As we move into retirement,
we realize it is not possible to roll back time or undo or change bad decisions
we made in the past. However, using meditation, we can change the way we feel
about the bad decisions we made in the past so that they will stop tormenting
us in the present. We all carry a lot of baggage from the past, such things as
maybe a broken heart, hurt feelings, or bad memories of friends or loved ones
that have lied, cheated, or betrayed us, events that may have brought us pain, or
we may torment ourselves over opportunities we may have missed out on or even
wrong choices we made in our lives.
We absolutely cannot allow
ourselves to let things in the past change or take over our present lives. Meditation
is simply collecting our thoughts in a relaxing atmosphere. If you take the
time to learn how to heal your past it will enable you to be happy in the
present. You may ask how can you heal the past? You can look at past situations
you cannot change in a brighter light with a new understanding on the events in
the past have hurt you. When your by yourself in a quiet place start your
meditation.
Think about how whatever may
have happened to you in the past may even be a benefit to you. You know how bad
you felt when something or somebody said or did something to you that you felt
that you had no purpose in life or was not good enough to associate with
others. Meditating about how those things in the past made you feel helps you
to understand how others who are now in the same situation you were in then
feel about themselves.
You know how they feel so you
maybe can tell them your experience back then and how you turned it around and
made a life for yourself. So, many of us just need someone to take the time to
just say hello or nice day isn't it? Just a kind word to someone who has had a
bad day can make all the difference in the world. My mother told me that you
can kill more flies with honey. Meditation can make you feel so much more
positive and give you a different outlook on life in general, it is something
very positive you can do to help yourself.
What I understand my mother
meant was if you have been around someone that wasn't pleasant or had a bad
attitude don't act like that person does, instead just turn the other cheek and
it may rub off on the person who has a bad attitude. Meditation could be the
key to this happening. So, you see meditation can be used to turn bad
situations into something good or even good situations into something great.
Shining the light of the new understanding on those events that happened in the
past will help you have a feeling of acceptance, peace, and happiness.
