| LESSON
1: MEDITATION.
During this course we will explore many aspects of psychic &
spiritual development from chakras to astral projection, however
we will start the course with what is possibly the most important
lesson of all. Meditation is the most powerful tool available
to us when it comes to developing spiritually and psychically.
For this reason meditation is used extensively in all kinds of
psychic development courses.
A quote by Yogananda (A pioneer of Yoga in the West). ”Meditation,
or consciousness focused upon itself, is the ultimate revealer
of who you really are, and what you truly are. You can discover
an inner guidance within yourself, and that inner guidance will
guide you to the destination you need to go. You have already
been guided to many things which are opening you to be aware,
but the greatest tool for self knowledge is meditation”.
What is Meditation.
During our day our minds are constantly active in the process
of thinking. There is a constant sensory input that comes from
living our lives. Whether we are watching television, reading
or even having a conversation, with everything that we do we are
constantly engaging in inner thought. We are so used to doing
this that we are not usually fully aware of all of the thought
activity that is going on. This constant churning of the mind
can make our thoughts clouded thereby making it harder for us
to concentrate or focus on a single thing.
Meditation allows us to calm the mind and reduce the activity
and inner conversation that we have with ourselves. This helps
to clear the mind and allows us to become more focused. We experience
a sense of inner peace and relaxation and our minds will feel
refreshed.
“When the sea is rough, sediment is churned up and the
water becomes murky, but when the wind dies down the mud gradually
settles the water becomes clear.” (www.aboutmeditation.org)
Why Meditate.
The main reason for meditation in psychic development is to make
the mind as calm and quiet as possible thus allowing us to better
connect to the spirit world and our higher self’s. The higher
self is our existence in the higher dimensions or the spirit world,
otherwise known as our soul.
We all have a connection to our soul but the strength of that
connection is weakened by the continual chatter of our conscious
thoughts. The connection becomes stronger when our conscious mind
closes down when we are asleep. This is why our dreams are important,
however it is often difficult to remember our dreams and even
when we do it can be difficult to understand the messages within
them.
When we meditate we can calm the mind and strengthen the connection
to the higher realms and become closer to spirit but because we
are still awake we can remember and understand what we find there.
This makes meditation the most powerful tool in understanding
our self’s, our lives and the reasons why we are here and
what we need to learn. Through meditation we strengthen our intuition
and the knowledge of our higher self’s will come through.
Meditation Techniques.
Meditation involves concentrating on something, to focus the
attention of the mind and thus help prevent the random thoughts
and chatter that is usually going on. This may be something that
is looked at like a candle flame or a picture but it is often
something that is listened too. This can include a single repetitive
sound like our own breath or repeating a mantra to reach a state
of deep relaxation where the mind will become open and lucid.
More specific results can be gained by listening to a guided
visualisation, where we use our imagination to visualise ourselves
in a particular place or situation according to what we hear.
This is usually followed by a period of silence which creates
a space where our higher self can come through and information
can be passed into our conscious mind. The point of the visualisation
before this is to take our mind to a specific place so that we
can gain specific information.
There are also guided visualisations that are used to work with
the various energies that are contained within us.
Best Way to Meditate.
For the best results you should set aside a particular spot that
will be used every time you meditate. It should be a quiet place
where there are no distractions.
You should be comfortable to a point where you able to be still
for a long time but not so comfortable that you are likely to
fall asleep. Many people find that the best way to do this is
to sit up straight on a chair.
If possible you should meditate before a meal rather than just
after eating.
Ideally the best time of day to meditate is early in the morning.
Although meditation is beneficial to us whatever time of day we
choose. It is said that early morning meditation is more effective
as our mind is still relatively quiet after sleep and before the
hustle and bustle of the day has begun. However it is much more
important that you have plenty of time in which to meditate. If
you are worried about how long you are spending and thinking about
where you need to be or what you need to get done then you will
not be able to relax properly.
Physiological Effects.
Meditation is a fantastic way to relax and unwind. This can benefit
the body by reducing stress as well as lowering blood pressure
and pulse rate. Also when you concentrate on a particular part
of the body it increases the blood flow to that part and the cells
receive more oxygen and other nutrients. Today, many of the film
stars and fashion models include meditation in their daily regimen.
Meditation can also reduce anxiety attacks, decrease muscle tension
& even help to build self confidence.

Binaural Beats & Meditation.
Binaural Beats are Not a "New Age" Fad. Binaural Beats
have been researched for almost 170 years. The human brain goes
through many frequency cycles during each day. Different frequencies
produce different effects to the human consciousness. Using this
information, it has been discovered that the brains receiving
and operating frequency can be altered by sound waves. Many of
the most powerful brain frequencies are under 20 Hz. Since the
ear itself does not respond to frequencies below 20 Hz, Binaural
Beat Technology came about which uses the inner wiring of the
brain to produce the frequency with perfect accuracy. This is
a great way to achieve altered states of consciousness that are
perfect for meditation.
Binaural Beats work by broadcasting two separate frequencies
in each ear. For example, if you wanted to tune your brain to
a 7 Hz frequency, you could play 200 Hz in your right ear, and
207 Hz in your left ear. The brain will compensate for the difference
between the two and produce a third tone that will be exactly
7 Hz. This will result in your brain frequency being lowered and
tuned to the desired 7 Hz operating stage..
