“When there is no enemy within, no enemy from outside can do you no harm.” ~ African Proverb
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health compiled a list of the widely circulated benefits of meditation and it’s impact on depression, anxiety, stress, high blood pressure, pain, insomnia, substance use, PTSD, CPTSD, ADHD, eating behaviors, and even cancer. If you are in search of a method of meditation that will resonate with you, you can also find information on Japanese techniques, Indian techniques and science backed ones as well. If none of those have worked, or you are ready for exploring more, I think you will enjoy these 2African meditation practices. Ning and Ngoma.
Ning Meditation
In the harmonious tapestry of meditation practices from around the world, African traditions offer a unique and profound resonance. As you explore these two African meditation paths — Ning and Ngoma — you embark on a journey to unlock the latent wisdom within your soul. With Ning Meditation, you become a traveler on an ancient path, where the elements themselves guide you towards balance and enlightenment. It’s a practice that ignites the spark of creativity, helping you unearth your true talents, ignite innovative ideas, and dispel the shadows of negativity. The Nature meditation, in particular, invites your inner self to dance with imagination, to discern the perfect moment for action, patience, or serenity, infusing joy into your creative pursuits. Guided meditations for each area are accessible online on platforms like Spotify. A journey with Ning meditation can help with identifying your talent beyond family conditioning and culture, bring up project ideas or incinerate negative obstacles of thought or energetically. Nature meditation is my favorite. It enables you to get in touch with your imaginative inner self with a practice of identifying when it is time to act, or wait, or enjoy serenity. This has brought much joy to my creative projects and endeavors.
