Meditation SimplifiedMeditation
The simplest definition of meditation is "the focusing of the mind on any one thing", whether it be a thought, idea, concept, person, place, thing, object, smell, sound, taste, feeling, emotion, intention, word, phrase, sentence, nothing, etc. Meditation has many different purposes, for many different people. It really depends upon the individual, their current level of consciousness & truth, and what they want to accomplish by doing it. The most common reasons people meditate are to reduce stress and to find greater peace. Being at peace within one's own mind brings peace and happiness to EVERY aspect of an individual's life, at ALL times, despite life's circumstances. One is not subject to negative mentalities (stress) when the mind doesn't react negatively to outside phenomenon. Silence and one-pointedness of mind are generally the goal.

There is no specific physical position in which you need to assume when meditating. Some people prefer sitting on the floor with the legs crossed, in the lotus position, while other people prefer sitting in a chair with their feet on the ground. Find a position that is comfortable for you. It can even be lying down if you so choose, but that may lead to sleepiness, and falling asleep would defeat the whole purpose of doing meditation in the first place. Really, the only common recommendation is to be in a position where the spine is straight and erect, and the head is in alignment with the spine. This is mainly to promote better circulation and energy flow throughout the body.

A meditation that many people start with is focusing on their breathing. Oxygenating the mind and body is excellent for focus and concentration, as well as for healing physical problems and health issues. It's been said that "breath is the substance of life". There are many different breathing techniques out there, none of which are specifically "needed" but they all recommend breathing deeply through the belly, not the chest. If you want to breathe both in and out through the nose, do that. If you want to breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth, do that. If you're unable to breathe in through the nose, then do it through the mouth. Again, do whatever you are comfortable doing. There are no specific rules although certain techniques may provide more substantial results and effects.

Naturally, unless you're focusing on an object you are looking at, it's recommended to have the eyes closed. As for the amount of time to sit in meditation for, 20-30 minutes is quite often a popular recommendation. Again, it comes back to what the individual is wanting to accomplish by meditating. At first, training the mind to focus on one thing will probably be difficult and the mind will most likely constantly wander. As soon as you take notice that it's wandering, just let those pointless thoughts go and return to the point of focus. Frustration, impatience, and boredom are some of the exact pointless thoughts that should be let go of. Just like anything else in life, the more you practice meditation, the easier it will become. Don't expect dramatic changes and results overnight. Changes might not even be noticeable at first but don't let this deter you from keeping up the practice. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained" and "practice makes perfect".

Manifesting Simplified
Thoughts, emotions, feelings, and most importantly the INTENTION behind those thoughts literally creates PHYSICAL reality. We all think that the thoughts in our head are "mine" and that they only exist in "my" head but this is absolutely not true. Thoughts are mostly random and repetitive, happening all by THEMSELVES, which is not the individual's doing, and because of our unawareness we identify those random thoughts as being "me", when they're not. Thoughts, just like everything else, are just a small minute part of the larger whole, which is the entire universe. Nobody and nothing is separate from any other person or thing. Everything is connected and everything is One thing.

This can be demonstrated quite easily by focusing on a cloud in the sky with the thought/intention "square cloud", and after roughly 10 minutes of gentle concentration, that cloud will be square. You ARE that cloud, and Everything else. ANYTHING can be set into motion and created with nothing more than focus, intention, feeling and KNOWING that it's working. The catch is that it won't work if you even SUBCONSCIOUSLY doubt it or don't believe it. Being skeptical will not reveal the truth. Open mindedness and believing are absolutely required to shape that cloud, or to heal the body.

MOST IMPORTANT KEY POINTS:
Never focus on the negative. Never focus on what you hate, don't like, or don't want.
Always focus on the positive.
Focus on being perfectly healed and healthy, not on the disease or ailment.
Always focus on what you do want, in the present tense, as if that something ALREADY IS, and then it will be.
Why? Because time is an illusion and because "thoughts are things." - Napoleon Hill
Thoughts literally create PHYSICAL reality, in one's body, and in the rest of one's "outer" life circumstances.
What we think, we receive. "What we think, we become." - Buddha
Whatever you put your focus on, think about, and give attention, you give more energy and a greater physical reality.
Whatever you put your focus on, think about, and give attention, you receive.
Let's repeat... NEVER focus on the negatives because that will only create MORE of the negatives.
We can't focus on the negative and somehow expect to receive the positive.
It may be difficult to understand or accept but thoughts don't just change the present, they can also change the "past".
This is referred to as "synchronicity". This creates so-called "co-incidences", "accidents", "luck", "miracles", etc.
Hold the positive thought, feel it with your very being, KNOW IT, allow it, NEVER doubt it, and it will come to be.
Be grateful for what you already have and what you have will grow. Gratitude is EXTREMELY powerful.
Positive thoughts are FAR more powerful than negative ones, so there is NOTHING to fear.

If focusing on healing an ailment or disease, don't automatically expect the healing to be a direct result of the meditation, although it sometimes can be. Everybody and everything is an interconnected One, and your meditations/prayer may be answered by a health product or book appearing in your life. It may be answered by a person saying a particular thing to you. It may even manifest in the form of a sudden inner revelation, inspiration, idea or epiphany. It's a simple matter of being open to all possibilities and taking action the moment things present themselves. The mind of the individual cannot see the endless and infinite possibilities of the universe. Let the truth reveal ITSELF in whatever form it presents itself.

What's Done Is Done So Let It Go
We cannot possibly place guilt or blame upon ourselves for something we were not aware of so please use past "errors" to learn and grow from, and NOT to feel bad about. The key to growth is to LEARN from the past so as to improve our present circumtances, and our present circumstance means nothing because it's based upon what we USED to be aware of. As long as we learn from our "mistakes" the negatives will always turn into positives. ALWAYS keep this in mind! So right now we're learning to manifest things purposefully but the major point to grasp is that it's actually happening at all times whether we are aware of it or not. Both our conscious and subconscious thoughts are creating our individual realities. Which means that there is no such thing as a co-incidence, accident, random event, miracle, fluke, luck, or chaos. Everything is the sole creation of the individual. Everything that happens to an individual, positive or negative, is the result of their own past actions, choices, thoughts, emotions, feelings and intentions, either in this life, or in past ones. "What goes around, comes around", "you reap what you sow", "everything comes full circle", "the ebb and flow", "balance in the universe", "the law of attraction" or "karma" is in effect 100% of the time. How would it be possible for it to be in effect only some of the time? Likes attract likes. Whatever you make yourself to BE, you attract more of, to you. So basically, each of us is a magnet. There can be no outside "cause" for anything. There are only effects of one's own choices and thought processes. It's important to realize that sometimes things manifest in the form of "group karma" as well. There is now science to back this up but we won't get into Quantum Physics, String Theory or Applied Kinesiology at the moment. Right now it's going to be up to YOU to put that cloud experiment to practice so that you can verify all of this for YOURSELF.

Just How Easy It Is
All we have to do is start taking notice of the random negative subconscious thoughts, and then let them go by adopting the positive instead. How do we know what is Negative or Positive? Normally when people aren't aware of this information, the thoughts in their head are all over the place, flip-flopping back and forth between what they want and don't want. Whatever thoughts/intentions are the most dominant will be the ones that manifest. If you doubt that your meditations/intentions are creating what you want, you've stopped the creation process. This is how the physical universe works, so OF COURSE it's working. Believe to the point of KNOWING that it's working, and it will. Just don't put a time restriction on it. It'll happen when it's ready to happen. Choose to be happy at all times, despite life's circumstances, hold the positive intentions, or forget about them completely, and they will come to be.

What Creates What
Thoughts like "I can't afford it", "I don't have the money", "I'm too busy", "there's no time", "I have <blank> disease", "I need <blank>", "I can't <blank>", "I don't like <blank>", "I hate <blank>", etc., are creating MORE of that exact physical reality for the individual. This is the ONLY reason "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer". Focusing on a lack of something will create a lack of something. Focusing on happiness and completion will create happiness and completion. Every individual and their "outside" life circumstances are a perfect reflection of their state of mind and what they choose to allow to go on inside their head. The ONLY limitations that exist are the ones we create for ourselves with our limited perceptions, ways of thinking, and lack of understanding of how the universe ACTUALLY works.

The Secret Movie
There's an excellent movie that can't be recommend highly enough that explains all of this, and much more, including some of the science behind it. The movie is called "The Secret" and it can be watched online for the same price as a movie rental, or the DVD can be bought from the website for $29.99US. It's worth every penny. The change it brings to one's life is worth FAR more than that. After all, money comes easily and frequently, IF you believe that it does. Life is full of INFINITE abundance and opportunities, IF you believe that it is. Life unfolds in perfect harmonious order, IF you believe that it does. There may be bumps along the road but that's nothing more than past karma.


The Potentiality of Nothingness
Nothing is manifested/existing physically unless there is an observer/mind watching and taking part. EVERYTHING is pure potentiality. There is a POTENTIAL for something to exist physically. From the infinite potentiality of the Unmanifest, comes the Manifest. From Non-Existence comes Existence. From "Nothing" comes "something".

Read.. Practice.. Repeat
If you're interested in putting this to work in your life, the key is to read this article over and over again until it all sinks in DEEPLY into the subconscious. If on the other hand you're not at all interested in any of this information, hopefully you didn't go wasting your time reading all of it. :)

Advanced Meditation & Enlightenment
At the highest levels, meditation is used to focus on the stillness and silence that precludes all individual will, intentions, desires, wants, "needs", emotions, thoughts, ideas, concepts, and thinking. This is for the purpose of letting the Truth with a capital "T", become us. Without our minds interfering, everything just IS, nothing more and nothing less, and it's the words, ideas, concepts, thoughts and thinking of the mind that keeps us from realizing we are ALREADY the Truth that is beyond the concept of "Is". This level of meditation is generally only for the very few who seek Enlightenment, or the truths of the universe, or their true nature as All of Existence. This step is for those who seek absolute and permanent completion, wholeness, perfection, peace, happiness, joy, bliss, etc. It's for those who wish to serve the world/universe in the highest possible way. It's for those who want to let go of the little self; the me, myself & I, which is the source of all problems and suffering.
Purposefully creating with thought is one goal, while moving beyond thought totally is a different goal altogether. One helps us cope with this physical world, while the other takes us beyond it. One perpetuates individual karma (positive & negative), while the other frees us of it permanently.

"The part always has a tendency to reunite with its whole in order to escape from its imperfection." - Leonardo DaVinci
Separation of ANY kind is an illusion created by our limited physical senses and ways of thinking. All is One, which is Self, which just Is.
