Pain and Unhappiness are misconceptions to the nature of Reality. Which bring me to the four noble truths of Lord Buddha, which are:
Truth of suffering
Cause of suffering
Cessation of said suffering and it's causes
The path to that cessation
I, as I am sure all of us at one time or another in our lives need to take stock of mental, emotional and Spiritual stability. We need to develop a single pointed concentration of meditative stabilization to be able to recognise these Truths and heal the pain that causes us to shut down. One can not love if thier own glass is only half full. We must learn to fill that "Glass" within ourselves so that we can give the love that we wish to give to the people in our lives.
The first most basic step in meditation is to alighn the chakras. You can do this in any position you wish. I usually sit cross legged with my wrists resting on my knees, or in Proud Mountain pose.
Begin by rolling your head three times on each side and breathing deeply then alighn your spine. If you are sitting, feel roots come from your tailbone and anchor into the floor or ground and sread out to draw the energy that you need.
Feel the energy flow into your spine and travel up to your pelvic region. This is your root chakra and controls the way you feel about yourself and sexual passions. It is the color Red.
Then feel the energy flow up your spine to your sacral chakra which is located two inches deep beneath your navel. and it's color is Orange.
Then feel the energy flow to your Solar Plexus Chakra which is located directly beneath the Solar Plexus. and it's color is Yellow.
Push the energy up your spine further to the Heart chakra which is colored green and is the heart it's self. Controls the flow of blood and energy through your body.
Then push the energy further up your spine to the Throat chakra which is located between the thyroid glands and controls the hyper Thymus glands. It's color is Blue.
Feel the energy flow up to your third eye or Brow chakra and open to spiritual enlightenment. It is the color Purple.
Now feel the energy flow to the top of your head at the crown, Your Crown chakra and feel the energy burst forth from that spot and fountain down into a puddle around your legs. Then draw it back up through your body again. Do this for as long as you can hold focus.
Do not be discouraged, it does take time but once the chakras are alighned everything else falls into place. Your body begins to feel better and your mind as well. This is how healing begins it's slow process. it's not a quick heal, this takes time and patience and dedication. We have to learn to heal ourselves and find our Joy, or Nirvana if you will.
Peace Be The Journey, Blessed Be and Namaste'
