Anyone who is ready to start their spiritual journey, by learning to meditate, can begin here. Meditation is an ancient practice used in different forms in many cultures, from Asia, the Middle East, India, to the American Indians. In the Upanishads (the sacred scriptures of India) there is an outline of our spiritual journey:

Inside your body is a shrine.

Inside the shrine is a lotus flower.

Inside the lotus is a tiny space.

Inside that tiny space lives the creator.

Inside the creator is the Universe.

Find it, and you will be one with the creator and all things.

Be there, and all things and the creator will be one with you.

Meditation begins with silence and stillness. This is not absolute silence or perfect stillness, because they don’t naturally exist on this planet. I have always said I can find silence in an airport. Granted, it takes a great deal of concentration, but it is possible. In fact, I became so good at it, my daughter at a very young age started saying to me, “Earth to Daddy, earth to Daddy.” when she needed to get my attention.

The same is true of stillness. We need to learn to settle down the body and be aware of everything that is going on within it. All energy needs to flow up through us without being blocked. It is even possible to find inner stillness while walking, running, skiing, or doing any repetitive action. I usually do a series of yoga stretches before I begin to meditate. This helps me to center my body while preparing to center my being.

There are many forms of meditation, and they all work to some degree. The only common denominator that must be present is that they help your mind achieve one pointedness, where the mind is directed to let go of all other thoughts but one. To accomplish this, some meditators use a light point, a candle flame, a star, etc. Others use an object, the surface of water, a plant, etc. Many use a breathing technique. Still others use some form of mantra.

In my new book, THE MEDITATION BIBLE, I offer a unique meditation process that actually shuts down your rational thoughts and ego without using the mind at all. It is an ancient process that was used over three thousand years ago. In this process you learn to listen to your body, which is part of creation. You will learn how to breath naturally. You will find your centre of being. You will experience the Love-light within you. There you will find the ‘Great I Am’ in the Love-light. Connect and He will give you your purpose in life.

I strongly recommend that you start this Mediation process, no matter what meditation form you are currently practicing or have practiced in the past.

Group meditation is a wonderful experience. Although, it cannot replace our daily practice of meditation, it can add a sense of family which is greatly needed in our technological and media dominated world. How often the group meets is up to its members. The size of the group can be from 5 to 30 members. If a group should grow larger than 30, they can simply split into two or more groups.

All this I describe in detail in THE MEDITATION BIBLE. This is only an outline of Group Meditation.

What form of meditation an individual is using should be of no concern to the group, just as any religious affiliation or lack thereof should be accepted. There are many agnostic or atheistic people who are searching for a spiritual direction in life.

Verbal chanting should not be used.

The only common interest that holds the group together is the desire to find one’s spiritual center, inner being, or start a spiritual journey. The group should be non-institutional, or unaffiliated with any institution. The location should be a neutral meeting place or a home. The purpose of the group is to be a supportive family to each other, and not some supper movement driven by a cult of personality.

When you are connected to the “Great I Am” within you, you will realize that you are automatically connected to the “I Am” in everyone and everything else. My greatest joy is the random meeting of those who are connected. And when 1% of the population becomes connected in meditation the world will change all by itself.

Here is an outline of the Meditation agenda:

The Gathering (30 minutes)
Transition to the inner room (five minutes)
A talk or story (10 to 15 minutes)
Meditation (30 minutes)
Conversation

I use this format in starting groups in different locations. With five people all the principals of group dynamics kick in. The most basic principal of a meditation group is that everyone has a “Great I Am” center.

Even though it is important to avoid any dos and don’ts for the discussion, there are two behavior modifications that I recommend as guidelines.

Learn to listen to what others are saying.
Only one person should be angry at a time.

These two behavior modifications will allow you to maintain your spiritual center even during the discussion period.

The conversation period is there so we can share our experiences and strengthen our spiritual centers, our inner being.

Let the Love-light fill you.

Let the ‘Great I Am’ guide you.

The ‘Great I Am’ is one and the same in each of us and everything. Even though we are all different. Our creator and a trees creator are the same. When your connected, ask the tree.
