A message on meditation....

   Hello all, we here at Godlink were lead by the Holy Spirit of God,to share a message with those that prayed for it. A message about prayer,the commandments of God,& meditation. Posted in our blog titled "Get linked into the flow",on 6-12. We've covered a lot of area here already, & now we're gonna talk about meditation. Meditation can be achieved a few different ways, most commonly is to start with rhythmic breathing. With eyes closed preferably in a sitting up position. Put your feet flat, your hands to your side and flat to surface as well. Make sure there will be no one around to distract you for at least 20 minutes. You should be able to give and receive in this twenty minutes, but some of us need more time. It may take a little longer for some to relax, and some may have more to receive than others.  Take the time you need so it's not wasted, if you want results. Sometimes you'll have to practice, a couple of times a day and by the end of the week maybe let's say on the Sabbath, you'll get results. OK, so your sitting comfortably in a quiet area, you close your eyes and breath in deep and let out slow, in deep and out slow. You'll do this until you are completely relaxed. Now you can begin to let your thoughts go as they come to you. Don't dwell on them just let them go, soon your thoughts will be at rest. When this happens begin to pray in your thoughts for wisdom and understanding, find your peace and keep it. As children we meditate a lot but don't know were doing it. Can you ever remember sitting still, stooping or sitting as a child somewhere and even sometimes humming. Believe it or not you were meditating, as children belong to God they have a special connection. If you belong to someone there's always some sort of connection, a way to communicate. My children are my responsibility, and over all, God is in charge but, all the little things add up to big things. My responsibility is to try and keep these little things from adding up, sometimes it's a  challenge but victory is sweet, like fruit. Yes I'm sure you've heard that word before, fruit. It's something asked of us in the bible, we must produce good fruit. I could go on here but then we'll get away from our discussion on meditation, even though they go together there's a lot of info to go over. As I was saying children have a connection with Jesus & The Father, and we as parents have a connection with our children. At times our Father works with us when tending our children. Fact is Jesus always keeps a connector ready for you to link up to because He is the connection to The Father.  So get hooked up, get linked in, and stay connected to a spiritual realm around us, far greater than the tiny world we live in. 
    The Holy Spirit of God can only speak truth and wisdom, and can only bring gifts of comfort and talent. It's a good thing to purify your heart with repentance before you begin to meditate. Keep your food intake lite before you meditate, maybe some crackers or plain popcorn to keep your tummy from grumbling. Sometimes we get too wrapped up in the whole process and forget our true purpose in meditating. Make sure you remember to have a notebook near you. When you come gently out of your meditative state you will need to write down everything that comes to mind in thought. If you meditate often, you might start catching yourself meditating while your staring out your window. In other words it becomes part of your lifestyle because it's a natural condition we were born with, The Divine Creator designed you that way. Happy meditating, I hope this helps answer your questions.

Carry me on your wings
  take me from certain disaster 
an uncertain life swings
  unbalanced without our master
feed me spiritual thought
  give me strength through wisdom
acting on what you've taught 
  daydreaming of your kingdom
