Meditation Molds Your Future

You are what you meditate on all day long. The late Dr. David Seabury, who specialized in Quimby’s techniques, told me that while he was practicing in New York City, a man had asked him to come and see his wife, who was paralyzed due to an emotional shock. Dr. Seabury called it psychological paralysis. He gave her a technique to practice. She was to vividly imagine herself doing all the things she would do were she whole and perfect, such as driving her car, riding a horse, golfing and working around the house.
 

She practiced this for about 15 or 20 minutes four or five times a day, regularly and systematically. He explained to her that any image she held in her mind, backed by faith and enthusiasm, would come to pass and be objectified. At the end of a month, he arranged with the nurses to absent themselves temporarily at a time arranged by him, simultaneously informing the woman that her son would call from India at that house. (All this had been arranged with the son before.)
 

At exactly 12:00 noon, the phone rang and kept on ringing, she knowing it was her son. The phone had been purposely placed out of her reach. She got up and walked to the phone and has continued walking for many years afterwards.
 

She had been very busy for a month focusing her attention on walking, riding, etc. She had expended as vast amount of mental and spiritual energy towards a specific goal of walking again. Her mental image was energized by faith and confidence in the Power within her. She had been truly meditating. The, when she heard the phone ring, knowing her son was to call at that hour, the longing to hear his voice seized her mind and activated the Spirit within and she experienced the results of her meditation. Her thought-image was the mediator between the invisible world of Spirit (God) and its physical manifestation of walking.
