You can discover amazing healing powers you have within yourself through regular practice of Meditation and mental imagery.

We all have the ability to banish a dreaded headache, or even a recurring illness, addiction or disease.

Sick of Being Sick?
Are you sick of being sick and tired? Are you sick of your daily routine? Is it a grind? Do you feel stuck in your relationship or your job? Do you have little time for yourself? Do you feel there are some areas of your life that are so very hard? Once, my answers were 'yep' to all of those questions. And I believed I just had to deal with it. Yep, just had to deal with it! And for the pain and un-wellness this was causing, I medicated and pretended all was well. Underneath it all I really felt as if I was furiously digging myself deeper and deeper into a hole going nowhere. Slipping deeper into exhaustion and un-wellness. I didn't know how to stop digging. I didn't know I could stop digging; I didn't know I could turn around and climb out of the hole, until I began Meditating.

Replace Medications with Meditations
Over a period of time my meditations replaced my medications. Through mental imagery and meditation I learnt to travel into my body and release my own tension, pain, addictions and illnesses. 

My first experience of this happened quite naturally one morning as I was meditating, watching my breath and relaxing my body. Sometimes the more I relaxed my body the more intense any pain or tension I was carrying became; this day the pain was in my neck. 

So I imagined myself as a little person inside my body, inside my neck amongst the nagging, aching pain. I felt intensely angry towards it as I realised this pain was also zapping my energy making me feel tired before my day had even started. It looked like hardened wallpaper stuck to my muscles and I wanted to peel it off, get rid of it, so I did. Whilst I was peeling it away I asked myself why is this here? The more I peeled away the less pain and anger I felt. 

My muscles relaxed and softened. Then came a strong sense, a knowing as to what I was doing in my daily life to create this pain, this tension. This came as a relief as my pain and tension completely subsided making it easier to continue with my meditation, relaxing more deeply into my peaceful paradise and stillness.

Keep Practicing for Great Results
Not every time did this work but often enough to know I had the skill to achieve it, therefore often enough for me to keep practicing until it became quick and easy to release pain and tension. 

It was during this imagery meditation I experienced real confirmation I was truly creating my own physical un-wellness and I knew with positive action I could achieve positive results.

I learnt that to stop the pain and tension recurring in my body I had to act constructively on the area of my life that it was associated with. I was learning so much more about myself. 

I could see I had been increasing my stress and tension by pushing myself to limits that weren't really my limits at all. I was so used to saying yes when I really meant no, and responding to "How are you?" with "I'm great thanks" when I really felt lousy. I began to see these were well-practiced responses with no truths to them and I knew I was the only one who could change that.

Understanding and Acceptance
I was also learning that often in my mind I would think I was worrying about a certain situation, but when I went into it in a meditative state I would see the churning inside my body or in my mind was being caused by a totally different situation. By understanding and accepting this, my courage and conviction strengthened allowing me to make small positive changes, over time leading to greater positive changes. 

Meditation can take you to the core of your real self; allowing you to observe, feel and weed out old beliefs and habits replacing them with a healthier, happier and positive belief system. Regular Meditation nurtures and nourishes your belief system giving you the clarity and confirmation required in making positive and productive choices for your life style and well-being. 

There are many great books on the subject of meditation and there are many wonderfully guided meditation CDs. To be guided into meditation by a gentle voice sometimes makes the experience much easier. It can take the worry of 'am I doing it right?' "Am I where I should be? Once you have the 'know how' it is much easier to do it on your own.
