Accessing the Power of Meditation

I have better understanding and deeper insight than all my teachers for I meditate on your words. ­– A Psalm

 I have often wondered at folks that seem to have all the right answers and right ideas at the right time. When such people speak you hear comments like, “How did that come to you,” and “I never thought of it that way.” Have you met such people?

For me the problem has not been that I never have such “perfect” ideas at the perfect time but that such ideas come too far apart from each other. If you would produce such energy you would want to produce it as frequently as the need arises.

The difference between regular folks and people that produce such results oftentimes comes to one thing – meditation. To meditate means to give deeper contemplative thought to a thing. It means to sit on the information available for you over an issue until deeper light pops up from inside you. Folks that practice meditative reasoning on the issues that face them produce far better results than those that respond as the external need demands.

To develop meditation, you need to give room for the following:

1.     Focus. You must learn to drop all else and give room to settling the issue at hand.

2.     Discipline. It takes a lot of discipline to live a meditative life. You will rebel against yourself more-often-than-not and so must learn to control yourself.

3.     Patience. The “powerful” idea may not come as fast as you thought it will. You must be patient enough to give it the time it demands.

4.     Off-beat thinking. Some ideas that would come to you would not make immediate sense. Your mind must be fluid enough to accept that fact and not discard “stupid” ideas that come to you.

5.     Calm spirit. The best environment for my meditation is a quiet one with worship music in the background. As I write this piece I have this environment set. It opens up my heart to deeper thoughts. You must find your best environment.

6.     Education. It is difficult to get a free flow of ideas into an empty mind. You must have learned something prior to your need for meditation. I prescribe Intentional Education to get you going.

If you have these settled you can get set for a surge of ideas you never thought will come to you.
