Greetings friends and members of the community.
My background of knowledge is heavier on the mental, emotional, "spiritual" natures which are intertwined with the biological Nature.
As I move forward with "time" on Earth, I learn, I grow, I expand, I explore internally and externally.
Today I want to bring forth a meditation method and in some cases with correct intent, Astral travel experience.
The first time I went through this exercise, I was spontaneously brought into Astral form (the dream body for simplistic defining). Which, I carried
my intent and conciousness to travel to specivic geography on Earth and such...
The elements are Raw nature, and very powerful in the universe. They create and support everything that is, and will be, within this womb called
universe.
No doubt humanity has steered very far away from their natural; order, connection, intunment, and awareness of self and it's connection with Earth and
the elements.
Much of our ancestors and their ways do not make any sense to us. Mainly, our internal hard wiring, is being manipulated unconsciously, hence the loss
of connection and understanding certain natures and realities.
Anyways moving forward.
The flame, the fire, the purifying element.. has always been one of the more admired of the 4 raw elements. More so for its mental and spiritual
(internal) aid.
This exercise works for me, not every time, but it depends on the practioners INTENT, DESIRE, CONTROL while going through the mental and internal
nature.
Let's get to it;
This exercise only takes a darkened room, and a lit candle, or fire. The flame itself should be the dominant form of EXTERNAL light within the
practioners environment/space.
One has to focus on none other then the flame itself. Two eyes, focused and staring at one light source, the dancing flame. Blinking is natural, but
constant thought is NOT.
One must stop any train of thought, and focus a STILL mental. Just gaze the flame, in balance and stillness. Your mental focus should be more still
and focused then the flame itself. You will understand what I mean by NOT out thinking the flames motion/dance.
Allow the image of the lit flame to "burn" (pun not intended) into your minds eye. This means; when you do close your two receptive eyes, you will
still see this flame image within your mind.
Continue gazing the flame undisturbed, mentally motionless, and free of thought. Feel one with the flame, the fire, the element itself.
After about 15-30 minutes I usually get sent into Astral form, or leave awareness of the physical body/external surrounding.
When that flames image is burned in your minds eye (third eye btw) you can try and keep your eyes closed, and continue the same focus on the now
INTERNAL FLAME.
This is very simple exercise, as truth and nature is always simple and not confusing. That is natures way, the way of the elements, simple and multi
purposeful.
The rest of the meditation is up to you. For example;
While focusing on the external or now internal flame, you can now exercise INTENTION. If you want to travel somewhere, focus your intent while
gazing the flame still, of that which you want to explore.
The Mastery or trick to the mind is this -
Control thought, be STILL in your mental. Have no thoughts, no idea, no opinion, no expectation. Just BE STILL AND BE ONE WITH FLAME.
The little kinks on our mind always steer us from focus, your job as a human being in yhe cosmos is to master thought, then master body, and master
spirit.
The True Trinity, our true Nature as a conscious entity of universe.
I would appreciate feedback if anyone is interested with this technique. Such a technique can be used with either element, but the nature of each is
different then the next.
For instance - some relate and connect best with fire and do not.connect with with air per say. Or another connects and masters air but struggles with
fire and water.
Learning to master each element is the keys to the doors, in this realm.
Thank you for reading, wholeness
