Meditation – Is it worth it?
Recently I’ve managed to make a dream come true. I’ve got tickets to go to an Advanced Retreat in the Sunshine Coast to experience Dr Joe Dispenza with my beautiful daughter Nanci. One of things we need to do as part of the course is watch 22 hours of Joe’s work. Which I am absolutely LOVING. Part of these exercises, we need to do certain meditations. These meditations I have done many times over the past 4 years. Joe D is one of my favorite types of meditations.
I have found late last year, my meditations were a little stale. I wasn’t reaching consistent highs. I would only reach that delicious state perhaps once a fortnight. It’s funny, even whilst I’m writing this, it sounds like I’m addicted to some sort of drug. Lol. But I can honestly say, that high state, when being in a beautiful meditation is a feeling like no other. It’s oneness, it’s connection, it’s unconditional love. I guess that is why I’m addicted to meditating every day. After all if I offered this elixir in a bottle, would you buy?
Absolutely. I certainly would.
This year, my meditations have taken on a new high, a new connection, and its consistent.
I got to thinking, what’s changed? What’s different?
Well I’m listening more to Dr Joe and his video’s. I do notice that my body goes into a ‘high’ state just listening to him. It’s as if my brain has been programmed into feeling good when listening to his work. The other things that have changed, I’m definitely eating better and spending more time on myself, with reducing my work days.
But what I think it is, is consistency. No matter what, I am doing my 45 minutes every morning. At night, I’m doing 15-30 minutes. I’m building the energy in my meditation space in my house, which then builds the energy within me. After all, if listening to Dr Joe brings me to that state, then performing the same task in the same place will build the energy also.
It makes sense.
So here are my tips.
- If you’ve been struggling recently. Get back on the horse. If you’ve lost your mojo, find something that raises your vibration and do that before the meditation.
- Be consistent, even if it’s consistently 5 minutes a day, but do it.
- Don’t beat yourself up if your mind wanders. Notice, and bring your mind back to the present moment. Your mind will at some stage realise that it can’t beat you, that you’ll keep doing it and it will relent.
- Don’t give up. As Confucius said, “The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones”
- And finally unplug, and plug into what really matters, YOU. Your inner you.
