Meditation is a very old method to reach states of deepest relaxation. Through training concentration, more space is created in which our mind, a higher intelligence that is inherent in us, can work inspiringly within us. It is this intelligence that heals and can bring everything we focus on into abundance. Concentration leads you from everyday challenges and distractions into a peace and serenity that you may not yet have imagined. Both exist within you and bring you into contact with exactly this higher intelligence that is anchored in every cell. Our concentration and our alignment are crucial and are allowed to grow within us through meditation.

Meditation is often associated with self-healing because it can have various positive effects on the body, mind, and emotions. Here are some reasons why meditation is considered a tool for self-healing:

• Stress reduction: Meditation has been proven to have a calming effect on the nervous system. Through regular meditation, stress hormones can be reduced, which can have a positive effect on the entire body.

• Relaxation: Meditation helps to release physical and mental tensions. This can help alleviate pain and discomfort that are often associated with tension.

• Promotion of mental health: Meditation can help calm the mind, reduce anxiety, and improve mood. People who meditate regularly often report increased well-being and better mental health.

• Strengthening the immune system: Some studies suggest that meditation can strengthen the immune system. A healthy immune system is important for the body’s self-healing.

• Mindfulness: Meditation promotes mindfulness, the ability to be present in the current moment. Mindfulness can help break negative thought patterns and promote a positive attitude.

• Improvement of sleep quality: Meditation can help calm the mind and prepare the body for restful sleep. Good sleep is important for the body’s regeneration and self-healing.

  The connection between meditation and energetics can be found in many spiritual practices and alternative healing methods. Here are some aspects that explain the relationship between meditation and energetics:

• Energetic centers (chakras): In many Eastern spiritual traditions, it is taught that the body has energy centers known as chakras. These chakras are said to distribute energy in and around the body. Through meditation, one can try to activate, balance, or harmonize these energy centers.

• Prana or Chi: In various cultures, the term “Prana” (in Hinduism) or “Chi” (in Daoism) is used to describe life energy or vital energy. Meditation techniques, especially breathing exercises, are often used to promote and harmonize the flow of this energy.

• Energy work: Some people practice meditation as a form of energy work. This can involve directing and focusing energy in the body or environment. Reiki, for example, is a form of energy work where practitioners transfer energy through their hands to promote healing and balance.

• Consciousness expansion: In advanced meditation practices, there is often talk of an expansion of consciousness. This can lead to a deeper understanding of one’s own energy and its connection to the greater whole.

• Quantum physics: Some modern interpretations of the connection between meditation and energetics refer to concepts from quantum physics. It is argued that meditation can cause changes at the subatomic level and that states of consciousness can be improved through the influence of energy and vibrations.

It is important to note that the term “energy” in this context is often meant metaphorically. In scientific physics, there is no clear equivalent to these concepts. Experiences regarding energetics are strongly influenced by individual beliefs, cultural backgrounds, and spiritual traditions. It is advisable to be open and respectful of different views and to explore them in a personal context.

Meditation brings us into contact with what holds the world together at its core.
