Regular Practice is Everything

The Meditation Effect — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 05:43:29 +0000

The Great 13th century Sufi Poet Rumi says:

“Submit to a daily practice. Keep knocking and the joy inside will eventually open a window”

Please allow me to support you in regular practice. Please commit to regular practice. First we meditate, then we become Meditation. The effects of Meditation saturate the brain, nervous system and physiology. Neuronal connections are re-wired in the highly impressionable brain. Chemicals associated with the ‘stress-response’ state are alleviated in the cells of the body. Our entire system let’s go of irrelevancy and embraces a more deserving, sustainable set of behaviors and experiences. The qualities associated with our own least excited state (Bliss, Coherence, Possibility, Capability, Unboundedness & Beyond) are ‘drawn out’ into the conscious thinking field and into the state of the body with regular immersion. This integration is achieved through the daily alternation of waking state (excitation) and the Meditative state (de-excitation). The benefits of our practice come with unparalleled ease; the art of doing nothing while gaining everything. Our job? Getting to the chair.

If you would like to check your Meditation practice with me, please reply to set up an appointment. I am also available for impromptu Group Meditations. Stress is a response, not a situation and with this technique we have the means to alleviate all that stands in our way of 24-hour Bliss. Our job is to get to that chair twice each day. In effect, getting out of our own way.

Love & Jai Guru Deva,

Matt

Within our own consciousness,

at the quieter levels of awareness,

exists an unbounded field…

whose qualities offer an experience of all that we are looking for: a reservoir of fulfillment, peace, joy, creative intelligence, energy, and total potential from which to draw. When we offer these new-found inner qualities to life’s outer demands, we find an incredible ability to stay and play.

Fight and flight reactions, in the face of the ever-changing world, belong to our primitive ancestors. Unaware of inner Fulfillment, our world becomes an outlet for neediness; an incomplete source of wholeness. We begin to depend on a world that never delivers. We mistakingly take the next experience or acquisition to be the source of our own Fulfillment. We require others to adapt for us while having little to personally offer.

When we have little to offer, we have little to gain.

Ladies and gentleman, we have known ourselves to be the tip of an iceberg. What we need now is a vehicle to access that place within

thereby remembering the Bliss of life beneath the surface.

Jai Guru Deva
