Meditation habits and tips

[Raz]

for me, saying "now I´m meditating for 1 hour" is like saying "now I´m breathing for 1 hour". What I really do is cultivate a space where I can give the medit@ion that is always taking place my full attention by including everything within my total perception (or the simple perception of the spectrum of perception, as I like to call it).

There is allot of directions we can take with our meditation. I´m a big fan of using different words/names as a center when slowing down my mind and promoting an emotional sense of well being and direction in the stillness phase. Like; "Love" "Joy" "Togetherness" "Unity" "Oneness" "understanding" "bliss" or whatever feels right to use in the moment. I will simply rest in the word as a pleasant slow rhythmic mantra and follow the rhythm back to it´s source, while my mind is preoccupied with the mundane task designed to avoid creativity attacks (solving problems etc) and allow me to go deeper.

Then we have the "I *insert assumption*" technique. In deeper states of consciousnesses assumptions become reality. "I know" takes you in one direction "I don´t know" takes you in another. They can be equally interesting to explore. a deep meditation with "I am safe" can be very healing. Be creative with it before you stick with it for the session. "I am loved" is one of my favorite centering phrases and can bring you to some very interesting places. it´s all done very naturally, vigilantly and effortlessly...
