  1. Concentration meditation (Activate your healing abilities)

    17/09/2010 by Admin

    This is a very simplified version of the Middle Pillar exercise. Some people even claim that it was a form of this technique Grigori Rasputin used, which again awakened his healing abilities. Obviously, this is something i can not confirm. But what is certain is that this technique will make you feel much more energetic and ready to tackle another eventful fantastic day in your life.  Anyway this is a powerful meditation that over time can activate your energy centers “Chakras”, and who knows, you might end up as a healer over time. My recommendation is to try this technique for a months time and see if you experience any positive effects of this exercise.

    1.

    First, start sitting with a straight back and a meditation that makes you feel relaxed and ready to begin this exercise. I recommend a light meditation, Following your breath.

    2.

    When you are ready, move your concentration from the breath down to the root Chakra.Visualize that you breathe in and out through your root chakra. Continue this until you feel the energy has built up in the root Chakra. There are many different experiences of this, some of the best known are: Tingling sensation, warmth, cold, rotation, etc.

    3.

    Continue to visualize this energy flowing up the back of your body, along your spine to the top of your head, and then down again on the front side of your body, down to the root chakra again. This means that energy flows through your most important and biggest seven energy centers in your body; Root Chakra, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and finally the crown chakra.


    4.

    Now the trick is being able to visualize this energy flowing up the back of your body, and at the same time feeling this flow of energy  flowing down the front of your body. Visualize this as a continuous circle of energy, light or whatever you choose to see this energy as. It is quite possible that you need some training to master this, especially if you’re not used to using visualization.


    This is all you need to do, do it every day for 30 minutes or more for about a month to see if you get some positive side effects of this amazing technique. Feel free to send me any feedback about how you experience this exercise.

    Good Luck.


  2. How to meditate

    06/09/2010 by Admin

    There are many ways to learn how to meditate. The essential part for you, is to choose a meditation that suits you. The point of it all is really simple; “Become the observer”.

    Many people seam to romanticize about meditation, and create very long advanced techniques, and even visualizations of them selves inn a another place etc. Meditation is not intended for escaping reality, but becoming one with the now, our true nature. Be here now! as Eckhart Tolle says. Inn our daily life we get to centered in our thoughts and worry`s, which tend to create a lot of stress and anger for many of us. To meditate is to remember your true nature, everyone can do this, cause every living being is present here and now, we just forget to treasure it. We get caught / identified with our minds totally. In meditation we want to nourish the state of being, just being, without judging what appears here and now when we sit in meditation. With practice we can bring this into our daily life.

    The point i want to make, is that meditation is not something advanced that only a guru can do, but something everyone can practice. The only practice we need, is to learn how to detach from our thoughts / identification with mind, and learn how to just be still and watch what is happening, inn this present moment.

    The easiest of all meditations is probably to find yourself a comfortable position to sit, with a straight back, or even meditate laying down (“without falling asleep”). Relax and settle into your chosen position, and when you feel comfortable just start following your breath. If your mind starts to wander, remind yourself to go back to just following your breath. Don`t tray to control the breath, just follow it.. This meditation-practice is old of age and creates a deep relaxing meditation. (You won’t need more meditation ;-) ) As Eckhart Tolle says; The ego is the one that wants more. You can learn about Eckhart Tolle`s philosophy by reading he`s books; “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment“,      ”Stillness Speaks“,     ”A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose (Oprah’s Book Club, Selection 61)“.

    Tip!
    If you feel tension in some parts of your body, just bring your focus “attention” to that part of your body, and relax it. Move on to the next spot you feel tension inn, relax it and so on. If you feel no other tensions, just go back to following you breath.
    Many people begin with relaxing the body in this manor. You can start with your feet, focus on your feet and send positive/energy to that spot until you feel relaxed in that area, then move on to your legs and so on and all the way to the top of your head. This process should leave you in a very relaxed state of being.

    This exorcise can actually be practiced as a meditation in itself, and may be all you need to feel refreshed, energized & more relaxed to continue your day in a happier and more centered state of being.
