      MEDITATION PRELIMINARIES

      You are about to explore a new world, a new universe all its own—the world of your inner being. This world is available to anyone who will take the time to become aware. By opening to your inner self, you bring a new consciousness into every aspect of your life. You begin to live a more fulfilled existence and a happier life.

      Nowadays it seems that the world is spinning out of control with one tragedy after another, and our safety and security can no longer be taken for granted. Yet amid this outer turmoil, there is a place where we can find peace and understanding and a world of unlimited potential and promise. This safe haven of beauty and love lies inside ourselves. You and I are multidimensional beings residing in a divine universe. This is our true reality and our spiritual birthright. When we turn off the outer physical world and tune in to the silence of this inner beauty, we will find the peace that surpasses all understanding.

      The easiest and most dependable way to tune inside is through meditation. Meditation is a process whereby we balance our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual selves in the silence of our natural state of being. It is here that we will find the safety and security we seek. When we meditate or concentrate our energies on the spiritual nature within us, we will learn to recognize the oneness and wholeness of all of life.

      Meditation is a way to move into a consciousness of real knowing. As we sit silently and focus our attention inwardly, we start to become aware of our true self. The more we meditate, the stronger this awareness becomes, and the more we are able to let go of our stress and deal with life’s situations with ease and certainty. Our doubts, insecurities, and anxieties diminish in size because we no longer feel separated from our good. If you meditate every day, you will definitely feel better about your life.

      When you meditate, you activate cosmic energies. These forces illuminate and energize the spiritual centers inside the body. The light of unconditional love is lit within you and continues to grow with each meditation. The more you transform yourself through this light of unconditional love, the more you can influence others in a positive way.

      When you begin your inner work, you need first to make a clear dedication to yourself. You must be motivated to work on yourself, but without a particular goal. Any time you pursue a meditative practice, you are making a commitment to understand yourself more fully as a spiritual being. This takes time, even lifetimes. Be patient with your practice.

      There is no one way to meditate. When people hear the word meditation, they think of sitting cross-legged on the floor, incense burning, candles lit, and someone chanting Om. This is one way of meditating. However, meditation has many forms. Prayer is a form of meditation. When you pray, you focus on God. You surrender your burdens to the divine and ask for assistance in your life situations. When you meditate, you surrender your outer world to be in your inner world. Meditation is not about brooding over problems and running them over in your head. That is neither prayer nor meditation; it is simply spinning your wheels.

      Another way you can meditate is by tapping in to your creative energies, such as by writing, painting, and music. There are a variety of meditative processes whereby you focus your mind inwardly. Go with whatever works for you.
