How important is meditation in your life
Sorry the title did not upload
This thread is for those who meditate and also those who don't think its important. I am curious about those of the collective avalon mind who have experienced the inner stillness of peace from meditation with no thought and also how often do you meditate and methods of meditation that you find effective.If you can't quiet your mind discuss why.

I try to meditate 20 min each day. I use a hebrew form of vowelmeditation. Basic chakra targeting by connecting these to vibrational sounds. Works great as a "time to reset". It keeps your conciousness grounded to the now.

Re: bb
I meditate two or three hours a day and do a system called Quan Yin, which is a light and sound meditation. I have been truly blessed in my pactice and have gone to places in my mediation that are beyond words.
In my opinion, meditation is the single most imporant thing that people can do to improve their lives and the lives of the people around them. Especially, living in the world as it is now we are changing and the world is changing and to keep up with and prepare for the change meditation is the key. Peace...Tao |

Re: bb
I do not meditate as in the Eastern meditation of finding say an empty mind any longer, and it has never done as much for me as what I do now anyway.
Basically according to a Clarivoyent, I was starting at square one, and basically had great connection with my higher self by default and I was recreating the wheel, since my "web like" spiritual progression is almost complete. So first not everyone needs to meditate. You need to get a sense of where you are at. Now I tend to use intention. I might sit coomfortable as when I used to meditate, but now I set an intention, and visualize that to the creator or higher entities who have my higher good at heart. Robert Monroe had some great thoughts on this intent statement. Now I think though that people who have no awareness of higher self connection existence really need to start with meditation. Now, but now I find that a good portion of my day I am in a meditative state when out and about. So therefore I live more in that intention of a higher self during the day, which mean the meditative stance is not as important for me to set an intent to creator and my manifestation. Regardless, I think that unless you are at least delving into at least something spiritually, no matter what you do, you just might not be able to make the transition and stay on the planet. You might have to leave, not that it would be a bad think to leave, it might be better, but since you chose to come here why not go the whole way and maximize your current manifestation. You have a front row seat. I think that almost everyone here has chosen most likely to live right where at this time to transition this world at this time. Therefore I would say many of us have connection to source by default. You just need to remember that, so do what you think will remind you of what you already know. |

Re: bb
The Japa Meditation that I learned by listening to Dr. Wayne Dyer's CD called "Meditation for Manifestation" is important in my life. By doing this meditation for 10-20 min per day a drastic increase in conection to source happens. It can be felt in as little as the first couple weeks.

Re: How important is meditation in your life
I have practiced meditation for the last ten years and i love it. In fact it's one of my favourite things to do. Because of time restraints i cannot do it every day, but i try to meditate at least five times a week. A session usually lasts 40 minutes these days. I couldn't imagine life without it.

Re: How important is meditation in your life
I wish I meditated. I couldn't count how many times I've tried it, but I can't get my mind to shut up long enough to get anything accomplished.

I feel that its there I can reach the inner self. Perhaps you experienced meditaters could tell if you distinguish any difference between these states of awareness? |

Re: How important is meditation in your life
I have practiced Transcendental Meditation for about 8 years now and it has been the most life changing experience. It has helped me to overcome a 20+ years alcoholism problem when nothing else worked. I would never have thought that someone like me could sit still and meditate ~ the bliss that can be obtained sometimes is just unbelievable - I feel truly blessed to have discovered this gift.
A great thread, thank you. In Peace |

The way I was taught (from listening to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi) it doesn't matter if your mind keeps chattering, just let it be and keep quietly returning to your mantra (or whatever method you are using) don't force it or feel stressed. The thoughts will come and go, let them and gradually it will become easier... |

Re: How important is meditation in your life
Robert Monroe, who is no longer with us here on this dimension anyway, has a great process where you visualize a treasure box and put all your stuff in there before you meditate. I found it good so if you get a chance and see some of his casettes in a used book store, put it out to the universe and see if they show up, try the process. It works.

Re: How important is meditation in your life
Meditation is the key to who I am spiritually. It is the key to who I am.

Re: How important is meditation in your life
I meditate as often as possible, while walking, working, whatever I'm doing as long as I'm alone with no distractions.

Re: How important is meditation in your life
Thanks everyone - I hope this thread keeps going as it is beautiful to hear about others experiences during meditation. Perhaps some of you would like to share them in detail.
Peace and harmony to all |

Re: How important is meditation in your life

I do not set aside daily time for meditation per se. Once or twice a week works well for me. However I do try to bring meditation into my daily life, and I do it by using breathing exercises while I am going about my daily activities - doing almost anything really, except maybe talking with someone. In the simplest words, this involves filling your mind with awareness of your breathing. As the conscious mind fills with this single thing, other things go on automatic pilot or simply fade away. This is how I begin a real meditation session, too. In this way I find it easy to maintain a detached state of near-bliss and still remain aware and responsive. In a set-aside meditation session, I will continue with this exercise until I become completely detached and in a trance state, but it's possible to hold this empty fullness during an ordinary day, and I find that a valuable practice. The next step is to let my spirit or my awareness go where it always wants to, which is that dimension I call the Sacred Love Matrix, which is where everything is connected and has common cause. From here, meditation can lead in many directions, but I always spend time breathing Love. Sometimes it's directed, sometimes it's just all-inclusive. This grounds me, keeps me where I want to be, and lets my creativity flow. Last edited by whitecrow; 11-08-2008 at 10:58 PM. Reason: just a little, for clarity |

Re: How important is meditation in your life
After many years of putting aside my spiritual curiousity I began to take up meditation again. My experiences were life changing. I began to have visions while meditating. I guess my third eye had opened for the first time in my life. I'd always had a keen intuitive sense but never visions of any kind. My first vision was that of an oborous, a red and a black snake in the shape of a circle swallowing each other's tail. From that experience my whole life changed and visions are frequent now.
