Metaphysical manifestation through meditation

Introspection is the best form of spiritual evaluation. Meditation is the best form of introspection spiritually and metaphysically. It is said all our answers lie within. It is through meditation we tap into our spiritual source. There are many types of meditation and perhaps it does not matter which type of meditation is chosen as the fact that some type of meditation is needed to acquire a clearer perspective. Wiki defines meditation as a practice in which an individual trains the mind and/or induces a mode of consciousness to realize some benefit, although it can be argued that meditation is a goal in and of itself. Wiki makes the comparison of meditation to sports. What a great analogy!

What if meditation were a competitive sport? 
The rewards would be peace love success prosperity and abundance. Everyone would be a winner!
Some important points to remember on spirituality and meditation:

Perhaps you play some soothing music. Find a comfortable spot where you will not be disturbed and just relax. There are numerous techniques and they key is to find a style and/or method that works for you.
It is all up to you, for it is all within you. Some people need a guided meditation.  Start somewhere Goggle different techniques, as a beginning, an introduction to the silence. Try various techniques until you find one that works for you.  This isn't a one size fits all protocol.  Meditation is a practice and like any sport the more you practice the more inclined you are to succeed.

1 Peter 4:7 The end of all things is near: A metaphysical perspective on sobriety

1 Peter verse 4:7 reads: The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. The apostle Peter represents the metaphysical faculty of  faith  and is located in the center of the brain according to The Twelve Powers by Charles Fillmore.
In order to receive the highest and best in life it is necessary to give up that which is holding one back.   In the instance of addiction this would involve releasing the need for external stimulants.  In the principles of alcoholic anonymous it is described as surrendering to a higher power.  Spiritual development manifests from within and is brought forth through words.  Spirituality is defined in the Revealing Word as the consciousness that relates man directly to his Father-God. 
Words have power so it is imperative to be alert and sober in mind and speech in order to manifest your desired outcome.  

The practice of meditation has the ability to still the mind, calm the spirit and create a space conducive to manifestation.  Alcohol and drugs on the other hand numb the mind and the spirit of libation can create hallucinations of fear, stress, anxiety, etc.  Meditation promotes peace.
Prayer has been described as talking to God.  Have you ever tried to have a logical conversation while inebriated?  What are you seeking to manifest?  Is it clear and concise or scattered and irrational?  
It is possible to manifest easily and effortlessly from a state of peace. The end of pain and suffering begins with sobriety. 

 

Benefits of meditation

I have met lots of folks who meditate, as a matter of fact I hosted a serious meditation group for over a year.  It was interesting that very few people showed up consistently to the group and even fewer people admitted to engaging in the daily prescribed meditation practice.  Upon further inquiry I discovered some people didn't really know why they were meditating....  Is meditation just a fad?
People are like electricity and tend to take the path of least resistance.  Why sit in meditation if there is no perceived value?  Why engage if there is no benefit?   Why "waste" time when there is so much to "do"?  Why not?
Many of the benefits of meditation may not appear tangible at first which is why meditation is considered a practice.  Like any goal or objective the benefits of meditation get better the more you practice.

It's safe to forgive and set healthy boundaries. I used to engage in not so nice relationships way to long! I now honor myself in peace with love.#forgivenmoveon

 One the greatest tools in manifestation is forgiveness.  Forgiveness and gratitude for the lesson provided can clear the way for prosperity and abundance.  The key is recognizing the lesson.  If not acknowledged it is destined to be repeated.  Meditation provides a vehicle for awareness of the lessons.  Have you ever had to repeat a class in school that was required.  Perhaps the second time around you paid more attention to the instructor.  Life is no different...its just a much bigger classroom and a lot more or less dogma.  #innerchildsplay

It is not possible to awaken in anothers bed

In order to awaken it is necessary to rest in the awareness  of your own bed.  The bed being a metaphor of the mind. Often times it is possible to sleep walk through this maze of infinite possibilities we call life, missing the purpose of this wonderful experience.  The opportunity to be free lives within each of us, patiently waiting to be expressed outwardly.  It can be found in silent moments of serenity.  Meditation is the time one takes to consciously connect with creator.  This where the true nature of our being exists.  The core essence of who and why we are here.  Often times folks seek prosperity in the external material form and while outer stuff can bring some happiness true joy comes from within.  I used to think happiness meant another pair of shoes. So I shopped.  I had accumulated so many shoes I could not see the bottom of my closet.  A devastating earthquake hit Haiti.  As I watched the victims on television without shelter and subject to the harsh weather elements with no food, clean water or shoes my heart opened.  The TV camera captured the image of an innocent little girl and I experienced a space of emptiness and awareness that was different. She had no shoes nor shelter yet she had this look of hope and serenity in her eyes. I realized with one pair of healthy feet I had a somewhat spoiled outlook of life. Shopping was a temporary fix to a  inner longing for peace and self love. What is mine to do?  I connected with my heart and cleaned the closets of my home and more importantly my mind.  Peace can be found in the stillness of a single moment.  Peace grows from within and is cultivated in meditation.  Within each of us the true essence of an awakening begins. Life's purpose is individual and intimate. Each moment is an opportunity to grow and learn.  The classroom is vastly abundant and prosperity is a good thing.  There is enough for everyone.Be still and know.   For more information click here

Stepping out of the insanity!

Einstein once said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.  Recently I've been feeling INSANE!!!
