Meditation: A Journey to the Self and How to Start Meditating

The Power of Meditation: A Journey to the Self

Meditation is an essential practice for those seeking deeper understanding, healing, and transformation. It offers a path to calm the mind, enhance focus, observe oneself, and heal both physically and emotionally. It raises awareness and frequency, opens the channel to receive guidance, and infuses more life energy into your being. Above all, meditation is a journey to the self, one that can answer the profound questions of existence: Who am I? and What am I doing here?

The Importance of Meditation

Meditation holds a unique power. It teaches you to be consistent and to let go of all thoughts—even the thought of seeking answers itself. It invites you to be completely aware and to surrender, letting go of resistance. As you read this blog, allow yourself to practice this awareness and surrender, fully immersing yourself in the present moment.

Preparing for Meditation

Before embarking on the journey of meditation, it is crucial to approach it with honesty and an open mind. Detach yourself from any beliefs you have previously held. As we come into this reality, we are like blank slates, dependent on others to teach us everything—from basic survival to complex concepts like religion and science. However, these teachings are often based on belief rather than knowledge. There is a significant difference between believing and knowing.

To begin meditation, embrace the innocence of a child. Let go of all preconceived notions, no matter how challenging it may feel. Start fresh, like a new white page, and allow meditation to reveal truths directly to you.

The Stages of Meditation

Stage 1: Stilling the Mind

Begin by focusing on relaxing and quieting your mind. Drop every thought and immerse yourself in light. Avoid analyzing or judging anything. When a thought intrudes, gently release it and return to a calm state. This practice leads to the first stage—relaxation and total surrender.

Stage 2: Observing the Breath

Once you relaxed, move to observing your breath. Witness it naturally, without forcing or controlling it. Observe the rhythm of your normal breathing. If distractions arise, cut them off and return to your breath. With regular practice, thoughts will decrease in intensity, and your breath will become thinner and lighter, guiding you to a meditative state or no thought state.

Stage 3: Receiving Energy

In the meditative state, cosmic energy begins to flow through you, entering your energy body. This energy heals and revitalizes you. It moves through your energy channels, It functions like your nervous system, but it serves as the fundamental source and foundation of your existence. Many wonder how the body operates so effortlessly and autonomously without external intervention. The answer lies in cosmic energy. We absorb this energy through sleep and deep breathing. All forms of illness result from a lack of energy in specific parts of the body, often depleted by persistent negative thoughts. Meditation halts these thoughts, allowing the energy to cleanse your body, ultimately freeing you from physical and mental illness. You might experience sensations like itching or pain in certain areas, signaling the healing process.

Stage 4: Awakening and Expanding Awareness

With continued practice, your energy body strengthens, and your chakras align. You may begin to experience:

• Visualizations of colors or light.

• Hearing subtle sounds.

• A deeper sense of oneness with the universe.

• Receiving messages or insights.

These experiences transform your understanding of reality, shifting your perceptions and beliefs. You will feel merged with the universe, gaining answers to questions and discovering a profound sense of unity.

Stage 5: Exploring New Realms

With sufficient energy, advanced meditation practices can lead to tools like astral projection. You might feel your astral body floating, detached from your physical body. This sensation affirms that you are not your body or mind but pure energy and consciousness. Through these experiences, you will:

• Explore multiple dimensions of existence beyond the physical.

• Gain knowledge and understanding of eternal truths.

• Realize the absence of death and embrace your eternal nature.

The Transformative Power of Meditation

Through consistent meditation, you become a new person. Your actions, beliefs, and understanding evolve. You perceive life and this physical dimension with a whole new perspective. Meditation helps you realize that you are an eternal being, free of fear, and deeply connected to the infinite energy of the universe. Embrace the practice, and let it guide you to your truest self.
