Health and Happiness Come From Within

I've noticed since meditating that I am much more focused on my health and body and getting things under control with my Rheumatoid Arthritis. I've been focused on doing the research on supplements and medications. I feel energized and hopeful in this journey now. Instead of spending money on clothes or make-up, I am now spending it on supplements that may help my arthritis, even getting non-teflon cookware and natural products.

Meditating makes a person aware of the inside world within our bodies and minds. I am hoping to discover a better more solidified connection between my mind and body in the upcoming weeks from meditating.

The hardest part about it, is finding time to do it. My husband is the furthest person from being mind-body and health aware so it's not really a priority to him that I get time to meditate. In fact, he laughed at the idea when I first mentioned it to him. It's like a lot of things in life where we just have to realize it's not up to us to explain why we need what we need, it's a waste of time, but just doing it and making it clear it's important to you will speak for itself.

Meditation is not for the weak of mind

Meditation is for busy minds like mine. Actually this past week or so trying out meditation wasn't so hard. I've just sat alone, sitting straight up with good posture, resting my hands on my knees, and simply tyring to let thoughts come and go without attention to them. This, of course, takes practice, and I'm getting the hang of it and realizing the vale of meditation. Plus my posture has improved all through the day. Interesting.

This next week I want to focus thoughts on my health; physical and mental well-being.

p.s I was focusing on improving my blood test outcomes by listening to my hypnosis CD's but I got my blood tests back from during that time and nothing had improved, some worse. So I'm not sure about hypnosis CD's working for much more than just relaxation.
