PROCEDURE
1. Cleansing the Etheric Body Through Physical Exercise.
Do physical exercise for about five minutes. Doing physical exercise has a cleansing and energising effect on the etheric body. Physical exercises have to be done to minimize possible pranic congestion since this meditation generates a lot of subtle energies in the etheric body.
2. Invocation for Divine Blessing.
Invoking the blessing of one’s Spiritual Guides is very important. Each spiritual aspirant has Spiritual Guides whether he is consciously aware of them or not. The invocation is required for one’s protection, help and guidance. Without making the invocation, practising any advanced meditation technique could be dangerous. You can make your own invocation. The author usually uses this following invocation:
Father, I humbly invoke Thy divine blessing!
For protection, guidance, help and Illumination!
With thanks and in full faith!
3. Activating the Heart Chakra - Blessing the Entire Earth with Loving Kindness.
Press your front heart chakra with your finger your a few seconds. This is to make concentration on the front heart chakra easier. Concentrate on the front heart chakra and bless the earth with loving kindness. You may improvise your own blessing with loving kindness. The author usually uses this blessing:
BLESSING THE EARTH WITH LOVING KINDNESS
From the Heart of God,
Let the entire earth be blessed with loving-kindness.
Let the entire earth be blessed with great joy,
happiness and divine peace.
Let the entire earth be blessed with understanding, harmony, goodwill and will-to-good,
So be it!
From the Heart of God,
Let the hearts of all sentient beings beings be filled with
divine love and kindness.
Let the hearts of all sentient beings beings be filled with
great joy, happiness and divine peace.
Let the hearts of all sentient beings be filled with understanding, harmony, goodwill and will-to-good,
With thanks, So be it.
For beginners, this blessing is done only once or twice.
Do not overdo this blessing at the start. Some may even feel a slight pranic congestion around the heart area. This is because the etheric body is not sufficiently clean.
This blessing should not be done mechanically. You should feel and fully appreciate the implications in each phrase. You may also use visualisation. When blessing the earth with loving kindness, visualise the aura of the earth as becoming dazzling pink. When blessing the earth with great joy, happiness and divine peace; visualise people with difficult problems smiling. Their hearts filled with joy, faith, hope and peace. Visualise their problems becoming lighter and their faces lightening up. When blessing the earth with harmony, good will and will-to-good; visualise people or nations on the verge of fighting each other reconciling. Visualise these people putting down their arms and embracing each other. Visualise them being filled with good intentions and filled with the will to carry out this good intention. This blessing can be directed to a nation or nations, a family or a person or group of persons. Do not direct this blessing on a specific infant or children because they might be overwhelmed by the intense energy generated by the meditation.
4. Activating the Crown Chakra - Blessing the Earth with Loving Kindness. Press the crown with your finger for several seconds to facilitate concentration on the crown chakra and bless the entire earth with loving kindness. When the crown chakra is fully opened some of you will feel something blooming on top of the head and some will feel something pressing on the crown. After the crown chakra has been activated, concentrate simultaneously on the crown and heart chakra, and bless the earth with loving-kindness several times. This will align the heart and crown chakra; thereby, making the blessing much more potent.>
5. To Achieve Illumination - Meditation on the Light, on the Aum and the Gap between the two Aums. Visualise a grain of dazzling white light on the crown or at the centre inside the head and simultaneously mentally utter the mantra Aum.
Concentrate intensely on the point of light, on the Aum and on the gap between the two Aums. When mentally uttering the mantra Aum, you will notice that the Aums are not continuous and that there is a slight gap between two mantras or between two Aums. Do this meditation for five of ten minutes. When the spiritual aspirant can fully concentrate simultaneously on the point of light and the gap between the two Aums, he will experience an “inner explosion of light”. His entire being will be filled with light! He will have his first glimpse of illumination and his first experience of divine ecstasy! To experience Buddic consciousness or illumination is to experience and understand what Jesus meant when he said: “If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” (Luke 11:34) “For behold, the kingdom of heaven is within you.” (Luke 17:21).
For some people, it may take years before they experience an initial glimpse of illumination or Buddhic consciousness. Others may take only months while others may take only weeks. To a few, they achieve initial expansion of consciousness on the first try.
When doing this meditation, the aspirant should be neutral. He should not be obsessed with results or filled with too many expectations. Otherwise, he will be actually meditating on the expectations or expected results rather than on the point of light, the Aum and the gap between the Aums.
6. Releasing Excess Energy. After the end of the meditation, the excess energy should be released by blessing the earth with Light, Love and Peace. Otherwise, the etheric body will become congested and the visible body will deteriorate in the long run because of too much energy. Other esoteric schools release the excess energy by visualising the chakras projecting out the excess energy and the chakras becoming smaller and dimmer, but this approach does not utilise the excess energy into constructive use.
7. Giving Thanks. After the end of the meditation, always give thanks to your Spiritual Guides for the divine blessing.
8. Strengthening the Visible Physical Body Through Massage and or More Physical Exercises.
After the end of the meditation, massage your body and do physical exercise for about five minutes. The purpose is to further cleanse and to strengthen the visible body since more used-up prana is expelled out of the body. This facilitates the assimilation of the pranic and spiritual energies; thereby, enhancing the beauty and health of the practitioner. Massaging and exercising after this meditation also reduce the possibility of pranic congestion or energy getting in certain parts of the body which may lead to illness. You can also gradually cure yourself of some ailments by doing exercises after doing “Meditation on the Two Hearts”.
It is very important to exercise after the meditation; otherwise, the visible physical body will inevitably be weakened. Although the etheric body will become very bright and strong, the visible physical body will become weak because it will not be able to withstand the left over energy generated by the meditation in the long run. You have to experience it yourself to fully appreciate what the author has just stated.
Some of you have the tendency not to do physical exercises after this meditation but continue savouring the blissful state. This tendency should be overcome, otherwise, your physical health will deteriorate in the long run.
Sometimes when a spiritual aspirant meditates, he may experience unusual physical movements for a limited period of time. (Quaking or shaking.) This is quite normal since his etheric channels are being cleansed.
The instructions may seem quite long but the meditation is short, simple and very effective! It requires only ten to fifteen minutes excluding the time required for the physical exercises.
There are many degrees of illumination. The art of “intuiting” or “direct synthetic knowing” requires constant practice (meditation) for a long time. To be more exact, it requires many incarnations to develop facility in the use of this Buddhic faculty.
Blessing the earth with loving-kindness can be done in group as a form of world service. When done in a group for this purpose, first bless the earth with loving-kindness through the heart chakra then through the crown chakra then through both crown chakra and heart chakra. Release the excess energy after the end of the meditation. The other parts of the meditation are omitted. The blessing can be directed not only to the entire earth but also to a specific nation or group of nations. The potency of the blessing is increased many times when done in a group than individually. For example, when the blessing is done by a group of seven persons, the effect or potency is equal to more than one hundred persons doing it separately. Another way of blessing the earth with loving-kindness in group is through daily radio broadcast at an appropriate time with some or more of the listeners participating.
Just as pranic healing can “miraculously” cure simple and severe ailments, the “meditation on two hearts,” when practiced by a large number of people can also miraculously heal the entire earth; thereby, making the entire earth more harmonious and peaceful. This message is directed to readers with sufficient maturity and will-to-good.
There are other meditations more advanced than meditation on the two hearts. One of these more advanced forms of meditation is called Arhatic Yoga which is for the chosen few.
