Introduction
The
Transformative Power of Meditation
Walking
the spiritual path is a very subtle process; it is not something
to jump into naively. There are numerous sidetracks which lead to
a distorted, ego-centered version of spirituality; we can deceive
ourselves into thinking we are developing spiritually when instead
we are strengthening our egocentricity through spiritual techniques.

Insight Meditation-Balancing
Subtle Energy of the Body, Mind & Emotions provides simple and
powerful keys to understand the inner workings of your true self.
Through various forms of meditation and contemplative modes you
become aware of the patterns that drive your actions, the beliefs
at your emotional core and the mentally circuitous thoughts that
cause personal dramas to repeat. This cognitive dissonance is experienced
from unharmonized personal energy with Source, which is the root
of the basic opposition within and in the world. Unharmonized energy
is the underlying causation of what is called the influence of evil.
Evil is rebellion with Spirit, divergent from the stream of “The
One Life,” whose quality underlies all existence. Rebellion
is seen in the destructive material influences that pull and gain
the upper hand to interrupt and divert you from your Souls potential.
The essence of all evil denies the freedom and individuality of
every Soul which creates a form of paralysis on all levels of being
through the constant misdirection of Source's energy. This bondage
unto lower influences creates a separateness of consciousness with
the Mind of Unity.
The antidote to misdirectedness,
the delusions and inner rebellion that leads us astray from the
true purpose of life is found in Meditation techniques that help
to fuse the inherent opposites within and in relation to another.
Meditation assists in reflection so that personal energy can be
redirected away from conflict and onto optimal ways to meet any
challenge.
Meditation stills
the personality and moves you away from distraction to look within.
This awakens and engages the other side of your being, the Soul
that is more immediately connected to the spiritual world where
you begin to see that you are not separate, but an integral part
of the whole. The spiritual plan includes you. It has always involved
every energy, every hand, every head, and every heart of this world.
So, with consistent
meditative practice your perceptions deepen, your awareness awakens
and your consciousness rises to align the creative mind of your
Soul under free will with the higher Will of Source. As your personality
opens to its real mission real connections are seen between the
physical and the spiritual world. This deepens the meaning of all
that happens, which makes life more interesting day by day.
Using a combination
of various forms of hand and body gestures, meditations, neuro-respiratory
exercises, affirmative prayer and vocal harmonics supported by the
wisdom of Universal Law you begin to clarify your life. As your
inner dichotomies are revealed and bridged a greater awareness of
the Self unlocks.
Self-awareness is
very good medicine. In fact, self-awareness is transformative. These
energy health techniques are subtly powerful having the ability
to align and integrate your personality into individuation-to establish
an authentic existence along the convoluted path in acquisition
of authentic truth. Meditation takes you to direct experience so
that you can know for yourself.
Applying these transformative
techniques with practice and self-discipline you learn how to tune
your own instrument in creative alignment with the Greater Rhythm,
to trust the intuition of your inner compass, voice the truth of
your deepest Self and finally to express your Inner Light within
the world with Grace.
Many Blessings on
Your Path to Authentic Self
