Meditation is a powerful practice that can help you understand and manage your emotions. A consistent and simple meditation practice can improve your ability to reduce stress and anxiety, also help you think clearly and make wise decisions. Meditation can help you let go of bitterness and resentment, heal from grief faster, and also increase feelings of calmness and relaxation. Instead of turning away from your feelings you learn to observe them without judgement and eventually you will start feeling a sense of peace and liberation. Simply getting comfortable, closing your eyes and taking several deep cleansing breaths can give you balance and a sense of profound peace.
There is no specific way to meditate, simply find what works best for you. What helps you be in tune with yourself? Maybe listening to calm music, or playing a guitar is your way of calming down; maybe you love gardening or simply doing nothing. If you are a nature lover like me, you may find deep peace when you take a walk at the beach, or in a park. I love nature, and when I spend time in its presence I gain claity and vitality. Nature does us so much good. When you’re going through a hard time in life being alone in nature is all you need to recompose. We all know that divorce can take us off balance and leave us confused, overwhelmed and depressed, on the other hand, nature is organised, balanced, abundant, graceful, beautiful, strong, powerful, happy, joyful, hopeful, energised… it is so rich that just being on its presence turns pain in to peace and grace.
Try meditation to help you cope better with your divorce, make it a daily habit. Don’t let pain and sorrow take over your mind, instead of ruminating on what happened in the past find alignment and balance in the here and now. There is so much to appreciate in this moment.
You can meditate any where, any time. You can meditate while seated, standing, lying down, dancing, singing, eyes opened or closed, listening to music, Etc. As long as you feel comfortable and able to calm your unsettled mind, that is all you need.
Anyone can practice meditation, you don’t have to be on a path to spiritual enlightenment or have any religious beliefs. Meditation provides a simple but powerful way to getting yourself unstuck and back in touch with your own wisdom and vitality.
Too often, we ignore our present moment, immersing ourselves in resentment about the past, or fears about the future, especially when you’re going through a life-changing experience such as divorce. So now, more than ever, you need to learn to bring yourself back into the present moment in order to quiet and unclutter your mind. With a clear mind you will allow your new life to naturally unfold.
Meditation is an appreciation for the present moment and the ending of resistance. When you meditate you surrender, you become connected to yourself and higher source. It is normally said that we pray to express and we meditate to listen. What a great way to be in tune with the body and infinite mind, and feel serene when looking to heal.
