Tips for a Deep and Surreal Meditation Experience
It happens to me all the time. In fact, if I’m not careful, it probably will happen in every session that I sit down to meditate. It goes something like this.
I sit down to meditate. I’m hit with a lot of thoughts from the past or the future. I’m more conscious of something else coming up right after meditation, and so my attention doesn’t go deep enough. More than this, my attitude is somewhat superficial, nonchalant and casual – as though meditation is a daily chore and I have the typical “Let’s get this over with” feeling inside me.
Result? I barely touch even the basic benefits of meditation and worse, I end up spending 15 to 20 minutes pretending that I’ve completed my daily meditation.
With experience, I learned how to do the exact opposite – get a meaningful, profound and surreal experience out of my daily meditation by focusing on a few essential things.
Navigating the Journey of Meditation
You’ve stumbled upon Sahaja, done some reading, and may be wondering where to start. While our quick start guide is a great place to start, you may be wondering what you need inside of yourself to make this journey successful. The good news is – if you’re seeking and asking yourself those kinds of questions – you’re already well on your way.
Let’s look at the few important things that rank high on Sahaja meditators’ list for beginning or staying on this journey of meditation.
Meditation is a State, not an activity
We’re all familiar with the use of the verb “meditate.” By now, you’ve probably heard more than one person proclaim, “I meditate daily.” But – if we take a closer look – is there something inherently wrong with that statement?
Clears Blockages via Guided Meditation
The guided meditation that we offer here at Sahaja Online provides many benefits, and different people experience the effects in different ways. Far too often, people want to quantify things, but this is not always possible.
There are some human experiences that cannot be adequately conveyed in words. You may have an innate intuition that is telling you there is some type of underlying force or energy that has everything to do with the way that events unfold around you. Many people have become interested in so called “new age” theories and philosophies over recent years. There have been many books and movies released that have given people a lot of food for thought.
Guided Meditation and the Collective Unconscious
You may wonder why Sahaja Online offers guided meditation sessions that include hundreds of participants at the same time, and the answer lies in the concept of the collective unconscious. In the West, the noted psychiatrist Carl Jung wrote a lot about it. In essence, he contended that by virtue of being human beings, we all have access to the shared memories of the species.
