Thoughts on Meditation

I love to acknowledge that there are many, many different types of meditation. The intentions, goals, methods, modes, and positions are variable. Many teachers teach one way and expect students to follow that way. It is certainly valid to follow one approach as a discipline. Just remember, that there are many different approaches that are valid.

Every business day, in telephone consultations, I lead clients in a process I call “Focused Energy Work.” Even when my words of guidance are similar, the process is different. The client is different, the day is different, I am different, the setting is different, so, of course, the process is different.

Focused Energy Work is a phrase I coined several years ago to apply to a specialized type of guided meditation that I’ve developed. Prior to that, I usually called it a “Centering Activity” or simply “Centering,” either of which are particularly appropriate terms in corporate settings. I also often called it “Guided Meditation.” Clients have their own favorite names, including “that thing you do.”

The phrase emerged because I wanted to distinguish between doing “energy work” — which is ongoing regardless of the conversation — and doing a process that focuses just on the energy work while the client is in a meditative state. Voila! My need to make a distinction brought the phrase right into my view: Focused Energy Work.

In a one-hour consulting session, I typically do the Focused Energy Work process in about twenty minutes. That seems the optimal time. I can and have done it in time frames from 60 seconds to 60 minutes. The time frames on the extreme ends are only effective for the more experienced meditators. Some of my regular clients request that I record 3-5 minutes of the Focused Energy Work process on their voice mail systems so that they can save and listen repeatedly to the messages.

People respond favorable to this process regardless of their previous experience with meditation. On several occasions, experienced meditators have commented on how powerful it is for them and that surely anyone who is not an experienced meditator could not possibly benefit as much. Interestingly, I have worked with many people who have never before meditated and most go into a very deep state of meditation within five minutes their very first time.

This is a time when so, so many people are asking themselves and each other what they really want to do with their lives. Most people do not ask me that question because it is obvious; when asked, my answer is that I am doing what I really, really want to do. I want to do more, more, more, of course, but I love what I do. And it is a pleasure to share what I do with so many others.
