Meditation, the best medicine.

[Loki]

Let me start this back when I first started meditation.

10 years ago I was pretty involved in a martial arts family. The most important lesson I learned at the dojo was not a fancy punch, or flying flip kick, rather the power of one's mind. Ever wonder why we only "use" 10% of our brain? It's because we don't pay attention to everything that can be possible. I believe Meditation to be one of, if not the most, powerful tool I have ever learned to use.

Apart from exploring the complexities of space, I believe meditating a great tool to observe myself with. Allow to explain with example.

About 4 years ago I was hit (not run over) by a truck on a public street. My knee cracked and there's a bone chip floating around inside somewhere, and I had had extreme lower back pains in the years to come. Up until recently (few months or so) I had given up my meditations because I was swept aside by all crap that comes with being a stupid teenage boy. I actually have to hand it to AZskywatchermike for getting me back into it all, or else I may still be lost. Since we've been exploring new areas of live, consciousness, oneness, I have gotten really back in tune with my old self. Anyways, I had finally gotten sick of aching and hurting in the mornings, or at work, or even relaxing sometimes, I could feel the pain in my knees.

I took it upon myself to be my own doctor, so to speak. During my regular meditations, I would observe myself and my negative energies. I saw the tie between my pain and my brain. I saw that subconsciously I felt fragile, and worn. Knowing that i should not feel so negatively about myself, I started to work. I cannot explain easily how, but I controlled my energies, purging the negative and realigning positive. I came at ease with myself, you could almost say i convinced my body that i was not in pain. The mental work i had done in and out of meditation had and still does alleviate my body of those common pains i used to feel. I have also come to learn that this process is very helpful when faced with emotional situations and conflicts.

Now i know I'm not the best with words, so please, I openly accept criticism/questions.

But i will say, its not just the meditation that helped me, it's a sincere state of mind, a true openness to the world outside of our human world.

Your Damn Right man. Sincerity...That is the underlined meaning...
If you are sincere in everything you do...
And you understand the "non human" aspects of our world...

HOW can you go wrong...

Meditation is more than just the best medicine
it is the secret of the universe...
a gateway to deeper or non local self...
selflessness

Non human isnt the best term though...it implies that it isn't natural to us...
when in actuality it is our ultimate destination...
to be still and at peace...and SELFLESS...

Im glad it was me who spurred you back into the deeper aspects of self man...
The cosmos plays out in strange ways...

Who would have thaught a Colored light on the horizon would turn into.
A much broader understanding, and a metamorphasis of my life...
and the lives of people who come to know me....

What a beautiful and mysterious world we live in, Eh?

Gotta love it
And as i get deeper into it, the more gratitude i bestow for all the people that have helped me in my life.
It's these people that have led me to help others, open my mind and my mouth, to where i would normally just avoid the confrontation. The world is a very strange and mysterious place indeed, and we traverse the unknown to share what we know, and shed love & light to everyone who is willing to accept it (and also to some who don't accept it, i think they need it the most)

I'll be there for you guys even though you won't know it.
