ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE - MEDITATION

"Meditation is quantum medicine and energy healing - the practice of using consciousness and pure potentiality to focus attention on the realization of our inner state of being to know self - "I am". - Saquina Akanni

Meditation is an Alternative medicine, energy healing medicine and mind-body intervention technique used in all of the natural and traditional medicines such as Ayurveda medicine, Chinese medicine and Native American medicine just to mention a few. There are hundreds of different meditation styles and techniques, most of which fall into one of five categories: concentration, mindfulness, transcendental meditation, Qi Gong meditation and Quantum meditation.

Meditation is one of the energy healing medicines that use pure potentiality, consciousness, thought, mind, awareness, attention, focus and intention to tap into the deeper realization of the multifaceted layers of ones being and ones life.

Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years by many different cultures and traditions and is one of the ultimate energy healing medicines. It is both an art and a skill. Meditations to those who have spent time doing it know the benefits it can bring about into our life affecting the quality of health, mind, body, spirit and soul. Benefits include more energy, positive state of mind and a sense of being centered. Studies have shown that meditation increases the level of melatonin - a hormone that supports your immune system. Therefore making your immune system stronger and making you healthier. This hormone also slows down the signs of aging, increases sleep patterns, increases energy levels and may even inhibit cancer cells from growing. One of the more well known forms of meditation that may come to mind is Chakra Meditation, which is a method used to aligns the energy centers called Chakras in Chakra Therapy. Meditation is also an effective means of treating stress and managing pain.

During concentration meditation, attention is focused on quieting the mind and uses methods of focusing on a single sound, an object or one's breath, to bring about a calm, tranquil mind.

During mindfulness meditation, the attention is concentrated and focused on disciplines where the mind becomes aware, but does not react to the variety of sensations, feelings, images and environment tied in with a current activity.

During transcendental meditation (TM) the focus is on stillness of the mind, where the mind is allowed to settle inward beyond thought to experience the source of thought or pure potential awareness to bring about a state of deep relaxation, in which the body is totally at rest, yet the mind is in a highly alert state. This is known as transcendental consciousness or experiencing the unified field.

During Qi Gong meditation many disciplines are available and all the previous methods and techniques mentioned can be used with the focus always on using Qi or energy to bring about the desired state of being: tranquil mind, calm emotion, relaxed body, highly alert and energy healing.

Quantum meditation uses the same approach as Qi Gong with various additional methods and techniques including bio electric devices such as; CDs, mp3 downloads, guided sessions, enlightenment sessions, success, and of course energy healing.

Meditation allows the body to switch to an alpha (resting) or theta (relaxing) brain-wave state, during which the brain's rhythm slows and endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, are released. Studies have shown that during meditation, metabolism is lowered, resulting in a slower heart rate, decreased blood pressure, and slower breathing. In the seventies, Dr. Herbert Benson, a cardiologist at the Harvard Medical School, formulated the theory of an inborn "relaxation response" that can be cultivated to counteract stress. Eliciting it, Benson wrote, "… can help counteract the effects of repeated insults of stress on the heart and other organs."
