How To Find Yourself – Benefits of Advanced Meditation

When people think of meditation, they tend to think of relaxation and stress release, at least for the vast majority of the Western world.

But there is a lot more to meditation than simply sitting still.

It is important to be aware of the lesser known aspects and consequences of a naturally still mind.

Why is it important to know what a still mind experiences? 

Take a moment to think of the history of Western psychology. Is it not curious that we have made a science out of pathology and mental illness?

We have been so focused on what an imbalanced mind looks like with it’s cornucopia of anxieties, fears, syndromes and personality disorders that we have no idea what a balanced, clear and still mind looks like. 

You’ve heard of the old adage, “What we put attention to grows.” 

There are no wiser words said with regard to our fixation on mental illness. 

Instead of focusing on pathology we need to focus on clarity.

Meditation is far more than just sitting quietly as part of your morning power routine.

Meditation is transformation. It is spiritual alchemy.

Spiritual seekers from all creeds and belief structures eventually come upon meditation because it is like being called back home.

At some time or another, every person will come to ask themselves, “Why am I here?” “What is this world?” and ultimately, “Who am I?”

In order to answer these questions, one must go within and by within, I mean beyond the five outward facing senses.

Find yourself through meditation.

The Spiritual Significance of Self-Sabotaging Behavior

A recent youtube subscriber had written:

“Thank you. I wish I had followed your advice yesterday during my interview for my dream job. I only had a couple of hours sleep the night before (because of stress) and found myself talking and revealing too much during the interview, mostly due to exhaustion. I am much more reserved when rested. It would be good if you could do a video on unconscious self-sabotage or dealing with failure (if you haven’t already)” (This comment was in response to my video on The Art of Silence)

How many can relate?

– When you want to eat healthier but find yourself eating junk food,…

– When you want to start that business but lose steam after a few weeks,…

– When you look for love but attract all the wrong partners,…

– When you vow to spend more quality time with your kids/spouse/parents/etc but find other excuses to occupy yourself,…

– When you try to stick to routines that are healthy and more productive but conveniently forget, avoid, or distract yourself,…

Why do we self-sabotage ourselves? What is behind all this?

What is the spiritual perspective on this? 

I answer all these questions and more in today’s video:
