On Meditation - Don't just do #1

=Meditation #1=

Meditation Name: Quiet-Mind Meditation (Q-MM)
Type: Concentration, Thought-Control, Entity Detection, Banishing
Technique: Allow your mind to go silent, do not let any dialogues take place in your mind, let no thoughts intrude upon you. Hold your mind in silence for a minimum of about 5 minutes to a maximum of 15 minutes. If you want to go longer that is OK but for daily practise 5-15 minutes will do. If you can make the silent mind your default mental condition throughout the whole day that is even better and you will have more energy to do things without inane internal banter draining you of your vitality.

Comments: This is the most basic and well known meditation which usually precedes many other more advanced meditations. When people think of meditation, this is usually what they know about, even though meditation is so much more than this. I find doing a one-pointedness meditation beforehand easier to clear the mind of invasive thoughtforms or reading 1 to 3 chapters out of an occult book can help. It doesn't always do the job though, like last night for example I picked up an extremely invasive thoughtform from just a few minutes of exposure to a radio and it was very difficult to banish and took about an hour to banish. Radios and televisions are prime sources for nuisance thoughtforms that can disturb the silence and peace in your mind by forcibly repeating themselves in your mind against your will. It can be incredibly easy or incredibly hard to do, depending on what entity attachments you've picked up. It allows you to detect the presence of these attachments because in trying to resist them and keep your mind silent, you can suddenly realize these thoughts are not actually coming from you, but originate as an outside force intruding upon your consciousness against your will. So it serves as a basic entity detection meditation as well although more advanced meditations exist for this purpose and to root out more deeply embedded and less obvious thoughtforms either attached to you or just hanging around in your immediate etheric environment.

=Meditation #2=
Meditation Name: One-Pointedness (1-P)
Type: Concentration, Selective Awareness, Focus, Mental Unification
Technique: Focus on any one thing with one sense and only that one thing. Do not let the mind wander from that one thing. Your mind should concentrate so hard on that one thing that it merges with the object of the meditation. It can be an object around you physically or an object in the astral, or a sound, or a smell, or a feeling, these flowers, etc.

Comments: There are many different meditations that are variations of this type of meditation. I am posting it here in its most generic form because it is a very important meditation but I will probably post specific examples of it later. Doing various types of one-pointedness meditation will massively increase your ability to concentrate and to work with thoughtforms later and focus your will and direct energy. It also will help with telekinesis and feeling yourself in an object such you can move it like its your own body and feel through it and so on.

=Meditation #3=
Meditation Name: Numbers Meditation (NM)
Type: Thoughtforming, Subconscious Processing, Automatic Mentation, Counting
Technique: Visualize numbers in various ways while keeping your mind silent. Add the numbers up at various increments and do simple math. Use arabic numerals and roman numerals. Change around the fonts you use, the method they appear, there colours, how many appear at once, the angle you are viewing them, spin them around, etc.

Comments: This is actually a whole lot of different meditations depending on how you use it. You will notice many details of the numbers are subconsciously filled in. When beginning to visualize the number you might not think at all about what font or colour you want to use yet that will be automatically filled out as you will notice and you can look at them closer. This is a basic thoughtforming practise and also serves the purpose of restraining an automatic response; normally when people look at numbers or words they inevitably read it in their minds. You say "ONE", "TWO", "THREE", etc. but in this exercise you are not do to that. You are supposed to just watch as the numbers are added up before you. In doing this you discover a deeper layer of thinking that lays behind words and manage to tap in more strongly into your subconscious powers. Whenever you handle any cash or do any counting during your day, you should attempt to do it via this method. You will also notice that loosh powers up your number thoughtforms and makes them more complex and appear more clearly… if you aren't putting much loosh into it they will be vague and hard to see but if you concentrate on some of your numbers then pour loosh (emotions) into it they will grow stronger quickly (depending upon how well you hold your concentration on it and the intensity of your emotion). Doing this you will learn how to actually use your loosh.

=Meditation #4=
'Meditation Name:' Body Awareness Meditation
'Type:' Awareness-Targeting, Etheric Modification, Energy-Work
Technique: Focus your awareness on a part of your body. Then another part… and another. You may jump your awareness around from one point to another or sweep your awareness through your body. You may also sweep back and fourth over a part to create an effect within the etheric body. By playing around with how you focus your awareness (through feeling btw, not visualization, although you can combine visualization to the feeling) many effects are produced through the energetic/subtle body.

'Comments:' Doing this meditation strengthens the astral body, helps you target parts of your body with awareness, and will prepare you for doing operations of all sorts upon your body using the awareness to target the part and then intentions and emotions to make modifications to and program that part. This is essentially what New Energy Ways by Robert Bruce was about and the technique has been expanded on in Energy Work. It makes astral projection easier.

=Meditation #5=
Meditation Name: Invoking Earth
Type: Trance, Relaxation, Heavy, Feeling
Technique: Relax your body. I suggest letting your arms drop to your sides, then laying down, then raising up leg for a moment and letting it drop, then the other, and so on. Use your intention and if you want some visualization and body awareness to bring in a sedating effect through your whole body. Feel extremely heavy and let your body collapse. Alternatively hold a posture and invoke Earth by making the posture feel solid and unbreakable, intending that you can not change it.

Comments: Very useful for developing finer muscle control, strength, making modifications to your body, resting, fixing posture, and concentrating high levels of etheric energy into yourself for various uses.
