This is the first chakra and it has an integral connection with the physical body. The muladhar chakra has two possibilities. Its first potentiality is a natural one that is given to us with birth; its other possibility is obtainable by meditation. <br />The basic natural possibility is the sex urge of the physical body. The very question that arises in the mind of the seeker is what to do in regard to this central principle. Now there is another possibility of this chakra and that is brahmacharya, conscious mastery of the chakras, which is attainable through meditation. Sex is the natural possibility and brahmacharya is its transformation. The more the mind is focused upon, and gripped by sexual desire, the more difficult it will be to reach its ultimate potential of brahmacharya. <br />Now this means that we can utilize the situation given to us by nature in two ways. We can live in the condition that nature has placed us in - but then the process of spiritual growth cannot begin - or we can transform this state. The only danger in the path of transformation is the possibility that we begin to fight with our natural centre. What is the real danger in the path of the seeker? The first obstacle is that if the meditator indulges in nature's order of things, s/he cannot rise to the ultimate possibility of their physical body and s/he stagnates at the starting point. On the one hand, there is the need; on the other hand, there is suppression which causes the meditator to fight the sex urge. Suppression is an obstacle on the path of meditation. This is the obstacle of the first chakra. Transformation cannot come about if there is suppression. <br />If suppression is an obstruction, what is the solution? <br />Understanding will solve the matter. Transformation takes place within as you begin to understand sex. There is a reason for this. All elements of nature lie blind and unconscious within us. If we become conscious of them, transformation begins. Awareness is the alchemy; awareness is the alchemy of changing them, of transforming them. If a person awakens their sexual desires with all their emotional and intellectual faculties, then brahmacharya will be generated within them in place of sex. Unless a person reaches brahmacharya in their first body, it is difficult to work on the potentiality of other centres. <br /> <br /> <br /><strong>The Second Chakra: Swadhisthana.</strong><br /><br />The second body is the emotional or etheric body. The second body is connected to the second chakra - the swadhishthana chakra. This also has two possibilities. Basically, its natural potential is fear, hate, anger, and violence. If a person stagnates at the second body, then the directly opposite conditions of transformation - love, compassion, fearlessness, friendliness - cannot be created. The obstacles on the meditator's path in the second chakra are hate, anger, and violence, and the question concerns their transformation. <br />Here too, the same mistake is made. One person can give vent to their anger; another can suppress their anger. One can just be fearful; another can suppress their fear and make a show of courage. But neither of these will lead to transformation. When there is fear, it has to be accepted; there is no use hiding or suppressing it. If their is violence within, there is no use in covering it with the mantle of pseudo-gentleness. Shouting pacifist slogans will bring no change in the state of violence within. It remains violence. It is a condition given to us by nature through the second body. It has its uses just as there is meaning to sex. Through sex alone, other physical bodies can be given birth. Before one physical body perishes, nature has made provision for the birth of another. <br />Fear, violence, anger, are all necessary on the second plane; otherwise man could not survive, could not protect himself. Fear protects him, anger impels him to struggle against others, and violence helps him to save himself from the violence of others. All these are qualities of the second body and are necessary for survival, but generally, we stop here and do not go any further. If a person understands the nature of fear, she attains to fearlessness, and if she understands the nature of violence, she attains non-violence - ahimsa. Similarly, by understanding anger, we develop the quality of forgiveness. <br />In fact, anger is one side of the coin, forgiveness is the other. They each hide behind the other - but the coin has to be turned over. If we come to know one side of the coin perfectly, we naturally become curious to know what is on the other side - and so the coin turns. If we hide the coin [repression and suppression] and pretend we have no fear, no violence within, we will never be able to know fearlessness and real non-violence. Those who accept, for example, the presence of fear within themselves and who investigate it fully, will soon reach a plane where they will want to find out what is behind fear. The curiosity will encourage them to seek the other side of the coin - in this example fearlessness. <br />The moment we turn it over, we become fearless. Similarly, violence will turn to compassion. These are potentials of the second body. Thus, the meditator has to bring about a transformation in the qualities given to them by nature. And, for this, it is not necessary to go around asking others; one has to keep seeking and asking within oneself. We all know that anger and fear are impediments - because how can a coward seek truth? They will go begging for truth; they will wish that someone should give it to them without their having to go into unknown lands. <br /> <br /> <strong><br />The Third Chakra: Manipura.</strong><br /><br />The third is the astral body. This also has two dimensions. Primarily, the third body revolves around doubt and thinking. If these are transformed, doubt becomes trust and thinking becomes vivek, awareness. If doubts are repressed, you never attain shraddha, trust, though we are advised to suppress doubts and to believe what we hear. Those who repress their doubts never attain trust because doubt remains present within, though repressed. It will creep within like a cancer and eat up your vitality. Beliefs are implanted for fear of skepticism. We will have to understand the quality of doubt, we will have to live it and go along with it. Then, one day, we will reach a point where we will begin to have doubt about doubt itself. The moment we begin to doubt doubt itself, trust begins. <br />We cannot achieve clarity of discrimination without going through the process of thinking. There are people who do not think and people who encourage them not to think. They say, "Do not think; leave all the thoughts." Those who stop thinking land themselves in ignorance and blind faith. This is not clarity. The power of discrimination is gained only after passing through the most subtle processes of thinking. What is the meaning of vivek, discrimination? Doubt is always present in thoughts. It is always indecisive. Therefore, those who think a great deal never come to a decision. It is only when they step out of the wheel of thoughts that they can decide. Decision comes from a state of clarity which is beyond thoughts. <br />Thoughts have no connection with decision. Those who are always engrossed in thoughts never reach a decision. That is why it invariably happens that those whose life is less dominated by thoughts are very resolute, whereas those who think a great deal lack determination. There is danger in both approaches to life, at their extremities. Those who do not think go ahead and do whatever they are determined to do, for the simple reason that they have no thought process to create doubt within. <br />The dogmatists and the fanatics of the world are very active and energetic people; for them there is no question of doubting - they never think! If they feel that heaven is attained by killing one thousand people, they will rest only after killing one thousand people and not before. They never stop to think what they are doing so there is never any decision on their part. People who think too much, on the contrary, will keep on thinking instead of making any decision. <br />If we close our doors for fear of thoughts, we will be left with blind faith only. This is very dangerous and is a great obstacle in the path of the meditator. What is needed is an open-eyed discretion and thoughts that are clear, resolute, and which allow us to make decisions. This is the meaning of vivek: clarity, awareness. It means that the power of thinking is complete. It means we have passed through thoughts in such detail that all the doubts are cleared. Now only the pure decision is left in its essence. <br />The chakra pertaining to the third body is manipur . Doubt and trust are its two forms. When doubts is transformed, trust is the result. But remember, trust is not opposed or contrary to doubt. Trust is the purest and most ultimate development of it. It is the ultimate extreme of doubt, where even doubt becomes lost because here doubt begins to doubt even itself and it this way extinguishes itself. Then trust is born. <br /> <br /> <strong>The Fourth Chakra: Anahata. </strong><br /><br />The fourth plane is the mental body, or the psyche, and the fourth chakra, the anahat, is connected with the fourth body. The natural qualities of this plane are imagination and dreaming. This is what the mind is always doing: imagining and dreaming. It dreams in the night and, in the daytime, it daydreams. If imagination is fully developed, it becomes determination, will. If dreaming develops fully, it is transformed into vision - psychic vision. If a personÕs ability to dream is fully developed, he has only to close his eyes and he can see things. He can then see even through a wall. At first, he only dreams of seeing beyond the wall; later, he really does see beyond it. Now he can only guess what you are thinking but, after transformation, he sees what you think. Vision means seeing and hearing things without the use of the usual sense organs. The limitations of time and space are no more for a person who develops vision. <br />In dreams, you travel far. If you are in Bombay, you reach Calcutta. In vision, also, you can travel distances, but there will be a difference: in dreams, you imagine you have gone, whereas in vision you actually go. The fourth, psychic, body can actually be present there. As we have no idea of the ultimate possibility of this fourth body, we have discarded the ancient concept of dreams in today's world. The ancient experience was that, in a dream, one of the bodies of man comes out of him and goes on a journey. <br />There was a man, Swedenborg, whom people knew as a dreamer. He used to talk of heaven and hell and how they can only exist in dreams. But one afternoon, as he slept, he began to shout, "Help! Help! My house is on fire." People came running, but there was no fire there. They awoke him to assure him that it was only a dream and there was no danger of fire. He insisted, however, that his house was on fire. His house was three hundred miles away and it had caught fire at that time. On the second or third day, news came of this disaster. His house was burnt to ashes and it was actually burning when he cried out in his sleep. Now, this was no longer a dream but a vision. The distance of three hundred was no longer there. This man witnessed what was happening three hundred miles away. <br />Scientists also agree that there are great psychic possibilities in the fourth body. Now that man has ventured into space, research in this direction has become all the more important. The fact remains that no matter how reliable the instruments at man's disposal, these cannot be relied upon completely. If the radio communication is a spaceship ceases to function, the astronauts lose contact with the world for all time. They will not be able to tell us where they are or what has happened to them. So, today, scientists are keen to develop telepathy and vision of the psychic body to combat this risk. If the astronauts were able to communicate directly with the power of telepathy, it would be a part of the development of the fourth body. Then space travel should be made safe. A lot of work has been carried out in this direction. <br />Thirty years ago, a man set out to explore the North Pole. He was equipped with all that was necessary for wireless communication. One more arrangement was also made which has not been publicised up until now. A psychic person whose fourth body faculties were functioning agreed to receive messages from the explorer. The most surprising thing was that, when there was bad weather, the wireless failed but the psychic person received the news without any difficulty. When the diaries were compared later on, it was found that, eighty to ninety-five per cent of the time, the signals received by the psychic person were correct, whereas the news relayed by the radio was not available more than seventy-two per cent of the time because there were many breakdowns. Now a great deal of work is going on in the field of telepathy, clairvoyance, thought projection and thought reading. All these are the possibilities of the fourth body. To dream is its natural quality; to see the truth, to see the real, is its ultimate possibility, Anahat is the chakra of this fourth body. <br /> <br /> <br /><strong>The Fifth Chakra: Vishuddhi. </strong><br /><br />The fifth chakra is the vishuddhi chakra. It is located in the throat. The fifth body is the spiritual body. The vishuddhis chakra is connected to the spiritual body. The first four bodies and their chakras were split into two but duality ends with the fifth body. <br />As I said before, the difference between male and female lasts until the fourth body; after that it ends. If we observe very closely, all duality belongs to the male and female. Where the distance between male and female is no more, at that very point, all duality ceases. The fifth body is indivisible. It does not have two possibilities but only one. <br />That is why there is not much effort for the meditator to make. Here, there is nothing contrary to develop; here, one has only to enter. By the time we reach the fourth body, we have developed so much capability and strength that it is very easy to enter the fifth body. In that case, how can we tell the difference between a person who had entered the fifth body and one who has not? The difference will be that he who has entered the fifth body is completely rid of all unconsciousness. He will not actually sleep at night. That is, he sleeps but his body alone sleeps; someone within is forever awake. If he turns in sleep, he knows it; if he does not, he knows it. If he has covered himself with a blanket, he knows it; if he had not, then he also knows it. His awareness does not slacken in sleep; he is awake all the twenty-four hours. For the one who has not entered the fifth body, his state is just the opposite. In sleep, he is asleep and even in his waking hours, one layer of him will be asleep. <br />People appear to be working. When you come home every evening, the car turns left into your gate; you apply the brake when you reach the porch. Do not be under the illusion that you are doing all this consciously. It happens unconsciously by sheer force of habit. It is only in certain moments, moments of great danger, that we really snap into alertness. When the danger is such that it will not do to go about lacking awareness, we awaken. For instance, if a man puts a knife to your chest, you jump into consciousness. The point of the knife for a moment takes you right up to the fifth body. With the exception of these few moments in our lives, we live like somnambulists [sleep walkers]. <br />The wife does not see her husband's face properly nor does the husband see his wife's face. If the husband tries to visualise the wife's face, he will not be able to do so. The lines of her face will start slipping away and it will be difficult to say whether it was the same face he has seen for the last thirty years. You have never seen, because there must be an awakened person within you to see. <br />One who is "awake" appears to be seeing but actually she is not - because she is asleep within, dreaming, and everything is going on in this dream state. You get angry, then you say, "I do not know how I got angry; I did not want to." You say. "Forgive me! I did not want to be rude, it was a slip of the tongue." You have used an obscenity and it is you who deny the intention of its use. The criminal always says: "I did not want to kill. It happened in spite of me." This proves that we are going about like automata. We say what we do not want to say; we do what we do not want to do. <br />In the evening, we vow to be up at four in the morning. When it is four o'clock and the alarm goes off, we turn over, saying there is no need to be up so early. Then we get up at six and are filled with remorse for having overslept. Again, we swear to keep the same vow as yesterday. It is strange that a man decides on one thing in the evening and goes back on it in the morning! Then what he decides at four in the morning changes again before it is six and what he decides at six changes long before it is evening and, in-between, he changes a thousand times. These decisions, these thoughts, come to us in our sleepy state. They are like dreams: they expand and burst like bubbles. There is no wakeful person behind them - no one who is alert and conscious. <br />So sleep is the innate condition before the beginning of the spiritual plane. Man is a somnambulist before he enters the fifth body and there is the quality of wakefulness. Therefore, after the growth of the fourth body, we can call the individual a buddha, an awakened one. Now such a person is awake. Buddha is not the name of Gautam Siddharth but a name given to him after his attainment of the fifth plane. Gautama the Buddha means Gautam who has awakened. His name remained Gautam, but that was the name of the sleeping person, so gradually, it fell into disuse and only Buddha remained. <br />The difference comes with the attainment of the fifth body. Before we enter into it, whatever we do is an unconscious action which cannot be trusted. One moment, a man vows to love and cherish his loved one for the rest of his life and the next moment, he is quite capable of strangling her. The alliance which he promised for a lifetime does not last long. This poor man is not to be blamed. What is the value of promises given in sleep? In a dream, I may promise, "This is a lifelong relationship." Of what value is this promise? In the morning, I will deny it because it was only a dream. <br />A sleeping person cannot be trusted. This world of ours is entirely a world of sleeping people; hence, so much confusion, so many conflicts, so many quarrels, so much chaos. It is all the making of sleeping people. <br />There is another important difference between a sleeping person and an awakened one which we should bear in mind. A sleeper does not know who they are, so they are always striving to show others that they are such and such, this or that. This is a lifelong endeavour for the sleeper. They try in a thousand and one ways to prove themselves. Sometimes they climb one of the many social ladders and declare, "I am so-and-so." Sometimes they build a house and display their wealth, or climb a mountain only to display their strength. They try in all ways to prove themselves to others. And, in all these efforts, they are, in fact, unknowingly trying to find out for themselves just who they are. They know not who they are. <br />Before crossing the fourth plane, we cannot find the answer. The fifth body is called the spiritual body because there you get the answer to the quest for "Who am I?" The call of the "I" stops once and for all on this fifth plane; the claim to be someone special [inflated egoism of the disconnected ego] vanishes immediately. If you say to such a person, "You are so-and-so," he will laugh. All claims from his side will now stop because now he knows. There is no longer any need to prove himself. <br />The conflicts and problems of the individual end on the fifth plane. But this plane has its own hazards. You have come to know yourself and this knowing is so blissful and fulfilling that you may want to terminate your journey here. You may feel like not going on. Up to this point, the hazards were all pain and agony; now the hazards that begin are of bliss. The fifth plane is so blissful that you will not have the heart to leave it and proceed further. Therefore, the individual who enters this plane has to be very wary of clinging to bliss and going no further. Here, bliss is supreme and at the peak of its glory; it is in its profoundest depths. A great transformation comes about within one who has know himself. But this is not all; they have further to go! <br />It is a fact that distress and suffering do not obstruct our way as much as joy. Bliss is very obstructive. It was difficult enough to leave the crows and confusion of the marketplace, but it is a thousand times more difficult to leave the soft music of the veena in the temple. This is why many meditators stop at atma gyan, self-realization, and do not go up to the Brahma gyan, experience of the Brahman - the cosmic reality. <br />We shall have to wary of this bliss. We must make an effort not to get lost in this bliss. Bliss draws us towards itself; it drowns us; we get immersed in it completely. Do not become immersed in bliss. Know that this, too, is an experience. Happiness was an experience, misery was an experience; and so is bliss. Stand outside it, be a witness. As long as there is experience, there is an obstacle; the ultimate has not yet been reached. In the ultimate state, all experiences end. Joy and sorrow come to an end, so also does bliss. Our language, however, does not go beyond this point. This is why we have described God as sat-chit-ananda - truth, consciousness, bliss. This is not the form of the Supreme Self, but this is the utmost that words can express. Bliss is the ultimate expression of mankind. In fact, words cannot go beyond the fifth plane. But about the fifth plane we can say, "There is bliss there; there is perfect awakening; there is realization of the Self there." All this can be described. <br />Therefore, there will be no mystery about those who stop at the fifth plane. Their talk will sound very scientific because the realm of mystery lies beyond this plane. Things are very clear up to the fifth plane. I believe that science will sooner or later absorb those religions that go up to the fifth body, because science will be able to reach up to the atman. <br />When a seeker sets out on this path, their search is mainly for bliss and not truth. Frustrated by suffering and restlessness, they set out in search of bliss. So one who seeks bliss will definitely stop at the fifth plane; therefore, I must tell you to seek not bliss but truth. Then you will not remain long within the fifth body. <br />A question arises: There is ananda: this is well and good. I know myself: this, too, is well and good. But these are only the leaves and flowers. Where are the roots? I know myself, I am blissful - it is good, but from where does this "I" arise? Where are my roots? From where have I come? Where are the depths of my existence? From which ocean has this wave that I am arisen? <br />If your quest is for truth, you will wish to travel beyond the fifth body. From the very beginning, therefore, your quest should be for truth and not bliss; otherwise, your journey up to the fifth plane will be easy but you will stop there. If the quest is for truth, there is no question of stopping there. <br />So the greatest obstacle on the fifth plane is the unparalleled joy we experience - and more so because we come from a world where there is nothing but pain, suffering, anxiety, and tension. Then, when we reach this temple of bliss, there is an overwhelming desire to dance with ecstasy, to be drowned, to be lost in this bliss. This is not the place to be lost. That place will come, and then you will not have to lose yourself; you will simply be lost. There is a great difference between losing yourself and being lost. In other words, you will reach a place where even if you wish, you cannot save yourself.; You will see yourself becoming lost; there is nothing you can do to prevent it. Yet here also in the fifth body you can lose yourself. Your effort, your endeavour, still works here - and even though the ego is intrinsically dead on the fifth plane, "I-am-ness" still persists. It is necessary, therefore, to understand the difference between ego and "I-am-ness". <br />The ego, the feeling of "I", will die, but the feeling of "am" will not die. There are two things in "I-am", the "I" is the ego and the "am" is the asmita - the feeling of being. So the "I" will die on the fifth plane, but the being, the "am", will remain: "I-am-ness" will remain. Standing on this plane, a meditator will declare, "There are infinite souls and each soul is different and apart from the other." On this plane, the meditator will experience the existence of infinite souls because he still has the feeling of am, the feeling of being which makes him feel apart from others. If the quest for truth grips the mind, the obstacle of bliss can be crossed - because incessant bliss becomes tedious. A single strain of a melody can become irksome. <br />Bertrand Russel once said jokingly, "I am not attracted to salvation because I hear there is nothing but bliss there. Bliss alone would be very monotonous - bliss and bliss and nothing else. If there is not single trace of unhappiness - no anxiety, no tension in it - how long can one bear such bliss?" <br />To be lost in bliss is the hazard of the fifth plane. It is very difficult to overcome. Sometimes it takes many births to do so. The first four steps are not so hard to take, but the fifth is very difficult. Many births may be needed to be bored with bliss, to be bored with the self, to be bored with atman. <br />The quest up to the fifth body is to rid oneself of pain, hatred, violence, and desires. After the fifth, the aim of the search is to be rid of the self. So there are two things: the first is freedom from something; this is one thing and it is completed at the fifth plane. The second thing is freedom from the self and a completely new world starts here. <br /> <br /> <br /><strong>The Sixth Body: Cosmic Body - Ajna Chakra.</strong><br /><br />The sixth is the Brahma sharira, the cosmic body, and the sixth chakra is the agya [ajna] chakra. Here, there is no duality. The experience of bliss become intense on the fifth plane and the experience of existence, of being, on the sixth. Asmita - I am - will now be lost. The "I" in this is lost at the fifth plane and the "am" will go as soon as you transcend the fifth. The "is-ness" will be felt; tathata, suchness will be felt. Nowhere will there be the feeling of "I" or of "am"; only that which is remains. So here will be the perception of reality, of being - the perception of consciousness. But here the consciousness is free of me; it is no longer my consciousness. It is only consciousness - no longer my existence but only existence [chit]. <br />Some meditators stop after reaching the Brahma sharira, the cosmic body, because the state of "I am the Brahman" has finally arrived - of "Aham Brahmasmi," when I am not and only the Brahman is. Now what more is there to seek? What is to be sought? Nothing remains to be sought. Now everything is attained. The Brahman means the total. One who stands at this point says. "The Brahman is the ultimate truth, the Brahman is the cosmic reality. There is nothing beyond." <br />It is possible to stop here, and seekers do stop at this stage for millions of births because there seems to be nothing ahead. So the Brahma gyani, the one who has attained realization of the Brahman, will get stuck here; they will go no further. This stage is so difficult to cross because there is nothing to cross to. Everything has been covered. Does not one need a space to cross into? If I want to go outside this room, there must be somewhere else to go. But the room has now become so enormous, so beginingless and endless, so infinite, so boundless, that there is nowhere to go. Where will we go to search? Nothing remains to be found; everything has been covered. So the journey may halt at this stage for infinite births. <br />The Brahman is therefore the ultimate obstacle - the last barrier in the ultimate quest of the seeker. Now, only the being remains but non-being has yet to be realised. The Being, the "is-ness", is known but that which is not, still remains to be known. Therefore, the seventh plane is the the nirvana kaya , nirvanic body, and its chakra is the sahasrar. Nothing can be said in connection with this chakra. We can only continue talking at the most up to the sixth - and that, too, with great difficulty. Most of it turns out to be misleading - yet we attempt to describe and explain. <br />Until the fifth body, the search progresses within very scientific parameters; everything can be explained. On the sixth plane, the horizon begins to fade; everything seems meaningless. Hints can still be given but, ultimately, the pointing finger breaks and the hints too are no more because one's own being is eliminated. So the Brahman, the absolute being, is known from the sixth body and the sixth chakra. <br />Therefore, those who seek the Brahman will meditate on the agya [ajna] chakra which is between the eyes [eyebrow centre]. This chakra is connected to the cosmic body. Those who work completely on this chakra will begin to call the vast infinite expanse that they witness - "the third eye". This is the third eye through which they can now view the cosmic, the infinite. <br /> <br /> <strong>The Seventh Chakra: Sahasrara.<br />The Journey to Non-Being, Nirvana. </strong><br /><br />One more journey yet remains - the journey to non-being, non-existence. Existence is only half the story: there is also non-existence. Light is but, on the other side, there is darkness. Life is one part but there is also death. Therefore, it is necessary to know as well, the remaining non-existence, the void, because the ultimate truth can only be known when both are known -- existence and non-existence. Being is known in its entirety and non-being is known in its entirety: then the knowing is complete. Existence is known in its entirety and non-existence is known in its entirety: then we know the whole. Otherwise, our experience is incomplete. There is an imperfection in Brahma gyan, which is that it has not been able to know the non-being. Therefore, the Brahma gyani denies that there is such a thing as non-existence and calls it an illusion. He says that is does not exist. He says that to be is the truth and not to be is a falsity. There simply is no such thing, so the question of knowing it does not arise.<br />Nirvana kaya means the shunya kaya, the void from where we jump from the Being into the Non-Being. In the cosmic body, something yet remains unknown. That, too, has to be known -- what it is not to be, what it is to be completely erased. Therefore, the seventh plane in a sense is an ultimate death. Nirvana, as I informed you previously, means the extinction of the flame. That which was "I" is extinct; that which was "am" is extinct. But now we have again come into Being by being one with All. Now we are the Brahman and this, too, will have to be left behind. Those who are ready to take the last jump know existence and also non-existence.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-71953080473839361952008-07-31T01:48:00.000-07:002008-08-04T03:58:56.492-07:00Meditation Techniques<strong>Sanjeevani Meditation</strong><br /> <br /><br />1st Step (Omkar) : 2 min<br /><br />- Please stand up.

However as we grow in the world we start to follow the mainstream way of thinking and <strong>overlook our potential for clairvoyant or psychic powers.<br /><br />What is a Clairvoyant Ability?</strong><br /><br />A clairvoyant ability is seen as a spiritual gift and there are ways we can all develop these powers and unlock our own potential.<br /><br /><strong>Exercises to Boost Clairvoyant Abilities:</strong><br /><br />Try these exercises to uncover your hidden clairvoyant ability.<br /><br />1. The first one is an obvious one that we have all done and no doubt shown some success at. <br />When the phone rings next time try and visualise who is calling before you answer. Try this regularly and see if your success rate improves. Could you be exploring your clairvoyant ability?<br /><br />2. This one you can try with a friends help. Try to predict what the number of the dice will be before they roll it. Perhaps start by just trying to predict odd or even. This can help you develop intuition.<br /><br />3. To further develop your intuition and precognition try to predict events and scores at your favourite sporting event or when watching a game on TV. Start by predicting the winner and as you gain confidence move on to predicting the score or other match statistics.<br /><br />4. Next time you are in a queue at say the bank try to predict which window you will get called to. With practice you should be able to improve this prediction.<br /><br />5. To develop remote viewing clairvoyant abilities try to imagine before a business or social meeting what the other person will be wearing. Start with concentrating on colour and as you practice move on to greater details. <br />Write down your thoughts before the meeting so that you are sure to be honest with yourself.<br /><br />6. When you are standing at the bar waiting to be served try to predict what drinks the person ahead of you will order. This can heighten your intuition skills.<br /><br />7. Next time you are in the lift or elevator play a game at guessing which number button each new person who enters will press. This can help you develop precognition, clairvoyance and telepathy.<br /><br />8. Another easy way to practice is with a friend and a pack of playing cards. Get your friend to turn over one card at a time and you just start by predicting red or black. If you can get your success rate up to 75% then expand your skills to predict the actual suit of the next card.<br /><br />Clairvoyant ability can be developed with practice and patience. Try not to force the issue but incorporate these and other little exercises into your everyday life to learn to broaden your thoughts, develop your intuition and allow your natural clairvoyance to develop.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-25785254603550296692008-07-31T01:43:00.004-07:002008-07-31T10:53:15.442-07:00List Of Psychic AbilitiesThere are many items on any complete list of psychic abilities, but here are ten of the most common kinds of gifts.<br /><br />1.) Clairvoyance - Clairvoyance is at the top of any list of psychic abilities as it is the gift most people think of when they see the word "psychic." All clairvoyance means is "the ability to see clearly." A clairvoyant can see what ordinary people cannot. Sometimes this means seeing the future. Other times, it means being able to communicate with those who have passed over to the other side (died). But, as you will see below, there are other things on the list of psychic abilities.<br /><br />2.) Astrology - Being able to read the stars is a gift that is different from Clairvoyance. Astrology is the ability to use the positions of the planets at the times of one's birth to predict events on the life course.<br /><br />3.) Aura Reading -- If a Psychic is able to see electromagnetic field around a person, she can read their Aura. Some Psychics see this in terms of color while others actually feel the energy.<br /><br />4.) Tarot Card Reading - Number four on the top ten list of Psychic abilities is reading the Tarot. A psychic or oracle uses their Extra Sensory Perception (ESP) to interpret the images on the deck of Tarot Cards as laid out in formal patterns.<br /><br />5.) I Ching - Similar to the skill of reading Tarot, being able to Interpret the I Ching takes a level of psychic understanding. Often the I Ching will be opened and a random selection will be read. The psychic then interprets this passage.<br /><br />6.) Runes - Runes are yet another tool an Oracle can use to predict the future. Runestones have been used for more than 1500 years. They originated in Scandinavia. An Oracle selects Runes in sets of three finding the overview, challenge, and solution.<br /><br />7.) Numerology - Numerology is the magical divination of numbers, dates, and the numerical values of the letters of the alphabet. Psychics can use the name and birth date of the individual to make prophecies about their life.<br /><br />8.) Psychic Dream Interpretation - Like the Biblical figure Joseph, psychic dream interpreters can listen to a person's retelling of a dream and use that to predict the future and give advice.<br /><br />9.) Past Life Regression - A psychic hypnotizes a subject and regresses them so that they can explore their past lives.<br /><br />10.) Palmistry - No list of psychic abilities would be complete without a mention of Palmistry. Palmistry is the psychic gift of reading the lines and mounds of the hands to tell the future and interpret the subject's life.<br /><br />While there are many other gifts, these are the top 10 list of psychic abilities.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-44119085751112869492008-07-31T01:43:00.003-07:002008-07-31T01:43:44.945-07:00Levels Of Clairvoyance - Are There Levels Of Clairvoyance?Some people speak of the levels of clairvoyance. What they are generally speaking of is how developed the clairvoyants skill has become. Of course, with anything, even a natural ability, it must be honed and sharpened to develop into the higher levels of clairvoyance one might be seeking.<br /><br />You can use the levels of clairvoyance to assess your own skills as you begin to develop new abilities. Pay close attention to your own clairvoyant abilities and watch them grow as you exercise psychic powers. To move on to the next level of clairvoyance it will be necessary for you to work hard at your meditation exercises and creative visualization techniques. Moving up to higher levels of clairvoyance will require an intense period of preparation and training using these techniques.<br /><br />To begin the process of opening the third eye you can try this meditation technique that works on your attention focusing ability. You must be able to focus attention to a razor sharp clarity before you can begin to open your third eye.<br /><br />To begin sit upright in a chair in any meditation spot. This area that has been chosen for meditation practice must be quiet and free from any possible disruptions. Focus your attention on the area between your eyebrows and become aware of what is going on in the present. Be aware of the feeling of the body in the present moment. Be aware of emotions in the present moment. Once you are completely aware of the present state of being move on to the next step. The following activity can help hone one's psychic abilities and raise their level of clairvoyance.<br /><br />Focus your attention on each of the chakra of the subconscious. These are located in the base of the spine, the back of the navel, behind the solar plexus, behind the heart, where the neck and shoulders meet, at the base of the skull and where the nose meets the forehead. Focus attention from the point between the eyebrows to each of these places.<br /><br />Finally focus attention to the top of the head. This is where you will find a presence that is observing everything. To be able to move your attention to each chakra point and the point at the top of your head is your third eye. Once you are able to become the presence that is located in the top of the head you are successfully using your third eye.<br /><br />Practice this meditation daily to develop these skills and move up the ladder of the levels of clairvoyance. It is important that you are able to move attention at will to each of these points quickly to develop your abilities at the highest level of clairvoyance.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-30588456532152489422008-07-31T01:43:00.001-07:002008-07-31T01:43:21.379-07:00Developing Clairvoynace - Some Tips For Developing ClairvoyanceMany people believe that everyone is born with clairvoyant abilities. Only after we are taught the norms of society do these abilities begin to close down and forget to develop our clairvoyance skills. They are still there, however, and can be brought back to the forefront with some exercises and meditation techniques. These have been found to be quite useful in developing clairvoyance. Developing clairvoyance is one of the most life-enriching activities you can pursue, because it is a life-enhancing skill which can bring you incredible pleasure.<br /><br />The first thing that is required is to stay away from negative emotion and thoughts on clairvoyant abilities. It will be very difficult to continue any emotional and spiritual growth if there is no true emotional belief about the possibilities ahead. It is sometimes a good idea to keep spirituality and beliefs about developing clairvoyance to yourself unless other people are receptive to these ideas, as many people still disregard developing clairvoyance as a waste of time.<br /><br />It is essential to develop self-trust. There are some guidelines to follow when first beginning to trust these new clairvoyant abilities. The first guideline is to heal your emotional issues. As you work through your emotional issues you will develop a desire to help others without these clairvoyant abilities. You must also become emotionally and spiritually balanced so that the messages you receive are clear and not funneled through the cloud of your unbalanced thoughts. Know that once images and messages are received once they will increase as your adeptness improves in using the techniques. You must make the effort to explore each message that is given. As they are proven out your trust in your clairvoyant abilities will be increased.<br /><br />Meditation and yoga can help your developing clairvoyance. Yoga teaches the body to relax and stretch beyond what it is normally capable of. Meditation teaches us to quiet our very noisy mind and stretch beyond what we are normally capable of. It is as important to relax the body as it is to quiet the mind. Try to still your mind through meditation so that you are able to receive the messages that you are being given. Our innate clairvoyant abilities are always delivering messages to us, but they usually become lost in the chaos of our own minds.<br /><br />If you are interested in developing clairvoyance then you should begin learning how to relax your body and quiet your mind. Developing clairvoyance can take many years to master, while for others, developing clairvoyance is a quick and easy process. Practice yoga to physically relax and learn good breathing techniques. Practice meditation to eliminate stress and quiet your mind. You will begin to see the messages that have always been there much more clearly once you have developed an ability to meditateUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-21257660492700992722008-07-31T01:42:00.003-07:002008-07-31T01:42:57.943-07:00Clairvoyance Abilities - How To Increase Your Inner Clairvoyance AbilitiesWe are all born with clairvoyance abilities. However, as we grow and begin to learn the ways of the world we turn away from out inner powers and focus more on the physical world around us. These clairvoyance abilities begin to diminish, and can become forgotten about by the time when they are just ripe for use!<br /><br />Clairvoyance abilities are a gift that is meant for all of us and each person has the power to unwrap their gift and use it to make a more meaningful and spiritual life for yourself. It is possible to develop these clairvoyance abilities and use them in a way that can benefit everyone. Once this newfound spirituality engages every person and you have developed your clairvoyance abilities then the desire to help others will strengthen.<br /><br />Here are some simple exercises which can increase clairvoyance abilities. They are very ordinary, but sometimes it is the practice of focusing the mind on these ordinary events that awakens these natural abilities.<br /><br />The next time the phone rings at home, before answering, take a moment to try and visualize who is on the phone. Many times it is possible to get the answer right because you have some subconscious idea of who might be calling at that particular time of day. But if this technique is practiced often enough, most people see an increase in the amount of times they are correct. This is an easy way to improve clairvoyance abilities by practicing.<br /><br />Another simple exercise is the next time you are supposed to meet with friends take some time before you meet to try and visualize that person. Try to see what color they may be wearing or what particular clothing they might have on. This may be an inner intuition about this particular person or you just know them very well, but with time you may see your ability to predict what the other person will wear increasing with time.<br /><br />Take the time in your daily life to try and predict these normal daily occurrences. Who will win the big game show on television? Roll dice and try to get a mental picture of the dice before they are rolled. These are all simple ordinary tricks that you can try to see how strong your clairvoyant powers are becoming.<br /><br />With time and meditation techniques you will begin to see an increase in your clairvoyance abilities. Don't underestimate the power of predicting these ordinary events. Most people will chalk them up to coincidence or just a subconscious knowledge of what will be. But if you have been working to hone your skills with clairvoyance you will see these predictions as evidence of your strengthening abilities. All it takes is a little time and practice to begin developing clairvoyance abilities, but after you reach a certain point, it is a good idea to further your clairvoyance abilities by consulting an expert or taking a class.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-68178723902273739402008-07-31T01:42:00.001-07:002008-07-31T01:42:36.063-07:00Ways To Develop Clairvoyance - How To Use Meditation To Develop Psychic PowersSo you've got clairvoyant abilities and you're looking for a way to give them a bit of a work out and develop them into the strong force that they are capable of becoming. There are some proven techniques that work for developing inner powers and ways to develop clairvoyance. There are many ways to develop clairvoyance, but of them, the best of the ways to develop clairvoyance is definitely through meditation.<br /><br />The very first technique that is most important in the development of clairvoyant abilities is meditation. Meditation is not as simple as some might believe. It is essential to develop the power to quiet the mind and keep it still so that it is possible to receive the messages that the clairvoyant powers are trying to give you.<br /><br />When practicing meditation it is most important that you find a suitable location where you will not be disrupted. It is best to use candlelight and perhaps some incense to create a more spiritual mood in the chosen meditation spot. It is very important that meditation be viewed as the spiritual exercise that it is. The reason that this is such a powerful way to develop clairvoyance is that it is truly a spiritual experience, which many people forget or do not recognize at the time.<br /><br />Now that you have found your spot and have created the mood for introspective meditation, find a place to sit comfortably. The spine should be held upright and it is typical to close your eyes. Breathe deeply through the nose and concentrate on relaxing. Focus on each part of your body and feel it relax as your breath moves in and out through your nose. If your mind begins to wander just focus it back on your breathing. Completely concentrate on the act of breathing and relax.<br /><br />Once the relaxation begins to kick in, focus your attention on the area between the eyebrows. This is often referred to as the third eye. This is the center of clairvoyant activity. While focusing on this area it is common that people begin to experience a tingling sensation or a warming sensation in that spot. This is your clairvoyance beginning to become active. These powers will become stronger when beginning to experiment with more ways to develop clairvoyance, but for now, concentrate on mastering meditation, since that is a key component of all of the ways to develop clairvoyance.<br /><br />Imagine a flower in that spot. See its color and beauty. Imagine its fragrant aroma. It can be very difficult to visualize a specific item while meditating. Your mind will at times wander away from what you are trying to see. It is very important in the development of clairvoyant abilities to work on developing this ability to concentrate and visualize.<br /><br />Practice this visualization every day until it is possible to bring about any image you wish to see quickly and at any time. You are strengthening your ability to visualize and concentrate. This is a very important step when you are exploring ways to develop clairvoyance.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-2554150810132795182008-07-31T01:39:00.000-07:002008-07-31T01:42:00.741-07:00Developing Your Ability of Clairvoyance - Your Clear Seeing<strong>How are dreams a way of clear seeing for us as healing practitioners?</strong><br /><br /><br />First of all, both the Old and New Testaments are filled with prophetic dreams that were messages from God for the people. Sometimes, the dreams were completely symbolic and had to be interpreted by one of the Old Testament figures. Often the messages we might receive in dreams come to us in symbols. Some of these will be universal while others are unique to you. Pay attention to all the nuances of the dream-the colors, symbols, people, actions, etc. Many times the meaning of a dream may not be revealed until much later. If we listen closely to our dreams, we will gain the needed insights to resolve conflicts, heal relationships, and heal our bodies and our emotions. Sometimes dreams can give us direction for the healing path we have chosen.<br /><strong><br />What are Visions?</strong><br /><br />Visions are like dreams only they occur in the waking state and not the dream state. The Acts of the Apostles recounts many visions that shaped the early Christian Church. Paul had a vision that a man would heal his blindness and Ananias had a vision that he was to find Paul to heal his blindness. In another significant vision story, Cornelius a centurion had a vision of an angel who told him to send for Peter. Peter likewise had a strange vision in which he was told to kill and eat animals that were clearly not Kosher. Just then, the servants of Cornelius showed up to take him back to their master. When Peter began to tell Cornelius and his friends about Jesus, the Holy Spirit came upon them all and they began to speak in tongues. Then Peter understood the vision-Jesus came for everyone, Jew and non-Jew alike. Don't discount visions as only for those who are religious. Visions might lead you in your healing practice or direct you to create a healing center or a healing program. Visions can be small or large. Sometimes our clear seeing comes in the form of mental pictures. We get a "snap-shot" view of where something is hidden or a picture comes to mind of someone we need to call.<br /><br />Most people can relate to this if they are visual in nature at all. Some can even see a mental movie before their eyes of things yet to come. This is really not that uncommon. Who among us has not lost our car keys or some other needed object? When we are unable to find it and have become thoroughly frustrated, it comes to us to sit down quietly and try to picture where we last had the object we are seeking.<br /><br /><strong>What About Seeing Auras and Angels--Is This a Form of Clairvoyance too?</strong><br /><br /><br />And then of course there is seeing "auras" and "angel lights." Angel lights are very similar to seeing auras only they aren't around people. They may appear as flashes of light or soft glows in the corner of the room. Sometimes you may even see many lights around the altar of worship that don't seem to be attributed to the natural or artificial lighting of the space. They may be white or even colored lights. If you see them, check inside and see what you are feeling. If it's peace, then more than likely the lights are an indication of the presence of the angels.<br /><br />Auras can be seen by many people including children. Auras can appear as a glow around people, animals and objects that range from a pale gray/blue or white to multiple colors. The aura can be seen from a few inches to several feet around the person, animal or object. Are you intrigued about developing your ability to clearly see? The Institute of Spiritual Healing & aromatherapy teaches courses throughout the United States on energy healing. One of the courses in this curriculum specifically addresses developing these skills.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-74253148275133890582008-07-31T01:38:00.002-07:002008-07-31T01:39:11.503-07:00The Top 3 Stumbling Blocks to Psychic Development and How to Overcome ThemYou might have heard this before: "Everyone has some degree of psychic ability" Did you then think, as I did, "Ok, so where's mine?" I do believe that every person has latent psychic skills that can be developed and honed. The problem is many people wish to develop these skills and are met with a few stumbling blocks that prevent them from reaching their goals. Let's take a look at them.<br /><br />The first stumbling block is a misunderstanding of psychic ability. Most people expect what they see in the movies: bright, colorful, photographically clear images and high definition sounds that tell a complete story. Let me first say that not everyone's strength is clairvoyance, which is the ability to see images psychically. It has been my experience, however, that most psychics that are clairvoyant don't have that kind of crystal clear experience. When I see something, it's usually a brief flash, occasionally in color, and it's often symbolic and requires a little research to find out the meaning behind it. I have had several discussions with many of my friends who are psychic and they tell me they have the same type of experience I do. <br />It is also important to know that clairvoyance is not the only psychic ability a person can have. Some people hear (clairaudience) things such as the voices of spirit guides; others feel (clairsentience) energies or detect danger through "gut feelings". Some even smell etheric scents. Whatever your psychic strength is, start by developing it first. Mine happens to be clairsentience.<br /><br />The second stumbling block is an attempt to "chase the information". This refers to the tendency so many of us have to try to "go get" the information we want. When we do this, we place a big road block between what we're trying to learn and ourselves. The way to receive psychic information is to be relaxed and receptive. Rather than "going to get" the information, patiently wait for it to come to you. The reason so many psychics have prophetic dreams is because when they're asleep, they are in a very deep state of relaxation and receptivity. If you know how to meditate, slip into a light meditative sate. This will greatly improve your ability to receive psychic information. If you don't know how to meditate, don't worry. Just be calm and relaxed and let whatever comes to your mind enter.<br /><br />The third stumbling block is trust. Because most people are expecting the information to take one form and often get something different, they dismiss what was received. The key to moving along the path of psychic development is to trust the impressions you get. As an example, I was working with my sister one time, trying to discover the cause of her headache. She often gets stress headaches and she wanted me to see if I could find the cause. I received an image of her house and couldn't make sense of why I would be shown that. I was sure my mind was simply conjuring up this picture and it had no relevance. But, trusting what I was receiving, I asked her if anything was going on at home that might be stressing her and she said, "Yes, I'm incredibly stressed about getting the house cleaned up for the party this weekend." Had I simply assumed I was making up the picture of her house because it wasn't what I was expected to be the answer, I might not have found the problem.<br /><br />I hope you have found this article helpful and I wish you the best of luck on your road to psychic development.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-9370106605399811302008-07-31T01:38:00.001-07:002008-07-31T10:57:24.738-07:00Awakening Psychic AbilitiesIn this article we are going to talk about the psychic eye. Now, before we begin, I'd like to advise people reading this NOT to get too caught up in terminology and jargon. Why? It simply OVER complicates very basic concepts and is sort of put out there by people who are trying to mislead you with exotic terminologies rather than instructive information. Read on as I explain!<br /><br />The psychic eye simply refers to the opening of awareness. Most people will agree it originates from the Hindu Chakra system of energy systems within the human body that when they are "opened", give the recipient a series of powers or abilities that were previously dormant. Now, that is the "mythology" so to speak of the term. But in real world application, it is simply the cultivation of psychic talents that are either created through effort or determination....or in SOME lucky people, the simple "nudging along" of what are already inherently strong and powerful sensitivities that they were born with.<br /><br />Make NO mistake. You have the ability to cultivate your own psychic skills. It is NOT a question of simply being born with them...or not. We are EACH born with the ability to learn math, for example. Some may be more naturally predisposed to be REALLY good with math (NOT me!) than others, but to say that only a world class mathematician can perform math is obviously VERY foolish. It's the same thing here. There are those who are born with more natural skills that are more easily refined than others, but the "psychic eye" is a HUMAN trait, hardwired into our spiritual circuitboards. To open it you do NOT have to study eastern philosophy or live in cave..:-) You simply need to embrace the mystery, and OPEN yourself to the phenomenal currents of awareness, ALIVENESS and energy that is waiting for you to tap into and explore...:-)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-30686641337701188782008-07-31T01:37:00.001-07:002008-07-31T10:55:04.496-07:00Psychic AbilityIn this article I'd like to share with you some GREAT tips on how to develop REAL psychic abilities. The simple truth is that for SUCH a simple subject, the world of psychic phenomena is shrouded in unnecessary layers of MYTH and misinformation. There are SKEPTICS who will tell you psychic phenomena are all a bunch of bunk (and they would be WRONG..:-) and then there are the LOONIES and reactionaries out there that will ascribe psychic significance to every simple or coincidental life situation, giving the skeptics even MORE ammunition to claim all of us who EMBRACE the mysteries of life are nuts! The truth is FAR simpler and more easy to digest. Read on as I explain.<br /><br />Your mind can do things that NO computer on the planet can accomplish. We are all self aware...and that is a MIRACLE that no science can explain. You can contemplate your own existence...you can create art, think, reflect, show compassion, care and so much more. Psychic abilities, the REAL ones, are as fundamental to our existence and shrouded in the wrappings of our potential as consciousness itself is. And remember - no matter how much the "skeptics" may try to SAY they understand about the mind....there is NO scientific explanation for consciousness itself. But that is a DIFFERENT article for a different time.<br /><br />Psychic abilities can be cultivated and developed. Much the way a babies consciousness grows and evolves to a small child - and then to that of teen, adult and beyond, so too does the psychic skill of those willing to invest the energy into evolving the mental faculties required to watch them grow.<br /><br />Meditation, for example, is a GATEWAY to psychic powers you can ONLY imagine. (if you don't believe me...read Hindu, bud hist, Kabalistic, and Christian texts on the powers that come with contemplation) You can transform your world through the power of meditation, and I can personally attest to this. Out of body experiences and lucid dreaming exercises are not only EASY to learn, they will open you up to adventures.....powers and possibilities that lie beyond your most colorful imaginations. Remote viewing is REAL and can be learned by just about anybody...as the United States military proved with their two decade experiment called "Operation Stargate" and whose results were recently declassified under the freedom of information act.<br /><br />There is a world out there of REAL psychic powers that WILL change your life if you choose to look a bit closer. I know it has made ALL the difference in mine!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-341918633291849732008-07-31T01:36:00.000-07:002008-07-31T01:37:17.433-07:00Psychic Miracle Power of Water<strong>The Ocean and Its Psychic Miracle Water Power</strong><br /><br />1) The ocean is a large body of water, in constant movement. Its water is continuously energized by the sun and during then night, its tides are energetically infused by the lunar rays of the sun. <br /> <br />2) The ocean also utilizes the power of the wind which is known for its ability to remove negative energy trapped in the auric field. <br /> <br />3) It is full of life and beautifully infused with vivid colors invoking the use of color therapy and healing. <br /> <br />4) It has a high salt content and salt is one of the strongest protectors, energy cleansers and soul purifiers known to man. <br /> <br />5) For these reasons, a person will experience the deepest forms of cleansing, healing, releasing and purification using the psychic miracle power of water, BUT ONLY IF he/she has clear intention when doing any kind of psychic work <br /> <br />6) Spiritualists have known for over 100 years that when a group of people come together to develop their psychic ability or to perform any kind of healing work, whenever a Psychic Medium is involved, it amplifies the energy of the group one hundred fold. This creates a very powerful experience for everyone. But believe me, I feel totally drained afterwards. So, I have learned to use the oceans powerful energy to revive my energy levels back to normal at which point I am back to normal again. <br /> <br />7) When any kind of healing or releasing work is performed on the ocean with a Psychic Medium, everyone having a purposeful intention, and among a group of likeminded individuals, the affects are indescribable. <br /> <br /><br />Man has used the psychic miracle power of water since the beginning of time for seeing into the future, spiritual cleansing and soul renewal. We can still see the remnants of these practices today: <br /> <br />1) Today Christian religions use water in baptisms' for the purpose of being cleansed and reborn again <br /> <br />2) In India, people go to bathe in the Ganges River for all kinds of spiritual rituals. <br /> <br />3) Catholic religions use holy water for blessings, protection and purification. <br /> <br />4) Whenever people see a pond or fountain, the throw money into it and make a wish, hoping what they wished for will come true<br /><br />6 Ways That You Can Use the Psychic Miracle Power of water<br /><br />You can discover for yourself the secret psychic miracle powers of water that the people of Atlantis, the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans knew centuries before.<br /><br />The 6 techniques, along with the bonus techniques, are applicable, useful and helpful for just about any situation that you will ever encounter in life!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-4567626128910509652008-07-31T01:35:00.000-07:002008-07-31T01:36:28.991-07:00A Proven List of Psychic Abilities You Can LearnIn this article we are going to take a look at a list of psychic abilities YOU can learn on your own. If you are anything like me, you are probably fascinated by the wide and diverse set of psychic talents that are available to be explored, learned and mastered...and so MANY people have NO idea just how many unique and interesting ways these skills can be cultivated. So lets take a quick peek at some of these very abilities that are AVAILABLE to you...right now, if you're BRAVE enough to pull back the curtain and take a peek! Read on..:-)<br /><br />As someone with a lifelong interest and study of the psychic and paranormal, I can tell you unequivocally that there are FAR more abilities to master than what you probably are aware of. Most of us are familiar with clairvoyance, clairaudience and clairsentience (from the French clear seeing, hearing and feeling) and these are the most commonly ascribed skills to psychic readers and mediums that we see on TV and out and about. But what about astral projection or as it is more commonly called in scientific circles " an out of BODY experience". Did you know this is reasonably easy to learn and will SHIFT your world view and sense of spirituality on it's EAR after a split SECOND in the ethereal realms? How about remote viewing...or TRAINING your inner eye to see things thousands of miles away by simply tuning in...and GAZING out? Don't think it's possible to learn? Don't tell THAT to the U.S. Government and CIA who funded two DECADES of covert research into training psychic spies who did JUST that. (skeptical? Good! "Google" remote viewing and see what you find..:-)<br /><br />What about learning mediumistic skills? (talking to those who have crossed over that slender shred between THIS world and the great beyond) Did you know that MANY men and women alike cultivated these skills LATER in life (after the age of 40) with SOME going on to provide some of the most PROOF positive evidence that there is INDEED a human soul that continues on past the path of this one single life we now know.....This is a LEARNED skill. Simply opening up to the divine ever present awareness that exists around us all in each and ever moment and allowing it to manifest into a practical reality is a TALENT that can be taught...and learned by all!<br /><br />There really is so much more as well - Kundalini Meditation you've probably never heard of, but PROMISES it's devotees MAGICAL powers of the sidhhis (bi location, levitation) and hardcore KABALLISTIC rabbis believe they can create or manifest "golem" or psychic warriors simply by activating their latent (and learned) energies on unwitting enemies.<br /><br />It's a wild and woolly world on the supernatural surfboard...you simply have to be willing to GET on and find a wave!<br /><br />And of course there is SO much more....More that lies possible in YOUR life if you only open yourself up to the possibilities. Simply START by opening your mind, spirit & enhanced AWARENESS and ride the supernatural surfboard into the wild, wacky and wonderful world of the unknown..:-) It WILL rock Your WORLD...I promise..;-)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-70375501774039159772008-07-31T01:33:00.000-07:002008-07-31T01:35:17.202-07:00How Can Psychic Surgery WorkPsychic surgery started in the Philippines in a spiritualist community. The first well-known psychic surgeon, Eleuterio Terte performed surgery using only his bare hands. Frequently accompanied by his assistant, Tony Adpaoa, he created an opening in the skin and reached in to remove foreign bodies, diseased cells and tumours. The skin miraculously healed after the surgery. Filmed and written about by authors of the book "Into the Strange Unknown", Ron Ormond and Ormond McGill, it became a subject of interest in the late 1950's and early 1960's. The authors, amazed at the authenticity, referred to the surgery as a miracle.<br /><br />The Brazilian psychic healers of the late 1950's often used not only their hands but actually made crude incisions with kitchen utensils or non-surgical blades. Jose' Arigo' was one of the more famous of those healers. He claimed to have a direct connection to deceased medical doctor, Dr. Fritz. Dr.Fritz became a popular spirit when several other psychic surgeons around the world also made the connection to his spirit. Many of the Brazilian doctors used methods in psychic surgery that resembled Chiropractic practices, shiatsu massage or Qi Gong. Frequently licensed doctors closed the wounds created by the psychic surgeons in Brazil.<br /><br />While it was in its heyday, psychic surgery caught the attention of many and became a huge method of creating a cash flow for the surgeon. Several popular magicians, including James Randi, Milbourne Christopher, Penn and Teller and Criss Angel have debunked psychic surgery as a fraud. The surgeons create a flesh fold and make it appear that their hand is going into the abdominal area of the patient. Then they reach into a container of animal entrails, livers, gizzards or even glass, hidden from view and with slight hand movements, make it look as though these are pulled from the sufferer's body. The wound magically heals since it never existed. The Brazilian patients that received actual lacerations were not so lucky; they had to heal on their own after their surgery.<br /><br />By the year 1975 the Federal Trade Commission announced that psychic surgery was a hoax and banned all travel tours that transported their clients for psychic surgery. In the year, 1990 the American Cancer Society and the British Cancer society both urged patients that were ill not to seek the help of psychic surgeons but use traditional paths for recovery.<br /><br />Some still ignore the warnings and prove that psychic surgery doesn't work. These people are usually the ones that receive hope from no other source. The psychic surgery is their last effort in an attempt not just to cling to life, but to find a cure so the quality of life exists. The late comedian Andy Kaufman was one of these people. In the final stages of incurable cancer, he and his girlfriend went to Baguio, a mountain resort town in Manila. Twice daily he received psychic surgery treatments and seemed, after six weeks, to be getting better. He returned to Los Angeles and suddenly his health deteriorated and he passed quickly. His desire to get better drove him to the psychic surgeon and the belief in the surgery helped him improve his spirits but in the end, it did nothing for his health.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-54589664730623534032008-07-31T01:32:00.002-07:002008-07-31T01:33:27.832-07:00Healing Through Past Life RegressionPast Life Regression (or PLR) is a method of accessing the superconscious mind, the part of us that has an awareness of all of the incarnations that we have been through since our souls came into existence. The superconscious mind is accessed through hypnosis. There are many benefits to having a PLR experience, including healing in your current life, better understanding your relationships, and simple exploration.<br /><br />Oftentimes ailments in this life stem from a strong emotional reaction that originated in a past life. When you experience trauma, the soul experiences a shift in energy, or vibration. If the event or events are traumatic enough, or if there is a pattern of similar events, that vibration can be carried over from life to life, and will manifest itself in different ways. The vibration can manifest itself as a physical condition or disease, or as a pattern of behavior. Many conditions such as back pain, asthma, etc., have been resolved through Past Life Regression Therapy.<br /><br />Past life experiences can carry over as patterns of behavior, too, and those can be either positive or negative. People who seem to live "charmed lives" may be carrying over higher vibrations from positive experiences in their past lives. Conversely, people who experience recurring patterns of financial loss or relationship problems may be carrying over lower vibrations, from negative experiences. Again, these could be single, significant traumatic events, or a series of less traumatic, but repetitious and reinforcing experiences.<br /><br />In a past life experience, the client will experience in great detail the scenes, people, images and events of the past life. If a foreign language is spoken in the past life, oftentimes the client will hear, speak and sometimes even be able to write in that language, even if it is totally foreign to them in this life. The sights, sounds and especially the emotions of the past incarnation are very vivid. Relationships in past lives can help to explain the dynamics of relationships in current lives. For example, a woman who was abused by men over several lifetimes can now begin to understand why she has no desire for sexual intimacy in this lifetime. From that understanding, healing can begin.<br /><br />Phobias often have a connection to a past life experience. In one case, a woman was deathly afraid of the water her entire life, even though she had never had a negative experience with water in this life. In regression, she discovered that she had lived as a small boy in Norway, and that as that small boy, she had fallen off of a pier and drowned. This single, traumatic experience left her with a terrible phobia of water in this life. Understanding where this phobia came from allowed her to come to a place of peace in her relationship with water.<br /><br />The knowledge of past lives allows the subconscious mind to have relief in this life. Understanding the origins of some of our illnesses and behaviors creates healing, can begin the process of forgiveness in relationships, and can shed new light on our existence.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-49799199984192651582008-07-31T01:32:00.001-07:002008-07-31T01:32:53.297-07:00The Benefits of Learning Self Hypnosis TechniquesHypnosis is drawing what is within you, your capabilities and strengths.

Hypnosis can be used to change something about yourself that will make you more productive, happier and a better person.<br /><br />People have wrong notion about hypnosis; maybe because of what they have seen in movies. You don’t have to be in a spell or trance to be in hypnosis. In fact, many of our daily activities are performed under hypnosis without us being conscious about it. Driving a car for instance is one of it. It is an activity that you shut your mind out of other stimuli or distractions to concentrate on driving. Your concentration and focus will help you to automatically respond to anything that will happen while driving.<br /><br />The benefits of learning self hypnosis techniques:<br /><br />Change yourself. Learning self hypnosis techniques will help you change your negative thinking into positive attitude. You can even learn how to control anger through hypnosis. It can help you improve yourself confidence and overcome shyness and fears. Learning self hypnosis techniques will allow you to relax and focus on something that you want to enhance and change. Hypnosis will also allow you to overcome challenging situations in your life.<br /><br />Overcome Diseases. Clinical hypnosis is officially recognized by American Medical Association and American Psychological Association. Learning self hypnosis techniques can help you overcome diseases and pains. There are self hypnosis techniques that you can use to conquer migraines, insomnia, menstrual pains, anxiety panic attacks and even overcome fears of dental procedures.<br /><br />Weight loss. Learning self hypnosis techniques will also help you stop over-eating to reduce weight. It will help you gain your ideal weight without feeling deprived or hungry. The mind is in charge of metabolism and in changing your mind, you can change metabolism. You will learn to stop compulsive eating, take charge of your weight and shred off those unwanted fats.<br /><br />Quit bad habits and addition. Another benefit of learning self hypnosis techniques is the capability to quit bad habits and addiction like smoking and drinking alcohol. Hypnosis is being used now as a smoking cessation therapy. Learning self hypnosis techniques will help you deal with psychological and emotional phase of giving up smoking.<br /><br />Enhance Relationships. Hypnosis can do wonders to your relationship and love life. You can achieve dating success and attract the love you deserve. Learning self hypnosis techniques will allow you to program yourself for unstoppable confidence to make positive changes in your dating life.<br /><br />If you are interested in learning self hypnosis techniques, it is recommended that you get advice from certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. Hypnosis is not the only cure to all your problems but it is a good alternative that many people find effective.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-43181909357527652542008-07-31T01:31:00.000-07:002008-07-31T01:32:10.813-07:00Past Life Recall - For Greater Understanding Of OurselvesPast life recall is one of the most interesting areas of unexplained human phenomena, although scientific methods have not yet been able to prove or disprove it, the evidence on past live recall is compelling.<br /><br />Many people believe it can lead to a greater understanding of ourSelves.<br /><br />There are enough striking examples of past life recall to make the subject of interest to a great number of people worldwide, who want to understand their history and being in greater detail and gain a greater understanding of themselves.<br /><br />Under hypnosis, numerous people worldwide have recalled details of their previous lives, even taking on the personalities of their former selves.<br /><br />In these lives and for example, people have spoken in foreign languages or recalled amazing facts in great detail which when checked later are proved correct – Yet, they would have no way of knowing them.<br /><br />This is the fascination of past life recall.<br /><br />Many people who have studied claims of past life recall are undecided whether it is an historical recollection due to reincarnation, or simply information received from the subconscious mind.<br /><br />Past life recall generally comes about spontaneously and is more common in children than in adults.<br /><br />People who believe in reincarnation have concluded that this is because children are closer to their past lives (their younger in their new life) and their minds are therefore more likely to be influenced by their past lives, as they are simply closer to it.<br /><br />Their minds have not received significant inputs from their new life, making past life recall easier.<br /><br />If you believe in past life recall then you will believe in reincarnation and the law of karma, which are central beliefs of many Eastern religions.<br /><br />Reincarnation postulates that one can return to existence in a new physical form when after you die i.e. you are reincarnated as a human, animal or even vegetable.<br /><br />The form one takes, it is believed, is determined by the law of karma - That the higher or lower form one takes is due to one's behavior in the previous life.<br /><br />If you were bad in your previous life you will reap the consequences when you are reincarnated and the reverse is true:<br /><br />If you were good in your previous life you will come back in a higher form and live a happier life.<br /><br />Both reincarnation and karma are central to the theory of past life recall.<br /><br />Both adults and children who experience past life recall tend do so in three specific situations:<br /><br />1. Hypnosis<br /><br />2. Dreaming<br /><br />3. A Specific event that acts as a trigger i.e. a blow to the head.<br /><br />Past life recall for those who want to try it out without dreaming or a specific event normally consult a trained hypnotist who has experience of past life recall techniques.<br /><br />People want to explore past life recall and relive their past lives for a number of reasons.<br /><br />The most common is our need for greater understanding of the factors which have made us want we are today and this is heavily influenced by our past lives.<br /><br />Regression therapist’s aim is to help people regress and come to terms and understand their personalities and what makes them the way they are in their present life.<br /><br />Regression can help you understand yourself better:<br /><br />Your hopes, dreams, fears strengths and weaknesses can all benefit from past life recall therapy.<br /><br />If you are considering past life recall, make sure you find a hypnotist you trust and feel comfortable with and try and get as many testimonials as you can, so you can decide if past life recall is something you are totally at ease with before attempting it.<br /><br />for more on past life recall<br /><br />reincarnation, karma and a wide variety of alternative thought for greater personal understanding visit:<br /><a href="http://www.net-planet.org/newage.html">net-planet.org</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-49071425335322586922008-07-31T01:30:00.000-07:002008-07-31T01:31:09.312-07:00Past Life Regression in Hypnosis: Clearing Past Lives TraumaIn the first article in our past life regression series, we <br />discussed the question of whether a past life memory was <br />"real", that is could it be a historically valid recollection. <br />We also addressed the question of the validity of past life <br />regression (henceforth referred to as PLR) therapy as an <br />appropriate therapeutic intervention for client's problems. I <br />pointed out that PLR has become popularized by a number of <br />recent books. These books have proven the value of PLR as a <br />subject of historical research and as a sub-specialty of <br />Hypnotherapy. As PLR is still in its infancy, therapists have <br />only begun to explore its potential as a technology for <br />helping people with their problems.<br /><br />In order to develop a more systematic and scientific approach <br />to PLR as a valid form of therapy, I have developed five new <br />procedures for PLR therapy for different types of <br />interventions. These include: healing past life trauma, <br />discovering creative abilities from past lives, healing our <br />karmic transgression from past lives, altering contracts with <br />significant others from past lives, and changing the <br />preconception contract that we made with our higher self just <br />prior to entering this life. In the next several articles, I <br />will address each of these procedures in detail, along with <br />examples of their effectiveness in real client situations.<br /><br />One of the best known forms of PLR is working with traumatic <br />memories from past lives. We use this method for discovering <br />the source in the subconscious mind of an emotional or <br />physical problem. Or we can look at the source of a core <br />belief in the client's subconscious mind which is limiting <br />their success in life. Some examples could include a phobic <br />reaction such as a fear of entering the water, not explained <br />by any present life experience, or a pain or disease which a <br />client was born with, or a limiting core belief that "anyone I <br />love will always abandon me." The procedure for accessing <br />these memories is simple, and is often quite effective whether <br />the client believes in past lives or not. We simply use a <br />standard induction technique combined with instructions that <br />the subconscious mind will now take us to the source of the <br />client's presenting problem. The hard part, which requires <br />substantial training, is knowing what to do when the memories <br />emerge.<br /><br />An example is a client whose life-long fear of water has kept <br />her from swimming. The instructions were simple: "Let's go <br />into hypnosis now ... back to the time when you first became <br />afraid of the water". While many clients will return to <br />terrifying experiences from their current childhood, many <br />others will, without any previous discussion of "past lives", <br />go back to a past life memory. Frequently, the incident ended <br />in death. If so, we simply review the circumstances of that <br />death, the meaning that death had for the client, and what <br />decision was made by the client after death and carried from <br />then on. To continue my water phobia example:<br /><br />the client goes back to a recent past life where she drowned <br />in a fast-flowing river and lost her 2 young children when her <br />boat capsized. After feeling the terrible pain of this loss <br />(not only of her own life, but her children's!) we move <br />forward to her death, and the decision she made at the time: <br />"I'll never go in the water again!" We then have the <br />opportunity to "solve" the situation using one or more of the <br />following techniques.<br /><br />With the therapists help, she can convince her past life <br />personality (PLP) that this decision is no longer necessary, <br />and help her PLP to change it. (She may simply vow never to <br />travel on big, dangerous rivers again in a small boat?)<br /><br />We need in some cases to allow the client to express their <br />grief, anger, and or remorse to significant others and allow <br />the others to respond. ("I'm sorry I took this boat and <br />drowned you my darling children! Sob. Can you forgive me? - <br />Pause - Yes, they forgive me. I feel such a burden lifted!")<br /><br />In some cases, we can even rescue the PLP, and allow that <br />person to live out the remainder of their lives in safety and <br />harmony. This allows them to complete and resolve the feelings <br />of incompleteness that often result from a sudden death. ("Now <br />I'm seeing myself swimming to shore with my children. Now I'm <br />seeing how happy we are in our new home on the western <br />frontier. What a happy life...now the children are leaving <br />home...I'm dying of old age...how complete this feels!") This <br />client chose all of these 3 methods, and was able to swim in <br />deep water and without fear within a few hours of her session.<br /><br />In some cases, we can rescue the past life personality and <br />bring this person forward to the present life. My favorite <br />example is a client who was blocked by a deep but persistent <br />fear of building a practice as a hypnotherapist. In going back <br />to where she discovered that it was dangerous to be a healer, <br />she returned to an extremely painful experience of being <br />burned as a witch. First, we examined her post-death decision <br />- "I'll never heal anyone again!" Her past life self was at <br />first unwilling to change the decision. After all, she had <br />once been a beloved healer in her community, before it turned <br />against her under the influence of the Inquisition. Only when <br />we told her about California's totally accepting culture and <br />invited her former self to join my client in a safe new life <br />as a hypnotherapist in California, did she brighten up, and <br />step up to the 20th century bringing with her those healing <br />abilities from her past. Within 3 months, she had set up a <br />highly successful hypnosis clinic.<br /><br />Within these deceptively simple procedures lie a nearly <br />endless collection of possibilities. The easiest way for the <br />PLR therapist to sort through these choices is simply to ask <br />the client, "What would you like to do with this memory? How <br />can we change this decision, or this experience that will feel <br />right to you?"<br /><br />Until recently, most PLR therapists had no training in <br />altering either the core decisions the client made in a past <br />life or in changing the memories from past lives. This is why <br />many of my clients have said to me that they've seen a <br />particular memory in a previous PLR session, but it didn't <br />solve their problem. Now, after experiencing these methods <br />applied to their memory, everything is different.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-58611671951500404902008-07-31T01:24:00.000-07:002008-07-31T01:30:16.052-07:00NLP – 8 Techniques to Reframe a bad past experience of your Life for a Brighter SideAt the end of this article, you will be amazed to find out a new YOU. You may not be aware but whatever you do, is in one way or the other is connected to your past life experiences. NLP discloses a small secret to you that your positive past experience can guide you positively in your life on the contrary the negative past experience can block your path of progress. It is a proven fact.<br /><br />Sometimes it has been evident that a person knows what he wants out of his life and the ways to achieve that goal in his life. Yet he is unsuccessful in his life. Do you know what made him unsuccessful in achieving his target? His past experiences are not allowing to move ahead in life.<br /><br />Every one has a darker side in their lives. You must have suffered a situation when you where terribly hurted. NLP states that you were not unfortunate because you suffered a bad experience, but you are unfortunate because you are allowing that bad experience to still reside in you. Good and bad times are the part of life. Abraham Lincoln faced grievances in his life but still he was successful. In fact, he was successful because he experienced the grievances in his life.<br /><br />The most unfortunate thing is that your past experiences hurted you in the past and they are still hurting you as they compel to pass by the opportunities that you deserve. NLP can help you frame your experiences in the new way for the brighter side of your life.<br /><br />All you have to do is to follow the NLP exercise, so that the thought of your bad experience may not disturb you anymore:<br /><br />Step 1. Choose a comfortable place: Sit in a comfortable position where you are not disturbed. Make yours self completely relaxed and calm.<br /><br />Step 2.: Recall the past memory of the event with NLP: Now, think about the matter, which is disturbing you. Recall the time when you faced that situation. Go back to that time when you actually faced that in your life. As you recall the past scene, use all your senses to recollect the event. This is one of the most powerful technique in NLP:<br /><br />1. See (the people around you) <br />2. Hear sounds <br />3. Feel (either you are tense or upset) <br />4. Smell or taste<br /><br />With NLP Relate your event with all your sensory organs. This is one of the popular NLP technique of recalling the past events of your life. This way you will easily find out the way in which it affects you.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-48056550624230267362008-07-31T01:23:00.001-07:002008-07-31T01:23:48.838-07:00Practicing Meditation With PetsThe following is a meditation story and an experiment for pet owners. The common practice is to leave pets aside while meditating. It has been my observation that most pets tend to approach us calmly, while we are meditating. If a young puppy is in this house, this may not always be so, but mature dogs develop a good sense about when humans need space.<br /><br />In the case of domestic cats, it has been my experience that they were attracted, like magnets, to the human who is practicing meditation. If this disturbs you, by all means close the door to the room you are meditating in, but do not be surprised if your cat lightly scratches or cries on the other side of the door. Sometimes, dogs react in a similar manner.<br /><br />At one time, we had five cats in our house - three lived upstairs and two lived downstairs. Cats can sometimes be very territorial in regard to their floor or space. Unlike dogs, cats do not usually have a pack leader or a collective social network. Some cats prefer their own company, but usually acknowledge the humans who feed them.<br /><br />Although I practice meditation in many places, I usually meditate on the living room floor in the morning, at night, or both. There are no doors to the living room, so the cats have free access. Since the beginning of practicing meditation on the floor, the cats sit on the floor within arms reach. <br />When we had five cats, it was not uncommon for them to declare a truce and park themselves next to the meditating human. Interestingly, they would begin to purr in unison.<br /><br />For cats, purring is their sign of pure contentment. After the meditation session was over, everything gradually went back to normal and their territorial boundaries resumed. It seems that our meditation practice affects everything around us for the best.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-77285911298312440702008-07-31T01:22:00.000-07:002008-07-31T11:13:46.805-07:00MeditationEach of us will approach this issue differently. For some of us, the particular place where we mediate daily is very important. Some people decorate the place where they meditate to resemble a special place, a holy place, or a retreat.<br /><br />If you choose to create a meditation space, it must be free from clutter. The reason being, clutter can stir up negative feelings, which disrupt your daily sessions. An open space, that is free of clutter, works best for most of us.<br /><br />Some meditation practitioners take special care to practice in areas that are free from telephones and communication devices. To continue with this point, many of us need to unplug ourselves from technology. Unless you are on call 24 hours a day, you should leave communication devices aside during your practice.<br /><br />If you practice a form of walking meditation, the idea of creating a special place for meditation, may seem to be a waste of time. In fact, meditation can be practiced at any time, in any place, but the meditative experience itself will vary with your practice and surroundings.<br /><br />Motivation is a life-changing force. When a practitioner realizes the benefits of meditation, and becomes motivated enough to create a sacred space for it, chances are that he or she will continue to practice for years to come.<br /><br />One advantage to making a place for your meditation practice is when circumstances change. Sometimes, our sleep patterns change or the weather becomes rough. At that point, it is nice to sit in a quiet place and meditate in a special place.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263786865260239296.post-13604601825926787202008-07-31T01:20:00.000-07:002008-07-31T01:22:37.957-07:00The Advantages of a Meditation ChairAmong the most difficult aspects of meditating is discovering the perfect seated posture, since your legs often fall asleep during an extended period of meditating. Although there are meditation cushions to be had, there are many people who choose to use a meditation chair instead.<br /><br />If you examine a meditation chair, the first thing you'll discover is that it doesn't seem that different from a kitchen chair. It has four legs and a back. But what it does better is help make you more comfy by molding to your body, which keeps cramps at bay and allows for total relaxation.<br /><br />The stuff that makes this happen is known as buckwheat hull. It adapts to your form, thereby offering a more solid seat due to the ergonomic design which stops the user from slumping throughout the most focused periods of meditation, because it's tilted somewhat forward.<br /><br />A good illustration of a meditation chair is the Seagrass. This product was conceived by a meditation practitioner who found that it was quite challenging to meditate when seated in a lotus pose. This chair permits you to cross your ankles or feet and draw them up if you're weary of laying them on the floor. As well, it allows for appropriate support of the backbone so you won't go through any back pain following the session.<br /><br />The Chinese meditation chair is possibly the most ancient model as it has been in existence for hundreds of years. It does not possess ergonomic characteristics such as the ones we use these days, however it boasts an especially wide base so that you have enough space to cross your legs. It doesn't come with any padding, however you'll be able to quickly take care of that.<br /><br />One more type of meditation chair is the Tilt Seat, also called the kneeling chair. The great thing about this meditation chair is that it doesn't place pressure on the knees and could also be utilized as a table. It's possible to comfortably read a book if you lay a pillow on the floor.<br /><br />There are more meditation chairs to be had and they are available in assorted sizes and shapes. An alternative for those who desire something larger is the meditation bench. With the greater surface area, those who favor the lotus position can sit without placing pressure on the legs. Something like it is known as the cane chair.<br /><br />While picking out the perfect meditation chair, you are advised to take into account your body size and height, as well as your need for comfort. Do not overlook back support because this will also help to enhance your posture.<br /><br />The beauty of meditation chairs is that they're lightweight and movable. They could effortlessly be stashed away in a closet after you're finished, or it's possible to purchase styles that harmonize with your interior design.<br /><br />The meditation chair is configured to keep you relaxed and comfortable during the time that you're in session. If you're committed to enhancing your health and fighting stress, purchasing a meditation chair will certainly be a wise investment.<br /><br />Keira Adams writes about women's wellness and stress management.

Let me elaborate.<br /><br />Universe is energy. This was demonstrated by science. Quantum Physics showed that there is no hard matter inside the atom: just various forms of energy. These energies are just particularizations of a basic state of matter called quantum field. This filed fills all the Universe. There is no such a thing as empty space in the Universe. Planets would not hold together around the sun if that was the case.<br /><br />Most interesting, the quantum physicists were surprised to find out that the output of the experiments they ran were influenced by the observer ("observer effect"). Not subjectively as the in interpretation of the results or magnetic field interaction, but objectively as hard evidence that thoughts (what else does the observer create), bear energy that influenced the experiment. Translated in real life this means that our thoughts create reality indeed.<br /><br />Are you still with me? Well, it was not simple to digest this for me either. OK, forget about the scientific mumbo jumbo. More down to earth, is easier to accept that once your mind is focused on a certain (desired) output, it segregates among choices and selects the favorable situations that will eventually help you to achieve your goals. This was easier to comprehend wasn't it?<br /><br />Once accepted that your thoughts influence reality, than the most important thing becomes controlling your thoughts and focusing on the relevant thoughts for the reality you want to create.<br /><br />Your mind is distracted all the time. Random thoughts, difficult to control and manage. A typical (untrained person) can not focus on a specific object (thought) more than few seconds at a time. And this precisely where meditation comes into the picture. It has a three fold benefit:<br /><br /><br />Meditation helps increasing the focus and awareness. At the beginning of your meditation practice you become aware of what your mind does and bring it back to your focus. With practice (sorry, not in two weeks though) you will be able to concentrate longer and longer on a certain thought and this has the effect of a magnifying glass under sun: it creates energy (caloric in that case). <br />Meditation creates the mind setup (a.k.a. the right mood) to take action and translates your thoughts in reality. Sorry to disappoint you but, the Universe will not bring it to you. This is the big deception in The Secret. You have to take action and go out there and get it. Well, meditation creates the motivation behind your actions. <br />Meditation makes you more aware of your emotions (not emotionless though). So your decisions or choices are more objective. You sleep over it, if you wish in a short time frame. <br /><br />There are some simple meditation techniques you can implement in your daily routine. Twenty minutes of meditation every day go a long way. Even more, there are alternative means that can create a similar mind state with meditation a lot faster than classical meditation. During this state if you focus on the object you want to be manifested in your life, the effect of meditation increases exponentially.<br /><br />For details on how to use meditation to help manifest the reality you desire please check: <a href="http://www.better-mind.com/Manifestation-meditation/Manifestation-brainwave-meditation.html">Manifestation meditation</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
