Meditation is a powerful tool for preventive medicine. It promotes self-healing and stimulates deep well-being. In this article, you will learn four ways to use meditation for health and wellness. You will also read a comprehensive story about how mindfulness and meditation cure a woman's cancer.
Let's start with the story of magical healing from Ian Gawler and Paul Bedson's "Meditation: In-Depth Guidance" [Jeremy P. Tarcher / Penguin, 2011].
Bernice cures her cancer
[pp. 274-278, MAIG]
In 1980, Bernice Groeke was diagnosed with melanoma in her lower leg and she had been surgically removed. A year and a half later, the doctor found melanoma in the lymph nodes of the groin and surgically removed melanoma. A year and a half later, the cancer had spread to her lungs, and the doctor said it could not be operated. They said that there is nothing in medicine that can be done for her. She only has a few months of life.
Bernice decided to join a 12-week cancer self-help group. Shortly after joining the group, the discussion turned to the mentality of dealing with the physical pain and mental-emotional pain of cancer. Bernice never really thought about her mentality.
However, when the group discussed the power of mindfulness and positive thinking, Bernice quickly realized how often her usual mentality was negative. In fact, she has put her responsibilities on the alert and warned her family and friends of anything that might go wrong. On the other hand, she quickly warned herself and others not to be too excited about the new possibilities, because they are likely to end in disappointment.
Bernice realized that her mindset was the definition of a "glass half-empty" lifestyle. Therefore, after understanding the benefits of more positive thinking, she decided to change her habitual mentality. In order to do this, she decided to repeat "I am a positive person" when she recognizes her negative.
About six weeks after her new mindfulness and affirmation practice, she was sitting with her husband after dinner, when she practiced a melanoma that was uncomfortably pressed against her spine. Her husband noticed her excitement and asked what the problem was.
Bernice replied, "Maybe the doctor is right. Maybe I am just joking. Maybe I should accept the fact that I will die and give up all other things." [Page 275, MAIG]
Her husband expressed sympathy for her suffering and was aware of her new affirmation. Therefore, he replied: "Oh, this is fun, not just sympathy."
"What do you mean, what am I?" she replied.
"Oh, I thought you are an active person now," he said.
Bernice reflected on this and replied: "You are right, I am."
Bernis recalls that, as she said, she feels a clear shift inside the body, as if the switch had been turned on. From that moment on, she can see the positive side in all kinds of situations.
Shortly after this inner transformation, she meditated and prayed in the church and had a profound mystical experience of the existence of God. In this experience, she understood a sentence in the Bible: "Sit down, know that I am God." ". From that moment on, her faith has been strengthened. She found that healthy eating and treatment can be done more easily through meditation. She is also keen to serve others.
Within six months, the scan showed that her lungs cleared all tumors. And, within a year, to their surprise, the doctor claimed that she had no cancer.
Shortly thereafter, Bernice volunteered to talk to the Gaulle Foundation's meditation team and tell her stories about her. When she spoke, her radiance, her passion for life was full of appeal. Bernice became an inspiring spiritual force.
A few years later, her husband died in the late 1980s. Her friends and family want to know how Bernice will accept his death. After all, they have been together for more than sixty years.
Although she was sad and very sad, her flexibility made her surprised. She said, "Well, you know, Wain is really sad, I will miss him very much, but it will be very interesting... I have never lived alone before. Think about Wain again?"
Shortly thereafter, in order to help pay for the fee, Bernice received a student boarder from overseas. They soon became best friends. She found his life in Australia and saved her company and financial support. This is a wonderful new chapter in her life.
Then, in 2009, at the age of 93, her cancer disappeared 26 years later - it reappeared. This time, she quickly deteriorated.
At first she thought she was wrong. She went to Gaulle and expressed her disappointment with herself. Gault quickly reminded her that her recovery was very significant. She has not had cancer for 26 years. He reminded her that we are all dead - we don't always know why. He also reminded her of her beliefs.
Bernice admits that she has lost contact with her faith, and now she has some doubts and fears of death.
Gower encouraged her, and suspicion and fear are the natural feelings of human beings, especially in the face of death. He encouraged her to cautiously recognize her doubts and fears and accept their nature - facing the unknown natural feelings. He also suggested to Bernis that death is like "going home."
He reminded Bernice of her beliefs and encouraged her to imagine what it would be like to rest in a sacred being. He told her that "death is easy, she has a good life, she can easily review it and no regrets."
With the support of Gawler's words, Bernice decided to focus on the sacred existence and imagine that he would be integrated into it when the time was right.
Bernice died peacefully in less than a week. Moreover, her funeral is a happy celebration of her life. The family, friends and a group of people who moved with her smiling service celebrated her meaning to them.
A beautiful story.
4 ways to meditate to support health and treatment
So what can we get from the story of Bernice to help us heal and be healthy?
1. Your thoughts will affect your healing ability
As we saw in Bernice, her treatment began with healing her attitude, her habitual mentality. She recognizes her habit of looking at life through negative and fearful shots. She is always vigilant, vigilant, and looking forward to the worst. Before joining the cancer self-help group, she did not really notice that it was a state of mind, or that it was harmful - she just thought she was due diligence, responsibility and caution.
By affirming "I am a positive person", Bernice learned to change his mindset.
Now, having a positive mindset is not about making things better or getting things better. It is about observing the opportunities that exist in each case. It's about seeing what you can do instead of focusing on what's impossible. It's about appearing "what is" and noting what you can do to push things in the right direction.
When you do this, you can start yourself with a wider range of possibilities and get more inspiration to take positive action.
The choices you make are important
When you open yourself to a wider range of possibilities, you realize that you can choose to take action that has a positive impact on yourself and others. Things are not "just the way they are", they are the result of a series of choices that combine to create specific results.
Meditation supports a clear visual state in which you can identify options and make the right choices. Through meditation, you become more capable of choosing effective things and giving up what you don't have.
When Bernice began to seek the possibility of healing, she began to make different choices. She chose to say that she was positively rethinking. She took a healthy diet. She mediates every day. She has increased her efforts to serve others. She has expanded her community.
Over time, these combined with other invisible forces created healing.
Meditation itself supports treatment
One of the most important things you can do is to promote your physical and mental - emotional activation to activate your body's natural relaxation response.
When you are in stress mode, excessive busyness and excessive fatigue, your body limits the flow of energy to digestion, immunity and higher thinking. Your sympathetic nervous system directs all energy out and you lose the ability to absorb nutrients, repair cells and make the right choices.
Our bodies alternate between activity and rest. Most people are too active. We go from one thing to another, don't let ourselves have time to consciously deal with the events of the day. Then, we spend our sleep time actively dealing with the life of our dreams. This hinders deep rest and recovery.
When you consciously relax and use tools such as meditation, you can activate your parasympathetic nervous system, your natural recovery and repair mode. This leads to the re-introduction of digestion, immunity and higher thinking skills. You also begin to deal with and integrate the events of the day and your life so that you can make the past and the present more.
For these reasons, it is important to use a tool such as meditation to consciously activate the relaxation response at least once a day for at least 10-20 minutes.
Meaningful image support therapy
Bernice has a strong faith in God. Therefore, she found that imagining herself in the sacred existence was very helpful and healing. This makes her feel comforted and comforted. Her beliefs also prompted her to take other treatments, serve others, and build communities.
When we only consider ourselves and our own pain, it is easy to fall into the dilemma of "I am a blessing". Expand your horizons and achieve greater...
