Reflections on our Meditation 1/19/2013

LET US MOVE TOGETHER

LET US SING TOGETHER

LET US COME TO KNOW OUR MINDS TOGETHER

LET US SHARE, LIKE SAGES OF THE PAST

THAT ALL PEOPLE TOGETHER MAY ENJOY THE UNIVERSE

UNITE OUR INTENTIONS

LET OUR HEARTS BE INSEPARABLE

OUR MIND IS ONE MIND FOR WE,

TO TRULY KNOW ONE ANOTHER,

BECOME ONE

***Our growing group meditations are becoming stronger and stronger because our intention as a community to quiet and still the mind, to experience peace, wholeness, and contentment, and to maintain longer periods in higher, more expansive states of consciousness, grounds and connects us as one.  As one group, the focused, concentrated energy is strongly activated and able to be directed versus dispersed.  As we sit next to each other, focusing and directing that energy, feeling the stability within group meditation, each of our experiences can become more rich over time.  As beginning meditators sit with others who have a more developed practice, we naturally tune and resonate together to bring everyone up a notch or more...much like music!  We are tuning our intentions, our energy, our focus such that each one of our journeys in the meditative state, can be more successful.  We are supporting each other and holding a sacred, safe space!***

In this light, we will be singing the above mantra prior to meditation to set the intention.  It is from the Rig Veda and has been sung for thousands of years, carrying with it an imbibed power that facilitates the group into the meditative state.  In the ancient language of Sanskrit, it is vibrational in nature therefore whether one sings it or not, one receives the transformative healing power of the mantra from the physical resonance or vibration one feels when listening to it.  Simply know its' meaning and hold its' intention and one may more quickly, come right to a meditative state.  

Reminder: 

 basic process to yogic meditation that you've learned:

1-Breath to control ones energy flow upward

2-Witness or Observe w/ detachment

3-Focus w/ mantra to anchor the mind

and use a visualization 

4-Relax into meditative flow

5-Peacefully become absorbed by the light or energy of ultimate truth,

compassion, love, peace, union, harmony...

Your comments and reflections:

"Meditation is essential because it connects you to your true self and it is when we are in our true self that we want to help others, that we have compassion for others...."

"Meditation can unify our consciousness..."

"I was able to reach a relaxed, peaceful place..."
