About MEDITATION

Meditation

Meditation is a process of quieting your mind and expanding your awareness. It’s an act of self-discovery and self-love. When we meditate, we get in touch with the deepest part of ourselves. Meditation is a process of silencing our thoughts. When we silence our thoughts, we open space to discover the infinite intelligence that lies underneath the layer of chatter that constantly runs in the background of our minds. This infinite intelligence is in all of us.

It is a practice that is transformational, essential, and revolutionary.

When we sit in meditation, we slow down, relax, separate ourselves from our thoughts and become conscious of our true being. The more we meditate, the more we train our mind and become much more aware. This growing awareness is valuable in all areas of our lives, career, relationships, sports, healing, self-discovery, and more.

Through meditation we learn that we’re more than our thoughts and senses. Silencing the mind enables us to get in touch with what lies underneath and to discover new parts of our being. Our minds are constantly running with no pause button- most people in the world are unaware that they are separate from their mind. We walk around our daily lives constantly reacting to our environment. Meditation helps us slow down. It helps us become more happy, productive, conscious, and strong.

There are thousands of ways to meditate. When you get really good, you can meditate when doing the most mundane tasks like washing the dishes or doing the laundry. I will share with you. 

There are many ways to meditate. The practice I’m apart of focuses on chakra meditation, raising kundalini. Other ways to meditate include using a mantra (such as Aum), a yantra (a visual meditation tool) or other ways of visually focusing one’s attention on an object such a flame or flower, to name a few. Ultimately, whatever meditation technique works to stop thought is the best way to meditate. What works best for you may change from time to time, so it’s helpful to know more than one way to mediate.

“Meditation is a process of expanding your awareness.When you meditate, you get in touch with the deepest part of yourself. You know from your own point of view what’s right, what’s wrong, what you should do and shouldn’t in any situation. Meditation makes you tough, makes you strong, conscious, happy, and eventually, enlightened. Meditation is a process of silencing your thoughts.” Dr. Frederick Lenz, Rama 

The best way to get into a groove is to set up a schedule for yourself and try your best to be consistent. Meditate twice a day if you can, but once a day is good to start. Meditating at night will help clear away the thoughts, impressions, stress, or other negative energy you pick up during the day and help you sleep better. Meditating in the morning is also wonderful because we pick up a lot of energy in our dreams- clearing this away first thing in the morning and starting you day off with by generating balanced energy will set your day up for more power and clarity. For morning meditations, try not to use your phone or computer beforehand. If you’d like, make yourself some tea or coffee but try to have as minimal distractions as possible. It’s best to meditate as soon as you wake up because you will have a calmer mind and will lend to a stronger meditation. You’ll also want to take a shower or at least wash your face- both of these will help clear away energy that you pick up from dreaming and also wake you up. Meditating in the morning helps you pick up a lot of energy, focus and awareness that will set your day up powerfully. It brightens your subtle physical body  which helps give you clarity, focus, and helps buffer off negative energy. Your mind is more clear and receptive in the morning, and sets you up for having a very sharp and aware state of consciousness. Meditating at sunset is wonderful- there is a dimensional shift between the day and night and as you become more sensitive you will begin to clearly feel this. Any time at night is great though.

There are many styles of meditation. The one explained in this site is focused on 3 main energy points, or chakras. We move our awareness from the lower chakras up to the higher chakras throughout the meditation to raise our kundalini. In the beginning you may not feel these or be able to focus your awareness, that’s okay. It helps to physically hold a finger on these locations until you build up your sensitivity and focus. Physically touching the spot will bring awareness to the location and where awareness goes, energy flows.
