Meditation
 

There's no question, that regular meditation can help a person feeling better, finding herself, developing faster. But what is meditation then, can there even be some risks involved? Many probably see meditation as sitting in a lotus position, going deep within, seeing and experiencing things.

The concept of meditation is really a state of mind, when the timeflow goes faster. This can be achieved when you are highly focused in something you are doing. It can be building something, solving a theoretical problem or simular. Time flies, and then you were there, in the right state. Many of our great thinkers have used dedicated meditation to solve problems. Isaac Newton is one example of many.

Step one is trying to find awarness control. Our thought tend to fly around in all places. Mobile phones, social media etc. aren't a friend of ours in this case. My advice is, a good while before meditating, disconnect all that, even tv etc. Relax, maybe listen to some calm music, or just stay in silence. Achieving a good awarness control takes a long time.

Then you need to find something to meditate upon. Here you should, honestly, start thinking about why you want to meditate. What is the purpose? Is it to be great and special? Is it to achieve abilitys, powers? Or to develop faster as a person? Or to achieve better qualities as a person, get rid of the bad ones? The reader must decide what subject is the morally most preferable (or if you might find others). If you, for example, want to improve your qualities, then visualize yourself as you want to be. Don't focus on the bad qualities, always on the good

You should feel relaxed while meditating. Sometimes during the focusing, the meditation, you can float into a stillness. The "voice of silence" can enter. In tis case you can compare with standing by a highly trafficed road, trying to hear what someone says on the other side of the road. Turn off the traffic, and you might hear!

But at the same time, don't have any expectations. Expectations have a tendency to block things. Just observe what happens, take everything  with equanimity. If possible, try meditating regularly and at the same time.

But what about risks, are there any? I have listen to several people within the "New Age", resolutely claiming that nothing bad can happen. (safe and effective 😀) But I have also met a number of people, who litterally destroyed their lives by exaggerated meditating. A few of them are now incapable of living a normal life. Even if these are extreme cases, it should be mentioned.

What works perfectly for one, can be unsuitable for another. We are diffent on energy level, so you need to be observant. Normal regular meditation, say 10-15min per day, hardly should be a problem for anyone. But do not exaggurate is my advice. Those who need to be extra careful, are those who already have started to open up to some degree. Observe dream symbols during sleep. 

Another good advice could be, do not meditate on your chakra points. This can result in a stronger flow of energy there, before you are sufficiently clean. That can, in its turn, result in bad qualities getting stronger. The meditation gives the opposite result fom what you wanted.
