Part Six: Meditation Technique and Tips
could imagine a shining sun, of any size that you like, bright
like the midday sun but clean and soothing as the moonlight
on a full moon night. You can choose any object that you like
as long as it makes you feel calm, pure, and content. Some
people visualize candle flames, crystal balls, the moon, etc.
To imagine an object in the center of your body, you
need to know the method. Slowly imagine the object with
ease. Relax. Keep it simple. As simple as it would be to think
of a football, a car, a house, or anything that is familiar. Do
not force your mind to think of the object to a point that it
makes you feel tense. Do not use too much effort or stare
at it, as staring will deter you from allowing better feelings
from arising. Gently imagine the object, and relax. It does
not matter if it is not clear. Be satisfied with however clear it
is. Maintain your mind calmly, let it stop and be still. Think
of that mental object continuously. Do not let your mind
wander. If you do think of something else, you can maintain
your stillness of mind and concentration by reciting a short,
soothing phrase.
Recite the word phrase of choice in your mind softly, as
if the soft sounds were coming from the center of the mental
object in the middle of your abdomen. Recite the word phrase
of choice continuously, whilst thinking of the bright mental
object, gently and comfortably floating in your center. Focus
your mind to be still at the center of the bright mental object
within. Maintain your mind on the object and phrase in the
center of your body continuously, softly, and comfortably
until your mind is still.
