Healer Chamuel Bachiller says that all pain and sickness comes from an unbalanced soul. 

“Everyone, in their body, can naturally heal themselves, “he says. “It’s just there’s blockages … whether it’s spiritual, emotional, mental. If you learn how to remove those blockages, then healing naturally takes place.”

Living the Meditation

by The Healing Sanctuary on November 1, 2010

Article by Chamuel Bachiller

Meditation is an integral element for the student of metaphysics and esoteric wisdom. Through meditation, one is able to realize ones True Identity and thus bridge this access to the Infinite Presence. Through understanding the True Self, the perception of oneself is now One with Creation. The Angelic Hierarchy and life spanning throughout all dimensions are essentially extensions of our identity. Humans are the cells of the living organism we call Earth.  From a higher perspective, the stars and planets are but cells of the great being we call the Universe. The infinitely creating universes are extensions from the Cosmos and Supreme Creator.  As above, so below. We contain that very essence of the Creation within our body to create the lives that we live today.

Even with all the metaphysical wisdom, it is practically useless if not put to action to master the essential basics. While there are many people that meditate several times a day, meditation in a pure sense is maintaining the contact with the Source, which leads to increased understanding and empowerment. It is easy to pray and meditate for an hour, but if the remaining hours of the day contradict this, progress may appear minimal. One of the greatest blockages of growth is the self-image one has. It must be aligned with the Truth and Creator and not one that the lower mind may accept of oneself.

Meditation takes practice to master, and eventually one is Living the Meditation throughout all daily activities. Separation is an illusion, and through meditation one may see beyond the smoke and mirrors. One must realize that there is no separation from meditation and living life, as there is no separation from one human to another. All that exists are but varying energies of the One Energy. By Living the Meditation, the result is prosperity, abundance, health, and overall happiness in all aspects of life. The Creative Energy, which we are, works through us to make it so.
