There are several methods of deep meditation . Here’s the one that always has worked well to start a new spiritual journey:
1. Set aside time in a quiet place, where you will not be disturbed. Place your journal and a pen/pencil close at hand. When you first begin meditating, you may prefer a dimly lit room, using a candle to maintain focus. Some people picture a bright star in their minds, but this is a bit more difficult to hold constant.
2. You may wish to add music to “jump start” your meditation in order to increase your connection to the universe and control your thoughts. With practice, train your mind to continue meditating at the higher level, after the music stops. You even may prefer to use one piece of music (with or without words) that immediately connects you to the universe at the level of your soul and spirit. You’ll know if this happens, because it will bring tears to your eyes and a swelling in your chest; yet once you connect to your source, you are awash with a feeling of happiness and peace like you’ve never before felt.
3. Set comfortably but staying alert in a comfortable chair or on a pillow on the floor. You may lie in bed in the morning after waking or at night before sleeping; but it’s very easy to fall asleep.
4. Focus on the candle flame, empty your mind, and still your body. At first, you will find your mind taking control and wondering all over the place. This is normal. When you realize that your mind is wondering out of control, just refocus on the candle flame and empty your mind again. It takes practice over time to be able to keep your mind blank for any length of time. Focus until lose awareness of your physical body.
5. Once you are able to focus, there are a few choices of what to do next:
a. Be still and let God. Just allow the universe to merge with you, letting you feel its presence. You may do an entire meditation like this, if you wish.
b. Use a mantra, especially helpful at first. It keeps your attention on your source, controlling your wandering thoughts. Some individuals and religions believe a mantra connects with evil or pagan spirits, but this is not true.
c. Conversing with the universe within your mind is another choice. Don’t ask for things or pass along information at this point. The universe already knows what you needs and desires are and that of everyone else in the world. This is the time for you to hand over your problems and concerns to the universe, then make an affirmation statement. For example:
Problem: “I am concerned about meeting my financial responsibilities”.
Affirmation: “I know my needs are already provided by you, and I am not concerned.”
d. Then, be still in the silence and listen for the response. As to the type of response you receive, this will depend upon your proficiency in meditation. You may hear a voice (thoughts that aren’t your own) in your mind that speaks to you, or you may see pictures/video (visions) in your mind.
Once you have this first awareness that the universe is responding to you, you’ll begin to get many more pictures (visions). So, pay attention to what you “see” within your mind during your meditation. Sometimes, the visions move so fast and there are so many that you can’t remember them all after the meditation, but let them flow. Once you begin trying to remember, you engage your brain and the visions stop. Just pay close attention to what you “see”.
e. Be sure to thank your source, not only for this time/response but also for all it provides to you. After completing the meditation is over, immediately record any experiences you had in your journal. Don’t worry if you feel that you didn’t have a “good” meditation — there is no such thing as a bad one. Something is accomplished at all meditations, whether you are aware of it or not. Just keep at it and observe all the mental pictures and “chatter”; then, record everything you remember in your journal. Eventually, you’ll see responses and/or patterns emerge. This is the start of your spiritual awakening.
Keep your experiences to yourself, especially in the beginning. Otherwise, you may find yourself having to explain and defend ideas and insights you were given. Then, the ego has entered and manifesting (the universe-driven process) stops.
