Benefits of Meditation Sydney

Meditation room detail

I  first met Rosa and her mother Gina in a cafe I usually frequent on a Saturday afternoon. When I let them know of my meditation groups, they joined within a week.

The first week was great. Rosa started to calm down slowly and felt relaxed and relieved by the end of the meditation. Through the week, on and off, she was still suffering from anxiety attacks leading into her disorder. Her case was unusual, as this type of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder she suffered from, was repeating the same action say fifteen or twenty times, but her mind did not register that she had already performed the action previously. Every week after that I was watching Rosa getting clearer and stronger. She started to cry through one of her early sessions and when I placed my hand on her back, behind her heart, she said she felt this amazingly strong unconditional love unlike anything she had every experienced pouring through.

As each week passed, she found the anxiety attacks that lead to the obsessive compulsive disorder condition lessened and when she smiled, her eyes really started to light up as she became happier and much more confident within herself. It was great watching her coming to meditation regularly as I could see she had to make a determined effort to be there to overcome her depression and disorder. Through the conversations, I soon realised that it was an effort for Rosa to get out of bed even at 12 midday. The condition really has debilitated her life as she was only in her early thirties.

After the fifth session, she was excited to share with me that she was finding the strength to overcome the disorder. When it crept up in her, in the form of her heart racing, she used her willpower to calm herself down and it worked! Not only that, but when she felt pains in her body, she placed her hands over that part and visualised the healing energy and the pains disappeared. By around this time, she managed to control the OCD attacks.

She truly found her strength to overcome her condition. Even the psychologist was keen to increase her drug intake and she refused. It was great to see her find her strength to overpower such a terrible condition. She started to join us after the meditation session for dinner and found that she was truely enjoying herself in the company of others. Her mother started to cry from the joy, as she was so happy to see the change in her daughter. Apparently, even something as simple as joining a group for dinner was something she could not do before.

It brings me such joy to see someone like Rosa to find her inner strength and power. As she acquired this condition at around the age of twelve, it will most likely take her a year of coming to meditation once a week, every week before she is truely strong enough to maintain this state of wellbeing she has finally found. Rosa is a truely remarkable young lady, with much to offer the world, once she heals herself of this condition. Well done Rosa!

Once I complete some of my audios of the live meditation sessions, I will have them for sale on this blog soon. Will keep everyone posted.

JOY (December 2008) Joy starting coming to meditation early December. It was her first time to experience our sessions. I’d say also one of the first meditations she experienced. During the session she did not feel much nor see anything during the journey. After the session I said good bye and looked forward to seeing her next week. She gave me that look of ‘Yeah right’. The following Tuesday, to my surprise, she did return. She told me that the days following meditation, she found she could not think of anything negative and slept really well. No bad thoughts. Which is great, considering she is working in an open plan floor, of a government department where political heirachies are rampant.

In the second session, she could see and experience almost the entire journey and felt that the energy went deeper into her. She started to feel better and happier the following week, nothing at work seemed to bother her and continued to remain very positive. She is back at university now. In her last session (all up she came to five) I really could see the lights starting to shine in her eyes again. She was very close to connecting to her soul. Her aura is much brighter and she was oozing self confidence. Well done Joy! What a great turnaround from the person I met five weeks ago. A person confused, down and disillusioned.

Why meditation?

healing hands, channeling

Over the last two years I have been guiding my own meditation groups, as I was strangely enough pushed into it by a friend. I thought it was only going to be temporary, but when I saw the shifts in the energy within the students and the positive difference afterwards, well….I decided to keep it up. I’m guiding groups twice a week for now, as I run a small advertising, web design company during the working days. So, I guess you could call me a single white western female taking weekly notes on the benefits of meditation.

Where ever we are in the world, we will find a genuine teacher, or teachers, who can guide us along the inner path, to kick-start the process of meditation and deepen it. It is said that when the student is ready the teacher appears, a meeting characterised by a sense of recognition, or destiny. Ultimately, the real teacher is the inner guide, the wisdom that lies at the heart of each of us. The outer teacher points the way to the inner and introduces us. I will aim to capture the spirit of meditation and hopefully inform and inspire all who seek to understand more about it, through the real life accounts that I observe every week in my groups.

My meditation website is http://www.creative-grafika.com/meditation. By the way, please drop me an email. Would love to hear your comments. Either on the blog or email me at info@creative-grafika.com. Hear from you soon :0) Now, for the individual accounts.

Individual Accounts on the Benefits of Meditation

FLYN (FEBRUARY 2009) She came in for the first time last Tuesday the 3rd. She realised she had to invest time in herself, as she was apparently quite in late last year due to accumulated stress. Her energy felt chaotic, a little nervous and happy she came to the group. After I finished going through the chakras and giving everyone high positive energy, and it was her turn to share…she shared with awe. For the first time in a very long time she felt calm and peace within herself. She was about to cry and was so happy to have found that state of being again. It was great to see her smile and seeing her aura brighter and clearer. Will be good to hear of her experiences next week.

Flyn returned (10-2) and shared more good news. She found she slept well that night and felt she had extra energy for the next three days. By profession she is in the field of counseling and education. What she really noticed is that she stood her ground, voiced herself and guided others in an empowering way. They took her advice and found everything she suggested worked! I’d say Flyn’s aligned her chakras successfully and definitely cleared the throat chakra. In the third session, more has shifted. The healing is working on a deeper level now. I felt her heart was healing as much pain energy was being released in her third session of meditation.

Great news. She emailed me to let me know that she has slept well, she has had not strong pains occurring in her body, her thinking is clearer and work is not much effort. She wrote “I am starting to feel physically and mentally stronger and more focused. Thanks for all your help again.”

BEL (November 2008) When Bel started meditation, she looked really pale, lifeless and her lips were almost blue. Not sure what she has been through? She looked wiped out, from whatever experience she had. She was quiet in her nature and continued coming to our classes.

Within 4-5 regular classes each week, she changed for the better. The colour came back in her face, her eyes lit up and her lips were rosy red. Others could see the difference also and were amazed. The sun looked like it was shining from her face and eyes. I did not realise how beautiful she was before. She had connected with her soul power. By December, I found out she met a guy who was cooking for her almost every night. So pleased to hear she met someone nice and in a relationship I believe. She is still joining classes fortnightly these days and appears to be full of life everytime I see her. She has asked her friend to join her and that’s another great experience that I will share with you soon :0)

More experiences will be added soon.
