This interest was triggered by a course I attended a year before on the Law of Attraction. In the course I was told that meditation is very powerful tool in practising the law of attraction.
Coincidently, my yoga teacher informed us that she was starting a short course on Meditation made Simple. Being new to meditation, I thought it is fantastic for a newbie like me.
I wanted something I can grasp and understand.
It was a 4 day course on Saturdays in the afternoon for 3 hours each.
The course can be seen in 2 stages:
1) First stage, how to use meditation for Gratitude and contentment.
2) Meditation as a way to achieve what you need, using a mantra(the thing that you want more in your life eg love, focus, wealth, happiness etc
Its seem simple enough.
We practiced the methods taught and after each practice, I do feel its impact.
For eg for stage one, if you are angry at somebody or feel uneasiness, close your eyes for just 30 seconds and feel and visualize how this person had made you happy. After practicing a few times a day, your mind and emotions will live that moment and see how your present emotions will revisit that moment. You will then work within yourself to reachieve that happy moment. The change starts with you and when you meet the person, you are a better centred person and that is infectious.
I find the second stage mind blowing, by practicing it, my life has changed so much.
Before the course I was aimless about what I wanted to centre on. I felt that after being a full time mother and coming back home to Singapore, I was slowly losing the centred me. Sometimes it upsets me. I realise I must do something about it.
There are a few things that I wished I had more of. I wanted to be able to focus, I wanted yoga buddies. I used to go to the studio, practiced and come home. It felt lonely. Nobody among my friends has a strong interest in yoga. And I wish I could improve my practice.
Before attending this course, I told the teacher that I had attended a course on Law of Attraction.She told me this Meditation course, is much bigger than that. Then, I did not understand what she meant. Now I do.
Whatever I wished for in my heart is answered since then. When I pray, I use my meditation to communicate with God and I am so greatful that all my prayers are answered.
What the teacher said is true.
Since completing the Meditation made Simple course, I have attended and completed a 200hr YOGA teacher training course which is recognised by YOGA ALLIANCE, USA. I am now attending my advance 500 hr Yoga teacher training course. I have many yoga buddies whom I can bounce ideas about asanas, progress or just life.
They say your friends at each stage of your life is a reflection of what you are at that time. I am at my YOGA stage now. I am 46 years old. I feel so blessed to be able to delve into my yoga with the support of people I love, particularly my husband.
