Today I came across this insightful video explaining meditation with a Rubik’s Cube. It got me thinking. So many people find meditation a bit of a challenge to use much less understand. I was one of those people for years. I’ve come to use meditation every day now. Personally I needed someone to explain it to me and help me understand what was happening and how it works. For me that was the Silva Method. I’m a very practical person so the science of it made sense.

I’m so glad that I can use it every day and benefit from its incredible effects on my life. Probably one of the most noticeable changes is the story I’m telling myself. I’ve gone from being a disappointed victim of circumstance to a person with clarity, direction and purpose in life. This doesn’t remove the difficulties and challenges but they are not longer the mountains they used to be. They are no longer who I am.

I would have to say there are two complementing tools that go hand in had with meditation: affirmations and creative visualization. But more on that some other time. One thing I like about this presentation is the connection with sleep. Sleep is the natural way the body gets its rest and meditation is very similar to sleep in that sense. The difference is, we are actively engaging it and using it to bring balance and strength back to all aspects of our life. Enjoy the video and tell me what you think.
