Meditation is the cornerstone of all spiritual practices. Meditation is often referred to as prayer. Whatever the name, meditation is a quieting of the mind-body system and an opening of the spiritual system. The purpose of meditation is to communicate with God.

People have sought communication with God for various reasons- from despair over the chaos of the world to the desire to rejoice in the beauty around us. The use of a daily communication with God, or meditation time, allows us to always have this spiritual interaction available to us at all times. We do not need an intermediary, a special place or anything except ourselves and the ever-present Cosmic Consciousness.

Because meditation is spiritual communication, it is necessary to have faith that we are spirit and that the communication will become real as we allow it. All spirit seeks communication. Meditation allows our awareness of ourselves and all others as spirit, and helps us to see and have our spiritual path on earth. It helps us gain and maintain our spiritual perspective. It assists us to transform our physical reality to our spiritual purpose.

There are many forms of meditation on this earth. There are meditations to assist the soul to be more in tune with the body and some to assist the soul to be separate from the body.  There is no perfect meditation, there is only the meditation which is correct for the individual soul according to its present growth.

One goal of meditation is to learn to balance spirit and body. As the purpose of meditation is to reestablish one’s communication with God, we need to be aware that we are spirit, and the body is our communication system in the physical world. When we connect the body to the rest of reality, we connect ourselves as spirit through our communication system (the body)  to our  chosen learning medium (the planet). When we do this, we learn that we need to clear our body of all foreign and debilitating-energies in order to communicate most clearly through it.

This cleansing process through meditation takes time and space, as do all things in this reality.  When we begin cleansing the body, we discover the energy and information of many people we have interacted with during this lifetime.  We also discover inappropriate concepts we have brought with us from past lives. We have also stored debilitating energies such as pain, doubt, hate, criticism, judgement, guilt and grief in our bodies.

This list of cleansing projects may seem insurmountable; however, we do have an entire lifetime to work on them. Also, all during this cleansing process, we will be communicating as spirit with God. This enhances our clarity, and it becomes easier with every passing day of meditation. The important thing is to continue with your meditation and not be discouraged when you discover another project, and then another. As with all things in the physical, meditation requires time and attention.

The times of communication with God during meditation assist you to pass through the difficult learning experiences of life. Whether the learning is a present time creation, the clearing of past experiences, or the cleansing of foreign energies, the quiet time spent in communion with the Cosmic Consciousness gives us the strength to continue our pursuit of God Consciousness.

Once you have broken through the clouds, so to speak, and experienced the beauty of communication and oneness, the process becomes so meaningful, it is difficult to eliminate from your life. You begin to enjoy your body and your body begins to welcome you.

The main ingredient to assure continued meditation practices is strength. It is not necessary to be intelligent. talented, pure, or anything else. You must simply be strong and determined enough to continue until you reach a spiritual awareness level that will carry you on from there.

The spirit needs to reestablish its seniority over the body and relearn how to communicate through its body.  The body needs to learn to accept the spirit and to be cleansed of the inappropriate information stored within it.

As most people find it difficult to simply sit still and focus enough to reach this state without assistance, there are techniques to help one to attain a space of quiet.  One meditation technique can help you experience yourself as spirit and  your communication with God.  Like anything else in this reality, you have to use it for to work for you.  You cannot read it or think about it and consciously perform the technique to experience any result.  Use this mediation technique of grounding every day.
