Avoiding Lower Rebirth Meditation

We want to avoid taking rebirth in one of the lower realms in the future. The suffering in the animal, hungry ghost and hell realms is far worse than what we endure in this human life. We also have no chance to make spiritual progress in those rebirths, as our suffering will be too great to bear. Negative karma causes us to take rebirth in the animal realm, heavier negative karma will cause us to end up in the hungry ghost realm and the heaviest negative karma we engage in will cause us to be born in hell. It is very easy for us to gain negative karma in this very lifetime. Simply squatting a mosquito in anger can create the cause to be reborn in hell. In this life and all our previous lives we have done many bad actions. We know this is true because of the difficulties we go through in our lives now. We need to do our best to change our impulses to behave badly, so we do not give ourselves even more negative karma. We can meditate to make our mind familiar with the danger of doing...

Watchful Mind Meditation

We want to sit in our meditation posture, if you are sitting in a chair have your feet flat on the ground. Sit with your back as straight as possible without being uncomfortable. Place your left hand palm up and then your right hand palm up. Place your right hand on top of your left and gently touch your thumbs together. Place your hands in your lap and point your thumbs towards your belly button. Then slightly lower your chin. Close your eyes to reduce any distractions. We can think to ourselves, my forehead is relaxed and allow yourself to become relaxed. We can think my eyes are relaxed and feel the tension around your eyes soften. My face is relaxed. My jaw 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 are relaxed. My chest is open, warm and relaxed. My stomach is relaxed and free of all stress ...

Thought Bubble - Daily 5 Minute Meditation on Love

  In these degenerate times, doing this brief 5 minute meditation on love can give you a vast amount of good karma, so be sure to do the dedication at the end to safeguard it. We want to get into our meditation posture. We want to sit with our backs as straight as possible without feeling uncomfortable. Close your eyes to minimize distractions. We can think to ourselves, “I am doing this meditation to improve my mind, so that I may benefit everyone I come into contact with either directly or indirectly.” We can imagine as many people or animals in front of us that we wish to send love to. We can include as many living beings that we are comfortable with. Once we have pictured as many living beings in front of us that we can, we can then imagine our chosen deity or our higher self above us. We can imagine they are sending us pure love in the form of white light and nectar from their heart, gently flowing down to the crown of our head where it enters our body and flows do...

Thought Bubble - Guided Alternate Breathing Meditation - Good for Beginners

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 ...

Thought Bubble - You Need to Meditate for Spiritual Advancement

 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...
