Do you have a favorite technique or preparation? It would be great to compare and see what we can learn. My personal favorite technique, so far, is what is called the meditation on the neutral zone. I have seen it described under different names in several different texts. I have modified it slightly from the original technique. At the end of a good session, I feel completely relaxed, to the point that, even though I ...

This 'head covering', which is now no more than a mere tradition, was originally of vital importance, thus the origin of which should be correctly understood. The ‘Tabernacle’ (Hebrew: miskan = dwelling place [of God]) and 'Tent of Meeting' [i.e. with God] (Hebrew: ohel) are ...

What worth is experience without comparing it to other experiences. I can see learning to control your mind, but as your standing in a nice summer breeze experiencing it later to forget it because you didn't think about it what worth is it? While standing there wouldn't it be good and natural to compare it to the breeze from yesterday? How can one even say this is a nice warm breeze without thinking ...

Some say that going into the countryside or sitting on top of a mountain and tuning into nature is a form of meditation. Others might say that concentrating on a candle flame or some other peaceful object is meditation. Yet others might listen to soft soothing music. So many different methods, which can each and all bring a certain amount of 'peace of mind', relaxation, and a feeling of well being. No doubt about it! But I would ...

Is there any chance this could have been purely an inward temptation rather than an outward temptation? A meditatative experience? The reason I ask is because the three pinnacles made me think of the conscious, the sub conscious, and the higher mind. Each temptation reaching a little higher into the mind. Also the use of the words peirazo and peirasmos. When used as a verb is it true that they usually signify an inward experience ...

It shines day and night, eternally. But, just like an unattended electric light bulb in a dusty and dirty environment, which has been left for so many years without being cleaned, the light just cannot penetrate through the layers of dirt. Our mind contains the layers of dirt and illusion which hide or 'veil' the Light within us. Long ago, engineers came up with a solution for cleaning rally-car ...

I have always been super at visualization and stuff, was good at it when I was a witch, but now I am trying to learn how to meditate and NOT think, not even about not thinking. The hardest thing about meditating for me is there is ALWAYS some thought goin on in there, and when I try to 'not think', I find I am THINKING about not thinking, so I am really still thinking, or my mind is wandering.

I question why it is there, what is it/what is it's nature? Is it ego based? Is it trying to steal energy from my centres? One can gain a very profound understanding about who they are when they properly comprehend these questions and take steps towards dealing with them. Try it and let me know if it works good for you or not.
