At times we may feel alone and deserted to the point that everything may seem hopeless. Instances such as these can happen to anybody. But for someone who ardently seeks and hopes, “something” offers help. It may not be in the guise of a person or a friend, but a warm and loving presence. One which comforts and soothes, one which guides. At some points you may have a similar experience. If you happen to have a sensitive soul, you can feel this presence- an entity perhaps. Thu, 2 Oct 2008 08:14:45 +0200 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/contemplation http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/contemplation Many people are aware of the benefits of meditation, so they seek to know the practice. Living has become stressful for so many, and they are looking for means to cope. Stress and anxiety can be so compelling to the point that it can drive a person out of their senses. Many people seek to find their center, or to gain balance. To be able to cope with stress, and not to be swayed by it or to “fall”. One of the ways for a person to find his center and gain inner balance is through meditation. Meditation as a mind and spiritual practice has withstood the ages. Tue, 5 Aug 2008 16:19:13 +0200 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/inner-peace http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/inner-peace Many people like to be in the company of other people. Whether it be their partner, their friends, colleagues or even strangers. There are people who would just want to hear the noise of daily living- the hustle and bustle, the hurrying and harrying. Are you one of these people? Perhaps you have been so busy listening to what the news say, or what your boss’ orders are, or what your partner says that you have eventually failed to listen to yourself. The noise of the outside world has made you lose touch with what you truly want or need. Mon, 7 Jul 2008 04:15:06 +0200 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/learn-to-meditate http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/learn-to-meditate Stress is a normal part of living - some people can cope with it, others are driven out of their wits because of it. As stressful circumstances are bound to beset everybody, it has to be dealt with. But how- how is it to be able to manage living a productive, happy life despite trying situations? Or in the first place, you might be asking if this is ever possible at all. Well, it certainly is, and it is dependent on that one crucial thing- your attitude. Attitude is generally understood as the way a person thinks. How you THINK. And thinking primarily has to do with your mind. Mon, 9 Jun 2008 16:49:44 +0200 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/peace-of-mind1 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/peace-of-mind1 Peace of mind and inner calmness - don’t these words sound so sweet? Aren’t they what everybody longs for, and the ultimate goal that everybody wants to achieve? It has been said that everything else becomes futile when one doesn’t have peace of mind. Most people say that what they want to have are money and recognition. It all seems so appealing and tempting to want worldly fame and possessions. How about you- what is it that you really want? Sure you may say that you want to be rich and famous, like what almost everybody says. But is it what you really want and is it your ultimate goal? Think for a while what would happen if you have much money and yet you don’t have peace of mind. Mon, 19 May 2008 12:09:53 +0200 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/intuition http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/intuition It is said that all you will ever need to know is inside you. You have that inner knowing and inner truth which serve as answers. All it needs is for you to really look, and see, and to listen. What is that still, small voice inside you? It is called your intuition, and it needs to be heed. Your intuition doesn’t shout and berate you on the choices you make concerning life nor your free will. You yourself must seek to hear its prodding. Intuition waits for you to listen to it. With your intuition, you will be connected to a larger truth - you will see the bigger picture. Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:05:34 +0200 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/spirituality http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/spirituality Spirituality can mean different things to different people. Others find it vague to define such a concept, or state. Oftentimes, spirituality is connoted with religion. Throughout human history, there has been a thin line between the two. To this day, it remains to be even blurred. The term in its truest sense is a broad one. Spirituality is sometimes related with the supernatural. “Things that go bump in the night”, as other people may regard so. The great Spiritualists of the past talked with the dead, and through various techniques at that. This is otherwise known as Spiritualism, and it is often yet associated with spirituality. Wed, 9 Apr 2008 07:32:00 +0200 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/spiritual-awakening http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/spiritual-awakening A spiritual awakening is one of the tremendous gifts which can be bestowed upon a person. With such a state, one can feel exhilarated. Their truest, inner essence has blossomed and their being would be full of awareness and perspective. Outwardly in their life, there may not be significant changes, but inwardly in the spiritual sense, a remarkable shift has occurred. A profound change has in fact been instigated, and one's existence has been transformed from then. What is the unfolding that awaits after a spiritual awakening? As what may seem to be a drastic inward change has taken place, one would naturally want the same change to manifest in their physical life. Fri, 21 Mar 2008 13:23:05 +0100 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/transcendental-meditation2 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/transcendental-meditation2 Growth in its real sense is all-encompassing. It should be geared towards the progression of the mind and spirit and not only of the body. It is in fact the evolution of the mind and the spirit which holds the ultimate sway. The invisible aspects are ironically those which are more of the essence, and they are seated within the inner being. This inner being contains vast energy, and it's boundless. Infinite knowledge and potential are in the self within and they make up the masterpiece which is human being. There is limitless life and power within every human being. Tue, 4 Mar 2008 05:36:57 +0100 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/daily-meditation http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/daily-meditation Living has become a constantly hurrying and harrying endeavor, and one has no choice but to simply keep up. Indeed there is no other way than to cope with the stresses of life. And there are many ways of coping- good and bad. There are those who would resort to smoking and drinking, or even drugs. Others would exercise, have an active social life or engage in activities to unwind. Then there is yet the spiritual path to cope with stress- yoga and daily meditation and the like. Many people regard meditation as something so complex and what spiritual adepts only do. Thu, 7 Feb 2008 13:23:05 +0100 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/spiritual-growth http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/spiritual-growth The quest for spiritual growth is perhaps the most worthwhile endeavor to embark on. A person has three most fundamental aspects- the mind, the body and the spirit. These three aspects have to be nurtured. The body by all means is nourished with food. But what of the intangible aspects- the mind and the body? As much as they are intangible, they are those which are most essential. Many times it has been supposed- that which is invisible is more of the essence. The body can break down. The mind can be in a disarray. But what of the spirit? When a person’s spirit is fortified, it can be unbroken. Mon, 21 Jan 2008 09:21:43 +0100 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/meditation1 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/meditation1 Meditation can mean a host of different things to different people. There are those who meditate for stress relief. To calm the mind with all its disarray brought about by modern living. Meditation can also calm the nerves, thus it is elemental in relaxation. Meditating regularly can keep one centered and focused. This is integral in being productive and functioning efficiently. For a higher purpose, meditation is a spiritual practice. It is a form of raising one’s frequency to enable them to receive messages from higher sources of light. Meditation can do so much to a person’s inner world, to the self within. Tue, 4 Dec 2007 09:38:31 +0100 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/benefits-of-meditation http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/benefits-of-meditation Holistic well-being is achieved by tending to all aspects of your being. It is essential that you take care of your physical health. Your emotional wellness should also be a priority. Mentally you have to be fit, so in this regard you must be mindful. And spiritually, you must make means to progress. The spiritual self, as much as it is intangible, is that substantial aspect which can make or break an individual. The spirit can be strengthened through meditation. The benefits of meditation are all-encompassing. That is from the outward in and from within to the outside. With the spiritual benefits of meditation, one is forged towards enlightenment. Wed, 14 Nov 2007 14:31:35 +0100 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/peace-of-mind http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/peace-of-mind Spiritual adepts seem to constantly advocate the significance of peace of mind. By this it means inner balance, or tranquility which comes from deep within. Within the mind is the soul, they say. And it is the mind and the soul which have the absolute say on an individual’s lot. When one aims on achieving personal success, they should initially work on the mind and the soul. All else will follow. This is where peace of mind comes in. Happiness is a purely subjective matter. But perhaps there is that one ultimate factor which leads to happiness- peace of mind. Tue, 30 Oct 2007 09:58:07 +0100 http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/relaxation-music http://www.healthzine.org/Meditation/relaxation-music Music has a far more reaching effect that you realize. Music can penetrate into the recesses of your psyche. Ever wonder why you hold on to your seat while watching a horror flick complemented with music stirring suspense and a sense of foreboding? Or when you sigh starry eyed listening to love songs while thinking of your man of the hour? Music can tremendously rouse your internal senses, and this applies to relaxation music as well. Listening to certain kinds of music can positively or negatively affect you. After all, music can bring back memories, make latent emotions come to the surface or promote certain feelings.
