The Real Fountain of Life - Part 2

*To read part 1 of this series, see below.

As I said last week, to change your life, you must change your vibrational frequency/consciousness so that your state of being now matches the reality that you desire. Meaning that to be rich you must find a way to feel rich right now. Or to have a strong and healthy body you must find a way to feel strong and healthy right now. When you feel it, you are in that state. And as you spend more time in that state, your reality shifts to match.

I also mentionned that there are two general points from which to start:

From an exterior-based practice that moves deeper. Or starting deep inside and allowing the inner transformation to permeate every part of your "external" reality. The fastest way to change would be to do both internal and external "work" on yourself, and that's what many do, but for our purposes here I'm going to stick to the two categories.

Last week I spoke about physical exercice being the real Fountain of Life as far as "external" practices are concerned. This week, it's meditation.

When you hear the word "meditation", what comes to mind?

The Dalai Lama? Buddhism? Monks chanting sacred mantras? An old man with a long white beard sitting alone on a mountaintop?

I know many people do. I do too, although these things form only a small part of everything that can now be included in the term. The truth is that the foundation of all forms of meditation (and there are as many as there are types of dances, music, or belief systems), is a quieting of thoughts. It is finding the stillness and silence that is our true being. The only difference is in the technique used to silence the mind. Some focus on the breath, a mantra, a visualisation, or an activity of some sort (like tai chi, yoga or walking), but the end result sought is the same. Inner peace and clarity.

And as the mind rests, allowing worries and stress to dissipate, the body relaxes. Which makes meditation one of the greatest practices for healing and rejuvenating one's health. And the REAL Fountain of Life as "internal" practices go.

Integrate some form of physical exercise and some form of meditation into your daily or weekly routine now and as the years go by people will marvel that you seem to age very little or not at all. You will smile or laugh, remembering how this journey all began... being grateful that you went with it and never really stopped. And now that people notice, it is your turn to guide those who ask.
