To attain a perfect state of health, one has to be mentally calm, steady and emotionally stable. Health is not just confined to the body and the mind but is also connected with consciousness. The clearer one’s consciousness, the more one’s sense of well-being increases.

Listed below are 6 ways how meditation has the power to heal:

1. Meditation increases life energy

Life energy is the basis of health and well-being for both, the body and mind. You can gain prana through meditation. When your body is alive with more prana, you feel alert, energetic, and full of life. Lack of prana results in lethargy, dullness, and low enthusiasm levels.

2. Meditation heals illness

It is said the root of an illness is in the mind/consciousness. So, by attending to the mind, clearing it of any disturbances, the recovery speeds up. Illnesses can develop from:

violation of natural law: for example, overeating
imposed by nature: for example, common cold, or an epidemic
release of past impressions or karma.
Nature itself provides a cure for these illnesses. Health and illness are part of physical nature. The practice of meditation helps to let go of stress, worries, and anxieties. This results in a positive state of mind, which in turn has a positive impact on the physical body, brain, and nervous system. Consequently, illness decreases.

One of the secret understanding of illness is that when you worry about illness, you give more power to it. When you know this and have a positive state of mind, then illnesses gradually disappear.

3. Clears emotional problems

The words that you hear from people around you affect your state of mind. They either give you peace and joy or create negative emotions, such as jealousy, anger, frustration or sadness. You are affected because the mind is not centered. Meditation is key to clear away emotional issues. Experience a state of deep rest and clarity of mind with ‘Transforming Emotions’.

4. Blossom from within

Meditation can bring about a spiritual transformation. As you learn more about life, the mystery of the whole creation unfolds. Then the questions that arise in the mind are – what is the meaning of life, what is its purpose, what is this world, what is love, what is knowledge?

Once these questions arise in you, know that you are fortunate. These questions need to be understood, you cannot find the answers in books. You have to live through them and witness the transformation. When you are transformed from within is the sign of perfect health.

5. Heal the world

Meditation purifies the environment. Meditation has transformed the aggression and violence to compassion, love, and care in a cross-section of people. When you enter a place where someone is angry, the energy of that place is not pleasing. Similarly, when there is a harmonious or a happy activity, then that place has a different vibe. This happens because feelings are not isolated in one’s body they are all around. It is in the whole environment because the mind is subtler than the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, ether). If there is a fire somewhere, the heat is not just in the fire, it is also radiating throughout the place. Similarly, if you are unhappy or depressed, you are not the only one who is feeling it, you are also spreading it to your surroundings.

In the current global situation of conflicts and disease, it’s important to meditate for a short while every day. Through meditation, you can nullify the negative vibrations in the environment, thereby creating a more harmonious environment.

6. Heals chakras

Chakras are energy points in our subtle body, which are located in the physical counterparts of the body, such as veins, nerves, and arteries. There are seven chakras and each has its own vitality and effect on different aspects of emotional well-being. The Art of Living’s guided meditation for Chakra Healing helps activate and optimize the functioning of these chakras.

A smile on another face

How do you feel when you help someone? Happy, satisfied? Do you feel the explosion of positive energy, as if there is some spread (expanded) within you? Do you know why this is happening? This happens because when you serve and smile on someone’s face, then you also have good tears and blessings.

Feel the Sound of Silence

Imagine that you are standing on the terrace in the morning, and looking at the beauty of the rising sun, the enchanted, looking towards the vast sky full of redness. Are you experiencing a sense of deep peace and unity with this beauty? Beauty which takes you beyond words? Your mind becomes so calm and stable. Have you ever wondered why? This is silence in which fewer thoughts come and your mind becomes stable.

Most of the time when we keep talking in vain. Then our mind also keeps on talking. Our senses are busy collecting information and showering thoughts and emotions over us.

Silence moves along with meditation. When you are in silence, the speed of your mind decreases and you easily go into meditation. 

Satisfy your body with Yoga posture

Have you felt that many days you feel very uneasy at meditation and cannot go deep into it? Working for a long time causes stiffness and pain in the body and you feel restless due to the same closeness. By doing some yoga, this clutter of the body goes away and restlessness disappears. With this, your mind becomes stable and you experience deep meditation.

Keep an eye on your food

Think of those days when you have meditated after eating fried and meat-eating meals and think of those days when you meditate after eating light and nutritious meal. Did you feel any difference between your two thoughts? This is because the direct impact of our food affects our mind.

Humming yourself

Have you noticed how different kinds of music awakens different emotions in our mind? We are made up of 90% or more of the Universal element, so the sound puts a deep impact on us. Emotions are sacred by singing in Satsang and you experience an expansion. Our “small mind” which keeps on talking continuously becomes calm, and when you meditate, you have a deep experience.

Keep your daily meditation time fixed

Having discipline and respecting practice takes deep meditation. Therefore, set the time for your daily meditation and look at the magic, how do you go into the depths of meditation.

“Our body is a priceless gift, so always respect your body.”

Keep your body pure because it is a moving temple. The English word “nerve” (nerve) is derived from the Sanskrit word “male”. In the nerves of man, the Supreme Lord Narayana resides. That is why it is very important that we keep our body holy. By repeatedly repeating the word “OM” the body becomes pure and holy.

When we concentrate our entire existence in the mind, then it gets meditated. Through our breath, we can bring the same effect on the physical level.

The body also has its own language, which is called Body Language in English. From this language, it becomes known that what going within you. If one walks constantly with a bumpy and shouldered shoulder, then his body language shows that there is a lot of ego and arrogance in that person. They move their neck in some special way and are not comfortable with others. Therefore, as hard as you are from within, your body and mind will be as rude as well. To loosen your mind and ego, and to expand yourself, you need to do asana and meditation because you are not the only mind; You are not even the only body. In yoga, the body, breath, and mind are all fully connected.

Pranayama and meditation. This will make your body strong and mind intensified. Then whatever you wish will be done and you pray for it, then your wishes will be fulfilled. In meditation, you will experience that you are not only the body but also more than that.
