Abstract
What is meditation? A tool that empowers you to create your life through working it from inside out, beginning with a thought. There is a story. A father had two sons: one felt a victim of life. He viewed his life through the prism of “My childhood was difficult. My father was an alcoholic. The reason my life is failing is because of that. I was not loved enough.” This is his inner mantra – a cycle of a repetitive thought patterns that he continuously told himself. His life followed that very mantra. He didn’t try and expected to fail, he didn’t have his eyes open to see opportunities. His brother, to everyone’s surprise, was complete the opposite. He traveled the world, learned new languages, met inspiring people, and pursued his dreams. “How did you turn out like that?” – friends asked him. “Because of my father,” – was the answer. The moral of the story is that what you believe in creates the reality you experience. It also influences your choices and actions. That is an apparent way of explaining how beliefs create reality. Meditation helps to develop a subtle level of awareness connected to energy. A thought is an energy wave. Each is associated with different frequency ranging from low to high, like notes in a musical instrument. Joy, benevolence, compassion, love have the highest frequencies. Masaru Emoto [2], a Japanese scientist, carried out a series of experiments to examine the molecular structure of water. In his research, polluted water could be purified after a prolonged exposure to loving thoughts, a prayer, and positive intentions. Thoughts of the lowest frequencies, in contrast, have the opposite effect. Examples of such thoughts include judgment, fear, shame, and guilt [3, 4]. Whether thoughts are self- or other- directed, you can imagine the consequences – depression, anxiety, worry, and stress.
