Meditation, just like anything else, has been through
a lot of changes since its first inception thousand of years ago.
Today, we know people are practicing Healing Meditation, Transcendental
Meditation, Zen Meditation, Mantra Meditation, Hindu Meditation. The
list goes on with Moving Meditation, Passive Meditation, Candle Light
Meditation, and a few others. For beginners, the overwhelming numbers
of techniques, literatures and advertisements could be very confusing.
For those who has already started one technique, this could also create
a problem, because each technique claims that it's the best technique.
Before
we go on deciding which technique is the best, let's begin with what is
Meditation? Meditation is one way you communicate and become one with
The One, The Beginning of Everything, or God we used to call It. The
true essence of meditation is to feel and experience the unity itself.
After all, we are all Light Beings seeking human experience, not the
other way around. A lot of beginners are not well informed about this,
and they meditate for healing, for "spiritual growth" or even ascension
without really understanding what that means.
Some people go all
the way to meditate with an extreme measures, just because it has been
the only way in their cultures. Some belief meditation could make one
to become "God like" or some kind of super human. People are doing this
because they feel that they are only human who needs more power to
become more like Spiritual Beings. They forget that we are all part of
The One. We do not need more and special power to become like Him, we
only need to be fully conscious that we are part of Him. We already
have the Power.
Now that we are fully aware what meditation is
all about, and what meditation could and could not do to you, what is
really the best Meditation Technique? The best technique is the one
which brings you closer and closer to The One. The best technique is
the technique which "remind" you who you really are , regain your full
potential and full consciousness. This technique never ask you to give
your power away to any living person or even Light Masters. It could be
accessed directly from The One, not through any particular ritual or
certain teachings.
The fact of the matter is, meditation
technique is as personal as the individual itself. Trust your
intuition, follow your heart, and go with the technique you're most
comfortable with. Always think of your teachers as your fellow traveler
with respect, but do not give your power away.
Do your meditation
regularly in the stage of Pure Unconditional Love. This must not feel
like a chore, do it because you are fully aware that we are all part of
The One, we are all Light Beings seeking human experience. Happy
Meditating.
