Meditation Means Turning Within
Meditation: what is it? How do I do it? What effect might meditating have on my life? Where can I learn to meditate?
Meditation is a turning within, where you can have all your own answers. It’s a way of getting to know yourself, focusing on yourself as spirit. In our world as we are growing up, we learn to focus our attention outside ourselves. So, to turn within is a new concept for many people. As you learn to focus within, you tune into your power, your information, your uniqueness.
In CDM’s meditation classes, we teach grounding, centering, running energy, and other techniques on how to create what you want and more. Grounding means creating an energy connection that flows from the area near the base of your spine to the center of the earth. Grounding helps your body feel safe and allows more of your energy as spirit to come into your body.
Grounding is also a way to release unwanted energy, like a cosmic garbage chute. Grounding can assist you to deal with releasing fear. All the techniques taught in class are for use in your everyday life, they become a way of life. Here’s a story of using grounding to make a scary situation safe.
“I went on vacation to Hawaii and went scuba diving for the first time in my life. After a lesson in a pool, our group was ready to go for a dive in the ocean. Underwater was a new world that both fascinated and frightened me. I used my grounding as a way to let go of the fear I was experiencing.
Suddenly there was a lot of turbulence. It was like a strong wind underwater and it pushed my body around. Again, I focused on my grounding. I was no longer afraid. I held onto a rock that was on the ocean floor. I grounded and held onto that rock. As I grounded, my body relaxed and my body, that rock, and my grounding were one, unmovable. I felt so secure. I was so relaxed. It was interesting, I found a calm down there under the water that was unlike anything I had experienced before. All around me was motion, a couple of scared people, and yet, I was calm and peaceful. I know my calm assisted others to relax as well. That experience had a profound effect on me and assisted me in certainty with my grounding.”
