Stage One-Meditation Practice
People generally ask me where to begin a spiritual practice which meditations to use in the beginning of a practice where someone is just starting out as a novice in meditation.
The following three meditations are ones I would highly recommend for those of you just starting your spiritual practice and I will try to explain each one. Please be advised that you will have to DISCIPLINE yourself to do any and all of these meditations and create a REGIMEN in your daily life that revolves around meditation.
They are NOT to be done like you would go to the gym with the expectations of enlightenment or a “better life” as it were. Let the meditations take you where they need to and you will find the Way within you as very simple and clear. If you need help you may always call me.
You will need, eventually, a teacher to guide you along and through the difficulties of a practice that overcomes the emotions and ego states that many just hand their lives over too. Gregory is fully aware of all of these as he as faced them many times in his practice. He can help you through "spiritual coaching" sessions and will help you to overcome your blocks and find a new flow to your life that is Life giving and Heartfelt. Please go to the counseling page for more information as well. Or call Gregory for more information (831) 622-8410.
I also highly recommend ambient music to be played in the background which I had Bodhi make a few years ago– that I feel will keep an even tone within you if listen to consistently. The ambient music literally supports your practice and is to be played at very low levels as often as possible. I keep ambient music in my home playing 24/7.
Meditation one – Heavy Breathers
We all need a catharsis each and every day–thus this meditation is to be done seven days a week. A catharsis is where we let go of our hurt, our pain and our sorrow. This “anger energy” runs very deep within us as a form of our unconscious mental and emotional structure. Within heavy breathers you are asked to bring your energy up from your root chakra to your heart and let the anger come out of the throat chakra opening your mouth and allowing all of the painful energy to be removed from your psyche. This allows you to be more empty and thus allowing you to do the other meditations below more freely. They will have a much higher influence upon you if you are just a little more empty. There is a DVD that you can get separately that will show you how to do this meditation if you have never done it before. You may need to see this DVD to understand the power of heavy breathers.
Donation $25 with DVD $50. All proceeds go to purchase airtime of Aspire and portions of this donation are tax-deductible.
Meditation Two: Om-The Reverberation Of Life
This meditation combines Vipassana (insight meditation that Buddha taught) a walking meditation done in silence and “Om-ing” at the end. This meditation should be done three times a week and combines some beautiful inner tones of brain waves in the background, which were derived from enlightened masters who allow themselves to be attached to biofeedback machines in the late 70s. You will find this soothing and renewing meditation simple, kind and helpful. It is the very mental construct of a spiritual practice. In it you will learn how to do Vipassana meditation– which is simply the art of watching your breath and looking for the pauses and the gaps between the breaths. You will then be asked to stand up and slowly walk keeping your focus on the breath as you walk and then you will end your session with “Om-ing” which allows your breath to be blended with hundreds of other beautiful voices that are recorded on this CD for you–creating a deep connection with the Soul as oneness.
Donation $25 and all proceeds are used to purchase more airtime of aspire. Portions of this donation are tax-deductible.
Meditation Three: Forgiveness Meditation:
Within all of us is the need for forgiveness. This meditation will help you forgive by lowering your resistance to forgiveness through Love and letting go of certain emotional impulses that plague us generally such as subtle hate and vengeance.
This meditation literally wears away at emotions that hold us to anger and fear – self-hatred and offer us the liberation to our spiritual Hearts that truly free us from any emotional attachment to hatred and anger for another person– but more importantly for ourselves which is the root cause of all "hardness of heart" in a human beings life.
This meditation should be done three times a week at least.
The donation for this meditation is $25 and the proceeds are used to purchase more airtime of Aspire. Portions of this donation are tax-deductible.
Ambient Music: SPRING
I highly suggest ambient music in the background of your day. We listen, unconsciously to a great deal of noise during the day that unconsciously “troubles” the mind and causes our emotions to become agitated without us really knowing why. To counteract this…I present to you…ambient music that SUPPORTS your practice.
This ambient music is some of the most beautiful that Bodhi ever made. It should be played in the background at very low audio levels so the tones and textures may reach your unconscious mind healing you. You will find it even has an odd calmness overtaking you as you do the above three meditations and listen to this ambient music in the background.
Donation $25 all proceeds are used to purchase more airtime of Aspire and portions of this donation are tax-deductible.
