MAGICAL
MEDITATION
Meditation is often misunderstood. Yet
it’s a vital key to living a more successful and enlightened life. If our
society were to grasp its true value, we’d teach it in school and make it central
to daily life.
The practice of meditation has many
proven positive biological and psychological effects – reducing stress,
sharpening mental focus, increasing effectiveness and creativity, improving physical
health and extending life, as well as paving the way for consciousness developments
that further human evolution and create a better world. But to gain all these benefits,
it helps to have a clear understanding of what
meditation is … and how to practice it most
effectively.
Essentially, meditation is a method
for shifting to a deeply peaceful and sublime consciousness state that
temporarily weakens reactive mental mechanisms (sub-wills). It ‘lifts’ us from
our usual ego-biased state to a purer, more objective and intuitively open
state … whereby we can perceive reality more truthfully and fully, feel more
positive and compassionate, act more constructively and wisely, live at a
highly inspired and energetic level and know our true creative nature and great
potential.
Some meditators are unable to fully
achieve all these benefits because they use a limited meditation technique, or
they don’t meditate regularly or deeply enough or they treat meditation as an
isolated ritualistic practice separate from everyday living.
To
overcome some of these limitations, I recommend practicing OPELI MEDITATION and
applying the higher consciousness state it produces to every aspect of daily
life.
OPELI is a five-part soul-focusing technique
(see my 8/12/12 posting); it not only focuses and quiets the mind, as do other
meditative techniques, but it also focuses our intuitive energetic body (soul) –
the true locus of spiritual empowerment.
As we bring this more fully focused self
to bear in daily life, its wondrous ‘magic’ takes hold, concretely manifesting
and fulfilling true soul desires.
