Meditation

[Guest guest]

Meditation is an essential practice. One must learn to still and

quiet the mind. Start by sitting in a chair, positioning towards the

edge of the chair with your spine straight head slightly looking up.

If your sitting on the floor keep your spine straight and your head

slightly tilted up. Close your eyes and place your eyes in the

position of looking at the brow of points. This is located just

above the bridge of the nose. It will seem uncomfortable at first

but this will subside with practice.

 

Place your fingers in the Kundalini mudra- thumb tip and forefinger

tip together the remaining fingers spread out not touching each

other, now breath through your nose. Normal breathing at first then

deepening the breath until your entire belly and chest are expanding

on the inhalation and deflating upon exhalation like a baby. This is

called infant breathing and it is very effective in helping you to

achieve a meditative state. Silently and to yourself say the words "

I am still and I am one with God " Say it as you breath in and as you

breath out. Or the equivalent that you feel comfortable with. Over

and over.

 

As your thoughts go by let them go by. Try not to go into a lot of

effort, as that is as distracting as anything else. Soon you will

feel your self slipping into a kind of reverie. Allow your self to

just stay and be. After a time, gently disengage from your

meditation and come back into normal space and time.

 

This is a beginning meditation and will do many of the same things

the more advanced forms will do. -
