*Proceed with meditation with caution if you choose to use a candle, in other words, don't burn your house down. Also, these opinions are my own and are meant in no way to persuade one to think or believe in the things I do. We're all individuals, so you can choose what tickles your brain and what doesn't. :D
As we near the end of the thirty day meditation, I have found that the majority of the meditations were to my liking, and less than a handful, not so much, but I feel that this is a good thing, if you want it to be. What better way to continue meditation, than to look back and continue to practice the ones that did resonate with you and to already know which ones did not. This meditation was one of my favorites.
Gazing meditation is meant to help you focus and concentrate. It is also thought to improve eyesight and is used to enhance psychic abilities, almost like scrying, the art of staring into a candle, or reflective object for purposes of divination, or fortune telling. Today, we'll stick to concentration, since I am still working my way up the chakra ladder and don't want to jump ahead to my third eye chakra. I am also not sure I am ready for something to be potentially staring back at me either. LOL! Yeah, I should probably watch less horror movies.
The meditation: Do your usual breathing, five counts in, breathing in positive thoughts, exhaling to the count of eight, negativity, stress, worries, anxieties. Whichever you pick for your three, or do all of them each time. Repeat the breathing process three times, until your mind is clear. I chose a candle for this exercise. When ready, stare at your object without blinking, focusing on one particular part of your object. I chose the spot where the wick and flame meet. When you are ready to blink, close your eyes. Can you see the flame (in my case)? If you don't see it right away, don't worry. Remember, this exercise is meant to improve concentration. Repeat step one, two more times. After the third time, when you are ready, open your eyes slowly and think about the meditation.
My meditation summary? Well, as I mentioned, I was not using this to open my third eye chakra, but I would be lying to you, if I told you I didn't see my flame become shapes. I will keep those shapes to myself, though I did write them in a book, so if it was my third eye chakra saying hello, hopefully I will one day be able to validate this. It was nothing bad, but some things you just like to keep personal, or you don't know how to articulate it without sounding like you just stepped off the train to the funny farm.
I don't think psychics or mediums are crazy. In fact I believe in them. It is a personal opinion, but gifts are gifts. There was a time in the human existence where people would take other's for a ride, learning how to manipulate them into giving answers without realizing it, only for a 'professional' to turn around and use it on them, giving them a false belief, but the majority of these people are reality based and know what they are doing. I have seen them in action first hand. According to my cousin, we're seventh generation psychic on our Hawaiian side. Native Americans are spiritualists, when you stop to think about it. As I said, I am working my way up the ladder and at some point, I will be in a position where my third eye and I will shake hands and formally meet, until then, I just follow the path I am on, learning how to climb the colorful ladder of energy centers.
This all said, use this meditation with respect. I don't think I will be touching this one again for awhile, since there were so many other mind clearing meditations for me to use, as well as confidence boosting one and centering ones. Those are the meditations I need at this time. Choose wisely and remember, always respect the unknown. Again, delving into these things is not a hobby to be taken lightly, so be respectful.
Until tomorrow...let go of your past, don't worry about tomorrow and live in the here and now.
So is this 7th generation psychic on our side?
