Meditation: The Art Of Seeking The Silence
Within every obstacle there is an equivalent or greater
benefit.~Napoleon Hill
How would it feel if you rose to each obstacle with calm
determination...completely free of anxiety and
depression...ready to face each challenge with a smile?
How would it feel to look in the mirror and see yourself as
unstoppable, invincible, and even a force of nature?
This can be much more than an exercise in imagination. You can
experience this level of personal power and the profound sense
of accomplishment that comes with it--and you can accomplish it
through meditation.
When you meditate you slow down all your autonomic responses.
You cut the fight or flight switch. You watch your anxiety, and
remain detached. You watch your depression, and remain apart.
The one with the life issue, the one with the sorrow, is not the
one who watches the play of emotions.
In meditation, a watcher personality emerges, a consciousness
that transcends the world, a vast spaciousness, a void that is
paradoxically full.
If your agitation is strong, you may have to sit for a while,
then, slowly and inevitably, you're forced to lose your grip on
panic.
When this happens, when you're no longer living the problem,
something shifts inside you and you find yourself still enough
to see your own greatness.
In this vast stillness of your own beingness, you can plant the
seed of your new desire, and replace the sorrowful event with
its exact opposite.
Every tragedy in our life is an invitation to expand beyond the
limitations that it sets upon us, and what you find is that you
are indeed unstoppable, invincible, and even a force of nature.
