Meditation ~ Types of Meditation

falun dafa

There are so many different types of Meditation. You can find the one that’s right for you. To get your search started, here are six types of meditation you can try.

1. Breath Watching Meditation: Can meditating be as simple as paying attention to your breath for a few minutes? You bet. Relax in whatever position works best for you, close your eyes and start to pay attention to your breathing. Breathing through your nose gets your diaphragm involved and gets oxygen all the way to the bottom of your lungs. As your mind wanders, just re-focus your attention on the air going in and out of your nose. Just do this for several minutes, or longer as you get used to it.

2. An Empty Mind Meditation: Meditating can create a kind of “awareness without object,” an emptying of all thoughts from your mind. The techniques for doing this involve sitting still, often in a “full lotus” or cross-legged position, and letting the mind go silent on its own. It can be difficult, particularly since any effort seems to just cause more business in the mind.

3. Walking Meditations: This one gets the body involved. It can be outside or simply as a back and forth pacing in a room. Pay attention to the movement of your legs and breathing and body as you walk, and to the feeling of your feet contacting the ground. When your mind wanders, just keep bringing it back to the process of walking and breathing. Meditating outside in this way can be difficult because of the distractions. If you do it outside, find a quiet place with level ground.

4. Mindfulness Meditation: A practice Buddhists call Vipassana or Insight Meditation, mindfulness is the art of becoming deeply aware of what is here right now. You focus on what’s happening in and around you at this very moment, and become aware of all the thoughts and feelings that are taking your energy from moment to moment. You can start by watching your breath, and then move your attention to the thoughts going through your mind, the feelings in your body, and even the sounds and sights around you. The key is to watch without judging or analyzing.

5. Simple Mantra Meditation: Many people find it easier to keep their mind from wandering if they concentrate on something specific. A mantra can help. This is a word or phrase you repeat as you sit in meditation, and is chosen for you by an experienced master in some traditions. If you are working on this alone, you can use any word or phrase that works for you, and can choose to either repeat it aloud or in your head as you meditate.

6. Meditating on a Concept: Some meditative practices involve contemplation of an idea or scenario. An example is the “meditation on impermanence,” in which you focus on the impermanent nature of all things, starting with your thoughts and feelings as they come and go. In the Buddhist “meditation on the corpse,” you think about a body in the ground, as it slowly rots away and is fed on by worms. The technique is used to guide you to an understanding that your rationalizing mind might not bring you to.

There are many other meditations you can try, such as the “meditation on loving-kindness” or “object” meditation, and even meditating using brain wave entrainment products. Each type has its own advantages and effects. For this reason, you may find that at different times and for different purposes you want to use several different types of meditation.

 

MEDITATION FOR CESSATION OF THE FLOOD AND ASSISTANCE FOR THE PEOPLE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR …

Tibetan-children
We are chanting the Green Tara mantra for the people of India and Pakistan and for the region …

In Tibetan, we chant “Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha” … In Sanskrit, it is “Oṃ Tāre Tuttāre Ture Svāhā”.

Tibetan culture, and some others, green is considered to include all the other colors.

The practice of Green Tara helps to overcome fear and anxiety, but devotees also believe that she can grant wishes, eliminate suffering of all kinds and bring happiness.

When called upon, she instantaneously saves us from eight specific calamities. (Another lineage describes 16.) The First Dalai Lama lists the 8, and interprets them as representative of corresponding defects, flaws, or obscurations: 1) lions and pride 2) wild elephants and delusions 3) forest fires and hatred 4) snakes and envy 5) robbers and fanatical views 6) prisons and avarice 7) floods and lust 8) demons and doubt.

MANTRA:
OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA

OM represents Tara’s sacred body, speech and mind.

TARE means liberating from all discontent.

TUTTARE means liberating from the eight fears, the external dangers, but mainly from the internal dangers, the delusions.

TURE means liberating from duality; it shows the true cessation of confusion.

SOHA means “may the meaning of the mantra take root in my mind.”

Seeds for Meditation ~ “A Newly Rich Life With Yourself,” by Martha Nussbaum

O WildeDo not despise your inner world. That is the first and most general piece of advice I would offer. Our society is very outward-looking, very taken up with the latest new object, the latest piece of gossip, the latest opportunity for self-assertion and status. But we all begin our lives as helpless babies, dependent on others for comfort, food, and survival itself. And even though we develop a degree of mastery and independence, we always remain alarmingly weak and incomplete, dependent on others and on an uncertain world for whatever we are able to achieve.

As we grow, we all develop a wide range of emotions responding to this predicament: fear that bad things will happen and that we will be powerless to ward them off; love for those who help and support us; grief when a loved one is lost; hope for good things in the future; anger when someone else damages something we care about. Our emotional life maps our incompleteness: A creature without any needs would never have reasons for fear, or grief, or hope, or anger. But for that very reason we are often ashamed of our emotions, and of the relations of need and dependency bound up with them. […] People don’t know how to deal with their own emotions, or to communicate them to others. When they are frightened, they don’t know how to say it, or even to become fully aware of it. Often they turn their own fear into aggression. Often, too, this lack of a rich inner life catapults them into depression in later life. We are all going to encounter illness, loss, and aging, and we’re not well prepared for these inevitable events by a culture that directs us to think of externals only, and to measure ourselves in terms of our possessions of externals.

What is the remedy of these ills? A kind of self-love that does not shrink from the needy and incomplete parts of the self, but accepts those with interest and curiosity, and tries to develop a language with which to talk about needs and feelings. Storytelling plays a big role in the process of development. As we tell stories about the lives of others, we learn how to imagine what another creature might feel in response to various events. At the same time, we identify with the other creature and learn something about ourselves. As we grow older, we encounter more and more complex stories — in literature, film, visual art, music — that give us a richer and more subtle grasp of human emotions and of our own inner world.

So my second piece of advice, closely related to the first, is: Read a lot of stories, listen to a lot of music, and think about what the stories you encounter mean for your own life and lives of those you love. In that way, you will not be alone with an empty self; you will have a newly rich life with yourself, and enhanced possibilities of real communication with others.

—–

Discussion about enjoying A Newly Rich Life With Yourself:

1 – What do you understand by a self-love that does not shrink from the needy and incomplete parts of the self?

2 – Can you share a personal experience of a time when you discovered a newly rich life with yourself?

3 – What works for you in relating to yourself at a deeper level?

 

Daily Words of the Buddha ~ September 04, 2014

Evaṃ bho purisa jānāhi:
pāpadhammā asaññatā.
Mā taṃ lobho adhammo ca
ciraṃ dukkhāya randhayuṃ.

Know this, O good one:
evil things are difficult to control.
Let not greed and wickedness
drag you to protracted misery.

Daily Chabad ~ “Soul-Body Bonding,” based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

swirly head

The human mind despises the body that houses it,
but the soul has only love.

The mind would soar to the heavens,
but for a body that chains it to the earth.
The mind would be consumed in divine oneness,
but for the body’s delusion of otherness,
as though it had made itself.

But the soul sees only G‑d.

In that very delusion of otherness,
in that madness of the human ego,
even there, the soul sees only G‑d.

For she says, “This, too, is truth.
This is a reflection of the Essence of all things,
of that which truly has neither beginning nor cause.”

And so she embraces the bonds of the body,
works with the body, transforms the body.
Until the body, too, sees only G‑d.

Seeds for Meditation ~ On Knowing

_elale_kule

There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.
~ Anaïs Nin

… And yet, as that mosaic becomes complete the enlightenment process would be as if it were being experienced instantaneously.  It all comes down to that moment when you make that connection with that innermost part of your Self.  To place yourself in the front row, before your God … it’s all about that moment of communion.  And, once had, it is never lost.

A Reflective Moment At Summer’s End

seaside tea time

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me lay an invincible summer.” — Albert Camus


As the seasons begin to change, and we move from summer to fall, spend the time this Holiday Monday to reflect on the year so far. What progress have you made this year toward the goals and intentions you set at the beginning of the year? Reflect on your thoughts- have you been gentle with yourself, or punished yourself for things still unaccomplished? Have unexpected surprises come and pulled you off course? Are there lessons to be learned from from those experiences?

Take a few minutes to reflect and be quiet now. Sit quietly and listen to your inner wisdom. See what thoughts enter your mind about what you truly want the remainder of this year to become. Write it down so that you can infuse your consciousness with these intentions.

Seeds for Meditation ~ On Life

consciousness of buddha

“Life is a great battlefield. Life is a conquest. To live is to fight for the ideal and the goal. Life is a series of awakenings. You must conquer your mind and the senses. These are the real enemies. You must conquer internal and external nature. You must conquer your environments, old evil habits, old evil Samskaras, evil thoughts and evil Vasanas. You must fight against the antagonistic dark forces. You must resist the forces of degeneration. The greatest victory is the victory over the turbulent mind. The greatest battle is the inner Adhyatmic battle. The greatest hero is one who has conquered the mind.”

– Swami Sivananda

 

Seeds for Meditation ~ Consciousness

Indian sunset

“Breathing happens; sensations, feelings, and emotions come and go; thoughts pass through the mind; and stories about our experiences form, but the only continuous, unbroken, and always present thing is consciousness itself. Consciousness is that which, in us, is aware of all these changing phenomena. This is the nondual truth of existence.” ~ Jim Dreaver

Meditation ~ New Moon in Virgo

Aloha Family of Light !

As we step into this next  beautiful integration phase of  the Astrological sign turning towards Virgo,  we also welcome a powerful Manifestation New Moon cycle full of magic and promise.

We discover the essential task of Virgo in uniting our body, mind and spirit so that we become who we incarnated to be. This gives birth to our own savior–our inner Spirit,  integrating through self-knowledge–knowing who we are and who we are not. It has a lot to do with self-acceptance as well gifting love and complete acceptance of who we are.

~ YOU ARE THE LIGHTHOUSE ~

Virgo asks us to give that love and acceptance to ourselves, instead of patriarchy’s twisting of Virgo’s gift into self-criticism and impossible perfectionism.

A deep awakening of the energy coursing within our cellular memories the foundation and make-up of our divine temples of the body unearth the currents of magic that ebb and flow along in tune with the moon’s rhythm. As we combine this powerful force uniting them as one we co-create positive change and transform your life through the mysteries of the new moon.

Translation:

Oh Saints, the purifying pool of Ram Das is sublime

Under the protection of the Creator, no harm can come to me

Chanting the Lord’s name, Har, Har, my mistakes are washed away

Whomsoever bathes in the nectar tank is acclaimed all over the world;

The desires of that person’s mind are fulfilled

Bathing (in this sacredness) the mind becomes peaceful, as it meditates on God

Those who bathe here, they liberate and bless themselves and all their generations

Oh Saints, the purifying pool of Ram Das is sublime

One who bathes in the pool of the Saints achieves the state of supreme bliss

There is no death, there is no coming and going;

There is only meditating on the name of the Lord, Har, Har

He alone knows the wisdom of the Lord, on whom this Lord extends merciful kindness

Baba Nanak seeks the sanctuary of God; All his cares and worries are dispelled

Those who bathe here, they liberate and bless themselves and all their generations

Oh Saints, the purifying pool of Ram Das is sublime

JUST FOR TODAY … Sing!

Find a song that expresses how you feel about a loved one and share that song with them.

We all have a story.  When we listen, and listen well enough to take our  words and turn them into art, and sing it back to those with whom we interact, something happens. Alchemy through heightened communication … the spark of creative innovation … and it’s powerful.

Western Mysticism ~ Bill Donahue ~ WHAT WE ARE TAUGHT AND WHAT WE BELIEVE ARE NOT NECESSARILY SO

floatiesWe spend much of our lives being taught in school and in church as well.

We are told what is spiritually true, and what is historically true.

I am sure many of you learned this poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow during your school days.

Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere …

The ride to alert the colonies that the British were coming was thru Massachussetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey
to Philadelphia Pa. Three Hundred and Forty Five miles in 5 days.

The problem is that Paul Revere did not make that ride. It was made by Israel Bissell.

On that night, three men were assigned to ride and warn the people that the British were coming. Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Israel Bissell. Dawes and Revere road from Boston to Lexington. Between the two of them 20 miles.

Israel Bissell road 5 days, 345 miles all the way to Philadelphia warning the colonies as he rode through Massachessetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pannsylvania.

But Henry Wadsworth Longfellow felt that Paul Reveres name was more patriotic sounding and rhymed better and so he wrote the poem about Paul Revere.

But Clay Perry wrote a poem about Israel Bissell that you can find on the net.

The beginning goes like this:

I. Bissell’s Ride – by Clay Perry
Listen, my children, to my epistle
Of the long, long ride of Israel Bissell,
Who outrode Paul by miles and time
But didn’t rate a poet’s rhyme

So what we all learned in our history class turns out not to be true. And we have to think, if they didn’t get right what happened 250 years ago how are we supposed to believe their Bible teachings of 3000 years ago.

That always leads me to think of George Gershwins song of many years ago:

It ain’t necessarily so
The things that your liable to read in the Bible
It ain’t necessarily so.

What this shows us is that the things that we read in our history books also are not necessarily so.

All of your children believe that Paul Revere was the hero that night  … Are you gonna tell them the truth?

Poor Israel Bissell got no mention of his heroic ride that night, because his name was not patriotic sounding and hard to rhyme.

Such is the nature of what we are led to believe.  It really is all show biz.

Seeds For Meditation ~ The Bodhisattva Vow

buddha radiantAs I develop the awakening mind I praise the Buddha as they shine
I bow before you as I travel my path to join your ranks,
I make my full time task
For the sake of all beings I seek
The enlightened mind that I know I’ll reap
Respect to Shantideva and all the others
Who brought down the Dharma for sisters and brothers.

I give thanks for this world as a place to learn
And for this human body that I’m glad to have earned
And my deepest thanks to all sentient beings
For without them there would be no place to learn what I’m seeing
There’s nothing here that’s not been said before
But I put it down now so I’ll be sure
To solidify my own views and I’ll be glad if it helps
Anyone else out too.

If others disrespect me or give me flack
I’ll stop and think before I react
Knowing that they’re going through insecure stages
I’ll take the opportunity to exercise patience
I’ll see it as a chance to help the other person
Nip it in the bud before it can worsen.
A change for me to be strong and sure
As I think on the Buddhas who have come before
As I praise and respect the good they’ve done
Knowing only love can conquer in every situation
We need other people in order to create
The circumstances for the learning that we’re here to generate
Situations that bring up our deepest fears
So we can work to release them until they’re cleared
Therefore, it only makes sense
To thank our enemies despite their intent.

The Bodhisattva path is one of power and strength
A strength from within to go the length
Seeing others are as important as myself
I strive for a happiness of mental wealth
With the interconnectedness that we share as one
Every action that we take affects everyone
So in deciding for what a situation calls
There is a path for the good for all
I try to make my every action for that highest good
With the altruistic wish to achieve Buddhahood
So I pledge here before everyone who’s listening
To try to make my every action for the good of all beings
For the rest of my lifetimes and even beyond
I vow to do my best to do no harm
And in times of doubt I can think on the Dharma
And the enlightened ones who’ve graduated Samsara.

Paradigm Shift ~ Living For The Weekend

tragedy living dead
i hope i never start living for the weekend
only to see it turn into a monday morning
i hope i never compete with my neighbors
to buy things i cannot really afford
i hope if i ever get married
i won’t refer to my spouse as a ball and chain
i hope my life never revolves around
so-called entertainment like monday night football
because i don’t want to be that family

i hope i never start living for the weekend
and calling in sick so i don’t have to go to work
i hope i don’t ever assume that others think just like me
and get caught up in my own idealism
i hope watching the dog chase the neighbors cat
doesn’t become the highlight of my day
i hope my evenings don’t revolve around tittie bars
and hot wings to keep me out of the house
because i don’t want to be that guy

i hope i never start living for the weekend
and forget how to relax
i hope i don’t get stuck in a job i hate
and do nothing about the situation but complain
i hope if things don’t work out
i can handle the situation
i hope i don’t end up like all those people
who let their lives pass them by
because i don’t want to live for the weekend

Seeds for Meditation ~ Self-Awareness

Herman-Damar1

 

“You must be ready to accept the possibility that there is a limitless range of awareness for which we now have no words; that awareness can expand beyond range of your ego, your self, your familiar identity, beyond everything you have learned, beyond your notions of space and time, beyond the differences which usually separate people from each other and from the world around them.”  ~ Tibetan Book of the Dead

 

POWER MEDITATION ~ Part Two

blooming rose love

Set your intention for your meditation.  It doesn’t matter what that intention is. Just keep in mind that any good you intend for others will have a small good effect on you; and whatever harm you intend for others will have a huge negative effect upon you.  Please remember we’re all in this lifetime together to help each other to the best of our ability.

There is an ancient philosophy in both the East and the West teaching us that twenty percent (20%) of all the good will we intend for others will be visited upon us.  The other eighty percent (80%) is visited upon the ones for whom we pray and meditate.  If we meditate and pray for beneficial things, everybody receives beneficial things in those proportions.

The other side of that coin is that twenty percent (20%) of all harmful things we intend to do unto others in our prayers and meditations actually causes them some harm.  But, the other eighty percent (80%) of that harm is visited upon us.  We really do unto ourselves whatever we attempt to do unto others.  We really do help ourselves by helping others.

The first thing we do as we start our Power Meditation is to decide what we want to accomplish with our meditation.  In the beginning, we set simple goals to relax more, go deeper and we pray for the benefit of others.  As we progress from step to step, we set our intentions for higher purposes.  We seek out our spirit guides, guardian angels, master teachers, self realization and realization of the Divine.

Set your intention, breathe deeply and relax.

You may close your eyes if you wish.  You may sit, stand or recline if you wish.  You may practice at any time, in any place and for long as you wish.  Experience teaches us that three (3x) to five (5x) practice sessions a day is just about ideal.  More or less is less and less effective. Experience teaches us that twenty (20 min) minutes per session is just about optimal.  More or less time in each session becomes less and less effective.  If you want to practice an hour a day, three twenty minute sessions are far more effective than one single one-hour session.

Set your intention, breath deeply and relax.

Relax your whole body more and more.  Start with your feet, toes, and ankles.  Will them to relax more and more.  Consciously feel your toes, feet and ankles relaxing.  Continue breathing deeply and relax until you feel the warmth in your feet toes and ankles as they relax more and more.

Relax your lower legs, knees and upper legs.  Will them to relax more and more.  Let go of any tension and consciously relax your knees, upper and lower legs.  Continue breathing deeply and relax until you feel the warmth as your upper and lower legs and your knees relax and the blood flow through them increases.

Set your intention, breathe deeply and relax.  Relax your upper and lower legs, knees, ankles and feet.

Relax your hips, your abdomen and chest.  Let all tension go.  Relax your hips and torso and Continue breathing deeply and relax until you feel the warmth flow through your body, down your legs, through your knees and ankles down into your feet and toes.  Feel your body and legs relax more and more.

Relax your fingers, hands, wrists, lower and upper arms, elbows and shoulders.  Make a conscious effort to let all tension go.  Intentionally allow your muscles to relax and Continue breathing deeply and relax until you feel the warmth in your fingers, hands, wrists, lower arms, elbows, upper arms and shoulders as your circulation improves.

Set your intention, breathe deeply and relax.  Relax your whole body from your shoulders to your toes.  Continue breathing deeply and relax until you feel the warmth and relaxation from your shoulders all the way down to your toes.

Relax your shoulders and your neck.  Relax your jaw and your face.  From the tip of your toes to the top of your head, relax, Continue breathing deeply and relax until you Continue breathing deeply and relax until you feel the warmth and relax.  Practice this two to four times a day (2-4x) for ten to twenty minutes (10-20 min) each session for the next seven (7) days.

If you must practice for less time and/or for fewer sessions, it may take longer than one week for you to master this technique.  You do the best you can and practice to the best of your ability when you can.  It’s perfectly O.K. to take things more slowly.

If you are driven to practice for more time and/or more sessions, please consider spending that extra time practicing compassion and praying or communing with the Divine.  To spent this extra time in meditation practice may work out well.  It may also slow your progress.  Do the best you can and prepare for the next lesson as best you can.

Set your intention, breathe deeply and relax.  Relax your whole body from the top of your head to the tip of your toes.  Breathe deeply and relax more and more.  As you inhale, relax your face and your shoulders.  As you exhale, relax your shoulders, and the rest of your body. Breathe deeply and relax.  Feel these waves of relaxation move down from the top of your head to your shoulders, and from your shoulders all the way through your body to your feet.  Continue breathing deeply and relax.

CONCLUSION

This concludes Part One of the teaching materials for the Power Meditation technique.  Please practice this much of the technique two to three times (2 – 3x) daily for fifteen to twenty minutes (15 – 20 Min) for best results for one week or until you can master this technique.  Set your intention for your meditation, breathe deeply and relax to the best of your ability.  Continue to relax more and more as you breathe more deeply and relax more and more.

In the next nine lessons you’ll learn nine more skills to improve your life and deepen your mediation.  The complete ten skills are:

    Compassion
    Integrity
    Respectfulness
    Self-control
    Charity
    Purity
    Contentment
    Moderation
    Contemplation
    Devotion

The ten steps to the Power Meditation, also taught as the Ten Powers Of Choice, start with the relaxation skills given in Part One.

 

POWER MEDITATION ~ PART ONE

blooming rose love

COMPASSION

Compassion is called “non-violence” (Ahimsa) in the Eastern tradition and is sometimes relegated to speaking only of “non-injury” or “non-agitation.”  But compassion is much more than any of these.  Compassion is a basic approach to life that is unconditionally accepting, forgiving and loving.

Compassion is a goal and becoming compassionate is a process.  We seek progress as we become more and more compassionate.  We do not seek eternal and immediate perfection.  We seek progress.  We work each day at becoming more and more compassionate in every way.  Thus we make progress.

COMPASSION MEANS:

1.    Do no harm to yourself
2.    Do no harm to another
3.    Do no harm to animals
4.    Do no harm to plants
5.    Do no harm to the planet

Compassion means to do no harm to anything, anybody, anytime, anywhere.  Compassion is a state of being where we totally accept everything and everybody exactly as they are.  It’s a state where we forgive everybody and everything for all the harm caused to us or perceived to have been caused to us.  It’s a state of unconditional love for all things and all people.

Compassion is an ideal to which we aspire to the best of our ability each and every day.  When we attain this ideal, we become established in God Consciousness.  To become established in anything means that becomes our normal state.  Most of us are established in selfishness, greed, envy and self-importance.  As we practice compassion day by day these things fall away from us and we become established in higher and higher states, more accepting, forgiving and loving states.  We make progress.

COMPASSION OPERATES ON MANY LEVELS:

On the physical level we practice to cause no harm to ourselves and others.  When we observe ourselves causing intentional harm, we stop and we evaluate the cause behind this behavior.   When we observe ourselves causing unintentional harm. we stop and we evaluate the cause behind this behavior.  We evaluate this in a state of contemplation and meditation.  We root out the cause and we change our behavior.  As we do this, we become more compassionate.  That’s Physical Compassion.

On the intentional level of our being we desire to be compassionate in all things and with all people.  We daily affirm to ourselves that we are becoming more compassionate, more accepting, more forgiving and more loving of all people and all things.  This includes ourselves and the Divine.  As we do this, we become more and more compassionate.  That’s Intentional Compassion.

On the verbal level we practice speaking accepting, forgiving, loving and compassionate things.  We avoid speaking accusing, resentful, cutting, hurtful and insulting words.  We avoid speaking any words hatefully and with cruelty.  When we cannot do this, we avoid speaking or we change the subject and move on to something else.  As we do this, we become more and more compassionate.  That’s Verbal Compassion.

On the emotional level whenever we feel anger welling up within us, we transmute it into peace and calm.  Whenever we feel fear or anxiety, we transmute it into inner strength.  Whenever we feel sorrow or sadness, we transmute it into happiness.  As we do this, we become more and more compassionate with ourselves and others.  That’s Emotional Compassion.

On the psychological level, we resolve to play no games with ourselves or others.  We resolve to stop deceiving ourselves and others.  We drop our false images of ourselves and we become more and more real, more and more who we truly are.  We stop playing games and appearing to be something other than what we really are.  As we do this, we become more and more compassionate.  That’s Psychological Compassion.

On the mental level, we make a considerable effort to accept, forgive and love.  We make a conscious decision to accept, forgive and love more today than we did yesterday.  In every situation we face,  we intentionally and consciously decide to accept more and more, forgive more and more and love more and more.  As we do this, we become more and more compassionate.  That’s Mental Compassion.

On the spiritual level, we meditate and pray for others.  We meditate that they may obtain more compassion in their lives.  We pray they will find it in their hearts to be more compassionate with the people, plants and animals in their lives.  As we do this, we become more and more compassionate.  That’s Spiritual Compassion.

This the OM (or AUM) symbol used to end each lesson.  It’s a three-letter glyph of the Sanskrit voiced or unvoiced sounds for Ah – Oh – Mm.  The symbol approximates the sound of the Divine Creation we hear in deep meditation.  The more we meditate the sound of OM comes closer and closer to this reality.  Eventually we become washed in this sound most of the time.  That’s a sign of Enlightenment or Self-Realization.  In time we become “established in this sound.”  That means we hear the “Divine Voice” all the time and we become “God Realized.”

Within this sound of OM, the Divine speaks to us in many voices: parent, child, son, daughter, father, mother, friend and lover.  We can also enter this sound to travel wherever we want within the creation and do wondrous things.  So, this symbol is a reminder to listen to the “Voice of the Divine” within you.

These skills alone, if used on a daily basis for fifteen to twenty minutes two or three times a day, will eventually lead to deeper and deeper states of meditation.  This will be evidenced by the acquisition of the sound of OM more quickly during your meditation and the ability to hear OM during times when you are not meditating.  This process may take several lifetimes.

Anrita Melchizedek ~ Lion’s Gate Meditation for 8/8/2014

Activation of the Diamond Light Grid through the Heart Chakra of Mother Earth

On August 8th, we enter into yet another unprecedented activity of Light,

a window of opportunity of accelerated consciousness,

to experience the Initiation of Resurrection,

through the amplification of the Spiritual Sun of Sirius,

and the Overlighting of the Sirian Archangelic League of the Light,

and the Great White Lodge within the etheric of Sirius.

 

Astrologically Sirius rises before our Sun at different times,

through the month of July and August,

lifting all Life into the encodings of their Highest Potentials,

through this Galactic Alignment of Light,

and allowing for a deeper merging with our Christed Overself of the Light,

through initiations of Light experienced in parallel realities and timelines,

primarily in ancient Egypt and Atlantis.

 

Through this gateway of accelerated Cosmic Consciousness awareness,

We are lifted through the Left Eye and then Right Eye of Horus and into the Central Eye of Horus,

and the teachings of Light from On High through the Order of Melchizedek.

 

Through this event, the key codes to these teachings,

found energetically within the dormant DNA,

are activated through this crystalline matrix of Sirian Light,

and the Cosmic Ray of Galactic Service,

as it spirals forth from the Ascension Seat in Sirius,

through this quadrant of the Galaxy,

and into the Unity Grid of Light,

into the Great Pyramid of Egypt, the Sphinx and related etheric Temples of Light,

then through the chakras, leylines and sacred sites,

and into the hearts and minds of all Life on this Earth plane,

expanding senses and realities into a sixth dimensional frequency of Light.

 

Invocation to the 8:8 Lion’s Gateway

 

As I align with my Higher Light, my Mighty I Am Presence,

and Mother/Father God,

I now call forth the Overlighting of the Sirian Archangelic League of the Light,

the Great White Lodge within the etheric of Sirius, and the Order of Melchizedek.

 

I now request to be taken into the Ascension Seat in the King’s Chamber,

and to re-experience my initiations of Light from ancient Egypt and Atlantis,

through the Cosmic ray of Galactic Service and the Language of Light

through the Beings of Light from On High,

assisting in these initiations of Light.

 

As I enter into this Ascension Seat through an external Merkaba Vehicle of Light

I am placed in an Initiations Chamber of Light,

lfting me into the Left Eye of Horus through Divine Love,

and now into the Right Eye of Horus, through the Language of Light, sacred geometry, hieroglyphics and the understanding of my immortal nature as this sacred Master Being of Light,

and now through the Middle Eye of Horus, bringing through an alignment of Light from the Galactic Center,

and the Cosmic ray of Galactic Service.

 

The dormant DNA is now activated to the maximum Cosmic Law will allow,

as I receive these downloads of Light from the etheric of Sirius,

and through the portal of Light found with the right paw of the Sphinx,

holding the Records of Light for all Life on this Earth plane.

 

I now merge with my Mighty I Am Presence,

taking on these crystalline encodings of Light

through Seraphis Bey’s Ascension Retreat in Luxor,

and experiencing the sixth initiation, the Initiation of Resurrection,

through the Overlighting of Order of Melchizedek

and the Temple of the Ascension Flame.

 

As the chakras merge in One Unified Column of Light,

I experience my physical ascension,

taking on these master codes of the I AM Avatar blueprint

becoming that which I have forever been,

my Mighty I Am Presence.

 

I now assist in activating these key codes of Light

through the Unity Grid of Light,

allowing the experience of the merging with their Higher Self and Mighty I Am Presence to be experienced for all Life by 2012.

 

I Am an Initiate of Light,

I Am a Keeper of Light,

I Am an Ambassador of Light,

I Am an Immortal Being of Light,

I Am all that I Am.
