Find Spiritual Connection through Meditation

[Jewel]

One can find their one personal direct connection with Source, God, Oneness, whatever you personally choose to call Divinity, more easily then ever before in these days. This is because the veil between the dimensions has thinned, and it is very easy to penetrate now.

Being in tune with the Source of Creation is an awesome privilege of being human. It is a discipline well worth cultivating.

I have spent hours meditating these past several years. I started out with about 5 minutes twice a day. I slowly developed a connection with Divinity from sitting in the silence of the InnerWorld space. Now I can be there for an hour or two twice a day and thrive on this close bond I have with God/Soul/Oneness.

Continuing to have a passion for this inner connection had led me to many inner creative states of being that I am happy to be involved in.

For every person it is different according to your personality and how it connects with Soul and the way in which you are conditioned to believe.

I have a meditation practice I will share here, although you pick one to suit what is best for your lifestyle.

The main point is that having a practice of some kind to pray, go within and enjoy your 'direct' connect to Soul/Spirit - linking to Source is where it is at these days.

the time is over when we need a Minister, a Shaman, a Rabbi or a Guru to connect to GOD.

Anyone can do it now, just connect with your heart.

I have a daily spiritual blog on my visionary new age site called Innerworld. I enjoy a very unique connection to my Soul, though daily meditations and insights from quieting the mind and being present.

However, because I come from a more new age/Hindu/Buddhist style spiritual path, and someone else from a more conventional Christian background, meditation works for everyone no matter what there religious affiliation is.

It is possible for most everyone to create an inner focused connection with Spirit with just a little practice.

Meditate, pray, connect with Spirit and find the Inner Source of your Soul and Divine Being. This will lead to 'greening the planet' faster then any outer technique ever can.
MEDITATION

Meditation is such an important aspect of connection to Soul.

Nothing calms, brings peace and awareness to a person then simple getting out of constant thinking, mentalizing, worrying and processing everything to death.

We must learn to turn off the mind. It is so simple, yet so hard to actually do at first.

Just like running a marathon starts with running shoes and jogging around the block at first, so does meditation.

I now meditate sometimes 2-3 hours daily. But I started several years ago with 5 minutes of focused non-thinking. This was how I started. I sat at my altar and focused on the name of God.

The name of GOD is personal for us all, so whatever name of your choosing. This was my way. When another thought popped in, I went back to focus on the Name I chose. It was so simple. For 5 minutes I closed m eyes, sat at my Altar and silently chanted the name of my Beloved.

It worked for me, since later I extended this, and didn’t need to chant it for very long as I would go into a state of relaxation and I would focus on clearing my mind.

Just letting the thoughts pass through me….no-thought, just being with the present moment in time. This is how it started. Now I go in have a short prayer and just focus on present moment reality. That is it…now I have visions all the time. But I still focus on the NOW moment, and when I get sidetracked by mind, I come back to present moment reality.

But there are many ways to meditate, find one way and stick with it and make it a daily practice even if it is only five minutes at first. Below is a nice intention practice that is a good way to get in touch with the inner self.
THE MEDITATION OF INTENTION

for creating internal change pick one intention to work on, such as health, good skin, well being, feeling better, self esteem, inner peace or greening the planet for all humanity.

1) Be aware of your current state of body/mind, (this is accomplished through meditation) sit still and be aware.

2) Visualize or chant the I AM (start with something simple such as peace, feeling good about my Self etc.) that which is to be Intended and the Intent to be acted upon is crystallized in the mind.

3) The desired state is held steady in the mind, (for at least 5 minutes). Visualize and feel this state as if it already exists, until the body/mind shifts into it.

4) The desired state is “held in place” throughout the body. This new state is maintained by treating it as the new reality of the self on a permanent basis.

Subsequent applications of the above four-step process render cumulative results. Be persistent!

By using this technique, we are made aware of the fact that the body is a collection of cellular group minds.

Each of these possesses Intent, Awareness and Energy.

Every cell group in the body therefore has a state of consciousness which it holds.

It may also be accurately said, that every Intent element or cubic inch of our tissue holds a certain “state of mind”, composed of fear, clarity, pleasure, pain, love, confusion or bliss, or some combination thereof.

During meditation we are given the opportunity to become aware of these Intent elements and their subtle details.

The meditator will notice that every subtle feeling in the body is an indicator of a corresponding Intent underlying it. They will also notice that the chakras are the most intense feeling/awareness centers of the body, and that each chakra is composed of smaller regions of feeling/awareness areas.

The reason this is important information for the meditator to gain, is that all of these Intent elements can be transformed at will, once they are known through meditation.

This is a part of what it means to “gain self knowledge”. The feelings in the body and their corresponding Intentions are a reflection of our overall mental and spiritual focus.

These are stored in the body as a form of cellular memory and ongoing activity.

When we meditate then, we become aware of many subtle feelings and Intentions that are housed in our tissues.

In order to expand our consciousness, it is very useful to transform these stored Intentions/memories to ones that are spiritually progressive.

Of particular importance is the seeking out of all fear housed in the cells, through meditation.

So instead of avoiding fear and its unpleasantness, seek it out as a hunter stalks their prey.

Once it is found anywhere in the body, fear can be transformed into love or clarity by using the “four steps in the manifestation of Intent” above.

If fear is found in the fourth chakra, (heart) for instance, step one of “Being aware of your current state of body/mind” in this area is accomplished.

Step two of, “Gain familiarity with that which is to be Intended” is accomplished when we focus on the love, health and youthing we want to experience there.

Step three, “The desired state is held steady in the mind is achieved when we stay focused on the love that is replacing the fear within.

Feel fear be dissolved by health and feeling younger by gradual degrees, until it is completely replaced on a permanent basis.

Then treat this inner change as your new permanent reality.

In doing this you have accomplished step four above, or, “The desired state is “held in place” throughout the body. This is a brief example of using Intent for internal change.

Any area of the body may in this way be transformed, and its underlying Intent changed. This will aid in the improvement of health, mental clarity and the raising of overall consciousness.

The more areas of the body we convert from fear to love, the more our consciousness will soar.
The same is true of the World Mind in which we live, because we are analogous to cells within the body of humanity/the Earth.

The spiritual practitioner may rightly consider these inner transformations, as a preparation for greater Mastery. They prepare us for the creation of the needed outer transformations, in the World Mind of humanity.

The purpose of life is the raising of consciousness, of which we are composed.

This Universal Aim is not of our own making, but is a reflection of the Intent of that which is known as Divine presence.

It is the Intent of Divine Presence to Manifest Itself in the highest possible forms, into the matrix of atoms, everywhere upon the physical plane.

The Divine does this so as to express Itself here, and improve Its own nature even further.

Thus, we are manifestations of the Intent of the Divine, to evolve Itself through the agency of matter.

Our own motivation to grow, expand and evolve, is a reflection of the Divine Intent to do the very same thing.

We are an outgrowth of the Evolution of Spirit.

To employ the Intent of perpetual raising, is therefore to act in accordance with the purposes of natural law.

To put this another way, it is to act in accord with the will of the Divine to evolve.

When we recognize this Truth, we then become the agents of Divine Intention, and also catalysts for the furtherance of human evolution.

The acceleration of human consciousness, results also in the furtherance of the evolution of the Earth Mind/Noosphere, or planetary consciousness in general. Therefore the Healing of our Planet going 'Green' on the deepest, possible level.
