Meditation

Do not watch your mind for long, feel your being. Many will be distracted by the imagery of the mind and imagination, but this is not meditation. Trying to enter the meditative state with ideas and imagery creates a false impression that you are meditating.

Hypnosis is not meditation. It can be helpful in influencing the mind and body, but unless it releases you to feel and detaches you from any imagery and ideas you will never leave the mind or experience meditation. You may take a stroll into the unconscious or the imagination, but that is not meditation either. It is like a mother that holds the hand of a child to cross the street for the first time, but the child realizes that someday it must go alone. You must walk alone into your meditation, but you will not be alone. All of you will be waiting.

Meditation is in the breath, within the breath and beyond the breath. It is the tide of your beingness rolling onto the shore of form and receding back into the formless consciousness. It is the “I AM” giving expression to a life form and in the same instant being true to its existence or nature. It is the eternal presence of consciousness manifesting in the NOW as male/female, duality, polar opposites and ying/yang.

Meditation is the state of “I AM”. It is the truest form of being and expression. It is consciousness that does not need to express itself or seek itself within form to know itself. You are everything when you know yourself as “I AM”.
