Meditate Part of Healthy Life


One  not only live from the body alone, but also from their soul and mind. If you missed out  one of this particularly thing, you migth put your self into trouble.  Maybe you already know how to get our body in balance and healthy  by nourished with all kind good and nutrient foods. But how to put your soul and mind in nourished. Yup, the answer is through meditation.
Meditation is a self-directed practice for relaxing the body and calming the mind. In many traditions, meditation is used to achieve insight and expanded awareness. People can meditate while sitting quietly, chanting or reciting a short phrase, or moving mindfully, as in walking meditation, tai chi, aikido, or yoga.
Scientists and researchers have found in numerous studies that meditating for just 10 to 20 minutes a day can greatly reduce hypertension or high blood pressure, stress levels and much more. So, it is easy to see that meditation is very important to your health, but did you also know it can help you think more clearly, remember things better, and get more accomplished?
Every mind needs a little idle time. We all need time to focus on one task, instead of multi-tasking all day and night. In reality, the mind does not take complete rest during sleep. Our mind moves from dream to dream for about two hours a night and thus remains in an unstable condition for long.

Our mind needs some vacations for relaxation. Have you ever noticed that when you take a vacation, you return with new ideas, new feelings with a better approach, and establish clear priorities? This is a result of getting some time to relax and reflect on your life. The time lets you think clearly, positively and effectively.

Our trouble stems from being so busy that we lose feel within innerself. We fill our time with too many activities to achieve our task. Companies do this with their employees, but we deliberately do it to ourselves. You have the skills to take control of your own life, and the resolution is as simple as daily meditation sessions.

Answers to problems are within us, but many of us do not want to look in depth for fear of what we know ourselves. It 's always easier to blame forces outside of our problems. However, the closure of external distractions and listening to our inner voice is a natural medicine.

Who knows? You can actually find yourself and your identity. This may lead you to make changes and put ideas into practice. All this progress could be made after you make a "meditation" with you. It takes only 20-30 minutes per day for a short meditation session.

There has never been a better time to meditate than right now. People are so "happening" these days, the only time they stop when they are sick. The problem is how people are going to be busy in next 20 years? Now you see why having downtime is so important.

Information on meditation techniques are widely available in books, DVDs and CDs. You do not have to join a monastery, and live by a strict moral code, with a multitude of rules, but you need self-discipline to follow a daily practice.

Curiousity - self-discipline, alone, will keep the masses out of this ancient practice that has survived a battery of tests and modern inspection. It's amazing when you think about the reward of self-control, satisfaction, and care, resulting from the daily practice of meditation.






Book: Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life by Gabriel Cousens, MD

When we eat, can we feed the soul as well as the body? Can a diet have an impact on spirituality? Spiritual Nutrition empowers readers to develop personal diets that are appropriate to their lifestyles and spiritual practices. Drawing on 14 years of clinical experience and research, Dr. Gabriel Cousens discusses nutritional issues that can help answer these questions, including raw vs. cooked food; high vs. low protein; the concepts of assimilation and fasting; alkaline--acid balance; attitudes about food; nutrients, energy, and structure building.

In addition, Cousens shares his new dietary system of "spiritual nutrition" that is based on the relationship that the color of the food has to corresponding colors of the human chakra system, hence, the "rainbow diet." For true nourishment, he strongly promotes the connection of diet to meditation, fellowship, wisdom, and love.
Everybody needs a copy of this in their library! Some things in life never dates - this book is one of those timeless classics! If you want to live a long happy healthy life - this is the book for you!
