The News On Food

Healing Meditation – an introduction

Aside from using food, there are also other forms of healing. Meditation is one of them and has been around for approximately 5000 years, from my understanding. Even so, many people view healing meditation as a new age concept; although it is true to say that the popularity of healing meditation did not become more widespread until the 20th century.

There are many types of healing meditation but generally you will find that you either use a focused meditation or one that does not require you to concentrate. Healing meditation works by slowing the inner frequencies of the brain. Some healing meditation techniques work better than others and I recommend you choose a form of healing meditation that works for you.

Healing Meditation – my story may just help you

Dealing with food intolerance symptoms or food problems related to leaky gut syndrome, salicylates and amines, to name a few, required some form of positive action to get myself and my son well. The action I took propelled me on a journey to discover food, its powers and how I could use it to finally cure the food intolerance symptoms we had encountered. Thus, from a ‘body’ perspective, I had achieved what I set out to do; heal the body so that we no longer had to live on a restricted diet.

From a psychological perspective, I personally still needed healing. Meditation came into my life through an advertisement but before I expand on this further, I’ll share a little personal background on why I felt like I needed healing on a psychological level.

Most of us have some personal story to share and I’m no different in that respect. I come from a family where I am one of five children and I had a father who worked very hard to support us which meant not seeing him very much. My mother raised us full time. Their marriage ended when I was around 13 years old and for me, that led to an estranged relationship with one parent and no contact with the other.  I moved out of home from an early age and would board with friend’s parents, working on weekends to get by while I was still in year 12.

Life always felt tough but I refused to let it get to me and so I always had a smile on my face and people always saw me as a happy person. I had a little Austudy to get through my first university Diploma and I worked my holidays to earn my fees to go back to study each year and earn my keep. I then went on to teach primary children for a short time then moved into sales because of the continual ‘fire in the belly’ that I have always had. Ever since I can remember, I have wanted my own business so I never felt completely satisfied in any role I was working in for someone else. We will jump a few chapters of my life from here.

I started my first business with my partner at the time and in that time, completed a graduate diploma of Marketing at Monash in Melbourne, Australia. Working with my partner placed a huge strain on our relationship so leaving to start a family was a welcome change. Through that time, I lost myself , was very unhappy and I was what everyone else wanted me to be. I did not have time to pursue my passions and life was hard. I was running a house, raising 3 children who were 4 years and under while my partner at the time was still focusing on  his business. I was also running my own business part time from home in an attempt to salvage some identity from my own dealings in the business world, prior to having my beautiful children.  I was dealing with food intolerance symptoms and I felt like I was running a treadmill that was just getting faster and faster. Then, after nearly 20 years together, my marriage ended in 2009. I felt like I had failed and failure was not something I was used to in my life because I had always achieved what I set out to do.

One day somewhere in the year 2008, I was on Facebook and I happened to click on an advertisement about healing meditation that offered a free demo CD. I was a bit skeptical but gave it a try. Initially, I didn’t think it had an impact but one day I was sitting working at my computer with a chronic headache so I listened to the audio again. Without realizing, I fell asleep at the computer and when I woke, my headache was gone and I felt peace and clarity. I then went on to explore the program further and cannot tell you the amazing benefits I have received from healing meditation.

Healing meditation – the benefits

I have used healing meditation in nearly all aspects of my life. I have used healing meditation to look at problems, solutions, come up with ideas, change my self-esteem, for motivation, to help me get to sleep, to calm the inner spirit, to calm my mind, to help me think with more clarity, to remove negativity from my life and my thoughts and to help stay in the now -  The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
