Why People Give Up Meditating and You Won’t
Before you start to meditate it is important to understand the mechanics behind the process. Most people give up meditating very early on because they don’t truly know what they should be experiencing. In fact they don’t realise that what they are experiencing is a direct result of exactly what we want to achieve – the releasing of stress
Most people start meditating expecting to enter a blissful state of alternative consciousness - and then immediately start wondering what to have for dinner or whether they’ve put the cat out. This to start with, believe it or not, is meditating.
As we have already discovered through out your life you experience a whole raft of stressful situations which leave stress knots within your energy system and subconscious mind. If left unchecked the stress can and often does manifest itself as physical illness or some sort of psychosis or phobia. Your body, mind and spirit are literally in a state of dis-ease - out of balance.
Now, imagine that your body is a lattice going back to your birth at the bottom and the most recent events taking place at the top. Each time you encounter a stressful situation a stress knot is attached to the grid of the lattice. Some stress knots are released straight away if they’re not too severe. However over a life time you will still end up with a lot of pent up stress knots.
What happens when you start meditating is that you get relaxed, start focussing on your chosen technique and straight away hit a stress knot in your grid. The knot then unfurls and releases itself in the form of a thought or as a slight pain.
The key is to let the thought or pain drift away and bring your attention back to the meditation.
As a newcomer to meditation you’ll very soon hit another knot, and so have another thought and then another, and another. Just let them go - drifting away like clouds. The more you meditate the more stress is released and the purer your meditation sessions become as the knots become fewer and further apart. And the more stress you release, the better you will feel. Once these stresses have been released your sessions will become deeper, more profound and have massive long-term benefits. The removal of random clutter from your mind will allow more intuitive, visionary information to come through. You’ll find the answers to unresolved problems and conundrums and learn to trust in yourself.
So you see this is a highly beneficial and essential part of the meditative process and the reason you won’t be put off at the first hurdle.
