Meditation: Your Limited Self Merging
with your Expanded Self
by Jeannine Daigle

The subject of meditation has been discussed extensively in books, articles, magazines, etc. The various methods of meditation, again, are of a wide range. But what really is the true essence of meditation? What is it that we are looking for in meditation? How is it different from praying? These questions and more I will attempt to answer in this article.

In these expansive energetic times, which means our bodies are opening naturally to receive more input from the universal energy, it becomes important to educate oneself into the dynamics of energy and the various reactions in the physical body. How many of you have recently noticed strange symptoms or sensations in your body that are new to you? Did you feel unexplained dizziness, heart palpitations, nausea and the list goes on? This subject is widely discussed if you access different reliable sources like: www.crimsoncircle.com and/or www.whatsuponplanetearth.com

For myself, I have been through a lot of these symptoms and still do at times, and I am thankful that the right tools came to me for support.

Going back to the topic of meditation, how are these aspects related? In the state of meditation, which can be accessed from complete stillness, from receiving a Reiki treatment or by simply going for a walk in nature, the self as you know it in your everyday life has access to a much wider range of energy by making oneself open to receive. Meditation is the act of "receiving", while praying is the act of asking. When one understands on a deep level that the answers are all within, it becomes a very empowering experience. When one realizes that it has everything within to "heal" the self, one can adopt a different view on health by taking its power back.

Accessing information and energy through meditation can become a challenge if the right tools are not provided. Today, there are many techniques offered that can help. In the past, I personally found it difficult to sit still and meditate until Reiki found me and with it, a way to slow myself down enough to be able to receive. I also have found that guided visualization meditation has helped many people enter a state of deep relaxation and experience a knowingness of something bigger than their limited self. The key is to make that connection with the higher aspect of who You really Are in your expanded Self. That is where the answers reside.

As mentioned earlier, we are now in expansive energetic times, which means that the time is right and everything is in place for people to awaken and reconnect with who they are in their expanded Self. We can now access the answer to the question: Who am I? Why am I here? How can I heal myself from my physical limitations?

The choice is yours. Are you ready?
