How meditation removes barriers, fears, and can take you on the trip of your lifetime
by Carole Dean
I have been meditating daily since the ‘70s. This was the only way that I could run and manage my film company offices in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. I found quiet places in each office to meditate. In New York, it was our air conditioner room. In Los Angeles it was the office supply room.
A good meditation is amazing. It’s like being in this magic library full of ideas and thoughts.
I used to say I was taking inventory, but they knew I was meditating. So, I just put a sign on the door saying “meditating” and they were as quiet as church mice. They knew I needed peaceful time alone. They knew this was good for me because I always came out of those rooms much happier than I went into them.
Connecting to the Quantum Field
Sages have been telling us for centuries that it’s in the quiet that we connect to our higher self. I think it’s more than that. I think we’re connecting to the quantum field, that incredible field physics tells us is invisible and yet it surrounds us and fills the air with heightened energy from here throughout our entire universe.
This quantum field is said to be the record keeper of all time. It remembers everything, it hears everything, it sees everything. It’s an archival storage unit for all of us to tap into.
It’s like finding your favorite radio station. When you find it you normally remember how to tune back into it. Once your body finds this magic spot it will remember, your body remembers and creates a pathway back to the field so you can go there again and again.
Becoming Part of the Conscious Universe
When you get into a completely relaxed state, magic happens! Your whole body seems to dissolve into nothingness. You are just this little particle; your true self, and you realize you are part of a vast supporting and caring universe. You realize this is a conscious universe we live in. There is so much knowledge and information available to you in this place that you need to find your way in and experience for yourself what I’m talking about.
A good meditation is amazing. It’s like being in this magic library full of ideas and thoughts. All you have to do is tune in to this place where you’re totally relaxed. You’ll forget you have a body and the next thing you know 20 minutes is gone and you’re sitting there thinking, “Gee that was easy.”
You now have an answer for what seemed like a perplexing problem in the beginning. If you don’t have an answer or any ideas immediately, you will get them soon.
Releasing Your Creativity
You will notice daily how your creativity is improving. Somehow you have less blocks. Your creativity soars and grows more confident daily. It is directly tied to meditation. The more you meditate the more creative you become. Somehow this removes any barriers or fears and opens you to your normal creative self.
In meetings you can better express yourself. You become a much better problem solver and are the first one to focus on the problem and a solution. You seem to be very clear on identifying problems and finding solutions and you use your creativity in doing these things.
Sometimes I go into a meditation presenting a problem and then offering a solution or two. Normally another option pops into my head that is much better than anything I offered. I thank the quantum field; I thank our Conscious universe and I give gratitude for the incredible support they give me. All of this is available for you too.
The Benefits of Slowing Everything Down
So, what’s so important about relaxation and meditation Carole? We’re living in a world that is fueled by caffeine. We love our daily espressos and lattes and cold flats and anything to get us revved up. So why slow down?
It’s in the stillness that you heard the little voice.
Getting quiet allows you to relax your entire body and the benefits to the organs of your body are incredible. A 20-minute meditation for the body can be the same as almost two hours of rest according to the Transcendental Meditation people have done a lot of research on meditation. Many of our actors and filmmakers us TM to relax and learn to meditate. This is a great option for you.
You don’t get into the quantum field driving a Ferrari. You get there by totally relaxing, chilling out and getting into your true self, which is that tiny bit of you that came into this body and that will leave this body, that eternal you.
Taking The Trip of a Lifetime
Finding that true self and going on journeys with it into the quantum field are the greatest treat in life. If you’ve not tried this, I guarantee you there’s nothing more exciting and more fulfilling then to sit in a quiet place totally relax and then through your meditation, have the trip of a lifetime.
You come back from your meditation totally relaxed and with knowledge, confidence and realizing that you are supported. Your mind is lazar focused. You know what your priority is and how to do it. You’ll feel very confident. Believe me, it’s empowering to meditate and get centered and focused.
You will know there is a place for you to go to tap into the akashic records. This place where all information is stored, it’s a library of thoughts and knowledge. There are solutions to problems with abundant knowledge; it is all there to empower you. It has been accumulating information for you since the beginning of time.
Scheduling Your Meditations
Relaxation and meditation are things that the more you do them the better they get. In the beginning you need to put meditation in your calendar but before long, your body and your mind will remind you because they love it. Your body has 20 minutes to rest and regroup. Your mind gets to clear out the “stuff” and then can help you clearly focus on what you need to do.
Giving this time to yourself is a wonderful gift. It will return you many beneficial rewards. Getting started is the hard part. You need to have consistency with meditation.
Meditation advances with each sitting and soon it makes what Chopra calls “quantum leaps.” That’s when you really know you are hitting the motherload. The more you do it the better it gets.
Getting Help Winding Down and Relaxing
I want to recommend a person who has relaxation and meditation videos that you pay for once and they are yours forever.
For years I have worked weekly with Sevina Altanova. Sevina helps me relax and gives me Reiki sessions on a weekly basis. I use her yoga exercise video in the morning to keep my body in shape and, sometimes I use her meditation tapes in the daytime to take me on a wonderful guided tour.
Sevina is an actress who immigrated from Bulgaria with her director/writer husband and two lovely boys. Please check out her website. https://stressmanagementresources.com/ Look under “Meditation” for her 11 Science-based reasons for meditation. Check out her “Relaxation” information and be sure to take advantage of the free meditation.
