Meditation:Relaxing the Creative Mind

When I woke up this morning, I wanted to go back to bed. I haven't felt this way in 3 days. For the past three days I slept like a baby and only for a few hours at a time. Why did I sleep like a baby? Meditation. Getting my head right. I have been searching for more fulfilling ways to meditate to start my days, weeks, months, year off on the right foot. Meditation is great for clearing the mind and letting your spirit speak to you.

It is said that some of the greatest people: Inventors, intellectuals, creative people, spiritual leaders; meditate. Anybody can do it and it can be done almost anywhere. To meditate, to most, means to be quiet, still, to pray, to ask, talk to God, yoga, quiet music listening. There's so many ways to meditate, and neither is wrong or right. It's whatever you FEEL.

Now, can mediation really get you on track with your life? I tend to meditate while laying down, being quiet with my eyes closed. I think about the situation or the day and say and/or visualize my intended action and outcome. This helps me to attract anything that flows down the path I need to take get through my day or situation.

While I have been using that method, I also look to other ways that people actually teach. I actually felt like I was eight years old again, learning how to pray in Sunday school or at home. "You put your hands together, close your eyes and ask God what you want and say thank you for all the blessings he's given to you." And, actually, as a child, my aunt gave me fun visualization tapes to listen to at night so I can sleep well. Here I am going back to my roots!
