Quiet Reflection: A B12 Shot for the Spirit?
Modern alternative medicine and holistic healers believe in the power of the energy that flows through our bodies; this energy radiates from our minds as well. It is believed to be the chief form of transportation for our body’s nervous system to carry out communication. Breathing techniques, music, aromas, and candle therapy are all ways we utilize the opportunities to reflect on our day, allow our mind to rest, and replenish itself for further use. The great benefit of meditation, however, is the mind’s ability to transform itself into a vehicle for higher awareness.
Meditation is a way for us to become aware of the fact that there is more to our being than just our physical activity. We have so much more potential locked away in our minds, resources that we never tap into until we have the chance to quiet the mind, quiet our surroundings and open the door to the possibilities we don’t examine on a day-to-day basis.
Real Benefactor
Our spirit is the real benefactor in these moments of quiet reflection and meditation. Every day, time after time, our spirit would soar if given the opportunity. But quite often, the opportunity is stolen thanks to the ever-pressing issues of job responsibilities, children, and household responsibilities. Our spirit is generally all used up by the end of the day.
In our meditative state, thoughts that never have the opportunity to be heard during the bustle of the day are afforded the opportunity to come forward and be heard. Every step that we take is a step in some direction for our life. The opportunity to set our own destiny, and develop our manifestation of what we believe our life should be, is the opportunity meditation provides. Every action we’ve ever taken started as a thought. The thought was then brought into reality by our action on that thought. So are we able to produce new thoughts and new possibilities, in this time of quiet reflection?
It is in these small moments of creativity and higher conscious operation that our mind heals itself from the stresses of everyday activities and maintains a real level of healthy operation. Our spirit has the opportunity to renew. Revive. Like the dying patient that receives the administration of CPR in the final hour, our spirit receives the moments of solitude that allow it to regroup, and regain that wonderful faith in ourselves and mankind. Our mind is like our body, we don’t have to look unhealthy to be unhealthy, and sooner or later, the illnesses show unless we’re given the opportunity for the rebirth of our basic beliefs. This is how we provide the nourishment needed for our spirit to remain healthy.
Some people choose to accommodate this through community worship, and some people through moments of quiet solitude in nature. Still, others choose renewal through silent meditation and prayer. No matter our choice of activity the important accomplishment lies in the renewal of our spirituality and our belief in mankind.
