We have to push ourselves to stillness - to the natural state.Collection: Natural
Meditation, in the beginning, is just replacement thinking. Instead of having the usual negative things that wander around in your mind, you are replacing those with very bright images.Collection: Thinking
In the beginning, when you are meditating, just ignore thought. Shine it on. Then after you are comfortable sitting there, try selectively eliminating negative thoughts, thoughts that agitate the mind.Collection: Shining
Don't fight with your thoughts or try to suppress them with your will. This will only frustrate you and bind you to your thoughts even more strongly.Collection: Fighting
Our thoughts will swim around and talk to us while we're sitting there, make fun of us, ignore us. But if you pay attention, if you don't look in the direction of your thoughts, you meditate.Collection: Fun
Stopping thought also involves shifting your values. Thought is stimulated by ideas that we have about life and the world.Collection: Ideas
We were imprinted with a value system as young children. The sensory experiences of life can trigger and stimulate a variety of associative thoughts and ideas.Collection: Children
Your mind is turbulent because you're filled with desires, frustrations. You want too many things. You are afraid of too many things. It is necessary to overcome both attraction and repulsion to still the mind.Collection: Frustration
I observe many people who say they are meditating, but I sure don't see them meditating. They sit and touch a lot of people, places and things psychically, but they sure don't meditate.Collection: People
Whatever you focus on during meditation, you psychically travel to and touch. In meditation, when you think of somebody, you actually go into their aura. That is the issue. Keep your meditation pristine, unalloyed.Collection: Thinking
When a lot of people meditate what they do is they're thinking about other people. This is a terrible mistake. If you do this, stop!Collection: Mistake
If you focus on another person you take their energy in your body completely.Collection: Focus
If you allow people, places and things, to pass through your mind during meditation, you will pull in all those other auras and you be much more confused and dissociated than you were prior to your meditation experience.Collection: Confused
If you start picking up other people's impressions while you are meditating, then instead of clearing yourself, you are just going to completely glom yourself up to the point where there is no meditation.Collection: People
When your mind drifts away from one of the secret meditation techniques, do not become upset or frustrated. Gently move your mind back to the technique you were practicing and begin again.Collection: Moving
People focus on things that vibrate very slowly during meditation and because they are so open they make themselves really sick, psychically.Collection: People
Meditation will do you a disservice. It will confuse you more than clarify you. It will bring tremendous impurity in you - if you are allowing your mind to wander during the empowered experience.Collection: Meditation
Many people, including Buddhist monks, spend thousands of hours sitting in what they call meditation. In reality, what they're doing is thinking and ruminating upon their problems.Collection: Buddhist
When you are meditating, thinking about things in this world is not going to help you. Instead, forget about everything for a while and look at something that is perfect, this will help you deal with the world better.Collection: Thinking
When your thoughts come and you're trying to stop them, simply say "No". Learn the mantra "No". Every time a thought comes in your mind ... just say no.Collection: Mind
Once you've done that, push the thought of no thought away.Collection: Done
Love is the shortcut to meditation. Above thought is love, and within and below thought is love. Love is a ladder that we can climb through thought.Collection: Love Is
To stop thought, you have to go above it. We are collecting energy. When it is freed, it is like a flood and the water will rise and we are in altered states of attention.Collection: Water
The next step in meditation is not just to focus, but to stop thought completely without having to focus; you gain a tremendous amount of personal power.Collection: Focus
The key to all enlightenment is to have personal experiences in the world of light. All you need to do that is to meditate.Collection: Buddhism
Meditation is the quickest path to enlightenment.Collection: Buddhism
This is simple meditation, nothingness and everythingness, the color and the form, death and the void, the end and the beginning, a beginningless end with an endless beginning, Pretty clever if you ask me.Collection: Clever
Meditation... never leave the body without it!Collection: Buddhism
The kundalini is the life force; it is the essential energy of existence. It is the hidden ingredient in life. It is what makes it all work.Collection: Buddhism
Power is the active force in life. It is the force that makes awareness. The general term for spiritual power is kundalini. Kundalini is the energy of life that creates awareness.Collection: Spiritual
Kundalini is the life force. It is given different names. They call it prana. They divide it into different segments, the apana and the samana; sometimes it's called shakti. Nice names, it is energy.Collection: Nice
Kundalini is almost a misleading word, unless you define it as broadly as I do.Collection: Buddhism
Kundalini is prana as it passes through a human being.Collection: Buddhism
The Kundalini resides in the base of the spine. It's a bit of a misnomer because the kundalini really is not so much in the physical body, as in what we call the subtle physical body, the body of energy.Collection: Buddhism
The mystical kundalini is something that I normally use when we're on field trips, when we go to a place of power.Collection: Buddhism
Kundalini energy passes through the shushumna, which is a Sanskrit name for an astral nerve channel that runs along the spinal column.Collection: Running
The shushumna is the tube that the kundalini passes up in the subtle body, and on one side is the ida and the other side is the pingala.Collection: Buddhism
A certain amount of the kundalini is always floating through the ida and the pingala. These two little nerve tubes, on either side of the shushumna, keep us alive.Collection: Buddhism
The kundalini runs through you. It runs through the ida and the pingala, the two nerve channels in the subtle body; but there's a central channel, the shushumna, which is blocked. When it runs through that, then you can use the mystical kundalini.Collection: Running
When there is no thought, the kundalini rises. When you create a vacuum, something will be drawn into it. The less thought you have, the more kundalini will flow through the chakras, the shushumna.Collection: Buddhism
If you take the time to bring the light of the supra-conscious into your being, then automatically all blockages will go away. These are just ways of talking, there are no blockages, schematically I mean.Collection: Mean
At times of extreme intensity, the kundalini can become active. Suddenly a 70-year old lady, who can't lift a bag of prunes, will lift an automobile a few inches because her grandchild got stuck under it.Collection: Buddhism
The kundalini energy is often compared to a snake that is coiled up. Because it is coiled up it can spring very quickly. It can jump and extend itself very far.Collection: Spring
Kundalini is generated through cultivating humility, purity, through meditation, selfless giving, and by studying with an advanced teacher on a personal level.Collection: Teacher
People are under the assumption that the kundalini just flows from the base of the spine up. That's not the case at all. Kundalini also flows downward.Collection: Buddhism
The kundalini flows upward. It also flows downward in different ways. It is quite complex, actually.Collection: Buddhism
There are six chakras or energy vortexes that lie along that tube. There is a seventh chakra located several inches above the head, but it is not connected.Collection: Lying
There are thousands of lesser chakras. Chakras are doorways to other worlds. When you focus on them, you step into something else.Collection: Buddhism
There are many other chakras, or nadis as they are also called. There are chakras in the hands, fingertips, feet and a number of other areas.Collection: Buddhism
