What is meditation?
How do I practice meditation?
Meditation is a method to block off the worldly vibration of this three-dimensional world and begin communication with the Real World, the heavenly world.
The Real World is a place where people go after leaving this world and it is also a place where we originate. Human beings are spiritual existences that normally reside in the other world. When they feel it is necessary or feel they need to go through a spiritual training for the advancement of their souls, they come down to this world to undergo discipline. Then, after several decades of their life on earth, guided by their guardian and guiding spirits, they return to the other world where they are originally from.
However, people living on earth tend to forget about this Truth and the existence of the other world. This results in a selfish way of live and the vibration of their mind becomes quite rough. A rough vibration of the mind attracts negative vibrations from the hellish world, disrupting people's lives and blocking off any positive influence from the heavenly world. It is important for us to be able to maintain a positive and refined vibration because of this.
So, ultimately, the focus of meditation is to tone one's mind to the refined vibration of the heavenly world and become a person that can receive guidance from their guardian and guiding spirits.
First of all, always start meditation with proper breathing. It is important to breath in from the nose all the way down through the chest into the lower abdomen. Once the inhaled air reaches within, quietly breath out from the mouth. Breath out little by little as if a thread of air is coming out through your mouth. By controlling your breathing in this way, you can gradually tone your mind.
Also, as you learn, you will come to understand that self-reflection and prayer are something important to practice before meditation. It is vital that your are receiving guidance from the heavenly world when you practice meditation. To receive guidance, you yourself must be a person that qualifies to receive that guidance. In other words, you must purify your mind through self-reflection in order to attune yourself to the heavenly world and be humble enough to say prayers of gratitude for the guidance you are receiving.
Are there different types of meditation?
Yes, meditation can be classified into 3 groups.
The first group is "meditation to maintain a mental balance". This is a type of meditation to tone one's mental wavelength and receive light from the heavenly world.
The second group is "meditation for a purpose". This is a type of meditation practiced in order to achieve a certain goal. Some examples are, reflective meditation, "meditation for light," "meditation for self-realization" and more.
The third group is "meditation for direct interaction for the Real World". In the second group of meditation, you are still positioning yourself in the world and practicing meditation in this world. However, in the third group, you are uniting yourself with the Real World or becoming a resident of the Real World. In other words, with this third type of meditation, one goes through an "out-of-body experience".
What effects can I expect from meditation?
Firstly, meditation can help you get rid of worldly concerns, worries, needless fears and anxieties.
Secondly, meditation will teach us the true meaning of happiness with sensation. This means, you can feel gods' light and the existence of the high-level spirits in the heavenly world. This can also be called a trance. This sense of great happiness spreads throughout your whole body and will become greater as you repeat meditation.
Thirdly, meditation will allow you to establish yourself as an independent driver that has the control of the steering wheels to your own life. People are often swept through in the great river of destiny as they live. Meditation allows us to discover our true selves that have been swept through in this great river and teach us how to control it. In other words, meditation can serve as a key to success in life or as a method to control one's own destiny.
