Meditation – instructions and description of how to enter into meditation
Everybody often meditates on something… We meditate on all kinds of things in many ordinary situations. But in case we want to gain a deeper insight, it is necessary to concentrate more than we are used to in our normal state of mind. A meditation with concentration is mostly “done” in a sitting position—often in a lotus position. Nevertheless, this is not a must, and we can meditate with this ball in any relaxed position if it helps our concentration. The first phase of meditation stems from concentration. This has to be practiced by visualizing a thought, sensation, color, or a specific point.The second phase, which should go hand in hand with the first one, is observation. This involves the perception of our bodily functions, such as our breath or pulse, which helps to set us free from other distracting thoughts. Such concentration and perception lead to a quiet mind. This is important since a jumpy mind cannot help us to enter into meditation.As soon as the mind calms down, becomes desireless, and is free from wishes, a true meditative state is achieved with the sphere. Our consciousness expands, and its center is often located between our eyebrows. It is very individual which realms we enter during meditation. It depends heavily on the level of one’s spirituality and on our personal ability to meditate. There is no need to have feelings of disappointment stemming from falling short of what we would like to achieve. There always comes a certain progress, even though it is not immediately obvious to us. What we need to do is to continue, and noticeable results will come. Sooner or later.
Meditating on anything, we can gain an unbroken chain of information about the given thing or an event. It is an immersion, a deep insight into the situation. In addition to the concentrations mentioned above, which are important for a beginner's practice with the ball, one can also meditate on a certain process. More advanced meditators can meditate on the growth of a plant, visualizing its development. It begins as a seed in the soil, becoming a growing stalk with leaves, allowing you to observe the development of pistils and opening blossoms as the sun shines upon it.One can also easily visualize other processes and actions through this sphere. An even higher level of meditation is a prayer, although prayer itself is not a direct meditation. It is more of an emotional pathway through which the same results can be achieved. Combining both—observing our prayer while meditating—we fill the general spiritual space.Besides the meditation itself, we need to live up to certain moral standards. Otherwise, an improper form of meditation would occur. We would like to refine ourselves in order to develop, but others would be set aside. Such a meditation would be selfish. What we gain in meditation here is to be shared also with other people.
How long should we meditate? There are no time limits, and it is very individual. What is more important than a certain length is regularity—rhythm. Even a shorter time may serve its purpose in this case. Power is substituted by the rhythm! The main focus of a meditation can also be to harmonize something. A properly “done” meditation purifies our mind as well as our soul and body. Meditation with this ball serves as a spiritual replenishment for our souls, aligning us beautifully with the energy of the sphere…
It is possible to meditate directly with the ball by visualizing its colors and realizing the meaning of every symbol and connection, as it has been described in the spiritual symbols of shapes and colors section. The ET can also be used to strengthen other meditations. While meditating, we can hold the sphere or just place it in front of us and subsequently apply any meditation technique.
Revitalizing meditation with the ET ET
The meditation can also become a revitalizing one. It is a meditation combined with relaxation. The basic method has been described in the direct use section. Other possibilities involve various levels of visualization—either focusing on the whole body or on specific areas, where we visualize how the revitalizing energy flows through the sphere into our being as a whole or into its parts, chakras, and so on. On top of the visualization, we can also enhance the vitalization process by holding the ball near a specific chakra.What is not recommended is to hold the ball in front of the sixth chakra (the third eye), since an excessive energetic pressure could occur. Therefore, it is more desirable to hold the ball anywhere between the first and the fourth chakra (the bodily chakras). Doing this, some people may experience various levels of disembodiment, mainly while holding the sphere near the third chakra—on their solar plexus. It is not dangerous with the ET in this case because a protective connection gets created and nobody is allowed to go further beyond their capacity. The most suitable time for this is in the morning just after waking up, when our mind is still not wide awake and we are still partially in connection with the spiritual world.
Meditation, self-confidence and growth, other levels of meditation...
By meditating we create a tool for learning more about ourselves and others and for our „inner cleanup“. We can dissolve blocks hidden deep in our subconsciousness and exceptionally even reach the state of enlightenment. Meditation strengthens our self-confidence and supports our overall growth. It is based on experiencing our minds in a different way. When one can see, hear, feel then he/she can observe how ideas from outer worlds live their own lives through our minds. One opens himself up to the situation and thoughts start popping up. Doing so, one cannot make great progress since ordinary thoughts are not still so powerful. What matters is that one should begin to think and feel at the same time! If we intensify individual thoughts or processes in meditation, they will gain power in the same way that muscles get more power by doing physical exercises. Initial simple exercises can lead us to the state where we begin to perceive our days from a new perspective. A short, meditative exercise can gradually become a part of our days. If we learn to take hold of our thoughts, they will no longer be weak and we will be able to use them in the same way that we use our muscles to move our hand. To cut a long story short, we need our thoughts to play its role in a really creative process and meditation helps in this.
Gradually, all spatial perceptions on the physical level should be eliminated from the meditation. We should integrate what manifests and exists in the astral world and attaches to our sensory perceptions—such as colors, sounds, fragrances, and light—into our meditation with this ball. Spiritual beings are present in everything that can be perceived by our senses; they show their presence in colors, fragrances, and tones. As soon as we become aware of these facts, our perception will change. Even words and concepts will become different.For example, if we meditate with the sphere on the concept of “wisdom,” not only will we gain a deeper understanding of its real meaning, but a part of wisdom itself will gradually flow into our being. We will begin to perceive that truth, compassion, and love are the most powerful aspects of humanity. They transform everything that stands in their way into good. Then truth will surface within us, and compassion will become a part of who we are, since love is a power that does not rule, but creates…
