We visited the Global Retreat Centre for a session on the art of Meditiation. I have included a copy of my session notes.
Talk to enable the restoration of balance and focus in life.
Thought is not a problem when improving yourself, it is a creative energy that needs to be understood. We want to change three things about thought;
1) the quality of thought is all about environmental influences, we need to elevate thought beyond the physical experiences.
2) the speed of thought, if we burnout out we can't function and we always need to have a break.
3) the direction of our thoughts, they tend to go out if our bodies in words and we need to direct our thoughts inwards.
There is more to me than this body, I am not just a human, I am a human being and before that I was a spirit being.
"We live in a world of human doings and we can't always live in the moment!"
We need to tap into the energy of being! The soul and the spirit carries that energy.
We need to be honest on our journey of becoming a human being, we need to stay honest to the questions in our life. Humility is being sincerely and genuinely open to learning.
Meditation as an artform?
Lots of pressure from the outside can turn off our inner voices, we need to seek out good company it always helps to nourish our inner voices. Silence is a harmonious energy, it is not the absence of noise or sound. Harmonious sounds invite us in.
I have a body I am not the body.
I have a name it is the name of the body.
I, the being, has a name it is eternal.
The body perishes, yet I the spirit lives on.
I have a form, I have a name it is different from the body.
Soul, spirit, self!
I am made up of the energy of love joy and peace. We need to keep our energies up to connect us with the fresh new energies of self.
Fill me from within rather than externally in materialistic ways.
Room in the mind- a tool to aid meditation
The mind is the room, go into the room, it is full of memories
Organise the room, keep the precious memories, those that are important to you and discard those that hurt or cause harm.
As you tidy the room you notice a door at the back of the room.
Open the door going in to the room it is clean, fresh, and all white.
Step into the room, there is a white rug in the room and in the centre there is a table on the table is a candle. The rays touch all four corners of the room.
If thoughts begin to pop up, make sure you have closed the door.
Become one with the candle allow it to become an energy that is light and free.
The self is a beautiful being of pure light it is in the body but it is not the body.
Things to think about
The I is forever
The spirit is me
In my mind is the devil and Angel are battling which will win the one that I feed.
Be separate from anything inside me that is not part of the true divining being.
Do we have the same colour blood, tears, smile, that is in the brotherhood no matter our external differences the soul is always the same.
Peace is the original religion of the soul,
peace is who we really are, meditation helps you to break through the pollution and get you to the pure water self at the bottom of the pond. The energy of our anger doesn't fit, it doesn't suit us we need to get back to the original divinity.
Meditation is not an art, this is a surgery value the energy of thought.
