The Healing Power of Meditation
My sister on her 50th birthday, six months before she passed away.
Last year was tumultuous to say the least. In the span of a few months, my father had heart surgery, my mother had a bone-breaking fall, and my sister became ill and died of an aggressive, relentless form of cancer.
When it was all over, I was exhausted, heartbroken, and needed to step back from my mediumship work to heal. Meditation, usually a daily ritual for me, became a struggle. Each time I tried, I was flooded with tears.
I paused giving mediumship readings and allowed myself the space to heal. When I finally felt ready to return, my meditation practice was still off track, and my readings were just okay — but that was a start. I likened it to getting back on a bicycle after a crash; I wasn’t aiming to win races, just to find my balance again.
As I continued to meditate, eventually, I could get through a session without breaking down. I gradually increased my practice, meditating twice a day, and soon, my readings became more accurate than they had been in over a year.
Meditation as a Tool for Everyday Intuition
Meditation, specifically a practice called Sitting in the Power, is a powerful tool for enhancing intuitive sensitivity. While it’s a well-known technique among spiritual practitioners to improve mediumship accuracy, its is also a great tool for enhancing the everyday intuition you need to navigate routine life.
Whether you’re looking to sharpen your everyday intuition or seek guidance in your daily life, Sitting in the Power can help you achieve your goal.
Meditation for Everyday Intuition
Mediumship may not be your goal, but that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t benefit from practicing Sitting in the Power. It is a powerful tool for any type of intuitive or spiritual connection. How? When you’re deeply meditating, you’re switching your brain wave state from beta, the normal awake/alert state, to gamma or delta, the state of relaxed awareness. Studies show that the relaxed awareness state is associated with enhanced intuition and creative insight.1
Simple Steps to Boost Your Intuition
Good news: you don’t need to dedicate hours each day to see results. Ideally, 20 minutes daily is perfect, but even a few minutes can make a difference. I created a simple three-minute, nine-breath meditation for those who, like me, sometimes let time constraints be an excuse not to meditate. You can download the meditation for free. Three minutes—everyone can find time for that! I call it my “mini-med.”
I encourage you to give it a try and share your experience. In a couple of weeks, I’ll dive into the science behind why meditation is such a powerful tool for boosting intuition.
