I like to use Mantra mainly...
The common misconception of meditation is "NO MIND" or "BLANK PAGE" This is wrong... Until you can "KNOW MIND" you will not reach a state of "NO MIND".
Once one understands grounding and protection, I feel Mantra is the most powerful meditation that can be used as it gives the mind something to do which is what it is designed to do
Here is a simple way to Ground and Protect. It uses a visualisation that I created over the last 4 years.
- To Ground and Protect -
This should take you around 10 minutes to do initially. Eventually you will be able to do it in the blink of an eye
Visualise Golden Rain constantly falling onto your body. As the golden rain falls onto you it starts to cover your head, shoulders, arms, torso, thighs, calves, feet. You find yourself sat in the puddle that the rain has now created.
The puddle of rain soaks down into the earth, slowly, finding it's way, like roots pushing down through the earth, further down, until it finds the centre of the earth. Once it has reached the centre of the earth you connect to the crystal that resonates there. (I usually find a green crystal, it's up to you what you see and feel)
When you have connected to the crystal that you find, bring the energy up from that crystal through the golden roots you have created, back up through the earth, into the puddle you are sat in, filling your body with the light of the crystal up to the top of your head.
You are now grounded to mother earth and protected by the golden water.
There are 3 things you can do from this point, either should take you another 10 minutes (or more depending how long you want to meditate for)
1. Sit in the energy being drawn up through your roots.
or
2. Use a mantra.
or
3. Follow the rain to it's source!
(You can do all 3 if you like!)
Either option you choose, afterwards you will need to retract your roots and let the rain dry off (this can take 5-10 minutes to do also, there is no rush)
Here's a list of the Mantra's that I use... (not at the same time, pick one and stick with it)
When another thought appears, accept it, move through it and back to the Mantra. Do not punish your mind for thinking about other things, it's what it has been left to do. You are training it to be consciously aware of a singularity - The mantra.
- Ing
- Shiring
- Om Mani Padme Hum
- Om Maha tri wishanew chia chia chia chia chia chia chia
- Mandala Shambala chia chia chia chia chia chia chia bra set it mai Om
- Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate bodhi svaha (this one is new to me)
I have learnt, breathing, visualisation, walking, dancing, sitting and mindfulness techniques.
TM was my basis, then I learnt to understand the energy with Reiki.
In the last few years I have learnt/re-learnt a few powerful Mantra's and techniques.
I hope this helps someone out there.
