Hi Guys,
I post this thread on the method I use in meditation. When I can get the chance and quiet place to practice in. If your method differs and is more effective just continue doing it your way.
1) Preparation Find yourself a comfortable position, and focus on relaxing your body as much as you are able. Close your eyes. Follow your breath and try to establish a quiet rhythm; in slowly and out slowly. Be still.
2) Reflection & Reception Begin by saying a “word” that summarizes the reason for your meditation (what you want to meditate on)” Reflect deeply on this word for a long moment.
Now feel the light from Source shining down on your crown. Visualize this entering through the top of your head and traveling down to your heart centre - which is located in the centre of your chest at the height of your physical heart. Really, try to feel the light from Source resonating in your heart blossoming and expanding. Feel beautiful blinding light developing forming expanding and filling your whole being in the heart centre. Say the “word” again. Put the "word" in the attics of your mind and continue.
Feel that your heart is opening to infinite light energy of love and power that is entering through your crown and traveling down to this centre. Your heart is opening to the light. Your heart IS the light. Submerge yourself in this feeling. Don’t retract in fear as you feel the energy entering your body.
3) Creative Meditation While holding this feeling of the” word” within the heart, begin to turn your attention outwards to those who you want to help (it of course might be yourself). Let your awareness expand outwards to connect with and encompass all. Feel the energy combined of emanating from your heart and surrounding all those that you want to effect. See within the light compassion and love.
Feel that this wave of living light expand ever outwards into the universe merging with god the infinite. Feel yourself as being a conduit for the light of the Universe that touches all life in creation. Feel yourself becoming submerged in the experience of the light. You are now the light. You are the energy of Source/God. You are god you have become God in your mind. I n this state you are able to view existence with the intellect and mind of God, you become momentarily infinite. “I have only experienced this wonderful state during my nde” ”Continue to be the spark of light within the mind of God”.
Now bring your awareness back to your heart centre. Feel the warmth and the glow there. Fill your whole body with this feeling. Let the energy travel out from the heart and see it resonate within every cell of your body. You are glowing with positive energy.
Now, take this energy from the heart, down through your body, down your legs, and through your feet and visualize it going into the Earth. Feel your connection through your feet with the ground underneath you.
Take your awareness back to your breath. Watch your breath going slowly in and then out for a few moments. When you are ready, you just open your eyes. “This is not a trance state, you are always in control”
How long should the above event take? There is no time limit or constraint just progress each day until you are able to use this state in conjunction with your imagination to view the afterlife realms or even our physical universe.
Imagination why? Well the bible says God created us in his “image”. Image is short for “imagination”. Imagination is the most powerful creative forces in the universe.
Practice makes perfect. Do we all need to get as serious as I indicated above? No! if you are interested practice meditation or go on and develop your own unique approach to opening the doors to the yet unknown marvels of existence and the afterlife.
Love
Alan
