EXPLORE YOURSELF WITH MEDITATION in Self-Healing and Development
'Self' means an insight into the psychological personality of a person. A superior thinking
about our own self broadens our understanding of attitudes and morals between the actual
and idyllic self. This will improve our perspective of analyzing our own self.
Development of self helps an individual to have a deep insight into inner thoughts. This way
he or she can achieve self-realization also. A person when grows with self realization knows
how to perceive the world around him i.e. his thoughts will be clear on how to carry himself in
the world and stand apart. Moreover, self-development enables the person to carry all the ups
and down of life in a reasonable manner. In addition, if a person will rationally deal with his
inner thoughts and actions, he will always have a positive outlook toward life. An entity with
an optimistic attitude toward life grows both mentally and spiritually. Thus, for attaining self-
development, one should always concentrate on the development of mind as well as of soul.
It is essential because with more and clearer thoughts, a person's understanding level
increases and he automatically inclines towards the state of self-realization.
There are several ways for gaining self-development. Out of which, meditation plays a crucial
role in this discovery of self-identity. It is a method, which contributes in the outcome of a
dignified and blissful state of mind. This results from the techniques of self-knowledge and self-
awareness. It helps us to bridge the gap between individualism and universality. It makes a
person selfless and develops spiritually. It makes us think beyond our restricted self.
However, before this there is a need to control this restricted self. Meditation serves three
main purposes – self-regulation, self-liberation, and self-exploration.
Self-regulation is a capacity to asses intentionally what we feel and how it affects the functions
of our mind and body. Awareness of breath, meditation and relaxation are some of the ways
by which this can be achieved. This helps in reducing pain, nervousness and stress levels of
an individual. These techniques come to our aid especially during the situation when we are
under constant worry. It deliberately makes us control this anxiety and helps us relax. For
example, if we have indigestion problems while tackling stressful situations, then these
techniques can be a way out of the problem.
Another aspect is self-liberation. Meditation can assist us in the attainment of elevated
conscious self and recognition of spiritual truths of life. This also gives us support in
discovering our own real self that lies hidden behind various personality layers that we have.
These layers keep on adding with our own experience of life. It also develops our faculty of
intuition by which we may wonder about certain psychological questions like from where we
have come and what lies in store for us in life after death. Thus, it calls for meditating on our
existence as an individual, in relation to society and beyond this world.
Self-exploration is also one of the most important means of self-development. This involves
implication of the meditation techniques of relaxation and concentration. They instruct us ways
by which we should apply our attention in the right direction in a calm manner. These
exercises give strength of character and balanced mind. This makes us analyze our virtues
and vices. It also makes us recognize the potential that lies hidden within us about which we
are completely unaware of.
Along with meditation, techniques of yoga also lend a hand in exploring these potentials from
our unconscious. They make our feelings familiar to us and identifying with them. Awareness
by widening of our horizons through mental exercises confers a strong on our mind and leads
a meaningful life.
