The Benefits Of Meditation
A journey of Inner acceptance, self-empowerment and authentic expression of self

by Melanie Tonia Evans

We are all human and we all have 'stuff'. The spiritual journey is not a destination, it is a journey - and so often we need to re-visit the personal journey to continue our own evolution work - because as we know life continually reflects back to us all of the little pieces (and sometimes big pieces) that we still need to work on.

As the creator of the Divine Connection & Meditation Self Empowerment Course, I have been inspired from witnessing so many life-changing (and life-saving) results from as a result of teaching the Course. The most empowering thing about our Meditation Course is the understanding of energy and self-deservedness. As a species, we often struggle with our internal sabotages that create 'less than' results in any area of our life.

As humans, it is so easy to look outside of ourselves for the answers.  Two distinct areas are career direction and our love lives.  We begin to realise that we are continually creating our environment (the situations and people) to achieve just that.

For example, examine your life and try to identify some of the clues that life is granting you. What are the patterns? What are the occurrences?

Are you someone who has difficulty manifesting supporting and loving relationships? (Notice how different thisis to saying 'Have you had inapplicable partners?')

Let's look at this deeper. What are these occurrences mirroring within you? I’ll give you a clue … maybe you are having difficulty supporting and loving your self.'

Let's face it - time and time again you have undergone this experience, yet the only common denominator in regard to these situations was yourself. (Please realise this is NOT a judgement. I SO relate, because I promise you this has been the hardest journey to undergo myself!!)

Now lets look at the opportunities that these circumstances have been presenting you.

Lets examine the perfection… Maybe these 'perpetrators' were actually 'healing angels' in our life, showing us exactly what it was that we needed to heal within ourselves!

OK - I agree it really can 'stink' that people who have done the wrong thing aren't necessarily going to FIX it for us. Yet I can assure you (speaking from total experience) that it really is so much more FUN and POWERFUL when we do it ourselves. 

I mean really, isn't there always circumstances or someone else to blame? Weren't we just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Don't we just have bad luck and unfortunately (through no fault of our own) attract the wrong relationship partners?

And let''s face it, the families that we were born into … of course that was just unfortunate as well. If only we had enjoyed better circumstances, had better opportunities and had more assistance along the way. Surely then life would have been so different!

Yes! I am sure we can all relate to the above,and how often have we enjoyed indulging in our musings and ramblings and "What if's?"

Of course (if we have been 'fortunate' enough) we have been able to solicit understanding and sympathy from others when we are in this state. The only problem is we wake up the next day still dwelling in the past, still feeling powerless and we continue to live out our 'victim mentality'.

Sometimes this can be so damn UNFAIR! Of course when we have had wrong done to us, we are justified in pointing the finger!! After all it was WRONG. Surely that other person should take the responsibility to FIX IT!

However, the sad truth is - whenever we are relying on other people to FIX our lives - we are powerless to take control of it ourselves.

Unfortunately, nothing or no-one is going to come along and change this for us. It REALLY is up to us.

We can then, finally, begin to feel free… we know who we are, and finally we know where we are going.

Life can then begin to take off, because we don't feel co-dependent on others and we experience happiness and purpose as an everyday event, rather than a lucky and unsustainable thing when other people are providing these ingredients for us.

This is the part I like the best…

When we take responsibility for our own journey of inner acceptance, expression of self, and replace FEAR with LOVE we receive boundless opportunities, love and acceptance from the OUTSIDE!

If you don't believe me - I invite you to experience it for yourself!!

No matter how far you are on your journey, I would love to invite you to come and re-visit (or visit as an aware being for the first time) the 'Journey of Self'.

If there is any area of your life that you are struggling with - pick it up, challenge it and empower yourself. Don't settle for second best in life, because you DO DESERVE and your key to freedom is patiently waiting for you!

Whether or not we like it, if we wish to have a happy, empowered and emotionally liberating life, we need to take responsibility. The awareness of this self-responsibility creates astounding realisations. Our Divine Connection & Meditation Self Empowerment Course explains how we always receive what we need in order to become a more complete (happy, peaceful and purposeful) human being.
