MEDITATION 101

Consider Honoring each day as a gift and/or ending your daily affairs by setting aside time (w/@least 20 minutes).  This SACRED PLACE and time has the ability to renew energies, allowing one to stay clear and in harmony with the understanding that the same energy that governs our cosmos, governs the  flows of our lives as well. It takes simple commitment, along with some basic approaches to tap into the "in-dwelling Christ Consciousness"-" Presence" or "Collective Consciousness", it matters not the words chosen to describe that Divine Spark of Light and Love, that resides within each of us. Simple Requirements such as:

The Posture of the Body - Sit preferably on the floor in a dedicated space, with your legs crossed in the full or half lotus (Indian style), with knees pushing against earth, while reaching for the sky with your head. If a cushion is needed, a folded towel, or small pillow can be helpful. For those unable to sit on the floor a chair can be used placing your feet solidly planted on the ground. Your spine is straight as an arrow, with the pelvis tilted slightly forward, while the belly is relaxed, and the chin is drawn in. The shoulder fall back and down relaxed, as your chest stays open and frees the Breath.

* Hand Positions -There are many Mudras (hand positions) that can be used with different intentions. For a simple introduction, rest your left hand in the right, with palm facing towards heaven, with the thumbs joined, resting in the lap. The tip of your tongue gently settles on roof of the mouth behind front teeth. Your shoulders drop naturally and are kept soft, as your hands rest on lap or knees,  or both palms on knees towards the heavens in a receiving position.

* The Eyes - can gaze into a candle's flame, or simply kept open directing the soft gaze downward at nothing or the tip of your nose.  Many will close our eyes focusing on the space between the eyes, known as the third eye area, or the 6th Brow Chakra, this inner eye is connected to the Pineal Gland. Soften the tiny muscles surrounding your Eyes, letting goo of tension in the bundle of nerves deep within center of your brain. Soften your GAZE IN LIFE,  allows Clear Sight for you and those under your gaze!!  Bringing a sense of PEACE behind your EYES1 Expanding your sight, your vision towards Opening for CLEAR VISION + SIGHT...
