Yes, you read that right.  The title of this post was a headline in my local community newspaper recently.  The article itself was about cold medications, but the head of the person doing the page layout was somewhere else. 

Or maybe not.  Because a lot of the advice in the column, which was indeed about medication, still applies to meditating.  Meditation is a powerful tool in amplifying possibility into reality.  If you're stuck on your way to your goals, feeling like you've got a virus in your belief system, you might try some of the following suggestions from the column (with a dose of my editing):

•  Treat individual symptoms with single-ingredient meditations. Narrow, focused meditations are often better than the "one-med-fits-all" approach.  The doses in a combo meditation may be too potent for mild symptoms, or not strong enough for severe symptoms.  With focus, you can better control the dosage.

•  Choose the right meditation for the right symptom.  Are you trying to energize yourself, or shift gears?  Do you need healing, or calming?  Are you afraid, or pissed off? Understanding the root cause of your symptoms will help you to better focus your meditation. 

•  Go ahead and use more than one meditation if you're experiencing more than one symptom.  Luckily for us, there aren't a lot of side effects to doing multiple meditations.  Just be sure that your meditation doses don't get so large that they begin to interfere with your ability to act.

•  Check with an expert if you have questions.  It's okay to not know what ails you.  Seek the advice of someone you trust if you need help sorting out your thinking.

And remember, some meditations may cause drowsiness, but a little nap might be just the thing your brain needs to make sense of it all.

Wishing you every possibility!
