Manifestation Mastery

Visualization is a very important part of manifestation. Being able to visualize what you want to manifest in vivid detail while in a relaxed state is a powerful tool for creating that desire as a reality in the material world. You can also use visualization to put yourself into a state of deep relaxation and deep awareness. Meditations that involve visualization to achieve deep relaxation and awareness are often referred to as guided meditations, since most commonly another person guides the meditating person into the visualization by verbally walking that person through the imagined scene. Another technique for using visualization in meditation involves focusing on an image or a series of images while being guided into a relaxed state. These types of guided meditations are great for beginners who feel lost or foolish in basic sitting meditation, and the beneficial effects can be just as great. Many guided meditations are available at no cost online. A good selection of free, online guided meditations can be found at www.learningmeditation.com. Another technique for using visual materials in meditation is yantra meditation. A yantra is an abstract design that actually changes the person who meditates on it. Different yantras has different meanings and effects, and in addition, all are very beautiful. To see some yantras and read about yantra meditation and how to get started with it, you can visit www.sanatansociety.org.

Some people have a difficult time quieting their minds when sitting perfectly still, but find that walking meditation suits them perfectly. You might well ask, what is the difference between walking meditation and simply going for a walk? The difference is in the mindfulness involved. During walking meditation, instead of using the breath or a mantra to bring our attention back to the present moment, we use awareness of our own bodies moving through space to keep our attention in the now. During walking meditation, we may have thoughts, we may be distracted by sights and sounds in the world around us, but we always gently bring our attention back to our bodies and the pure sensation of movement. People sometimes think that meditation is meant to stop thoughts. This is not accurate. In any form of meditation, the goal is not to stop thoughts from coming, but to detach from them, and simply observe them the way we might observe a bird or a rock. By adopting this attitude toward thoughts and distractions, we begin to identify with pure awareness, which is a function of our higher Self. We are able to live in the moment, not in our heads.
