Energy Meditation

Introduction - Connecting with Energy:
When we connect with energy it has a certain feel to it. For one thing it's like nothing we have felt before. It flows, has movement, a life force of its own. We can visualize a golden color when we connect with it. We can feel what it does to our senses: it increases them. And it expands our awareness and consciousness. There are many vibrations and frequencies that we can connect with. The higher ones are pure, clear in appearance and offer extreme balance and clarity. We can ride the waves of the flow of energy. Some are more intense, some subtle, all are perfect in design. There is no chaos, only flow and balance. We can touch this energy with our own. Send our energy to it and join with what we touch. We can direct it, send or receive. And if we are really good at it, we can change it. This is called working with energy. One changes the structure of energy with an innate ability. This ability must be developed first though because everything follows certain principles or laws. This is the basis of Creation itself. And its birth.
Establishing a Point of Focus:
Focus is very important in meditation. If you have no starting point you will be lost in the direction that you want to go in your meditation. I recommend establishing a focus first before beginning a meditation practice.
Begin by entering a relaxed and quite state. If you have problems with quieting the mind, allow the mind to have its thoughts but release them as they come up. Don't hold on to them or resist them coming: simply acknowledge and release them. If you really have a problem quieting the mind, then order it to silence each time it has a thought. This will be more forceful but be careful not to let this become your point of focus.
Focus on the point between your eyes: The Third Eye. This will become your point of focus. Do this 20mins a day for two weeks. Nothing else. At the end of two weeks, your point of focus will be established.
The Energy Meditation:
Enter into your meditation state. This can be any form or method of meditation as long as your body is relaxed, your mind is clear and focused. Do the following exercise daily if possible; no more than 20 minutes is required after entering meditation state. (You may do longer if you wish.) A word of caution: During the first week or so, you may be able to do only the first step. Accomplish each step before you move on to the next. If you haven't reached the level to know what energy feels like then you cannot continue to the next step, because you will have no point reference and therefore the exercises will do you no good.
Working With Energy:
For this next part of these exercises it is beneficial to have at least of a basic understanding of what the Chakras look like and how they function. Any type of New Age bookstore will have books on Chakras. It is important to know how to visualize the charkas and their placement for this excercise. This does not require a great deal of study. Just become familiar with them. The following exercises should be done for a minimum of 30mins at least 3 times a week. They can be done daily if you wish. And if you are able, its best to do these exercise lying down on your back.
Enter into your meditation state. Be sure that you are focused. Reach out to the Universe and bring golden energy into your body. Focus the energy onto your crown Chakra. Watch it illuminate your Chakra. Focus on expanding this Chakra in size and increasing the amount of energy in it. Hold it like that for a couple of minutes then release the energy out of it. (This accomplishes two things: It helps you to learn to control and work with energy, and with your Chakras. And it clears the Chakras, thereby healing them. It is necessary when you begin to work with energy to have the Chakras clear and running freely) Then move on to the next Chakra: the third eye. Bring golden energy into the third eye. Focus it there and expand the Chakra to hold more energy. Hold the energy for a couple of minutes, then release it. Let the energy go. Continue on through the remaining five main Chakras until you reach the base Chakra. Then take the golden energy and flood it through all the Chakras at once and hold it for a few minutes.
If you are not able to get through all the Chakras in one sitting you can continue on through them in the next sitting. Do this until you can send energy through each of them in one sitting. You can hold the energy as long as you want through all the Chakras but just don't go overboard. Work on this until you are comfortable with it and can run and visualize the energy running through the Chakras with no hindrance. This is a valuable exercise to do now and in the future to keep the Chakras clear and free of blocks. And its very beneficial for the body.
Working With Colored Energy:
The following exercise is like the previous but this time you are running colored energy through the Chakras. The colors to be used are gold, blue, purple, and green. Each color has a purpose but for now you are going to learn to visualize and bring the color in. Only one color during each session should be used. Learn to work with the colors separately first. This is very important. It would not be good to mix the colors at this time because you would not be able to distinguish their effect on your energy and your physical body.
Take one color at a time beginning with the Crown Chakra and working down to the base. Holding and expanding each Chakra, flood this one color through all the Chakras and hold it. This exercise should take no more than 30 minutes.
After working with the Chakras for a period of time until you are comfortable with this process, it would be beneficial to go back and work with the previous exercises again at the beginning of this page. You should notice a marked improvement in sensing and bringing in energy.
