The metaphysical Theayer meditation shpiel a bla bla bla Factor For Successful Meditation, is this article written by Other than worldly information on this metaphysical subject acting in our humble theater today follows Selected arrangements edited and re-written by John Tvrz. At johntvrz dot com The most important factor for a successful meditation is volition. It is the voluntary decision to take a number of minutes of your day to consciously connect to your higher self/source/inner being. A comitment made easy by your own human imagination. That is the foundation everything else is built upon, all is imaginal activity, though human "reason" rejects it for obvious reasons. If you don’t make that decision and don’t take the time, you can’t have a successful meditation because you will not have any meditation. Your own human imagination the ancients called Jesus Christ is alive within you now. Now, volition may seem vague to you and maybe its not enough. But it is. It is much more powerful than you’d think. Ask for Assistance and it will be given you. It is all already within, whole and waiting. Before you sit down for a meditation, focus on a thought like this: "this quiet time I want to give to you. guide into my vortex, into peace, into joy, into love, into the essence of what I am. I will trust you to lead the way. If I need a word to help me, you will give it to me. If I need a thought, that you will also give. And if I need a tranquil, open mind, that will be your gift to me.” With this invitation you will not be alone battling with your thoughts any more. You will have invited your inner being to help you find it. And it will help you. It will guide you. It will inspire you to the right flow. And all you need to do is let yourself go with the flow and be gradually pulled into the delicious vortex of non-resistance. When you trust this process and just ease into it, you will have a successful meditation, no matter what happened during it. Don’t judge it or yourself if you think it should have gone in a different direction. How good the meditation feels depends only on your starting point and your belief on how hard it is. But it is a certainty it will feel better and better the more you do it, and especially if you do it daily. Any process can get you there You can use any meditation process to help you start (focusing on a sound, on your breathing, on your heart chakra, on a mantra, on chanting, on counting breaths, on an image, on a deity...) and then just let go of control, let go of all struggle, let go of all trying to achieve anything and just let yourself be. Let your inner being guide you. Feeling you are not thinking, but just watching, curious, interested. Easy. However it goes - just let it be and it will be good. Inner being will value your volition to connect and will continue to guide you next time. You will start noticing leaps in wellbeing you feel during a meditation after only a few sessions. Try it out and allow yourself to be surprised and delighted to where it leads you. The great silent inner void There is a fear that is common among spiritual seekers is that by pursuing a spiritual path, they are losing their passion and ambitions in life, that they don't "fit in" to the world anymore. "This is a sign, for many people, as they are deepening in their understanding, they are returning home in their own heart... Your journey is an old journey. To be honest, there is nothing to be sad about. There is a joy in your heart that's blossoming more and more. Don't let the world trouble you. Sometimes we are a bit embarrassed to be changed, but you should be happy that things which need to be changed can change. In fact, when you discover the unchanging, you're much more free to let the wind of change blow out the old dead leaves. Joy is in you, peace is in you, love is blossoming. It's so much higher than anything previous.” ~ Mooji When the soul wants to experience something, he throws out an image
