Meditation Helps Open Your Intuition
Did you ever have the feeling that someone was about to call just you just before they did?
Or did you or a friend ever see a spirit or have a dream or premonition that came true?
Our Spiritual Senses
Stories like this abound because everyone of us has spiritual senses. Unfortunately most of us have forgotten how to use them. It is no wonder because our education and culture mostly values our intelligence and so this is where we focus our attention.
Intuitive Discoveries
Did you know that many of the great discoveries in history came from intuition? Albert Einstein is a great example, his theory of relativity was inspired by a dream where he was going down a mountainside ever faster and watching the appearance of the stars change as he approached the speed of light. He said:
“What I say is more often felt through intuition than thought through intellect.”
“It is not intellect, but intuition which advances humanity.”
- Albert Einstein
Other examples of discoveries and inventions made in the dream state include the structure of the benzene ring by August Kekule, the sewing machine by Elias Howe, theory of atomic structure by Nils Bohr and the experiment that proved how nerve impulses are transmitted by Nobel Prize winner Otto Loewi. There are many more examples like this including famous novelists, poets and composers whose creative works came to them intuitively.
Accessing Your Intuition
These individuals, needed to be asleep in order to access their intuition because their intellectual mind was more dominant in their awareness when they were awake. Meditation can help you learn to consciously access your intuition. When you meditate, you quiet your busy intellectual mind and tune out all distractions of the external world. Instead you turn within to focus on the world inside yourself and you enter a space where information flows freely and can be simply known instead of having to be figured out.
Meditation Helps You Listen To Your Bodies Messages
When our body, mind and spirit are in balance, we experience good health. However, we sometimes get caught up in a crisis that causes us to focus in one area more than others and we get out of balance.
Emotions are the way our bodies communicate with us. For example if you are getting tired, but you push yourself to keep going, your body may respond by becoming grumpy. Or if your relationship is stressful, your body may feel afraid. Of course it works the other way too and the body will express happiness and joy in cheerful situations.
What Happens If I Don’t Listen To My Body?
If we don’t listen to our bodies emotional signals when they are tired or stressed then a stronger message is required. The issue may then become expressed as illness or disease. Meditation can help us to tune into our bodies messages so that we can respond to them before it develops into a physical ailment.
When we do become ill, meditation allows us to be still and listen to our inner voice about our bodies ailments. At the heart of each illness is a core concept or way of thinking that does not serve you well. Over years of not paying attention, it can become solidified in your body.
Digestive problems can indicate that you are having trouble “digesting” or accepting something. Inflammation in the joints may mean that you are judging yourself and others too harshly. Your back ache may be caused by a sense of having no emotional and financial support, and your sore throat may indicate that you are not speaking up about something of concern and so on.
Illness Is A Signal For Change
Illness is a way our bodies seek to restore change by drawing our attention to a problem, so that we can cleanse built up negative manifestations of energy in our system. You have the power to change anything that you have created by replacing negative patterns with positive and nourishing thoughts and meditation can help you to do this.
