Meditation

Meditation is a foray into the relationship you have with your mind and your breath. Think about these two aspects of your self. Your breath gives you “life”. Your mind gives you a tool to use to navigate your “life”.

How does meditation affect your breath and your mind? Meditation is simply the best way to help your energy come into better balance, harmony and flow. This is the underlying value of meditation.

We are energy. Our life is an expression of our energy. How balanced, flowing and co-ordinated our energies are impacts our “expression” which becomes apparent in How we do, and How we are in the world.

Meditation 1: Getting Out of Your Own Way

You will discover that your breathing will mirror your psychology and we can turn the tables and affect our psychology with our breath. By allowing our breathing to relax and deepen we can relax and deepen our thoughts and feelings because these three aspects of us are forever linked: emotions, body and mind.

Meditation 2: Learn to Meditate / Find Your Observer Self

Observing 4 breaths for a period of time is a good fundamental exercise and a way to “learn to meditate”. This week’s meditation focuses on getting to the Observer within you and relaxing your Physical Body. Understand this: energetically the Observer connects directly to the energy of your Soul. While you are resting in the Observer your “being” is at a different vibrational level than your body, emotions and rational concrete thinking.

Meditation 3: The Energy of Your Feelings

Understand why ♥ Chakra energy is “prime real estate” energetically. Do you want to create a sacred space where your Soul begins to speak to you? Letting go of expectations can be hard. What about our feelings? This week’s meditation works with the energy of your emotional body.

Meditation 4: The Energy of Your Thoughts 

Recap: Your Breath = Your Life. The Observer is a part of you that connects to your Soul or Higher Self energy. The Observer is a neutral, non-judgmental, safe place governed by the Heart Centre. Resting in the Observer allows you protection and clarity and assists you in the letting go process of “change”. So, looking at thoughts from here helps free up your mental energy and gives an opportunity to know your self better.

Meditation 5: Personality Integration with Breath

When you rest in the energy of the Observer part of you, in the Heart Centre, connecting to your Soul, more of you can be present “in the moment”. This brings you to the place of real choice where you can exercise your spiritual Will. Here you are your most integrated, and therefore powerful energetically. This is when your physical, emotional and mental bodies are most aligned. This is what Personality Integration is about.

Meditation 6: Just “Be” with your Breath

Meditation is an opportunity to just “be”. In meditation, as the Observer, you are beyond your body, your feelings, your concrete thoughts, yet still connected and present to them. In essence you are also beyond your many unconscious interference patterns. To name one pattern lets pick “being busy”.

Meditation 7: Meditation – A Loving and Gentle Discipline

When we pause to Breathe and Allow our consciousness to rest in the Observer aspect of ourselves we identify with the energetic aspect of us that is more than both our thoughts and our feelings. Meditation thus becomes a loving and gentle way to be with our thoughts and our feelings. It is this energy of unconditional love and acceptance, found in the Observer, that brings about the deeper understanding and transformation of our thoughts and feelings.

Meditation 8: Letting Go – the hardest thing

Letting go can be for many the hardest thing. Why? We identify with our thoughts and feelings and our bodies, so it’s a big deal to fundamentally alter your beliefs about something or someone or change your body.

Meditation is all about letting go and opening to love, movement, balance and change. It helps to acknowledge resistance, bring it into the open, and meditate anyway. Thus we learn to trust the process.

Meditation 9: The Higher and the Lower Meet in Meditation

When we pause to Breathe and Allow our consciousness to rest in the Observer aspect of ourselves we identify with the energetic aspect of us that is more than both our thoughts and our feelings. Meditation thus becomes a loving and gentle way to BE with our thoughts and our feelings. It is this energy of unconditional love and acceptance, found in the Observer, that brings about the deeper understanding and transformation of our thoughts and feelings.

Meditation 10: Let Your Light Grow

You are a point of light – a divine spark of the light Divine. Your Personality doesn’t really know or care about this aspect of you however. So your challenge is to create in meditation a link to your Higher Self (or Soul’s) energy so that your light can grow.

Meditation 11: Meditation is for Healing

If healing happens naturally within us how can we help? Meditation helps with healing because it calms the energies of the Personality (physical, emotional, and lower mental) and at the same time meditation gets us out of the way by placing our consciousness above the diaphragm in the Observer Point, in the area of the Soul’s energy.

We are programmed to come back into balance or homeostasis and when you sit quietly and just breathe, much is happening because you are out of the way. In meditation we can also help energy flow with our heart centered focus. This helps set the stage for healing to happen.

Meditation 12: Where the Voices Come From

As we learn to meditate there is the challenge of developing a sense of who is speaking. Does the voice or message you hear come from your lower mind and your Personality or your higher mind and your Soul? Here are some things to keep in mind.

Meditation 13: Meditation is Easy…Life is Work

There is a deep need in you to let go and trust your self and discover who you are beyond your body, your thoughts and your feelings. You are more than you ever imagined your self to be. Breathe out any resistance to just being present to your breath and your Being.

Meditation 14: Google Yourself… Meditate for Updates

We live in an age of information don’t we? We have so much information coming and going sometimes its hard to remember we also have bodies and feelings. In meditation the information you receive can be helpful in understanding many things because it comes from the intuitive, imaginative, creative and inspired part of our mind. Sometimes it sheds light on the whys and wherefores of our own life process as well.
