Herbalife and Meditation

Many of my patients and coaching clients over the years have asked me how they can experience some kind of elevation in their state of consciousness without resorting to drugs or other artificial means. I actually believe that we are all meant to regularly experience ‘natural highs’ that result from the simple process of staying attuned to our purpose and taking exceptional care of ourselves.

Many people are blocked from this elevated state because they choose to partake in beliefs and actions that simply do not align with the expansivenes of well being that life purpose creates. Life takes on a whole new level of richness and texture when we can actually transcend our normal discursive minds and habitual modes of action. This is accessible to us all of the time, but we must choose to identify with our purpose-based Self as opposed to our small self. My book, The Purpose Principle, is largely about how to do this.

In my experience, there are many ways to heighten our awareness. I will preface this by saying that each of these methods may not create an immediate sense of elation or well-being; in fact, they can make you feel somewhat worse at first because they are cleansing your physical body as well as your doors of perception. With continued practice, however, each of these methods can help keep you aligned with your purpose and avoid the greatest enemy of all, stagnation.

1. Meditation:- Creates a state of heightened awareness through deeper breathing and the conscious relaxation of all areas of the body.

2. Exercise:- Even today as I was running, I was hit by an almost euphoric feeling of stillness and flow, albeit just for a few moments. Regular cardiovascular exercise and/or yoga is an excellent way to stay purposeful, as long as it is not addictive.

3. Acupuncture:- Acupuncture has a way of taking people out of linear time. It is very common that a patient will describe the feeling of only laying on the table for 5 minutes, when in actuality is has been 45 minutes. Regular acupuncture treamtent is an excellent way to stay more attuned to your body and to keep your mind more clear. It heightens energy, reduces stress, and induces a general feeling of wellness.Now, remember that the goal here is not to become attached to any sort of elevated awareness. Yes, it is very helpful to keep expanding the edges of your intellect, intuition, and physical body, but just be mindful of the tendency to get attached to any of this.
