How to: Waves and vibration in Meditation.

[Sirius]

I see the same questions pop up allot over the interwebs and I had trouble with this stuff before, I hope some of this helps. These are things I do.

Let's start with common issues: 

Issue 1: My mind is all over the place.

Yes that is normal and why whatever technique exits in the first place that you are following, your are following some technique right? You deal with this the same way you do with anxiety by acknowledging it is a thing that is happening. That is the first step in the process of stopping it from escalating.

The next step is getting back to business, acknowledge your mind wandered and focus back on breathing or whatever other process you are following. You also need to give your mind something to do. Visualizing a box that stray thoughts get sent into is currently working great for me. Problem solving might also help for you, give your mind something to do. The trick is to do it every time and every day. You will get better and better at it over time until it becomes automatic.

Exercise and getting out there in nature is also great. Hard exercise follow by focused relaxation always puts me on cloud 9.

So just relax it's all normal, do your little trick and get back to the program.

Issue 2: Itches

Verry much the same as the first issue. If it itches, scratch or slap it depending what critters are in your area. Don't overthink it. I have also heard it said this is a way for your brain to check if you are asleep.

The itches is actually a good sign. You are at the point where you can start doing basic control over energy. But you will never know until you get rid of that bug or hair that is tickling you.

The first itch guides me, if it's nothing then the others becomes points of energy that I can dissipate and play with. How did I get here? With practice, explorer the itches, figure out what is real or not. You have to recognize at this point that your well on your way into a altered state of conciseness.

So just relax it's all normal, do your little trick and get back to the program.

Issue 3: Wrong expectations or losing the state.

Not every session will be profound and you can actually drop in and out of many states of consciousness during a session. You can scratch your nose and get back to your previous state by just following your method in a couple of seconds. You are following some technique right?

Just relax it's all normal, do your little trick and get back to the program.


issue 4: the preamble is looking longer the guide I imagined, brb with the actual guide, just going with the flow at present, who knows where this goes.

Vibrations into waves.

We have to tame the mind that constantly wanders and so we have to give it something to do. We give it something to do in incremental steps becasue it will wonder.

Preparation.

Learn about hemi-sync, 
It works not much to say about it. Listen to the bi-neural sounds it will save you allot of time and you basically don't have to do anything other than listen.

OR

Alternate your drawing hand and focus on sensations in your body, mind and mood and relax, don't overthink it. Make the best drawing you can in the moment, draw the other hand. Alternate hands. Take your time.  You can remember this feeling and alternate going from one hemisphere to the other or combine them.
 
I learned this technique from an old witch, one of many I met through the years. She was teaching me art, drawing and other creative skills that I am grateful for.


Hyper fixation

Intense focus comes from extreme relaxation and I like that contradiction. We need to trick the wondering mind into paying attention long enough to construct reality.

Get into a comfortable position that you can maintain for at least 40min or where it will not be an issue if you sleep. Mentally and physically prepare yourself for a journey. That means taking a breath and saying "I'm doing this now for an extended period", scratching itches and adjusting socks.

This is the start, you just gave your mind a couple of easy tasks to perform.  Just relax and go with the flow.

Now start breathing in through your nose and out of your mouth, calmly, pause when your lungs are full and also empty. To occupy the mind, visualize breathing in clean energy and converting it in the body. Breath out the used up energy. Breathing in O2, blowing out CO2, real energy conversion not mystical. Relax and don't overthink stuff.

Don't do this long or you will fall asleep or get bored, 5min is stretching it. When it feels good you are good.

Everything is done with a purpose and we also start focusing on natural energy waves and cycles here. Your breathing and heart-beats are waves of motion, a natural rhythm. When you hold your breath your heart gets constricted and has to pump faster. When you breath out there is more space and it can beat slower. Pay attention to these cycles.

Your mind will wonder, just relax it's all normal and focus on the breathing and the natural cycle. Breathing in the through the nose and out the mouth is to get your diaphragm moving, you also release tension in your face and notably the tongue.

Breath in and out, feel the energy expanding through your body and leaving again. We are also going to start going into mystical aspects. Just relax and go with the flow, it's one of the tricks. We need to disassociate the perception of normal movement in the mind and attach it to something else, something in-between real and completely other.

Feel the energy coming in through the soles of your feet when you breath in going up into your head. Breath it out.

Physical transformation

There is a little homunculus running the physical show and we need to deal with it.  The itches is actually their tickles. I told you this was a journey, but it is actually a quest.



The award for defeating this mighty foe is vibrational energy and also where some of the hard work is.

Tense and relax every muscle group one at a time. Start with one foot, tense and relax. Feel the sensation, do the other foot. Move up to calves, then upper leg. Lower body, stomach, back, upper body. Arms, hands, neck, face and head.

You must do all of it and pause and pay attention to the sensation. The mind will wonder, this is normal.  Focus back on the exercise. Relax, take as long or move as quickly as you want to.

Why go through all this trouble? Because the mind wonders, one of the things it does while wondering about is take stock of the limits of reality as perceived by the senses. Following the processes allows the wondering mind to reconstruct the homunculus in steps.

It also prevents the body from getting tired.

You need to do this in conjunction with the breathing exercise.  All of this is here to keep your mind busy and have something to do when it starts to wonder.

You should have the tingles at this point and feel vibrational energy, can be mild or wild.

This is also the point where you can stop or turn back.

Flow

More hard work I'm afraid to say. The vibrational state is basically the jitters. Something chattering about without shape or form. Static on a old TV set. Now we will tune it.



"Go to the ocean and float and roll in the waves".  We start with an impossibility and train new perception.

Start small, just you and water and slowly add more details. Imagine you are floating in an ocean.

Maintain focus and remember the other practices. Remember to breathe and breathe energy. Gently roll in the waves and absorb energy. The goal is to gently roll relax and recharge, that is it. Aim for 15min.

If it is day, it is day. If it is night, what is the cycle of the moon. Make it detailed. The ocean under you is an abyss with leviathans circling, but you float serenely and perceive. Where you float is a liminal space, not in the ocean, not in the air not in the land.  The leviathans are just dwellers in the abyss.  You are floating on the waves where the energy is exchanged. 

Energy exchange

Relax your muscle groups again. Breath in energy. Be comfortable. Look down at your feet and breathe in energy and slowly pull it up through your whole body into your head. First in three or four breaths, then on each one. Relax a bit and just feel good in this process. Follow where you breath goes you gently blow it out and it flows.

Very specifically relax in order your jaw, then eye lids, lips, forehead, tongue, eyes then cheeks and neck. This is an up down motion. Another wave, another cycle like all the other exercises. Remember the ocean. Waves will start going through face the moment your cheeks relaxed.

Channel the waves inwards. Two waves will start centered on your nose spreading out around your face, wrap this inwards in send it down into your body.  Remember the ocean. Let it roll around in your body all the way from your feet, feel the waves sloshing around.

Do all in order.

[Sirius]

That should be good enough to get you places and have a fun experience. The wondering mind is the trick, your doing things in a loop and eventually your brain starts replaying previous experiences superimposing it over the top.  This happens just before you fall asleep.

All the rolling and wave motions is going to sync up with your breathing at some point. Don't think about it or, it doesn't really matter. It will happen if you just follow the instructions.
