Meditation vs Medication
Let me begin by saying that I am not a medical doctor, nor do I intend to ever give you medical advice. I am simply offering a different perspective; hopefully, this will be of assistance to you.
My father was a medical professional, and he was a great man. Growing up, we were given medication when we were not feeling well, and had our vaccines faithfully. My aversion to cow milk turned into a full blown allergy by the time I was 10. And so the story goes for another 10 years, when I moved out to California, at the age of 21. There, I connected with an acupuncturist, and stopped taking all prescription medication, because it was not needed. Over the years, I have practiced homeopathy, acupuncture, herbalism, chiropractic, and many other alternative care options. When I discovered meditation, I was 40 years old; thus began a new chapter in my book of health. I learned how to heal myself energetically, and then I learned how to prevent illness by moving the energy out of my space before it became illness or disease. I stopped seeing my wonderful acupuncturist and have taught these tools to my sons, and clients, throughout the years. We have all enjoyed excellent health and increased happiness, using these tools.
You may be skeptical, and I understand that; please allow me to elaborate. We are living in a very special time on the planet, if you haven’t spent time with Dolores Cannon, find her and watch her stuff, read her books, she is so on target with all this. A huge shift in consciousness is occurring, and if you don’t know what that means, all you have to do is watch the news to see that the world is in uproar, and chaos. We are living a Revolution, and it is more important that ever to stay as positive and compassionate as you can, to keep the vibration high.
Medication is defined, for my purposes, by anything that alters your brain or body chemistry enough to mask or suppress your body’s early warning system. Plant medicine, such as cannabis or mushrooms, can be very useful but only in certain circumstances, and not if abused for reasons of escapism or bypassing. Alcohol and food are some examples of substances which have been grossly abused to suppress and bypass emotions and energies which may be uncomfortable for us to deal with. It is certainly human nature to gravitate towards things that feel good, and that is also perhaps our greatest challenge in this timeline. The vibration of the planet, The Schumann Resonance, has been hitting record highs, and this means that the lower vibrations, such as shame and fear, are being eradicated from the planet. Maybe your soul contract is up; there is not a way of really knowing that, and we do not know what other people’s soul contracts are, so the only way to live is to be as present as you can. When the difficult feelings or energies come up for you to look at, and you immediately turn away, you are missing the lesson; thus, it will repeatedly knock on your door until you open up and let it in. That’s the only way to release it.
Meditation is defined, again for my purposes, as observing your thoughts. This can happen in many ways, and it is not required that you sit in the lotus position and circle up your fingers. Meditation is a vehicle for you to become an observer of your own life, so that you can find a neutral vantage point from which to release your pictures/energies. From here, you can also start to create consciously, and as you release patterns and other subconscious sabotage, you will find that your life is flowing and easy. When you are pursuing a life of following your passions and being in the flow, everything feels easy and is flowing well. When you hit resistance, this means you are stuck, you have fallen out of the flow. Finding neutrality is key here; for this is the only way you will be able to get back into the flow. It is also important to remember that you will not always be in flow, and this gives you an opportunity to develop patience and be grateful for the flow when you ARE in it.
So the next time you are feeling energetically depleted, and you want to reach for that candy, to numb that pain, stop and get grounded. Go here for my 4 minute grounding meditation, or search for one; there are so many good choices. Food is grounding, so if you have spent your life using it that way, it might take a bit of time to reverse that pattern. Soon, you will be able to trust your intuition to tell you when you are truly hungry, and you will soon find that your food addiction is gone. You can use this technique with any addiction, though some may be harder than others. Make sure you have support from someone who is truly neutral and has worked through their own addictions before they try to help you with yours.
