Lesson Three.
The Energy Source.
The next stage in meditation is learning to make a connection. That is the true meaning of Yoga. To make a connection with...
It’s OK
focussing on yourself but how do you get energy?
How do you feel peaceful?
How do you feel content and happy?
The answer lies in the connection. Connecting with another point.
As we are souls. As we are light. As we are energy. It makes sense to connect with the energy source. The pure light. The pure energy that can give us what we require. A top up.
And that is what it is. It doesn’t matter what name or form you give it. What matters is the concept of connecting to an energy source. It may be called the Supreme or God, or Father, or Gaia , or Shiva, whatever you wish to call it. For us it is the Supreme Soul. S/He also is a tiny point.
The point is that the connecting point is the pure energy, the pure light. The same as me but it hasn’t lost all its energy or power from running this body and being on this earth. I need a top up and the tiny point of pure light can give it to me.
Like a car
battery. I am the battery and s/he, it is the battery charger. Whenever I can
plug into it I can get recharged. I get to feel good.
I get to feel peaceful I get to feel happy.
Because we are talking of pure light we are not talking of understanding through words or speech. We are able to connect through our feelings.
The aim is
to connect with the light and feel the connection. Feel the peace that passes
through you. Feel the Happiness. Feel the energy.
Try it.
Sit comfortably in a quiet
environment and with your eyes OPEN, turn your eyes inward as though you were
looking inside yourself and enjoy the experience we have described below:
Just sit and enjoy the connection.
Imagine yourself to be a battery that is being recharged.
Stay as long as you like.
Consider yourself to be a Soul.
A tiny point of light.
We souls are just tiny points.
My true self is a soul
I am more than a body
I am an imperishable soul
I am connecting with the Supreme
Soul
I am connecting with a tiny point of light
The pure, pure light.
The energy source.
The power to my battery.
As I connect I feel the pure white light going through my forehead, through my entire body pushing light from the inside out. I feel so peaceful and energised.
You may only
hold the connection for a few seconds but stay with the feeling.
Just enjoy the feeling of peace and love and energy that comes from the
experience.
Well done you have now meditated.
You have the basic tool to bring peace and happiness and energy into your life.
All you need to do now is practice.
The more you
practice the better you will feel. The more your connection improves the more
you will achieve.
Now. A word about the relationship between you and the Supreme. Just because it is called the Supreme doesn’t mean that you are inferior. It doesn’t mean that it is superior to you.
The relationship is like that of a parent and a grown up child. An adult. Yes the parent is there to be respected and is still the parent but they are not all knowing. They are not superior. In an ideal relationship it is one of equals.
In our relationship with the Supreme Soul it is not one of superiority or one where I am unworthy and begging, it is one where I am an adult child. Where I want to return to my natural state of being loving, peaceful and happy and s/he can fulfil that just by being. All I have to do is connect.
Just think of two light sources, one that is worn out from maximum use and the other is the pure energy that can only be used to top you up. It is the energy supply that can charge up me, the worn out, run down battery.
