It is important when meditating not to go too quickly, rather to be slow
-the slowness allows for depth and ease. Relax the body in a comfortable
position and gently, very gently concentrate on the centre of the forehead.
Very slowly create these thoughts:
'I relax. I am calm. I begin my journey inward - my journey into silence. In
this silence, the mind concentrates on the thought - the thought of the
original self, the spiritual self.
Who am I … Gently, I begin to experience the eternal being within … Om … I
am … I am a spiritual being… a soul ... shanti … a being of peace, a
sparkling star of spiritual light, situated at the centre of the forehead,
just above the eyebrows ... peace is my original strength ... I, the soul
... a point of eternal energy … I am the essence of peace ... peace is
harmony ... peace is balance ... peace is serenity ... content ... complete
… full ... As my thought, so my consciousness ... Let me remain in this
thought: Om shanti … peace and silence. ... I remain still, I radiate rays
of peace all around ... I remain in complete peace: ... Om shanti’
Remember to do this exercise slowly, giving yourself time when you are not
in a hurry. The mind and thoughts may go in other directions, but gently
re-focus them, to realize the 'Om Shanti' consciousness, the original
consciousness of peace.
Like learning a language, meditation requires systematic and patient
practice on a daily basis to receive true benefit. If it is only done once
in a while, or only in a state of need, then the state of being peaceful is
not easily achieved. Rarely is anything learnt, or mastered, immediately.
Therefore, it is important not to give up even if it does not seem to work.
Just keep trying and gradually it comes by itself. Set aside 15 minutes in
the morning and in the evening to practice this. As it becomes easier to do
then you can increase the amount of time.
