There are many places to go to learn how to meditate; this is my take. This is how I have been guided to meditate.

Make yourself comfortable on an easy chair or couch with comfortable temperatures. Relax, do your breathing paths and, before you drop off to sleep, focus yourself on a corner. This corner may be totally in your mind or across the room at the ceiling (or floor).

Why a corner? Because every corner is three 90-degree planes that form a point. If you think about it, that point can be a pin prick size or much, much smaller.

Here’s what I do. I put my awareness along all three sides of the corner and I push myself towards that point in the corner. I keep pushing myself into that point until I break through to the “still” place.

This is an easy way to always get to that “still” place. For me, I can have a variety of “still” places, but I have learned to select one with a visual waterfall in the background with water flowing through a round basin. The water in the basin is STILL.

OK. Next, I say “I am Here” and wait. Sure enough, all of those EXTRANEOUS thoughts arrive; you know, the ones that are supposed to distract you from re-joining with the ONE.

Here is what I DO to Them. I visualize each Extraneous thought as a pebble and toss it into the basin. Each time I throw a though pebble in, it creates ripples. If I toss several pebbles in, the ripples cross flow into each other.

By DOing this, I am taking the Distractions and asking Spirit to help me with my distractions. I am Sending them away from me. This works; the Distractions go away and you reach your Point of Serenity.

Each time that you do the above, the Distractions will become less and less powerful.

For beginners, it may be useful to visualize the Distractions as bricks or large rocks. Don’t worry, the basin is deep and will accept all of your distractions.

Another tip: Once you find your “Still” place and it feels “RIGHT,” tell yourSelf to remember this place as you want to return.

More on the point in each corner; it is the Aether. It is the Zero-Point-Energy (ZPE) field. It is the Quantum. It is the SOURCE of all energies. It is the STILL Place. It is Spirit.

Once you are in the Still Place and your distractions are finished with, you can ask to be energized or healed or given more resources to do things. If you have more to do or more to give, you can ask for more time. My point is that when you have re-connected with Spirit, you can talk/share/ask/dialog/speak/pray for anything; when you get to your Still Place, you are having an audience with the Divine.

Love, Light and Laughter,
