A Purpose for Meditating

A Purpose for Meditating, or a desire for the outcome, is what I challenge your mind to consider.  Many people meditate for the simple sensation of relaxation, that escape from the agitated mind and muscles that run their hamster-wheel of life.  But I’m suggesting developing your awareness in these blog entries.  So, I challenge you to set a purpose for your meditation. 
​
There are many, many ways you may proceed in this endeavor.  Is there a certain topic of information that you want to receive?  Do you want to understand who or what is supplying you with the knowledge or ideas you are receiving while in a meditative state?  Are you curious to reach out to a specific person or animal to share a conscious state of understanding with?  Do you want to transcend time and communicate with beings that are no longer alive in your current timeline?  These are but a few ideas you may consider. 

I write about the challenges and triumphs I experienced when developing as a medium who talks to “dead people,” and as a pet psychic who communicates with both living, and “dead” pets.  My first publication, The Skeptic Psychic, delt with my fear of who, or what, was supplying me with the knowledge I was receiving.  My mind NEEDED to associate the source of the information, the brief blasts of visions, the previously unknown knowledge, even the syncopation of “talking in tongues.”  And when I heard those foreign words, and could remember enough to write them down, I also developed the ability to speak in tongues.  But your path could be totally different from mine.

Einstein and Tesla both received inspirational knowledge from an unknown source, and they did not fear, nor did they need to understand, the personality, or personalities, of the supplier of those ideas that would flood their minds.  With this said, you, too, may not choose to understand the unseen being on the “other side” providing you with insight.  There is no correct or incorrect here, just desire and intent.  But understand that unresolved emotions can, and will, be a block in your journey.

I was raised as a Catholic and programmed to believe in the existence of unseen “evil” beings that meant to cause me harm.  This fear of the unknown was part of my journey to heal from.  Experimentation, lots of it, has convinced me that there is no evil, just societal restrictions created to hold the population in check.  Fear can keep the masses compliant while the few enjoy the abundance of ruling, a paternal practice our current culture has been successful practicing for thousands of years.  But this is not how our ancestors existed.

Communal cultures of love and acceptance of diversity have thrived over the millennia.  An ancestral culture without fear of having enough food, or being destroyed, or being shunned, or anyone of the plethora of tactics that the ruling class uses to remain in charge is foreign to many, but the norm to some indigenous cultures of today.  In my upcoming book, The Pet Psychic, I site some of these indigenous cultural beliefs, what our modern culture calls “Shamanism,” and use the concept of “merging” with the consciousness of an animal to communicate with my client’s pets.  I, personally, practiced merging through meditation, or “journeying” with a species of an animal.  Like me, your meditation practice may focus upon a wolf, a rabbit, a horse or any species. This is yet another focus to hone your meditation practice into.

Your intention might be to “astral travel,” a practice what our ancestors have mastered and you, too, can perfect.  Fear of “not returning” could have been placed within your psyche, but rest assured, I’ve always awoken using a simple step of intention.  Before I meditate, I tell myself I want to lapse into a meditation of a set time length.  Ten minutes is sufficient, and you might even set a timer to “wake yourself up.”  Intention is a powerful tool.  And once I set out the intention of a time limit, I frequently pulled out of the meditation experience after the pre-set time allowance, as I’m sure you will too.

Intention is the key here.  What do YOU want to experience?  Ponder this question and return with an answer, then we will proceed onto the next step of exploration.

… for now… Namaste,
