Meditation habits and tips

[tamaryn]

Many techniques waking, and in meditation. But they all fall away and a new one is sought.

Tanner's advice is imperative to living a conscious life and healing the self. Faith in all that is will forever be one of my greatest lessons, and a practice I will work with for the rest of my life.

I ground myself with the heart of the earth in the form of a great almost godlike crystal at the center. I believe this is literally the center of the earth and makes grounding exercises all the more exciting to visualize. This crystal will take each and every bit of energy you send it, and it will thank you a thousand times over for this service.

If I wish to perform strong energy work of send energy to others I align the tip of the great crystal with the source (7th, 8th chakras); stream these energies to meet at my heart and send the energy wherever desired. I use in-breath to draw the energy and out-breath to compact the energy or send it elsewhere.

My most useful technique in meditation is simply surrender to any arising thought and follow the transformed thought deeper (surrendering more and more) until it is emptiness. Usually this process is instantaneous for me.
