| " Life Begins With The First Breath And Much To Often We Forget Proper Breathing. So How Can We Remain Healthy? Have You Ever Watched A New Born Baby Breathing? It Breathes Through The Lower Abdomen! Proper Breathing Is A Prelude To Real Meditation. Without The Proper Breathing Techniques Meditation Is Impossible ! | Sit Or Lie In A Comfortable Position Place Both hands
On The Abdomen. As You Breathe In Threw The Nostrils Pretend That You Have
A Balloon Inside Your Belly And As You Inhale Fill Up The Balloon (You
Should Feel Your Belly Rising Up) Exhale Your Breath Through The Mouth
And Empty The Balloon (You Should feel Your Belly Deflating) When
You are Comfortable With This Type Of Breathing Start To Regulate The Breath.
Inhale Through The Nose For 5 Seconds, Hold It For 2 Seconds, Then Release
It Through The Mouth For 5 Seconds, Then When Empty Hold It For 2 Seconds.
This Is One Round Of Breathing. Practice This Until You Are Breathing Naturally
Like This all the Time. This May Take Awhile To Accomplish So Please Be
Patient!
WHEN YOU HAVE MASTERED THIS ENTER THE MEDIATION |
| " Prayer"
Is A Positive Energy! ThereFore You Should Say A Short Prayer Before Starting. You ShouldAsk For Guidance And Wisdom Before Meditating ! |
| Basic Meditation
(TO GET TO BEFRIEND WHAT IS WITHIN OUR SELVES) Meditation Is Not Staring At An Object It Is Not Self Hypnosis But Rather It Is An Inward Journey To Learning About Self ! May Your Journey Be Rewarding " All Of ManKind Was created In The Creator`s Image ThereFore To Know Your Creator You Must First Know Yourself." |

Step 1
| Meditation Can Be Done From Many Positions Some Prefer To Kneel, Some Prefer To Sit Cross Legged And Some Lie Down. The Important Thing For a Beginner Is To Be Comfortable. You Should Not Meditate On A Full Stomach Or An Empty Stomach. Clothing Should Not Be To Tight Or To Loose. Room Temperature Should Not Be To Hot Or To Cool. The Room Should Not Be To Bright Or To Dark But Should Be As Quiet As Possible With Minimum Distractions. Always Meditate In The Same Place If Possible Because The Mind Will Soon Make A Connection To What You Are Doing And It Will Take Less Time To Relax And Prepare |
Step 2
| Start By Rubbing Your Feet For A Few Minutes To Get Your Energy Flowing. Then Rub Your Palms Together Right Hand Moving ClockWise Until They Feel Very Hot.When Hands Feel Hot Place Your Palms Over Your Kidneys This Will Help Stimulate The Adrenal Glands.Next In A Comfortable Position (I Prefer Lying Down) Start Your Abdominal Breathing. Inhale For 5 Seconds Hold It For 2 Seconds Exhale For 5 Seconds Hold It For 2 Seconds (This Count Is Crucial To Proper Meditation) Repeat Breathing.Next Start At Your Feet And Tense Them And Hold A Few Seconds Then Release Work Your Way Up The Whole Body Legs,Arms,Hands,Neck, Back And Finally Stopping At The Abdomen.This Will Help To Relax And Release Tension. |
Step 3
| With Your
Eyes Closed Very Lightly Just So There Is A Crack Of Light Coming Through
PlaceThe Tip Of Your Tongue Lightly On The Roof Of Your Mouth Just Past
The Teeth.StartYour Breathing Keeping The Proper Count And Follow Your
Breath All The Way Down Into Your Belly And Then Back Out Again.
As Long As Your Mind Has One Thing And Only One Thing To Focus On All Other Though Will Cease To Exist But At First There Will Be All Kinds Of Distractions. You May Find That All Of A Sudden Your Nose Is Itchy Or That You Have To Go To The Bathroom After Just Going. These Are Normal Distractions And Will Happen. Just Recognize It For What It Is And Go Back To Focusing On Your Breath.Start To Withdraw All Of Your Senses Beginning With Your Sense Of Touch Until All Your Senses Are Gone. At This Point You Should Be Going Into Yourself (This Is Known As Being One With Self Or Being In The Spirit) It Is Like Finding A Place Or A Closet Deep Within YourSelf And It Is So Very Peacful You Will Never Want To Leave But You Will. It Is Hard To Describe It So You Will Have To Experience It For Your Self. |
Step 4
| Upon Completion Of Meditation One Should Do A Bit Of Stretching To Bring Circulation Back To The Body.Sit Very Quietly For A Few Moments And Contemplate What You Have Experienced. |

Step 2
| To Pronounce a Mantra First Inhale As Deeply As Possible Then Let 1/3 Of Your Breath Out On The First Syllable And The Remaining 2/3 out On The Second Syllable The Mantra Should Be Vocalized For 2 To 3 Minutes Then Place All Your Awareness In The Center you are Working On And Hold It There For 15 To20 Minutes.You Will Recognize The Center By Its Colour And Symbols.While Meditating On Your Centers Your Breath Count Should Be The Same As In Basic Meditation. Is For Balancing The Mind This One Should Be Done For A Few Minutes To Prepare Yourself For Meditation On The Centers.Remember To Reverse The Order And Bring The Energy Back to Its Seat Of Power At The Base Of The Spine |
