Body Centered Meditation For Health
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
When we practice meditation that brings our attention to our bodies, we may become aware of many aches and pains in our bodies that we hadn't noticed before. These could be very subtle or they could be very noticeable. A pain or discomfort in a particular area of the body we may be inclined to try to get away from it or change it somehow, which is a natural reaction. If the pain isn't a result of some specific physical problem, like in the knees for example, then this may be a chance to really deal with the potential for release and healing.
Many unresolved issues are actually held in the form of tension or discomfort that is held in the body. The subconscious holds the past that has not been healed. The body is a kind of storage for the subconscious to keep things that have not been completed in our lives. That is why in meditation we may discover pain from this, welcome it and use it to release the original hurt.
As this release takes place, we may start to understand what was being held and how it has manifested in our lives. There might, for examples, be a nagging pain in the right shoulder and if you delve deeply into what is being held there you might discover some issue that you had with your father as a child. By tapping into this childhood perception from the relationship with the father, we can get insight into ourselves in some way. The real issue is not what the father did since it's not really about him. He is merely a reflection of what existed within the self.
As a result of this insight into a childhood experience we can begin to look at the pattern we may have with all of our relationships with men. It could illuminate the way we have of relating, or not relating, to men in our lives. In the end we will see that this has distorted the pattern of our own masculine polarity. Frequently if we take a look back in our lives, we will notice that an issue in the masculine relates to the initial imprinting from the father, and if it exists in the feminine, than it is from the mother. They are both the reflection and the imprint of what we bring with us into life, and because of the law of sympathetic attraction will attract us to the parent that matches the karma that we have picked to work out in our lives.
The case with emotional pain is similar. We will be free to notice the process if we really notice and stay with the experience of emotional pain in our bodies, if we can feel this and try to be patient with it.
We aren't able to sit and meditate whenever we experience uncomfortable emotions or feelings. The practice of regular meditation can give us the ability to be in the moment of each experience in our lives as it happens, and this can give us great personal power.
