighter as if a huge load of junk had been lifted from my heart. I was literally breathing easier! I found it my friends! I have been reunited with peace and have gotten my spiritual groove back!
Thank You Father!!
You have such a beautiful spirit, my friend. I've been slacking in my neighborliness, but now that I'm back in the swing again, I wanted to stop in and say hello. Happy spring!
ReplyDeleteTabitha, you have it going on, Maybe I need to meditate, I am working on, but still at a place where my mind can wonder...you make me want to be a better person. hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Embracing the good and the bad, so liberating! I'm seeing the people who hurt me as teachers too, it really helps doesn't it. Take care.
ReplyDeleteTabitha,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you! Reaching a place of deep peace is so connecting to our soul.
My son urges me to try meditation, and now hearing about your experience, I think I will try!
ReplyDeleteBut I will have to have the courage to let go of the hurts that I am carefully saving!!!
That is wonderful!! I've been curious...what music do you listen to? And do you block all things from your mind or just focus on the things in your life? I know you mentioned the good and bad, but I always think of those silly tv shows that say, 'clear your mind...'
ReplyDeleteI've started trying to meditate, but it's hard because my husband, cat and I live in a one room apartment. Hopefully I can start and really get into it!!
Gratitude, Forgiveness and Love for it is in the giving of each that we receive the Peace they bring. Blessings to you my friend. Love and Light, Nina P
ReplyDeleteSuch a blessing for me to read this! I need to take that time to sit too...to reconnect and find peace. Blessings to you my dear friend. xoxo
ReplyDeletemeditation is always wonderful...and i am happy that you are finding peace. lots of love to you!
ReplyDeleteLoving the groove,

Reading your post makes me want to jump back into meditating. I used to it do it many, many years ago.
