ON GETTING IN TOUCH WITH YOUR INNER BEING THROUGH MEDITATION
In order to sense your inner world
you must first quiet the physical world.
You must remove your conscious focus from the physical world,
that you might perceive the inner world.
It is not a difficult process. Some call it
meditation.
It is a time of quieting the physical, that you may sense the inner world.
Sit in a quiet place, making yourself comfortable, and close your eyes - and be.
And as you are comfortably sitting,
quiet your conscious thinking mind.
We encourage a short time in every day -
15 or 20 minutes is enough.
The time of day is not important
and it need not be the same time in every day,
but it is important that you set aside the time in every day.
As you have quieted your conscious thinking mind -
perhaps by concentrating upon your breathing -
and as you are not so aware of the physical world in which you live,
you will begin to perceive the inner world,
and for each opf you it will be a different experience.
We encourage you not to compare your experience with those of another,
for there is no value in comparison.
-
Each of you are already receiving communication from that Inner Being
in the form of emotion,
but you can receive much more detailed information if you are wanting it.
The process of quieting your physical world so that you may sense the inner world
will open that path of communication
between your physical dimension and the inner dimension
so that you may receive guidance that is appropriate.
Once your channel or pathway has been established,
there are many wondrous benefits.
-
It is important that you identify the intent
as you move into this segment of meditation.
If your intent is to open the passageway between dimensions
that you may receive clear communication,
then state it as you are beginning to meditate.
- Abraham Hicks

Re: Quotes on Meditation
As you allow the blending of your conscious thinking physical being and your broader Inner Being,
you will then have the advantage of ALL of the knowing that has been accumulated by you
through all physical and Non-physical life experiences,
instead of the limited knowing that you have accumulated only in this physical lifetime.
- Abraham, 1988

"If there is an opportunity to praise, I am going to praise. If there is an opportunity to criticize I am going to keep my mouth shut and try to meditate. If I feel like criticizing I’ll say “here kitty kitty” and I’ll pet my cat til the feeling goes away."

And the more you withdraw from the chaos into the stability of what's really going on,
the more what you call "real life" will take on the contours of THIS, of Source,

The vortex vision has clarified everything!
It's purified everything.
It's taken the resistance out of everything.
And it's going to manifest!
The more you tune into it, the more ready you are...

so are you going backwards into real life, or FORWARD into real life?"

Re: Quotes on Meditation
Some meditate to quiet the physical world because they seek rest or freedom from physical presssures and responsibilities;
Others meditate to sense their broader, more expansive inner world.
From our perspective, the most significant intention for the process of meditation is to facilitate the opening of a pathway or channel, between dimensions. [physical and non-physical]
Once a passageway has been established throug the process of meditation,
then communication can easily be transmitted and received from both dimensions.
From your conscious physical perspective, the advantage in openign that pathway is that you will have greater knowing and greater guidance from a broader vantage point.
As you open that channel between dimensions, literally every decsion that you make will be more appropriate,
for yoru perspective will be broader and clearer.
And as you decide what it is that you want, that decision will be transmitted through this passageway and will be mroe efficiently manifested into the physical equivalent, or lif e experience.
While you are now receiving communication from your Inner Being in the form of your emotions,
once your passageway is open, the transmitting of emotion will be even greater and the potential for continual, harmonious, joyous creation will be greater, for you will be more aware of yoru Guidance System, sensing your emotions quickly, so that you may immediately stop miscreating, and redirct your thoughts to that which you want.
-
[ Meditation is not intended] to distract your from your physical life experience,
for we understand your deilberate intent to be physically focused.
We are encouraging a blending.
An enhancement of this physical experience.
- Abraham Hicks, January 1988

Re: Quotes on Meditation
How long should we meditate for?
Now, we are encouraging a blending of this conscious physical being with your Inner Being. (...)
As you are wanting to accomplish the blending
- indeed the awakening that you have so long been hearing about -
we encourage setting a time aside of 15 or 20 minutes in every day for the allowing of that,
but not more.
And the rest of your focus, indeed, keep it here, in the here and now.
For this is where you are creating, you see.
There are many who do not understand that,
and in part it is because they are wanting to escape.
They have created that which they do not like,
so now they are wanting to get on to something else,
and so they are literally focusing outside of their reason for being here, you see.
And it does not feel right.
Your emotion guides you, you see.
- Abraham Hicks
-
As you are wanting to become this blended being, and indeed you are wanting it,
all that is requried is that you want it and allow it.
The wanting is easy, it is already done.
The allowing is done by setting teim aside in every day,
15 or 20 minutes,
where you will allow yourself to receive a state of numbness. (...)
The allowing part is accomplished in this way:
In every day, set a time aside of 15 or 20 minutes, not more,
for the intent is to quiet the physical thinking mind,
and if you ask it to be quiet for more than that, it will resist it.
15 or 20 minutes is quite enough.
Not one, and then not the next, and then one day, and then not the next.
Consistency of a number of days.
20 days will be enough.
20 days, of every day, of siting for 15 or 20 minutes
will allow the opening of your passageway.
Now, as you are sitting, put your feet on the floor and your hands in your lap or whereever is comfortable.
Do not lay down or you will go to sleep.
Do not sit in too comfortable of a chair, you may go to sleep.
And if you go to sleep, you are not doing your work, you see.
And so, you are sitting with the intent of "meditation".
The intent of this process is to quiet the physical, so that you may sense the inner.
Which means you must not consciously think.
As you are sitting in a quiet room with no distraction of light or sound,
with your eyes closed,
focys upon your breathing,
for as you focus upon that which does require htought, but not very much thought,
you will quiet your mind.
And so, as you breathe out and breath in, and breathe out and breathe in... (...)
If you will allow yourself to breathe very deeply,
you will find yourself feeling a little bit tingly.
And as you are doing it - it may be in teh first sitting - you will find yourself feeling a little bit disassociated with what is physical.
As you are feeling a little bit numb - you may not even feel the chair beneath you - you have done your work.
Now, if it does not occur in teh first or second or even the 10th sitting, do not worry about it.
Let that be your objective thought:
"I am wanting to quiet my mind
and I will know my mind is quiet when I have acheived numbness".
And as you are feeling this numbness, a sort of tingling, different from anything you have known,
you will recognize that it is new.
Know that you have done your part,
and now your Inner Being will do its part.
Your Inner Being, once you have achieved this quieting,will begin the opening of your passageway. (...)
Once numbness has been achieved, in however many days it takes to acomplish that,
then know that your passageway is being opened,
and you will know that it is being opened;
You will fel it being opened because you will feel sensations.
You will feel a twitch here and a twinge there.
Nothing that is painful,
but you will say: "Oh they are working on my nose!
I can feel them in my toes!"
Just a little sensation, and all it is is the new Energy that is flowing through you,,
and you will notice the difference here and there.
Once you are receiving movement (head rolling around on neck)
your passageway is open.
And once your passageway is open,
then there is not a need for this meditation process any more
[for the purpose of the opening of the passageway with your Inner Being]. (...)
When the passageway is open what does that mean?
Does that mean that anything that is out there may pass through it?
Indeed it does not.
It means that you are opening the passageway between you and YOU.
Your Inner Being, the being that sends forth emotion to you already,
will now be able to send not only clearer emotion, but thought.
ANd it also means you will be benefiting All That Is
because once hte passageway is open,
not only do you benefit by the knowing that comes forth from teh inner dimension,
but all that is within the inner dimension ebenfits more clearly by the experience that you are participatign within.
For the passageway allows information and experience to pass both ways, you see?
This is literally the awakening that has been talked about.
Most being do not know that it is something for everyone to experience.

Re: Quotes on Meditation
Q. Once you open the passageway [between you and your Inner Being]...
I meditate every day because I feel like I need to keep the passageway open.
Abraham: Wanting is enough.
Q. Wanting it is enough, after it's been opened?
Abraham: Anything that has been created,
all that is required is that you continue to want it, (...)
or give attention to that which you have created.
[by giving it attention or appreciation]
and it will be. (...)
As you are looking around at those things that you want, feel your appreciation for them.
Q. What would cause it to shut down?
Abraham Not wanting it.
[or not giving it any attention].
You see, there is not an ending to any creation.
[There is just creating a new situation instead].

The difference between sleep and meditation
In sleep, there is a stopping of momentum.
In meditation, there is a change in frequency.

Re: Quotes on Meditation
Is a 11- day Silent Meditation a good thing?
The difference of "shutting up when OOTV", and "joyfully rambling from ITV"!
HS:
I'm going to a 11 day silent meditation, starting tomorrow. And I'm looking for advice of
how to take this time, to get the most out of it and springboard my life into bliss!
Abe (growling)
Well... the thing that's interesting about something as intense as that is, if you've trained
your mind to be very responsive -and you've trained yourself to be very communicative,
and so -to just stop communication, for... (pause, whispering: 11 days)...
HS:
I tried it once before, I made it seven, and it was profound. The results I got in those
seven days, and what I saw with it I can...
Abe:
We can see why! We can see why. Because... because in the no longer speaking,
there is less perpetuation of the momentum of a thought. Because there's no one being
your soundboard and an adding to it. Our advice is... our advice is- don't go!
[Applause, HS laughing, mumbling]
Abe:
Well of course you can go and of course you're up for it. But why make something so
difficult? Why go so hard against your natural nature? Why not...
...why not just modify gently and gradually? (...) and we know the answer! The answer is:
"Because I've got no self-discipline! Unless I surround myself with conditions, where
everybody has agreed to the same thing, then I'm not likely to keep my word to myself."
And we start to kind of get that. But so let's talk about the reasons that that was a profound
experience. So, momentum is the big subject here! Because when you give your attention
to something law of attraction responds to it.
And in silence, there is going to be less momentum.
Now, some people say "but Abraham, I have this mind that is just chattering all the time. And
just because I'm not talking..." in fact, sometimes if you are not expressing, then your mind
becomes even more active! (...)
It's not about the action of speaking or not speaking,
it's about the finding of the thought or the words or the action, that harmonize with who
you really are, you see!
Silent meditation implies something... oh, oh,
it implies something that is so contrary to what we know to be!
When Esther is in alignment with us, do you find her silent?
[Laughter]
HS: Not at all!
Abe:
When you're in alignment with well-being, don't you want to oooh and awwee about the
beauty of the surroundings around you? Don't you want to describe them in detail?
-The only time that silence is ever of value, is if you are out of the Vortex.
If you are in a place of misalignment. If you are beating the drum... if you've got negative
momentum! So, if you've got so much negative momentum going on, that you need to go
stand in a place of silence for a long period of time- then we can see how that would be of
advantage to you.
But source wants to express through you!!
Source wants to laugh through you!
Source wants to yodel down the canyon through you!
In other words, silence... silence... there's a misunderstanding!
And you help us say something very important.
If you got something negative going on: shut up.
We love you all so much! But when you are tuned in, tapped in, turned on- be boisterous
in your revelations!!! In your reveling of life experience!
