Hello, I am putting up a meditation for you guys all to try out. Please give some opinions about it here in this topic.
The Basic Theory of Meditation
Try to rid your mind of all thought, to make it perfectly quiet. Unless meditation has already been practiced and mastered, it is inevitable that a little voice will run through your head. This voice will be saying things like, “Okay, I’m quiet now”, or “Am I doing this right?” Or even, “How long should I do this?” In true meditation, the goal is to silence the inner voice.
Meditation should be relaxed and comfortable, the same holds true with your posture. The Lotus position is not recommended for the beginner, as it can be quite uncomfortable. Laying flat on your back is also counseled against because you may become so relaxed that you fall asleep. Until you are more skilled, it is suggested that a straight-backed chair be used. It is essential to keep the spine straight to allow energy to flow without anything blocking its path. Another important factor is to keep the eyes lowered to lessen distractions.
The area chosen for meditation is purely individual, however, there is evidence that suggests a period close to the hour of your birth (NOT the day but the hour) is the best. There are definite advantages to being attuned to the influences of your own astrological forces. The most important thing is to be persistent and consistent.
The Method
Keeping the spine straight, allow the head to fall forward on the chest. Breathe deeply in and out 3x. Bring the head back upright
Tip the head backwards. Breathe deeply in and out 3x. Return head uprightTip the head to the left. Breathe deeply in and out 3x. Return head upright.
Tip head to the right. Breathe deeply in and out 3x. Return head upright.
Allow the head to fall forwards and move it in a counter clockwise circle 3x.
Repeat, this time moving head clockwise 3x. Return head back upright.
Using the nose, breathe short intakes until the lungs are full and then exhale through the mouth with a short “Hah” sound. 3x. Hold the left nostril closed and breathe in through the right, filling the lungs. Hold this for a moment and slowly exhale, flatten the stomach as you do. This will expel all of the stale air out of the bottom of your lungs. Do this 3x, and then repeat with the left nostril 3x.
Relax your whole body and feel the flow of energy.
Now focus your attention on the muscles of your body. Command them to relax. Take each section of your body separately and feel the tension flow out of each one. Relax the entire body completely.
Silence your mind.
Let go of the conscious world and allow the cosmic energies of the universe to flow into your subconscious. Do not try to focus on and image or intent, the time for that comes in a different exercise. Just allow the energies to bring in random forces. Try to remain in this state as long as you can.
You will feel yourself slipping back into awareness, as you do, command the sections of your body to re-awaken.
By practicing this on a daily basis, your consciousness will become disciplined. You will soon begin to notice a deepening of intuition. You will also begin to have knowledge of things that you have not known before. This is proof that your meditation is working. Becoming skilled in meditation will prove to be a powerful aid in Ritual, Divination, and in Shamanic work. Remain persistent with meditation and you will discover a higher Nature of Self that has been previously unknown.
