The Spiritual Law of MEDITATION

The Law of Meditation encourages us to connect with our inner-selves and with spirit.

Meditation is generally a subjective, personal experience. The term can refer to the process of reaching this state, as well as to the state itself.  The word, 'meditation,' means many things dependent upon the context of its use.

The aim and intention of meditation is to still the ‘monkey chatter’ long enough for God (Higher Source, Universe etc) to be able to deliver the seeds of guidance and wisdom.  During these still, quiet moments we are open to inspiration and answers to our questions.  During meditation we have an opportunity to explore the resources available to us.  It is here that we find our true (authentic) selves.  Meditation allows our divine self to expand.

There are hundreds of specific types of meditation.  People practice meditation for many reasons within the context of their culture. Meditation is a component of many religions, and has been practiced since antiquity, especially by monastics. More and more doctors are prescribing meditation as a way to lower blood pressure, improve exercise performance in people with angina, help people with asthma breathe easier, relieve insomnia and generally relax the everyday stresses of life. Meditation is a safe and simple way to balance a person's physical, emotional, and mental states. It is simple; but can benefit everybody.


The use of meditation for healing is not new. Meditative techniques are the product of diverse cultures and peoples around the world. It has been rooted in the traditions of the world's great religions. In fact, practically all religious groups practice meditation in one form or another. The value of Meditation to alleviate suffering and promote healing has been known and practiced for thousands of years.
