.Can meditation and positive affirmations, really make a difference?
Meditation was one of those areas where people would either think “what does it really do and what does it mean?”
We, as psychics, speak to a lot of people daily over the phones and on 1:1 readings. Many are in a place which are making them feel somewhat confused and non focused in life.
For example, when a relationship isn’t going to plan, or you don’t hear from that one person you love, your head clearly feels all over the place. It needs time out to clear itself again. You can’t always do this on our own. You can find it hard to just switch off and relax and off you go! This can take time and practice to make changes to your thought patterns.
Meditation- what’s it all about?
I have never been able myself to understand what meditation can really do. How it works on the mind or how it makes you focus differently. But after trying it myself for many months at a time, I noticed my thoughts were different. I felt less scattered and emotional.
Now it doesn’t always feel this way for many people. Some people just “don’t get” meditation. Trust me, it took me ages to understand it, or get how to do it properly, without feeling distracted all the time.
Two of the most important things you can achieve are being focused and more centered.. This applies particularly when you are going through a difficult emotional time. This applies whether that is with relationships, people, work etc. Sometimes you just can’t get your head away from that situation. You feel completely blocked and non focused, it takes up all of your thought patterns.
Focus on Focus!
Positive affirmations and meditation combined, some say, allows you focus more on what you should be focusing on without the emotion attached. So for example, you are trying to study, but at the same time you are noticing that you can’t focus. Purely because your mind is on your ex partner. You want to know when they are going to come back and contact you. If your mind is emotionally blocked, everything else around you also gets blocked. This may include work you will not get done, or work you do less properly.You are not in the moment, so to speak.
Training your mind to focus back on the moment and letting go of the emotion is where mindfulness, meditation and positive affirmations will calm you. This is in a way where your focus will be on other more practical matters, without feeling low. I can’t say once you let go, that your ex will come back to you! But once you focus purely on other things which are good for you and make you feel positive, you will see changes. Your energy may shift as well, so you may find it easier to move forward. So that when that person contacts you, you do not feel as tied down to what is going on happen or indeed, what the outcome is going to be.
10 Minutes a day, when it suits you
Just try it, see how you get on, try doing it for around 10 minutes just in the mornings only.
Mornings are usually the best time. You are normally thinking more about how to cope with the day without worrying about that one person or situation. Once you get into the flow, you may notice how it becomes a daily part of your routine. If you stick with it, mornings are no longer a chore for you or feels heavy. You may start to go about your day more positive with a more focused mindset.
If you find evenings are best because you having to rush off to work, then try evenings for 10 minutes instead. This is always good before you head off to sleep.
Pop this in your diary, see what difference you feel with this and what you then feel at the end of the first week, did you notice a difference?
