  Thank you for the progress you have made on your spiritual journey to be able to do this meditation. You have come a long way, congratulations! We can get into our mediation posture. If we are sitting in a chair, please have your feet flat on the ground. We can all sit with our backs as straight as possible without being uncomfortable. Place your left hand palm up, then place your right hand palm up on top of your left hand. Gently place your thumbs together and point them towards your belly button. We can close our eyes to prevent distractions. We will start off with a relaxation by thinking to ourselves, My forehead is relaxed and allow yourself to relax. We can think my eyes are relaxed and feel the tension around our eyes dissipate. My face is relaxed. My entire head is completely relaxed. My throat is warm and comfortable. My neck is relaxed. My shoulders are relaxed and free of all tension and stress, just let it go. My upper arms are relaxed. My lower arms and hands...

For this breathing meditation we will not be following the breath on it's journey into and out of our bodies, but we will be concentrating on our abdomen. If we are breathing properly our abdomen will expand when we inhale and deflate when we exhale. If you find that your shoulders are rising and falling with your breath then you are breathing too shallow and this may be from too much stress. You need to try to breath more deeply and purposefully into your abdomen. Remember, if you catch your mind wandering during the meditation you are not failing, but actually succeeding because you are become more aware of your mind and beginning to gain control over it. This meditation will include a relaxation technique, a healing technique, the virtuous motivation or intention, the meditation itself, the virtuous dedication to keep our good karma safe and then the return process. So, let's get started. We need to get into our meditation posture. Sitting in a chair, we place ...

Hopefully, you are making positive changes to your life and working towards becoming the best version of you. If you are anything like me, you will probably run into difficulties. You might be struggling to stop engaging in negative behaviours, whether that is lying, stealing, or harming others in other ways. They become habits and we can do these things without even being aware we are doing them. We can mindlessly punch our friend in the arm as a joke or when they upset us. We may be so familiar with lying that we have trouble even knowing what is true anymore. We could suffer from being a kleptomaniac or some other problem. The more we do negative things, the more often we automatically do them with no thought behind them really. The problem is that we have undisciplined minds and we usually do what our mind or ego tells us to do rather than trying to control our impulses. Trying to stop doing these things when it is almost our nature to do them can be tricky and overwhelming a...

Thank you for choosing to learn to meditate in the correct way and thank you for wanting to make spiritual progress. The reason we want to meditate is to discipline our mind and gain better control over it, so that we may explore it fully. It is the only way we can truly make spiritual progress. The way to tell if your meditation is successful is whenever you catch your mind wandering. The fact that you suddenly realize your mind has wandered shows that you are gaining control and succeeding. I will guide you through all the steps to have a successful meditation from how to sit right through to how to return gently to most benefit your mind. This photo shows how to put place your hands during the meditation.   Hand position or mudra for meditating For this breathing meditation we will not be following the breath on it's journey into and out of our bodies, but we will be concentrating on the rim of our nostrils or our upper lip if you are unable to breath through your nos...

  Thank you for choosing to work on your spiritual path in an upward manner. The place to begin is to work on becoming a kinder person. By showing kindness to others, we are showing them that we care about them. We begin to show that we have empathy and compassion for them. In a way, we are showing that we love and value them. This can be difficult if you are not familiar with behaving this way at all or if you are in a situation that others will take advantage of you, use you or abuse you. We need to remember that anyone that causes you or others harm does not know the damage they are causing themselves. They are acting out of ignorance. They simply do not know what they are doing. They do not know the consequences they will have to face in the future or they wouldn't behave that way. We can try to show these people kindness, but if they continue to harm us we need to separate ourselves from them. After all, we are not being kind to them if we allow them to harm us, because we...

 If you truly wish to make spiritual progress, then you need to meditate in the right way. If you do not meditate, then you will not advance enough to make any significant changes. Anyone that refuses to meditate has negative karma ripening and is limiting themselves from attaining real freedom. If anyone claims to be a spiritual teacher, yet refuses to meditate, then they are someone you should stay clear of, because they will be limited in what they can teach you or they might not know what they are doing. We live in degenerate times, so many meditations are useless and some of them are even harmful. The idea that you need to make your mind completely blank with no thoughts whatsoever, is harmful. If you do this meditation you are creating the future result that you will have trouble being able to think, which will cause you problems. If you learn to meditate the correct way, which is to learn to focus your mind and concentrate on virtue, then you can make real spiritual progr...
