WORLD MEDITATION INSTITUTE

Meditation for These Powerful Times

Mediation is an emptying of the mind and heart

It is a means to tap the power of the unknown

Meditation gifts us with that which we have never considered

Meditation taps into a Divine space beyond what we can conceive

First we tap our own mind
Then we tap what we have read and been taught
We tap a group mind
We tap into a higher consciousness of Soul - The One Soul
Then we tap into the Buddhic Plane or the place where the Masters reside

Practicing Presence

The intention of this practice is to expand consciousness by living with
increased joy, empathy, compassion and understanding for ourselves and others

This work can bring greater telepathy, intuition and expanded realizations
resulting in a kinder, more heart-centered way of being

We make Love, Kindness and Understanding our religion

Through the practice of silence and contemplation we become more observant

Self-forgetfulness, harmlessness, and right speech allows for greater purity,
trust, faith, desire-less-ness, and acceptance

Discipline, Discernment, Discrimination, Detachment is how we make our
journey from being asleep to being awake

Through meditation the heart becomes a clear radiant light
We are our heart
It is not separate from us
My consciousness is my heart

Our fear, sense of isolation, need for control, demands for safety and security,
all our desires burn away, leaving us free to trust

We access deeper and deeper levels of understanding
We move into ever-expanding realms of consciousness
This work infuses us more and more. It is a PRACTICE for expanding into greater awareness. It leads to greater awareness, not perfection

We DARE to be silent

WE ACCEPT that what is happening in our lives is expanding our potential

Awareness, Presence are words for Consciousness

This is Awareness Training through focused concentration

When we want to be loved, touched, appreciated – Love, touch and appreciate others.
Include the plant kingdom, animal kingdom and human kingdoms

Appreciate more and more and more

Every drop of precipitation, every bird that sings, every plant that grows

“Meditation must be promoted for one of the most MORAL imperatives for humans to do because it is the ONLY thing that has been demonstrated to move people into higher moral stages.”

Ken Wilber

Meditation is the way to Enlightenment. By emptying the mind and softening, the space is provided for a Divine down-flow of energies to enter the consciousness. At the space between breaths, we are filled with something greater than our minds can create. We are imbued with a vibration of increasingly higher alignment. This is Magic! This is the Conscious Creative Process.

Join us for full moon meditations 7:00 pm mountain time during the Full Moons.
Meditations are partially guided, partially silent with the intention of Being Soul or Higher Self.
This work is designed to clear and release personality or ego so that Divine Presence, Soul, Monad,
Spirit can come through. It unravels, undoes, and leaves open and empty space for service.

Meditation

Mediation is an emptying of the mind and heart. It is a means to tap the power of the unknown.

Meditation gifts us with that which we have never considered and taps into a Divine space beyond

what we can conceive.

Meditation is NOT using the mind to think of things -- like organizing your day or your business

or your life. Meditation is not a prayer that asks for what you desire. Mediation is not a way telling

the universe what is right.

We may feel more vulnerable when we don’t fully experience emotional issues affecting us. As

we breathe and meditate, peacefulness, calmness, forgiveness and joy emerge. Meditation

provides a container for these emotions to land.

We become more capable of experiencing pain, sadness, anger as well as the more lighted

emotions. Eventually, meditation empowers us to be more accepting, less judgmental and

brings greater overall goodness into our lives.

Meditation is the bridge, the link, the doorway to All That IS. It is our ticket to an audience

with Masters of Wisdom. Only through being quiet and opening to a space of NOT doing,

can we hear and know what we are being guided to do.

What do we receive from meditation?

Life Purpose- Our Service- Intuition – Compassion - Greater Clarity of Mind -Creativity – Inspiration

Physical Health Benefits [ lowering blood pressure, heart rate, etc.]

Emotional Benefits – Trust, Hope, Calm, Pace, Serenity, Lightness, Happiness, Well-Being

Mental Benefits - Clarity of Mind, Greater Focus, Better Memory, Concentration abilities,

Steadiness of thought.

Spiritual Benefits – Connection with Higher Self/Soul/ Consciousness/ God/ Source in order to

download thoughts, ideas, actions, service - what the Higher Self is trying to communicate to

the individual.

Purpose – Listening and being still so we can hear or so we can BE or so we can download

direction from on the Divine realms.

Under the influence of the soul

The heart center opens

The impulse to give may be experienced

An altruistic impulse expands

Unity results

Selfishness is deep-seated and hard to overcome. It invites criticism, long held opinions,

judgments, emotional outbursts, and more. Personality cannot overcome this.

The expression of soul quality is sheer joy! Soul Expresses through personality. This is

personality’s purpose – to be the expression of Soul.

Soul is the source of one’s greatest sense of meaningfulness.

In order to bring this training into our lives and make it a living practice, consider being made ALL NEW. Imagine

that the seed growing in the heart is giving new texture to things; new colors immerge, sounds

can begin to be heard never before notices and the eyes little by little pick up sights that have

not been in the sight before.

New Self; New Vision; New way of being in the world.

Meditation makes all things NEW!

Pay attention to your breathing

Pause after the inhalation and pause after the exhalation

Straighten your spine & allow the energy to pass through it

Put your mind in neutral and pause your thought process

Stay present, aware, awake and be observant

Witness what feelings and thoughts come up then allow them to move on

Invite emptiness and openness

If anything less than love, joy, compassion comes up, allow it to move on

Give yourself the suggestion that you are releasing all old

thoughts, patterns, habits into this empty space

Take notes of what comes through

Do this throughout your day

Include Meditation in Each Moment of Each Day by Breathing in Light and Being Attentive.

___

I awaken to new possibilities

All that I need is available

   Acceptance

I recognize that intolerance, anger and fear are often signs of deep personal hurt in people and in my self

Kindness and good will start with me, to me

    Gratitude

I wake up with gratitude in my heart and feel it all day long

I am grateful for my home, family, friends, career, mind and my connection to Source

My list of people and things in my life for which I am grateful grows every day

    Right Thought, Speech and Action

I chose my words carefully so as not to harm anyone or myself

I see more and more where I project my beliefs onto others

I show kindness and compassion to the people I interact with today

I speak less about myself each day

    Non-Attachment

There is impermanence to all things

The one thing we can be sure of is that all things change

    Observing

I see the love in each person I meet

I see the best in everyone and everything

I notice everything that I desire and write it down each day

I recognize that everything I buy and use changes my life and I write it all down

My mind opens to new insights and ideas

    Love

All that I am I love

I live in the Love that fills all the Universe

Every fiber of my being is filled with light and love

When I think of people, I automatically send them loving thoughts or words

The Universe is LOVE and I am that Universe

Love opens my heart each moment of the day

Love is the attracting principle

    Attracting Abundance

I live in the stream of abundance

I am grateful for all the money that flows into my life

I trust that all that I need is abundantly available to me

Effortlessly I magnetize all the prosperity I need

I deserve financial freedom

I love the financial freedom in which I live

Meditative thoughts:

What we focus on Expands

When the Mind Quiets Down, the Heart Opens

I am more and more aware of the tangled webs I am weaving

I consciously recognize and lovingly self-correct when I look
for happiness outside my self

The more pieces there are of ourselves, the more there is to keep us divided

Joy is sustained contentment

Tantra ceaselessly brings us back to our whole, undivided self

The relationship we have with ourselves determines
the relationship we have with others

We are relational Beings because that is how we
come into relationship with ourselves

When we are filled from the inside, there is no need
to go outside ourselves
to find contentment/joy/peace/

Naropa said “I suffer from my self-dividedness.” Or “I suffer by being constantly
enacted with my self-dividedness in an apparently dual world”

Satiety/satisfaction is related to wholeness

Union and merging leads to bliss, ecstasy, peace, goodness

In Presence Training, everything is Tantra
We give, we receive
We radiate, we magnetize
We listen, we talk
We surrender, we penetrate

Our addictions fill us for a moment and we feel gratified, but this is a short-term solution

For ceaseless, eternal delight we are present in unity

Divided from our essential self, our desire nature drives us

Duality is a consequence of Beingness

Tantra embraces that which we see as separate and divided from the self

We are always awakening from the dream we thought was reality

What are we seeking?
Contentedness, joy, trust, union, equanimity, conscious relationship, opening

Remember – this moment is fleeting. As it passes into the next and the next
and the next, all we can do is observe and be present

Time passes and all things are made new

The Vajra scepter is indestructible; diamond-like. It symbolizes freedom from conceptual thought; freedom from the
groundessness of all dharmas

All conceptual thought is a limitation
We must know when something is no longer of service and becomes a limitation

A concept one day opens to new possibilities and ignites a fire of a better way.
Later that same concept inhibits and must be transcended

Our challenge is to recognize when something (a belief, person or some life style) is no longer serving us

WAKING UP to
   More Joy, Less Stress
      and Greater Fulfillment
          While Consciously Sustaining
                   our Lives and Our Planet

From Eckhart Tolle A New Earth
Where there is identification, there is attachment

GOALS MUST BE DYNAMIC NOT STATIC

See the goal as one that enriches the individual life and/or the life of others

See oneself as an energy through which all life flows for the benefit of all

From Eckhart Tolle

Such static goals dis-empower us.

Where there is identification, there is attachment

GOALS MUST BE DYNAMIC NOT STATIC

See the goal as one that enriches the individual life and/or the life of others

See ourselves as an energy through which all life flows for the benefit of all.

This material is designed to inspire a deep inner understanding of ourselves and the

world. From an eclectic philosophical view of life as Love, Service and Joy,

principles of life are brought from the single mind to the Eternal Mind. The intellectual

understanding moves from the mind to the heart to be experienced in daily life.

Knowing why we are in human form, where we came from and where we are going are key considerations. Through

a process of learning and growing and finally Being all we can be, we do a great service for our fellow citizens of the

planet and in so doing, heighten our own awareness.

Being Soul

Our essential self is Soul. As we allow the body, emotions and mind to become
free from diversion from our true purpose, we are able to focus more on being Soul.

This presentation is designed to inspire a more soulful life. Paying attention to

what we say and do can result in greater harmlessness. Practicing holding the

mind steady in the light through meditation is the process by which we train

ourselves to be more present.

Meditation prepares us for consciously creating our life. It goes beyond the book

The Secret. We can use intention and attraction to create what we desire in life.

We do this as apprentices to the “White Magical” process. In order to use the Law

of Attraction the way it was given to us by higher authorities, we must move beyond

the imagined needs of the personality and allow a higher sense of what is best

to come through.

This is attracting from the perspective of soul instead of the what Echart Tolle calls

the “pain body.” When we listen to the higher self or soul, we create what is truly

in our best interest.

But how do we get in touch with our higher self?

How do we know when we are coming from this perspective as soul and not merely

listening to the endless chatter of the mind or of the emotional/desire self?

Our habitual patterns and thought processes will inevitably lead us again and

again to listen to our personality self or lower self. We must train ourselves

to know the difference between the various voices in our head.

When soul speaks, it may not seem much different at first. It is not talk.

It is not brilliant light or pictures, necessarily. It may simply be a deep knowing.

It comes when the mind is NOT engaged.

This is why the practice of concentration leading to meditation is so important.

If we can’t control our mind and get it to be quiet, how can we hear what

soul is downloading? Then, once we hear it, can we take it without distorting

it with our personal filters of opinions and beliefs?

This is our work.

To control the mind is to know God. Or Source. Or a greater Life that en-souls us all.

We will practice being soul since no picture, no talk, no book can describe the

experience. It must be known through paying attention. We call this ‘paying

attention’ meditation.

So we’ll meditate on this.
