The Healing Power of Meditation

Healing is a multi-faceted process.  Meditation has proven to help with healing, to alleviate stress and to bring clarity.  One can discover their life purpose and their true self through meditation.   Meditation has been validated by scientific studies, and astonishing experiments with DNA proves that DNA can heal itself according to the “feelings” of the individual as reported recently by Gregg Braden, author of Spontaneous Healing of Belief.

In the book, The Biology of Belief, by Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., Bruce discusses Epigenetics, which literally means, “control above the genes”.  Dr. Bruce Lipton is a former medical school professor and research scientist  who has discovered through his experiments that DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts.  Our perceptions of life shape our biology.

Meditating, or focusing on and imagining that you are actually healing right now is a major key to your healing, and will prompt your DNA to change itself to be in a healthy and whole state.  It will allow you to take control of your thoughts, emotions, illness or disease.   Whether you have cancer or any physical illness or disease, or if you had severe childhood traumas that are affecting your life now – meditation can be an aid and help you to heal.

Your techniques for meditation should be as effortless as possible.  Meditating is not difficult, and there are different forms of meditation.  For some people, the easiest way to meditate is using visualization, or sounds (such as “Om” or music/drumming) in order to stay focused.  If you can use your imagination, then you can create imagery to help you to heal.  Imagine the part of you that needs healing, and focus your intent on healing that area.  Imagine that your cancer or disease is leaving your body – shriveling and drying up until it’s so tiny that it disappears – both physically and energetically.   Imagine that your vein, or organ, etc, is filled with healing light and changing to its natural perfection.  This works!

Imagine that you can go back in time and change the physical or emotional abuse that you endured as a child.  Imagine a hero or a giant animal – like a dinosaur (be creative here) jumping in and rescuing you.  Perhaps you can imagine that you had the most loving and nurturing parents on the planet.  However you need to do it, change in your mind the outcome of your childhood trauma or situation, and release it. You will feel the difference in your body. You don’t have to be the “victim” anymore – you’re taking charge, and taking responsibility for your own life in a new way. Your subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between what is imagined and what’s real, and by going back and mentally changing the incident(s), you are changing the reaction that your body had to the incident(s) in the past.  You are changing the cell memory.

You don’t need to hang on to the trauma that it caused you physically, mentally and emotionally anymore.  Forgive whoever was involved, and move on.  Remember, you don’t have to forgive the act – just the person for being human and having human frailties.  Most people have some sort of dysfunctional way of handling situations – either because they let their own negative emotions get in the way, or because they were brought up by dysfunctional parents and they don’t know any better.  Every situation is an opportunity for learning – learn from it and move on with your life in a whole and healthy way.  You are worthy of goodness.  Feel your self-worth… allow it to come forth.  Say to yourself, “I am a worthy person, and I deserve to be healthy,  healed and whole”.
