Astromarc - Meditations

Dear Truth Explorer, you have the opportunity to expand your personal awareness through the most simple and easy process of the Meditation, Visualization and Affirmation Practice. The following is a special meditation for Peace in the World and Peace in your own body, mind, soul. This World Peace meditation is a manifestation of spontaneous expression of Forgiveness and of True Loving Kindness. Therefore, I invite you to join with me and travel far away on a long journey, a pilgrimage for World Peace.

I write this Meditation following a personal encounter with and channel via Aaron Cliff-Walker, my Spirit Guide, the very reason you may trust the effectiveness of this World Peace meditation. This profound World Peace meditation comes from the very depth of Aaron Cliff-Walker's being where inner beauty glows, inner light shines and silence radiates, a place where relaxation flows so peacefully.

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
So while doing Meditation and Visualization Exercises I focus on the present moment. And by focusing on the PRESENT, I become fully conscious that I am connecting with Thousands of facilitators who are doing the same Meditation and Visualization Exercises the I describe below on this page.

AN EXPLORATION
When I do the Meditation, I simply surrender and allow myself to explore beyond familiar, acceptable territory. I feel connected with powers outside my normal realm of existence. I feel like being suspended in solid light, bathed in a veritable symphony of sparkling colors like a living rainbow, glistening like an iridescent living crystal.

GROWTH and IMPROVEMENT
How does one become fully conscious? Very simple, as far as I am personally concerned, I just leave some of my questions at the door of my mind. Emptiness is the secret of this Spiritual Practice. I surrender. In this state of emptiness, sitting quietly, doing nothing, just be questionless, open, available, waiting. I relax, I open my heart and I listen to my Inner Spirit. I listen to my body and soul. When I flow, each moment becomes ecstatic, a cosmic flowering, a communion with the Cosmos.

AARON CLIFF-WALKER
Aaron Cliff-Walker, my Spirit Guide expressly suggests to meditate. This World Peace meditation is full of surprises for you. Surprises totally different from anything you could ever think of. And since the world is nothing but miracles, lets keep asking for one more miracle, World Peace.

Aaron Cliff-Walker, my Spirit Guide says that if you calm your mind, your fears you'll be able to welcome the feeling of fullness, of balance. Receive it in your body, mind and soul. Maximize the feeling and send it back to the whole World. This World Peace meditation is a celebration of Life. This World Peace meditation is for those who want to hear the wild discordant rhythm of the Sun, the harmonious music of the Moon, the ecstatic songs of the Stars and the voice of the Wind in chorus with the waves of the Oceans.

So please, read the following instructions very carefully, since each word is full of significance. This World Peace meditation which results from my personal experience is done in a gentle way, a way of intelligence, intimacy and self-Love. Love. Nothing but True Love. Therefore proceed with reverence, with great sensitivity and compassion in a space filled with dimmed lights, twilight, quietness and silence. Soft music is also part of Silence.

So my dear friends, here is the MEDITATION for FORGIVENESS and for WORLD PEACE. Here is a short meditation I prepared for you:

PREAMBLE: Some people do get what they want out of their Life
A) by working hard of course
B) by meditating
C) by knowing what they really want and how to get it.

Please meditate on the following MANTRA: How could you be surprised in your Life, if you don't let Life surprise you?

TECHNIQUE
The following is my very own Technique that I would like to share with you. This technique for the Meditation is a way I imprint and program my subconscious mind to transform unpleasant situations into more pleasant ones.

How do I do that ?
A MUST: This MEDITATIVE exercise requires my TOTAL commitment in order to transform my wishes into a tangible form of reality. Since this MEDITATIVE exercise is a most valuable and effective tool towards conditioning myself positively, I promise myself to always persevere until I get the desired results.

BREATHING
When I do the Meditation, I constantly and consciously watch my in-breaths and my out-breaths. MEDITATIVE INTROSPECTION requires that one starts to breath consciously, uniting body and mind. When your breathing starts coming from the deeper abyss of your soul, this World Peace meditation will become a way of freedom, of self-Liberation from what has been forced upon you from outside influences.This World Peace meditation is a way of freedom, of self-Liberation from non-constructive thinking. A freedom from fear generated from constant questioning.

METHODOLOGY (it would facilitate the process if you were to tape the following and play it back while you start meditating).

FIRST, I create the time for quiet contemplation. Set a regular time every day to do this meditation.
The Meditation should be done in a silent space. Be silent, please. This silence should bring the greater clarity necessary to be able to watch the images.
Find a quiet place to sit or lie down (or even stand, if you prefer--go with what feels comfortable and settling to your own inner sense). I find a quiet place where I won't be disturbed. Alone, true to my being, sitting silently, doing nothing, dropping all thinking, rooted in pure consciousness, in an apparent emptiness, I meditate in a comfortable, private and quiet room, my own sanctuary.
ATTENTION: You may want to close your eyes if you wish, or keep them open if you prefer. Your "comfort zone" will tell you what works best for you in the moment.
Get into a comfortable position where you can be relatively still for about 20 minutes.
ATTENTION: you do not have to keep your back ramrod-straight and stiff, you do not need to cross or twist up your limbs, you do not have to lock your hands into a "mudra" (palms pressed in a prayer position) you do not have to make any special noises (aOUMMM) to receive Cosmic energy. Just find a position in which you are comfortable and still aware. Simply sit or lay down comfortably without any other artifax next to you.
ATTENTION: You don't need an altar, icon, incense, or any special environmental trappings. You just need a quiet place where you can be with your inner self and with the Cosmic energies that flow through us when we are in a silent and receptive inner place. Again, I repeat, sit down on a high cushion cross-legged on the floor, but a chair is fine as well. Yes, sit in stillness.
Listen to your body: let it tell you what position allows you to settle down and open to your inner life. Sit still in a quiet room where no one will bother you. I sit down comfortably in a very relaxed manner with eyes closed.
My own experience: When I sit down in my usual place of meditation, I bring awareness in my body. I let my attention rest easily on the sensations of my physical being. I become fully aware of a tingling here, a cramp there as they arise and pass away. I never interrupt the meditative process not even to answer the phone, of course. That would break the spell.
For this Spiritual Service to be fully pleasurable, I totally surrender, relax and let go the preoccupation of my daily routine.
I breath slowly, consciously and calmly in a very sensual way. Breathe normaly and start to push air OUT.
I consciously observe my breath.
I calmly breathe. I take a deep breath, and fully concentrating on each breath without thinking of anything else.
My own experience: As I mentally feel my arms, my legs, I start to focus on my breath. I let my breath come easily and naturally. I breathe out, I breathe in.
Feel relaxation gradually invading your heart, abdomen, brain, or other organ or body system.
Imagine this relaxation under the form of "Warm Honey Golden Light".
Trust and follow your own unique experience as the Cosmos manifests inside you.
While experiencing the invasion of Cosmic Inner peace gradually filling the Spiritual reservoir of your Body, allow the thoughts of your mind to pass through.
Just observe the thoughts of your mind.
Put your mid-finger and gently press between your eyebrows.
When doing that gentle pressure please keep your attention there, it will help silence the mind and relax the body. This area is also called the chakra of the third eye. The eye that looks inside!
Keep your attention on the third eye.
Take a few simple breaths in awareness of your own body.
Again, there is no need for the moment to breathe in a particular way (deeply, shallowly, forcefully, or anything else): just be aware of what happens within when you breathe.
While meditating absorb the transformative Cosmic energy that is filling your body.
Breathe in and OUT and focus on the OUT.
Let the INtake work on its own.
Observe your breath. normally IN and slowly and gradually, you voluntarily PUSH the air OUT.
While doing that, become a completely relaxed and attentive passive observer.
I (forcefully) breathe OUT. I Exhale sharply, emptying the lungs.
While "pushing out the air, I let go of internal preoccupation by being intimately present with what is happening here and now.
I calmly breathe IN. I feel the belly expanding again.
I watch whatever arises in me with a non judgmental attitude.
I simply concentrate on slow abdominal breathing, filling and emptying the lungs completely.
For SERENITY BREATHING, allow your self to become more relaxed,
going deeper in relaxation, permit yourself to let go more.
For SERENITY BREATHING, place your hands on your abdomen to feel the breath increases your awareness and help you monitor the deep abdominal process.
For SERENITY BREATHING, I calmly breathe IN. I watch my mood, my emotions.
I calmly breathe IN.
Inhale through your nose into your lungs so that your belly rises.
With inhalations we take in life energy.
I NEVER struggle with my mind.
I calmly breathe in soothing peace, and exhale my anger, my rage, my bitterness, my resentment, my isolation, my loneliness.
While breathing in, I see mentally some constructive and progressive images, visualizations.
Inhale slowly through your nose.
Mentally direct your breath down into your lower abdomen.
I (forcefully) breathe OUT. I Exhale sharply, emptying the lungs and pushing the stomach out.
STOP, hold for a moment.
Observe the sensation, observe the difference between tension and letting go.
While breathing in, I have a clear vision of the goal I want to achieve, I keep this image as vividly as possible for a few minutes.
I (forcefully) breathe out. When I exhale fully, the mind becomes clearer and more aware.
Be aware of your desires in life.
Focus your full attention on what you actually want to achieve. Let's say: FORGIVENESS.
Remember, the process of forgiving is a "journey." People who get to forgive perpetrations gradually experience far less anxiety and depression than a non forgiving person. Forgiving, however, does not mean letting the guilty party off the hook. Forgiving does not excuse or forget, forgiving means giving up resentment that you're entitled to. The paradox is that "by giving this gift to the other, it is the gift-giver who becomes emotionally healed.
Then, make a conscious choice towards the materialization of what is most important for you to achieve, materialize or activate NOW: again let's say: Forgiving a perpetrator.
Then, once you have a clear objective to attain (let's say: Forgiving a perpetrator), continue being a passive observer, waiting in complete stillness for more mental images to pass through your mind.
VISUALIZATION:
Observe your mind, your thinking pattern.
Clearly see the images of the (only one) object of your desires (forgiveness) passing through your mind. Clear images are most important. Fogged images or confused information MUST be discarded.
Remember, the object of your desire does require total clarity. This is why I recommend daily meditation practice.
Become a passive observer of these mental images. This observation should set their materialization in motion.
My own experience: With an acute sense of presence, I try to become more assertive. Then I am able to reach inside myself and bring up the chaos. Ready to experience the unspeakable and the unknown, I feel myself opening up to different impressions; anger, forgiveness, emotional warmth. I let these feelings grow and expand in my awareness.
Imagine and clearly visualize the complete materialization of the objective: forgiveness.
When images come up, do not engage into them. Simply observe the parade of images that pass through your mind.
Do not intervene. Do not try to modify the content of the images. If anger or rage is there, let rage be.
Please don't try to find any logic interpretation of any of the so-called messages you might receive. Remember, you observe images not messages. Simply remain a passive observer.
If your mind tries to turn your attention away from FORGIVENESS, firmly bring your attention back on what you actually want to materialize. There is no need for blind faith here. Look at this logically and you will see that it is truly this simple.
My own experience: I keep on letting my breath come IN easily and naturally. I willingly push OUT my breath until empty. Emptiness is the goal.
My own experience: Then I slowly focus on each person individually who has caused me pain or anger in the past. I name that person. I feel the anger he/she created in me. I take that anger and replace it with feelings of forgiveness.
My own experience: As I perceive each of the persons in my mind, I consciously recite that I forgive that particular person for the harm and pain he or she has inflicted upon me. I forgive his/her disturbing words, his/her hurtful actions. I also ask him/her to forgive me for anything I may have done to cause him/her pain. I need to be truly sorry for this process to work effectively.
Ageless Wisdom channeled from Spiritual Sources throughout history agrees that the ultimate goal is emptiness of any anger and inner peace. According to these sources, we should send out Loving Kindness.
True Ageless Wisdom teaches us that forgiving will maximize peace in our being. And Inner Peace is always free, there available.
While breathing in, I visualize receiving affection.
Then while breathing out, I send seeds of compassion and Loving Kindness to all living beings. By demonstrating my genuine caring for other living beings, I always experience an innermost essence of peace.
Once you feel, the process is completed; allow the images to leave, to fade away.
Stay put. Remain still in quiet silence.
If feelings of joy, relaxation and comfort are present, allow them to invade your body.
Finally, once you feel you have reach the completion of this Meditation, please thank the Spirit Sage and Cosmic helpers for their assistance during the Meditation.
Once, you've completed the meditative process, simply get up and carry on with daily living.
CONCLUSION: Give it a try. Its possibilities are limitless. If you can do this well, you will bring inspiration and joy to those around you. If you can do this well, it will enrich your life and the lives of those you contact as it did in ways they could never understand for those who tried it consistently. Try it and you'll blossom!
ATTENTION: If you have never meditated before (or never thought you had or could meditate), and you have tried the little seven step practice above, then congratulations--you've just practiced your "first meditation."
It may have taken 20 minutes or more--the time does not matter. What matters is each experience, and your feelings of each experience.
When you return for another meditation, (it doesn't have to be in the same place, position, or time, though many people do naturally develop certain routines about these matters), please delevelop a general routine that is most natural and comfortable (and effective) for you. Remember, this Meditation will eventually relate to our learning from the Spirit Sage, either through Meditation, the I Ching or other types of insight experiences.
Ageless Wisdom channeled from Spiritual Sources reveals that with an acute sense of generosity, we have the power to reach inside ourselves and bring up great talents to share with others.
This particular Meditation is also be helpful in reaching a degree of balance. TaiChi is also another to make contact with the calmness of nature. Which of course can turn quite violent at times.
During those times of violence, True Ageless Wisdom teaches us, you and me, to do Spiritual Chanting by allowing sounds to vibrate through your body could give you a potent power to deal with the inner tremors you could be experiencing at that time.
Since quiet meditative visualization practices should be regarded as stepping stones towards contentment, summon your kind and loving human resources within and be ready to experience a sensation of warmth in your chest at the Heart Chakra.
According to Ageless Wisdom philosophy, the practice of such Meditation brings peace and favors the fulfillment of very powerful wishes.
Finally, if presently, you do not feel light and clear, other meditations also bear inexhaustible spiritual riches for you if you are willing to explore the MEDITATION pages on this Web Site. Your heart has a logic all its own. Please, don't try to understand it, just follow along!

TO get some periods of physical exercise, alternated with relaxation and MEDITATION.
TO keep busy.
TO maintain as normal a schedule as possible.
TO make as many daily decisions as possible.
TO structure and prioritize your time while staying with normal routines.
TO accept the feelings you have and understand them as normal responses to unusual events. MEDITATION helps you assimilate the grieving loss (lost innocence) in order to emerge stronger.
TO reach out to others.
TO spend time in the company of others.
TO talk to people. People do care.
TO help others as much as possible
by checking out how they are doing.
TO give your Self permission to feel "rotten".
TO honor your emotions even if they give rise
to unusually strong "irritability or anger" reactions.
TO refuse to emotionally take the intense and overwhelming problems of mates or of other people personally.
If you feel overloaded with too much stimulation you shut down feeling numb, in shock or dead inside. Emotionally you shut down and don't feel anything. Spiritually you're disconnected, you have a spiritual crisis or it doesn't mean anything to you at all.
TO refuse to withdraw. Distressing feelings can not be repressed or forgotten. Troubling events replay over and over in the course of a lifetime. They do not improve in isolation. To fix them you have to be connected to others.
TO remain available.
YES, reaching out to and helping others. Baby-sitting, giving blood after a disaster could be a therapeutic impulse.
TO refuse to compare yourself with others.
Please DON'T tell traumatized people they are "lucky it wasn't worse." Most people are not consoled by such statements.
Instead tell them that you are sorry such an event has occurred and you want to understand and assist them.
TO spend time with others. Talking to others is very healing for most people.
TO share your feelings with others.
TO talk about any trauma you may have experienced and express the pain you feel. Talking about the experience will make the memory less distressing.
TO keep a journal. Write your way
through those sleepless hours. Don't worry, you most probably have the coping skills to get through past difficult experiences.
TO get plenty of rest.
TO eat well-balanced and regular meals, even if you don't feel like it.
TO be alert for "psychic" dreams. They are normal and will increase over time.
TO think twice before you make any big life changes at this time, because actions such as changing jobs tend to be highly stressful in themselves.
TO refuse to use drugs or alcohol as coping mechanisms; they only numb the pain and delay recovery.
TO meditate as often and as regularly as possible.
