\"peace2\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You cannot be healthy if you are out of balance. The only way to get balanced<\/a> is to address all sides of yourself and your needs \u2013 your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs. Meditation does just that.<\/p>\n

Even if you only give minimum time to the exercise of meditation, you\u2019ll reap the powerful benefits that this inner exercise offers.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ENERGIZE AND RECHARGE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Set aside some time each day that you call your own. Find a quiet spot indoors or out and remove your attention from your anxieties, worries, frustrations and all your cares. Use this time to sit quietly without entertaining thoughts (good or bad). Allow your mind to rest and be at peace. This kind of focus dials down your energy because you are not wasting it on fleeting, unnecessary thoughts. Thoughts will come, but rather than entertain them, simply allow them to flow on through. Focus on your breath, both the in-breath and the out-breath.<\/p>\n

If you find yourself entertaining a thought – if some thought captures your attention and takes you away from \u201cpeace,\u201d then know that it is at the moment of recognition that you moved back into alignment with peace. Just move forward from there giving no more thought to it.<\/p>\n

Ten minutes should be the minimum time frame that you set aside for inner meditative practice daily. It\u2019s your time to \u201crecharge\u201d and balance your energy reserves. It\u2019s also the best way to start your day. Your day will go much smoother if you give yourself 5-10 minutes each morning to top off, connect and align with your inner strength, the strength that will be \u201cdriving\u201d all your actions that day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STICK WITH IT<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t worry about feeling \u201cawkward\u201d and \u201cout of control\u201d at first. Everyone does initially. And, everyone wants to give up too.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And, that’s where self-discipline comes in. Sticking with it through the “tough times” is good mind discipline and strengthens your “will” <\/a>and makes the “sweet times” all that sweeter. You will get there,\u00a0it gets easier the more you do it. Your mind eventually gives in to the \u201cpeace\u201d you keep offering it and before you know it, 20 minutes goes by in no time at all.<\/p>\n

When you place a battery in \u201ccharge\u201d mode or on a charger base, the battery is no longer focused in \u201caction\u201d mode but it is now in \u201creceptive\u201d mode. \u00a0It is busy making itself strong again by recharging and building its energy reserves. You and I are no different. We need to make sure we are balanced \u2013 with both active and receptive times. After demanding projects and people, we must take time for our-self minus any demands so that we can be receptive and recharge (strengthen our connection) our “inner battery reserves” building strength again.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s not necessarily the length of time that defines how powerful energy reserves become but the depth of peace that is reached when meditating. The stronger your \u201ccharge\u201d is, the longer it will last. It’s not the “longer you charge the stronger you are” but “the stronger your charge the longer it lasts.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

REAP THE BENEFITS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Just ten minutes out of your day focused in meditation empowers you to:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Combat the aging process – Meditation improves, memory, increases focus and attention span and reduces age-related cognitive decline.<\/p>\n

Slow the onset and development of disease<\/p>\n

Lower your risk factor for depression<\/p>\n

Combat anxiety and stress<\/p>\n

Increase immune strength and resilience<\/p>\n

Along with quiet moments of meditation where you are in “receptive” mode, allowing yourself to rest in total peace you also need time to play and just enjoy life. This is another powerful way to recharge, so give yourself some time daily to play, do your favorite things and \u201clove life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Although most people know the dangers of allowing their health to slide, but they simply do nothing to avert an impending\u00a0catastrophe\u00a0in their lives.
