Meditation is any method that gives us an experience of the para nature; when the ego dissolves and there is transformation and the consciousness is lifted.
1. Energy usually stabalizes in the lower chankras, but it is brought upwards through self-observation when the para nature is turned on. This results in a more positive elastic nature, better concentration, and emotional stability.
2. Types of meditation include:
a) Raja yoga –uses wisdom oriented techniques and is concentrated in the 3rd chakra or mental
body. (exp. Buddism is one type of Raja yoga)
b) Bahkti yoga –is heart oriented and connected with the 4th chakra of psychic awakening
c) Karma yoga –is action oriented
d) Sankia (Giana) yoga – works with the higher chakras and concentrates on the divine within
us. Listen and feel the peace inside, follow the inner guru and enlightenment happens.
Respect the divine within and in everybody else. (exp. Sri Aurobindo)
3. Meditation is prevented by too many toxins in the body. We must first purify the lower chakras.
a) 1st chakra purification – asanas and eliminating bad physical habits
b) 2nd chakra purification – pranayama and bandhas
c) 3rd chakra purification – mantra creates vibrations and energy can rise up
d) 4th chakra purification – devotion, prayer, and right intentions
4. Observation. Think on a different level. When in a difficult situation stop and observe before
you blindly react. This gives you time to switch into the para body and immediately transforms
negative energy into positive wisdom. Normally we react to outside influences in a state of
unconsciousness, but with self awareness we are able to jump to a higher consciousness.
5. Dharana – concentration is the first step of meditation.
By purifying the mental body with mantras decision making becomes clearer and observation
powers are awakened. When there is a higher frequency of vibration concentration is easier.
6. Dyana – is the 2nd step of meditation. Involves observation and awareness of the 4 bodies.
a) physical body – relaxing the muscles, spine straight, feeling the energy flow
b) prana body – watching the breath, balanced emotions, surrendering desires
c) mental body – watch the thinker or the true self, stay in the present, and surrender the ego
d) psychic body – look what is in your heart and allow unconditional love to enter
7. Ask yourself: What is your purpose here? Who is your true self?
8. Samadhi state is our goal – dynamic meditation throughout life, constant awareness.
(exp. Walking meditation)
9. Internal Law
a) let go of the ego in order to learn, be open and innocent like a child
b) thinking you already know everything is a big block, ‘deadness’ and mental body blockage
c) strive to be an endless learner, open to new dimensions
d) the inner journey never ends is the right yogic attitude
e) good within attracts good without, the same for bad
f) the true you is awakened when you switch off the ego
