Meditation Techniques Secret #1: The True Purpose of Meditation
Many people feel a sense of
fascination when confronted with the possibility of mystic
visions, psychic intuition and heightened mental functioning.
While meditators often report these sorts of improvements,
these experiences should not be the primary reason for practice.
The purpose of meditation is to bring us back to ourselves.
As we become healthier, happier
and realize greater self-awareness, the other benefits of
meditation begin to follow naturally -- improved mental functioning,
greater intuition as well as greater access to unconscious
resources and abilities.

#2: Distraction Does Not Equal Failure
Meditation is not work in
the sense that you have to 'force' yourself to concentrate
completely for long periods of time. If we consciously try
to prevent thinking, it's going to have a negative impact
on the meditation.
Instead, whenever we become
lost in thought or confusion, we simply acknowledge those
thoughts and then gently return the attention to the object
of the meditation. We do this as many times as distraction
or thought occurs. Eventually, the mind becomes calmer and
discursive thought begins to slow.

#3: Insight Alone Is Not Enough
Insight alone will not transform
our lives. Meditation is likely to help us by giving us larger
perspectives and increasing clarity of thought. But although
our sense of inner guidance might become stronger, unless
we ACT on that guidance, we will never manifest the changes
we truly want in our lives.
This doesn't just mean we
need to take action in our outer world, for example, having
an honest conversation with a friend or paying a bill.
It also means we must actively
request the assistance of the unconscious in a clear and persistent
way. When you do that, as I teach in 'Secrets of Meditation,
Energy and Manifestation,' you find yourself magnetically
drawn toward your dreams with an irresistible impulse.

#4: Learn To Let Go
Once you have made your request,
it's important that you let go. Don’t be concerned with
HOW you're going to get what you truly want in your life.
Needing to know how can hamper the process of making it manifest
in the outer world. Learn to trust your unconscious.
Some changes -- perhaps all
of them -- will happen automatically. I have personally found
that many of my destructive habits simply dropped away with
minimal conscious effort.
For me, this was achieved
not by self-discipline and will power, but rather a “letting
go” and a realization that spiritual growth is a natural
process powered by parts of ourselves that know more than
we can understand consciously.
As we let go consciously and
receive more input from these parts, we learn to trust this
feeling, this feeling that we are in safe hands and that something
amazing is about to happen.
