Meditation
[in the introduction to The Secret of the Golden Flower]
Meditation plays an important part in AcuEnergetics®, both in the treatment of people and in maintaining health and wellness.
In treatment, we see that people who meditate – doing a meditation such as the inner smile every day – have a quicker response to treatment than those who don’t. Their bodies also heal faster and they are happier and less stressed. Overall, meditation always assists in the treatment process and is highly recommended.
Even for people who don’t have any particular complaints, meditation is also extremely useful. Meditation helps to still the mind, calm our emotions and open our hearts. When our hearts are open we feel blissfully happy, like when we are in love. This is incentive enough to start meditating, but this also means that when our hearts are open we are less likely to react to people and situations around us that can cause upset, frustration and hurt. Meditation helps us to stay balanced, happy and free from the influence of our mind.
Energetically – and when done properly - meditation calms the energy field in and around your physical body. In addition to opening the heart, meditation can also help open up other centres in the body and help energy to flow more freely.
Due to the amazing effect meditation has on the body, mind and energy system, AcuEnergetics® is passionate about meditation and runs meditation nights, workshops and retreats to develop this ancient and beautiful practice.
AcuEnergetics® teaches a wide range of meditations, including the inner smile and inner breath, as well as more advanced energetic practices in opening the light body. Although meditation is not uncommon, these unique and very tangible light body meditations are the only ones of their kind currently being taught anywhere in the world.
The Neshamah meditation Retreats are the most well known AcuEnergetics® meditation workshops as they are focused around learning to open the light body and experience pure consciousness. Neshamah literally means the breath of God- the true higher consciousness. These meditation retreats progress from meditations of stillness and happiness to ancient practices in opening the light body. The meditations help develop practical skills to still the mind, open the heart and light body and experience the divine state of oneness. The meditations also help to relax the tension in the mind, which connects directly to the physical body through the energetic system. This means it is possible to help ease aches and pains and promote good health and wellbeing through opening up these powerful energetic centres. The meditations also promote emotional stability and create a deep sense of happiness.
