CHAPTER 10

THE ANCHOR OF MEDITATION AND PRAYER

Immortality is ever-present in this playground of birth and death.

Again and again each cycle begins with the promise that there is more at work here

than living and dying.

This existence which now feels like a homeland has become your blood,

your sweat, your tears-

its temporary nature forgotten

in the everyday experiences you call your life.

This has become your identity-

it has become your always.

But it is not who you are.

You are the immortal source of all that is.

When you look for it,

you can see it in every face you end up meeting-

you can hear it between the beats your busy heart keeps beating.

When most people think of meditation, the instant image that comes to mind is of a person sitting cross-legged, thumb and forefinger together, with a zoned-out look on their face. Due to a lack of understanding, meditation has taken on the stigma in the western world of being a “hippie” and “hooey” practice that even errs at times on the side of trendiness. Our modern society functions so purely in the physical that meditation has become an impractical practice. This misunderstanding is easily forgivable, because we are a society that degrades the importance of the mind. As such, the true purpose and value of meditation has been lost to us. This is an art form that will come back into daily life for people living in these new times, because meditation is one of the most powerful techniques to apply to the process of sculpting your life.

All meditation is a form of self-inducing a specific state of consciousness. All meditation is designed to help us learn to use our minds instead of continuing the cycle of our minds using us. All meditation is designed to rise to an energetic frequency that is above that of the thinking mind—the mind that is focused purely in the physical dimension. When a person transitions into meditation there is less energetic focus into the physical. The person’s brainwaves, which are usually functioning in the form of beta waves, rise in frequency to function in the form of alpha and theta waves. When a brain transitions into this raised frequency, the result is a deep feeling of relaxation. However, relaxation is just a symptom of the real thing that is occurring in meditation. During meditation you are putting yourself into the pure, indiscriminate, receiving mode of Source. This means you are allowing healing, inspiration, and every other aspect that comes along with Source to course through you without introducing any opposing energetic vibration whatsoever.

The word meditation has been used for a plethora of practices. Some of these are practices in which you are setting aside a block of time dedicated to deliberately using your mind, and therefore, they are more like imagery and visualization. Some involve intense training of focus, while others are designed to let go of the mind completely. There is no right or wrong way to meditate. Every meditation (of which there are so many you could not
