Diversity in Meditation

Meditation is a group of broadly similar practices, or sets of practices which are found across many cultures and traditions.

Meditation has been practised since ancient times in most religious traditions and beliefs. There is considerable homogeneity in meditative practices across the various traditions, despite there being over fifty methods for developing mindfulness and forty for developing concentration.

Contemplation is a very old and important meditation technique and is an important aspect to achieve Life Force Meditation.  Why not explore some of the diverse aspects of meditation today?

What is Modern Meditation?

Modern meditative practices have been influenced by Eastern philosophy, yoga, Hinduism and Buddhism; combined with some aspects of Western culture to evolve into a range of various techniques. Many of these techniques aim to bring serenity and balance within you, allowing access to other realms of consciousness. Most of the practices involve the participant setting aside some specific time during the day for undertaking their meditations.

Over recent decades, modern meditation has morphed, with mindfulness programs bursting onto the scene. Their key tenant is to live in the moment with non-judgmental awareness. Many modern meditative practices include techniques such as: mindful breathing, the body scan meditation, or letting thought arise and pass.

All techniques have their place. Ensure that you task your meditative practices with renewed focus, to help you adequately deal with the challenges of life. In whatever form of meditation you perform, always apply your focus and set clear intentions for the greatest benefit.

What is my Life Force?

Over the years, much has been written about the power source behind our human mechanism. The living energies which are present in all living things are your Life Force.

You may relate to your Life Force energy as an inner awareness, your true essence, your spirit dwelling within, or your soul, to name but a few. Some may see this concept as elusive, vague, intangible and often a mystery hidden within religion. The ability to work with your Life Force energies is not a mystery but is achievable through Cognition (a true calmness of mind) and Ekagrata (focused thought).

What is the Universal Force?

The Universal Force permeates all things and maintains the structure of the Universe as we know and perceive it. Without the Universal Force, all matter would decay into an uncontrolled state or into a higher state of entropy. We are all immersed within the energies of the Universal Force, but so few people are aware of its existence. The energies of the Universal Force fills space with Prema, an omnipresent energy of harmlessness.

 

Knowing and experiencing the energy of the Universal Force as you breathe it into every part of your being, can bring great strength, harmony and upliftment to all aspects of your life.
