Finding Relief With Meditation

I want to take you beyond the limits of your traditional considerations and experiences. This new way of life begins with 2 questions that are very easy. The first question is; do I want this to be true: "Every event that may befall me is absolutely the best possible event that could occur." Meditate before deciding this so that you can think about it with a clear mind and answer it truthfully. The next question is tougher; it is to truthfully answer this question: Will I give that a chance to be true?

Picture- using meditation- that God has come before you this instant and said: "I promise you that all that you experience from this moment forward may be of the greatest benefit to you and will bring you the utmost good fortune, " Suppose God proceeded to tell you, "Even though what occurs may appear at times ill-fated or even painful, in the end your life will be wonderfully blessed and hugely benefited by whatever may happen to you. Take a minute and meditate. How would you feel about that wonderful news? Happy? Perhaps you may even be overcome with happiness.

Would it not be the greatest news that you could ever hear? Wouldn't you heave a deep sigh of relief and feel as if a great burden had been lifted from your mind? Wouldn't you then respond to the next thing that comes up-even if it was painful or took something from you or appeared wrong or even unlucky- look at it as though it was going to be a blessing in disguise for you, the best possible thing that could have occurred? If you have not enthusiastically answered yes, clear your mind, meditate on it. Perhaps you have mistaken what I am talking to you about.

I am not discussing the common phrase we commonly hear, "try to make the best of things," which merely means" The situation or occurrence really is wrong and terribly unlucky, but do what is necessary to salvage some good out of it." Nor do I mean that within even the worst event possible, there can be found a little bit of good. I am not talking in terms of such restricted ideas. I am talking in unrestricted terms, where every event that befalls you is absolutely the best event that could occur-that there is no other event imaginable that could benefit you to any greater degree.

So, again, while you meditate contemplate wouldn't that be the best bit of news you could be given? If you are willing to give this new notion a chance and really believe that all that happens to you will happen for a reason. When thinking about anything, to get a great deal of relief just clear your mind and meditate about all the good that is to come. Meditation can be a much better alternative than medicine and you might just be real astounded at how much better you will begin to feel after practicing it for awhile.
