May You Be Free of Sickness

A visit to the hospital or clinic always brings us face to face with the kind of suffering there is in this world. Nobody is spared. Not us. Not the others. Not even the babies. Not even the animals.

Om Bekhandze Bekhandze Maha Bekhandze 

Bekhandze Randza Samudgate Svaha

The Medicine Buddha Mantra calls to the Medicine Buddha to eliminate the pain of illness and suffering.  The mantra is repeated several times with increasing intensity imploring the Medicine Buddha to hear and relieve the depth of suffering. It then hails the enlightenment of the Medicine Buddha and offers profound respect as the prayer is relinquished to the Medicine Buddha.

OM    (this is not a “word” but the intonation of the sacred vibration of the universe)

Bekhandze      O Healer   (of suffering)

Bekhandze      O Healer   (of the true cause of suffering)

Maha bekhandzeO Great Healer   (of subtle defilements that cause suffering) 

Bekhandze Randza    O King of Healing

Samudgateperfectly liberated auspicious being

Svaha   I offer this prayer and now relinquish it … (to you Medicine Buddha)”

This is one English version of the meaning and intent of the Mantra:

May the sentient beings that suffer across  space and time

May their illness and the causes of illness be quickly removed. 

And may this illness of body, speech and mind forever be gone.

 

Why Learn Meditation

Ever so often I read the cards of people who are overwhelmed by the stresses in their life. They may be going through a divorce. Or have suddenly been retrenched. Or are juggling way too many things in their life at once. The cards answer their questions but as a reader, I always recommend learning meditation as a tool for handling stress for the rest of their life.

Meditation allows us to release worries one by one with breath work. It allows our minds to reach a silent space of stillness where we can view our lives as an observer and not get swept by the storms around us. It brings us clarity and peace, even if it’s for a few minutes. And it gives us the strength to face whatever life throws our way.

And that’s only the mental benefits. When we reach a state of mental wellbeing our body cells and emotions respond with a certain lightness, radiance and energy. Almost like being renewed everytime we open our eyes after meditation.

If I were to summarise why meditation should be learnt it would because meditation is the only positive practice which brings us in touch with the beauty we possess inside by letting go of the unecessary and the unwanted.

When the butterfly appears in your meditation expect change. Some of it will happen naturally for you. Some will be conscious changes you make in your life. Old habits and atitudes you need to let go of. Priorities you need to relook. Things no one can do for you but yourself to lighten yourself on your path.

To see a macaw in your meditation means its time to revel in your magnificence as a soul. Be yourself. No matter what they say. You are unique, powerful and perfect just as you are. You don’t care to compare. You are you. And they are they. Your colours will always be true because you have nothing to hide.

One of the easiest ways to feel miserable about ourselves is by replaying the past. Not only do we limit ourselves from enjoying the present moment, we end up holding onto something that no longer exists or is relevant today.

Change is constant. And with it we must adapt or fall. Yet so many of us still cling to the past or live in worry about the future. Very natural, very human but truly a waste of energy. We do not heal the past by living in it, we heal the past by living in the present.

By practising mindfulness and being a little more aware of our thought patterns we can learn that present moment is where life begins.

Meditation Symbols. The Falls

To see a waterfall or the Niagara Falls in particular during meditation means you are coming one level closer to you. As you go inwards you learn to befriend your essential self. Waterfalls a symbolise the letting go of a layer of emotion or conditioning that’s been holding you back. Sometimes the meditation is followed by an emotional release. When you let go of the pain, you learn to live again.

To see a cliff during meditation overlooking the trees and mountains reveals you have reached a deeper level of awareness and understanding. Certain life lessons have been learnt and you are now able to look at everything and choose your next step. Don’t underestimate your abilities.

“I said I love you and that’s forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are” Billy Joel 1977


To receive a pearl during meditation is to receive divine love at its purest. Nothing more, nothing less. You are simply appreciated for who you are and what you do. Divinity loves us more than we can ever imagine.
