"We are not just our physical selves.
We are multi-dimensional beings, composed of an Inner Spirit, a mental body, an
emotional body, a vital body, and a physical body."
Jim Molloy
What is meditation?
There are many types of meditation. The one
definition that fits almost all types is..."Consciously directing your
attention to alter your state of consciousness."
There's no limit to the things you can
direct your attention toward... symbols, sounds, colors, breath, uplifting
thoughts, spiritual realms, etc. Meditation is simply about attention... where
you direct it, and how it alters your consciousness.
What is the purpose of meditation?
Traditionally meditation was (and still is) used
for spiritual growth...i.e. becoming more conscious; unfolding our inner Light,
Love, & Wisdom; becoming more aware of the guiding Presence in our lives;
accelerating our journey home to our True Self... our Spirit.
More recently, meditation has become a valuable
tool for finding a peaceful oasis of relaxation and stress relief in a
demanding, fast-paced world.
