Yesterday I asked how to keep your negative emotions from causing physical problems when you don’t even know you are having negative emotions.
I think one of the major preventative modalities may be a daily meditation. I usually do a morning meditation but sometimes it is not convenient. I was traveling in Arizona the first week in November returning home on the 8th late at night. There was only one day I did any meditation while on the road. I started having various health issues the Sunday I returned and the suspected shingles showed up on Friday.
Would the illness not have shown up if I had been meditating? I don’t know for sure but whenever I don’t meditate for a week, I have a hard time getting back in the swing of meditating. That relaxed state of being is sometimes elusive and I have to have several days of trying for it before I succeed.
Why would meditating help? It provides a centering, a space of time of being in the now or being totally present. I think that is like providing an uncluttered place in your thoughts and emotions. It is like a clean house. When the house is clean you feel more relaxed (at least if you are a women). Meditating provides that house cleaning that allows you to relax and be more settled in the turmoil that may be raging around you.
How do you meditate? I’ll cover that tomorrow.
