Finding Relief With Meditation
I would like to take you past the limits of your traditional thoughts and experiences. This new way of life starts with two questions that are very easy. The first question is; Do I want this to be true: “Every situation that will befall me is 100% the best possible situation that could occur.” Meditate before deciding this so that you can consider it with a clear mind and answer it truthfully. The second question is the more difficult part, it is to truthfully answer this question: Will I give that an opportunity to be true?
Picture- using meditation- that God has appeared before you this instant and said: “I promise you that everything that you experience from this moment forward will be of the greatest benefit to you and can bring you the utmost good fortune, ” Suppose God proceeded to tell you, “Even though what happens may appear at times unfortunate or even painful, in the end your life can be wonderfully blessed and largely rewarded by whatever may happen to you. Stop and meditate. How would you feel about that wonderful news? Happy? Perhaps you may even be overcome with happiness.
Would it not be the greatest news that you could ever hear? Wouldn’t you heave a deep sigh of relief and feel as if a great burden had been lifted from your mind? Would you not then respond to the next thing that comes up-even if it was painful or took something from you or appeared wrong or even unlucky- look at it as though it was going to be a blessing in disguise for you, the best possible thing that could have occurred? If you have not enthusiastically answered yes, set free your mind, meditate on it. Perhaps you have mistaken what I have explained to you.
I am not talking to you about the phrase we hear so often, “try to make the best of things,” which basically means” The situation or occurrence really is wrong and terribly unlucky, but do whatever you can possibly think of or meditate to salvage some good out of it.” Nor do I mean that within even the worst event possible, there can be found a little bit of good. I am not talking in terms of such limited ideas. I am thinking in unrestricted terms, where every event that befalls you is absolutely the best event that could occur-that there is no other event imaginable that could reward you to any greater degree.
So, again, as you meditate contemplate wouldn’t that be the best bit of news you could hear? If you are open to giving this new concept a chance and actually believe that everything that happens to you will happen for a reason. When contemplating about anything, to get a great deal of relief just clear your mind and meditate about the good things that are to come to you in the future. Meditation can be much better than medication and you might just be real surprised how much better you can begin feeling after practicing it for awhile.
