Morning practices are different for everyone, since around
dawntime, you switch from lunar to solar mind.Perfect times for
meditation are Sunrise(air element), sunset(Earth element) and
midnight(water element).To make conscious consumption of food and
drink easier when youre with other people, either;Affirm yourself
what you consume is your virtue in solid or liquid form (i.e. Rice
as crumbles of success on your plate)Be aware of the food and drink
in your mouth as you eat (this charges it with your consciousness,
sweetening the taste) Your understanding of each practice grows as
you discover simple and better ways to practice the
practice.Focusing on the blackness of your eyelids brings you to
the moment and prepare you for Step 2 practices.There are micro and
macrothoughts. First is everyday thoughts, second are from your
past, childhood, etc.Once youre through macro, mind will be silent
for a while and real challenge starts with micro
thoughts.Microthoughts can cause anxiety depending on intensity of
emotion attached to it. Chamomile tea is good.Dealing with
microthoughts prepares you for introspection, retrospection &
soul mirror practices (Step 2).Meditation isnt always sitting
cross-legged. Frankincense or myrrh, resin or incense sticks calm
the mind.Introduction and General Q&A
DESO are the 4 Chemicals I mentioned during the chat, you can
read more about them
here.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/thai-nguyen/hacking-into-your-happy-c_b_6007660.htmlHere
are the 4 Seasons of the day. No one asked the Akasha. At our level
it is no use to us, so its fine.05:00 am - 07:00 am:Air element of
the day11:00 am - 01:00 pm:Fire element of the day05:00 pm - 07:00
pm:Earth element of the day11:00 pm - 01:00 am:Water element of the
dayActual 4 Seasons only positively affect your meditation like the
weather does (rain, sunlight, etc.)If you did not get your daily 6
hour sleep, do not be awake at 3-5 am. Thats when energy enters
into liver.If you meditate at the same hour everyday, your magnetic
body cycle gets used to it (forgot to mention).Waking up early at
dawn requires discipline, going to bed requires an iron will. 10 -
8 pm are best for bed.Drink 8 - 12 glasses of water everyday. Make
sure pH level is at least 7.6, if its above 9 its perfect.
Introduction and General Q&A
Breath follows mind, mind follows breath. Use this to your
adventage. Slow down breathing to calm mind.Become aware of your
breath to practice TO. Breathing is the only thing happening in you
every moment.For Rest: Inhale through nose, exhale through mouth
slowly. Keep this up as long as possible.For Awareness: Inhale and
exhale as you feel yourself absorbing the air in your mouth.For
Calming Down: Inhale and exhale as slowly as possible (without
holding breath in between).Aim here is to gradually increase the
activity in the brain, by raising the oxygen level capacity it can
hold.If you do any yoga, you dont have to switch to Bardons
suggestion of 4-4-4. It is not necessary to switch.It will however
be necessary to have a core practice which expands your
consciousness. If you dont know any, I will give you one next week
and explain the necessity of it.
