These are two things I Iearnt today whilst in my meditation class. Om Love is a word which we used whilst visualising good things. Apparently all our bad emotions are vibrating at a level below 200 (worry,stress,despair,desire etc) and we need to try and aim to go above 200 (on a scale which goes all the way up to 1000. 500 is love by the way so this is also a great place to reach and be! Being in love and thankful for life each day can help you achieve this) Apologies if this is not making sense but stay with me.
I had a great time today and I would recommend meditation to everyone! Our lives are so busy and full of stress, worry, panic, anxiety etc (living below 200) and it's so important to realign and centre yourself from time to time so your body,mind and spirit are in tune. I'm not just saying this from my current viewpoint but because slowing down once every day will really benefit your health in the long term.
I know a lot of you are stress heads ;) I can name 3 people I have spoken to this week already who have told me they are stressed so please promise me you'll give meditation a go. You can try something on you tube or try the app I recommended called calm.com- Here you can set a guided meditation for as long as you like 5,10,15 or even 30 minutes. If you can why not try a class?
I also learnt about positive affirmations today. It's good to give yourself an affirmation at least once a day and repeat in times of stress. For me today it is "my body has the ability to heal itself if I allow it" ok the science in some of you may disagree but ever heard the saying "mind over matter" well the mind is a powerful thing and staying positive in any situation is very important. Here's a nice one I want to share with you all because it's so true no matter what you are feeling right now:
Sending you all lovely calm meditation hugs and looking forward to hearing from anyone who takes my advice :)
