Thoughts on Meditation

Meditation is a Quiet Revolution. People are meditating on trains and planes, as they jog or hike, in their showers and gardens, and in the middle of a workday. Meditation quiets the mind, but doesn't really stop it because the mind is designed for thinking.

I define meditation broadly, more in terms of its essence than its form. Meditation is a state of consciousness rather than about time, place, activity, position, quietness, or stillness. Meditation calms you, focuses your attention, enhances your relationships, and helps you be more receptive to energy and imagery.

During a meditative experience, it's most advantageous to focus on a non-contradictory thought or subject. Examples are: a silently repeated mantra; a soothing sound (music, a constant or rhythmic noise, a voice in guided meditation); an interesting visual image, such as a Mandela or sphere. If you prefer open-eye meditation, focus on a burning candle, a swaying tree, or grains of sand on a beach. If you prefer moving while meditating, focus on your footsteps or a rolling brook.

People relate differently to meditation. Some experience detached sensations or feelings of lightness; others experience euphoria; others lose consciousness and awaken to expanded consciousness. Some feel calm afterwards; others feel exhilarated. Some are more aware of their physical senses; others transcend their physical senses. Some fall asleep; some awaken. Meditation may be universal, yet it's still a highly personal experience.

Before, during, and after meditation are fertile times to work with empowering images. Some people open themselves to receiving empowering images in their meditative awareness; others focus on previously identified empowering images to lift their consciousness during meditation. Images give the mind a place to rest.
