    As you can see, the question 'Who Am I?" is aquestion that comes up naturally to all humanbeings who, consciously or not, need to comparetheir true essence with their life which takes placeexternally.

    At some point it happened that I got inspired by incredible teachings. These are the teachings of Kriya Yoga, especially as they are exposed by the

    Great Master Paramhansa Yogananda.His voice, through his written words, resonatedinside me like a big, powerful bell. I was drawn tothese teachings like a bee on the honey.Everything made sense. I knew since then thatthrough meditation and these teachings I would be

    able to experience who I really am more and more. The understanding that human beings have adivine potential washed over me like a fall of divine joy. I was so enthusiastic about it, and I amstill now, since all that I have done has given mepermanent joy and peace.

    Through these pages I will explain the basics of true meditation and the secrets to live inpermanent attunement with Divine Spirit.Meditation will become an organic process withinyourself. It is my personal source of inspiration,

    and it gives me clarity out of a chaotic and non-directional world. It is not escaping, it is aboutseeing things clearly by not being dragged here andthere by whimsical circumstances.It is pure joy. This joy is higher than the joy felt by human beings when something goes well. It is a joy

    beyond expectation which is not containable in thelittle box of your mind. This joy always brings asense of super well-being and safety. I know thatthis is the true happiness everyone is looking for.

    Through meditation I have been able tounderstand that I am not alone as I always feel thepresence of God, Great Masters, Saints and Angels

    within me and around me.

    I know it can sound absurd to many of you rightnow but, for example, it is possible to have an Angel as a friend. Think about it. If you live in this world, in a specific city, your friends will be usually located there. However, if you live in your Spirit, it

    will come a time when you will have both friends

    in the physical and in the Spiritual world. If youdon't live in a physical location only, but you cancontact higher realms through the tool of meditation, it is quite possible that your ability tocommunicate will expand beyond the physical.Let's keep in our mind that for everyone isdifferent. For many years I did not haveastonishing results except for peace, joy and clarity upon my direction of life (which are incredibly good things to have nowadays). I have been asking myself if what I was doing had a real solid basis.

    My personal answer to this was: "OK, even if it'snot true, I know I will live happily, as a matter of fact this is giving me all the happiness andinspiration I want, even though I cannotunderstand how". After that, I started to see andremember all the obvious coincidences and little

    miracles that happened in my life and in that of others, soon I knew that my doubt was only my limited vision.

    Your vision will expand, give yourself a chance. The techniques are scientific and, when practicedregularly with the intention to come in reliablecontact the Highest Possible Truth, they will givetangible results. They cannot fail.

    I wish you the greatest Joy and the best results with this book. May the presence of God shinebright within you.

    MEDITATION:

    WHAT IT IS AND THE 8 ASPECTS OF GOD

    editation is not achieving a state which is faraway from your reality, but it is about

    establishing yourself in your true nature. It is thekey to come back to the true essence of yourself at

    will. Imagine having a doorway to happiness thatyou can pass at any time. Through meditation youcan pass that door and, by tasting inner joy moreand more, joy becomes permanent.Meditation is not a passive state, on the contrary, itis very dynamic. Better to say it's dynamic, pureawareness when all of your physical senses are

    directed inward, inside yourself, instead of outwardtowards the world. This inward flow brings you up,in contact with pure Joy and Love. Yes, it can alsobe defined as a conscious passivity at somebeginning stage, since there is some sort of passageto that state at times, but it's never complete

    passivity or absent mindedness.Meditation is deep absorption in God, in pureenergy, in divine light or in another aspect of God.

    There are eight aspects of God: Peace, Calmness,Sound, Light, Joy, Power, Love, and Wisdom.

    M

    Peace is the absence of all conflicts, whereeverything is at ease and at balance.Calmness is a more dynamic aspect, even thoughit could apparently seem similar to peace, it is intruth very different. In calmness there ismovement or some sort of action going on. Themovement I am talking about is a movement inconsciousness, in calmness we can clearly see and

    understand the cycles of life.Sound is the vibration of God which is Omni-pervading. It is everywhere, and it relates to alldifferent objects and forms in creation. Every sound we hear can trace us back to the InfiniteSource if we could listen deeply to its subtle

    resonances.Light is the true dynamic essence of all atoms of creation, all that is created and alive has a process

    within it which produces light. Light hasintelligence, and it's literally alive in itself, it isorganically related to the evolution of the Soul. Wecan see the Light as as soon as our mind becomesmore clear. Clarity of mind comes when we takeaway some of the veils that darken our sight of theDivine. The more we meditate, the more wepenetrate through these veils and get in touch with

    the Light. This Light is God made visible withinourselves reflected in us as well as in all creation. Then we have Joy , which is the eternal bliss thatliterally takes our breath away. This Joy is beyondduality (beyond the interchanging activity of opposite worldly phenomena like good and bad,

    13/66

    13

    day and night, etc... See the chapter "Point Zero:Non-Duality") and does not have repercussions.For example, after having had fun at night, the day after we usually experience a repercussion and feelexhausted. This does not happen with pure Joy,

    which is ever new and regenerating. It is the danceof life itself. This is the true happiness we are alllooking for.

    Power is an immense dynamic energy. When youexperience Power you feel that your will isconnected with the forces of nature and every oneof your single thoughts or intentions can causemassive consequences. Imagine the power thatGod needs to sustain the whole universe. When

    you get in touch with such Power start praying forthe good of all people. Anything you do when youact and think from this level has powerfulrepercussions and it comes back to you, thereforesend loving prayer and thoughts to all creation.

    This is an important point, because the experienceof power can be easily brought in the world of action after meditation. However, don't worry toomuch about it, just know that this fantastic anddivine Power is part of you by nature and, sooneror later, you will get in touch with it.

    The we come to Love . Love is the infinitesustaining presence that keeps us tied together.Love is the attracting force upon which weexercise amazing magnetism. This Love is purely unconditional and unselfish because it includeseveryone, everything, and it is everywhere. It is the

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    14/66

    14

    true abundance of all things. In what you love youhave your abundance. Don't look at who or whatyou love, just make a self-analysis upon yourself and see what that person or the object of your lovemeans to you. Look at what are the symbolsinvolved. The circumstances and people in ourlives are but symbols of our true inner condition.

    You already have the Keys in your life to perfectly

    understand whatever is needed to be understood.I always suggest to take what you love in your lifeand go deep into it until you find the truth of it,and you will have contacted the Source, Godbehind it. It can be anything, even the love forscience to a skeptical. When you get right to the

    center of what you love you get in touch with thegreater Intelligence behind it, its Wisdom. As you see, all the eight aspects are strictly related,one of them puts you in contact with another, andthen another. Another easy connection to make is,for example, that of Light with vibration, Sound.

    As a matter of fact, even colors have different ratesof vibration.

    Then we have Wisdom . Wisdom is the ability seethings clearly as they are, without filters of theintellect. It does not come from intellectual

    speculation, but it's a knowledge acquired throughintuition, which is direct perception of knowledge which comes through contact with the Source,God. It is this intuitive sparkle that usually generates a chain of creative and new realizationsin our minds until we get a conscious clear view

    15/66

    upon something. For Wisdom to be involved youjust need more and more acquaintance with whoyou are and your true divine nature as a son of God.

    In order to experience these aspects of God, whichare also aspects of your true nature, you need atechnique, and this is the meditation technique. To

    achieve your natural state of meditation,absorption in one or more of these aspects, youneed a meditation technique.

    You might ask: "if we are talking about my truenature, why do I need a technique to be who Iam?". Well, you might better ask yourself this

    question too: "if we are talking about my truenature and the happiness which is mine by my divine birthright, why am I not living it? Why my life is not the reflection of pure happiness?Furthermore, why there is always something missing?". You see, part of the truth of life and itsrules, is that we need to make the effort to live atour divine potential, this is the law of freewill andthe only real choice we are to make in this life is

    whether we would go toward darkness or towardthe light.

    Think about it, how many things do you do during the day that you know will have unpleasantconsequences or make your life stagnant? How many times do you try to escape from yourself by indulging in your old habits more and more, or by trying to avoid or manipulate them? How many

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    16/66

    16

    similar choices do you make that give to your heartanother opportunity to close down? By all thesechoices you are exercising your free will inchoosing to go toward darkness, even if it couldnot be your intention. Therefore, why notconsciously choose to go toward the light with thedirect intention of reestablishing yourself in yournoble and divine nature? Your genuine intention

    plus a scientific technique make your choice sopowerful that you cannot miss happiness. Sooneror later it will be manifest in your life and, at somepoint, it will not go away anymore.

    The technique of meditation is scientific, whichmeans that its result is guaranteed if you persist in

    it. And the best news is: it's easy.

    POINT ZERO: NON-DUALITY

    o realize and fully live by your true nature, youneed to break the inner and outer cycles that

    are making your life miserable or, in the best case,difficult.In this chapter we'll talk about something which isfundamental to our understanding of the cycles of life: duality.In this world everything is dual, meaning that

    everything has its opposite aspect: night and day,darkness and light, male and female, right and wrong, good and bad, like and dislike, sadness andhappiness, etc... In the manifested world, thesecycles alternate continuously and need theiropposites to find balance. Being stuck in one part

    of the cycle is adopting a strong point of view upon something, which has, of course, to do only

    with a personal perception of life.In our world we see and consider things throughthe eyes of duality. We either sit on one oppositeor the other, even though our placement doesn'tnecessarily need to be an extreme one. It is likehaving two opposite sides of a scale and every event, or anything, needs to have a locationbetween these two opposites in order to beunderstood by our mind. In other words, we need

    "life-cycle" in this case would stop. Yourexperience of this world as you have experienced itup to the present moment would have come to anend. A cycle would have come to and end.However, think about it, did the cycle of naturestop? No, it didn't, it goes on and on and so willyou. You would finish a cycle to enter a new one.Everything that has a cycle, like day and night, is

    about duality. Duality, with its opposite aspects of nature, is the "breath of creation" and this breathcannot be stopped.Until your mind and perceptions are caught induality you are bound to suffer, because you willnever have real control upon your life as well as

    yourself. You will have the feeling to be draggedfrom one side to another. One day happiness andthe next one sadness, and so forth.So, how can you stop this cycle and be free? Thisis where meditation comes in. But let's not rush,since everything is about to be explained here.

    You have duality within you, starting from all yourcontradictory thoughts and behaviors, to your own

    very breath. In order to be free from duality youneed to stop at the center of the scale, where you

    cannot run to another opposite anymore. This cansound easy, but its practice is more subtle than youcan probably imagine.

    To go from one opposite to the other, there is aneed to pass every single point of the line until itreaches the other opposite and, in all these points,

    21/66

    experience the direct consequences of that patternas its cyclic torture.

    Whatever happens in that moment does not createimbalance anymore in your life, because everything is seen from the light of perfect accomplishment,perfect balance and perfect truth. There are nolabels or classifications, there is only being andpure awareness.

    Night and day will continue their cycles, but youare not locked in the cycle because your perfectbalance cannot be affected, even though you canexperience night and day. Awareness of non-duality as perfect balance and perfectaccomplishment is what you are, and your nature

    now is in perfect harmony with one or moreaspects of God. The Key to be free from duality isin the breath. The breath is the tool we use to stopduality in a natural way.

    You need to remember, first of all, that your truenature is beyond the breath. You need to breathein order to bring oxygen to the blood so that it cancarry out its work of regenerating the cells of yourbody. However, you are much more than yourbody. As a matter of fact, during normal activity and even during sleep, you often forget about your

    body and find yourself lost in your thoughts andmind. Is your mind breathing? No. Does it needbreath to be active? No. Our breath is directly related to our experience of duality in this worldand, when it naturally finds perfect balance, weexperience our true nature.

    A monkey breathes very quickly, therefore it hasquite a nervous nature. It cannot stop breathing, itis caught up in the cycle. Its breathing doesn'tallow pauses to find space for centeredness, andthey perform everything in a rush. Some turtlesbreathe very slow and their movement is slow andcalculated. Their lives can be very long since theperception of time is widely expanded thanks to

    the slow pace of their breath. For this reason they might be a little closer to perceive eternity but,having no self-conscious awareness, they remaincaught up in the cycle.

    When our breath finds perfect balance we tap intoeternity. Through meditation this is possible and

    easy to do. It comes easily because eternalawareness is our nature. The true experience of God is there when we stopfighting with duality and join Him at the point

    where mother nature has left a door open to thePoint Zero, and that's the point where Herprimordial energy pushes the arrow of the scale inthe two opposite directions. Then we can say: "No,I can stop now, I don't need to fight in order tohopefully find balance through opposites anymore.I am here at the center, perfectly aware".

    Everything you have ever looked for is already there waiting for you to be taken, you can find it inthe eternity of that point called "Zero".

    RELAXING BODY, MIND AND

    SOUL

    he aim of the meditation technique is to bring

    your Consciousness in touch with the higher You in order to establish yourself in your truePower! But, before explaining in details thetechnique, it is really important to learn how torelax. If your body is tense, part of your energy isstill engaged with the body, or other material

    concerns, and is not free to gather inside at yourcenter in order to uncover your divine dimensionand feel the presence of God. Wherever there istension, there is a congestion of energy and thatcongestion is like a rock that obstructs the flow inthe river of life. These congestions are present notonly in the body, but in the mind and in the soultoo. A congestion in the mind is caused by recycling thought forms that limit your visions.

    Also, a dispersion of energy happens when yourthoughts travel in random directions without

    having a firm focus on any point. A congestion inthe soul is caused by chronic ignorance of yourown true nature and of the existence of God. Thepower of your energy cannot fully flow in your"divine river" because there are obstructions.Hence the need for relaxation. When you

    T

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    24/66

    24

    successfully relax, you soften all obstacles in yourbody-mind-soul system, making your natureprevail.

    HOW TO RELAX THE BODY The easiest, quickest and most effective way torelax the body completely is to breathe in deeply through the nose while tensing the whole body. As

    you inhale, the overall tension must be increasedgradually: low, medium and high. When your body is completely tensed, hold the breath and thetension as you start vibrating with your whole body and feel energy spreading all over every part of it.

    After a few seconds, exhale through the mouth

    relaxing all your body parts and decreasing thetension gradually: high, medium and low.Breathe in while increasing the tension in all partsof your body: low, medium and high tension. Thenhold the tension and the breath at the same time,feel the energy pervading all of your being and

    vibrate. Finally exhale releasing the tensiongradually: from high, to medium, to low. Thiscompletes one round. Repeat this process from 3to 6 times, then relax completely. The emphasis of your attention should be especially on the feeling

    of relaxation.

    RELAXING BODY, EMOTIONS AND MIND When I do this exercise I think that each roundexpands my relaxation. During the first round, my

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    25/66

    25

    body relaxes completely. During the second round,the awareness of my relaxation expands from my physical body to my emotions and thoughts. Ienvision my emotions and thoughts as a secondenergetic body around my physical one. During thethird round, my awareness of relaxation expandsfurther from my body, emotions and thoughts tothe Higher Consciousness reflected in me, as I

    have it present in all the Universe. If I practice theexercise 6 times I dedicate 2 rounds for eachsection. This relaxation exercise, along with theexpansive intention described above, is incredibly powerful and positive results can be immediately sensed.

    THE DOUBLE BREATH To have better results with this exercise you canmake use of an important aid called the "doublebreath". This kind of breath applies to theinhalation as well as the exhalation. It consists ininhaling twice through the nose and exhaling twicethrough the mouth. The first inhalation is really short and sharp, immediately followed by thesecond inhalation which is deep and long. So it is

    with the exhalation: the first one is really short,

    immediately followed by a long and complete one.During the exhalation the sound of "AH" shouldbe produced with the breath (and not with the

    vocal cords). It should sound like "Ah-AAhhhh",first short and sharp, second long and complete.

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    26/66

    26

    The double breath increases the power and theefficiency of the technique, and it should be usedfrom the very first days. You might practice withthe normal breath at first and then add the doublebreath as soon as possible. The double breath is afundamental part of the relaxation technique and itis usually taught right away in the classes. But,since you are reading a book, you might need to

    take one step at a time.RELAXATION OF EACH BODY PARTNow you can continue to relax your whole body by checking every body part. Start from the feetand scan every single part of your body while

    chanting Aum (many people write Om instead of Aum) 3 times in every part. Aum is the cosmicsound which is at the basis of all creation. Thisbeautiful, rejuvenating sound can be heard whenmeditation is deep enough. It is OK to relax thebody parts in couples, since the human body issymmetric. The body parts are: feet, calves, thighs,buttocks, lower abdomen, middle abdomen, chest,back (divided in three parts: lower, middle andupper back), hands, arms, forearms, neck (dividedin four parts: front, back, left and right), face and

    head.Chant Aum 3 times at any of these body parts (orcouples) as you go through them with yourawareness, feeling a sense of super-divinerelaxation pervading your whole being. If you wishto relax every single part of the body separately,

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    27/66

    27

    then start with the right side and then go to theleft: right foot, left foot, etc...

    AUTOSUGGESTION You can use autosuggestion as you go through thescanning of your body, and don't worry if youdon't remember all the body parts, just start fromyour feet and go up until you end up with your

    head, and you'll be fine. To use auto-suggestion is easy: when you are at abody part, for example your feet, mentally say: "Irelax my feet, I relax my feet, my feet are relaxed".Continue to do so at every part of your body. Thenproceed to relax your internal organs: kidneys,

    liver, intestine, pancreas, heart and brain (or any other part you can think of). It is important to notethat autosuggestion is the only way through which

    we can relax our internal organs. Of course we canalso do it through meditation itself, or by yogapostures, and the tense and release exercise is really

    valuable for this. Through autosuggestion, anyway, we act internally by giving a command through our will power. We just express the intention to relaxcompletely until it happens.

    Through our intention and will power we can tense

    and relax each muscle until we feel a rejuvenating energy flowing there. When this happens, we aregradually developing the great divine power of manifesting whatever we want in our lives. Let'sremember that these techniques, even thoughsimple, have been taught by Great Masters, and the

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    28/66

    28

    results are guaranteed if you continue to practicethem regularly and at the best of your abilities.

    Through autosuggestion you can relax your mindas well. Say to yourself: "I relax my mind, I relaxmy mind, my mind is completely relaxed" and, asyou do this, visualize a waveless lake at night upon

    which you can see a perfect and waveless reflectionof the moon. This visualization has a powerful

    calming effect on the mind. The waves of yourinner emotions and thoughts are stilled as youperfectly reflect the light of your inner self.

    Through these simple relaxation techniques, you will soon be able to relax at will, in any situation

    you may find yourself and, more important, you will be ready to meditate more deeply. Yourmeditation technique will give much greaterresults.Now we come to another important question: how can you relax your Soul?Meditation is the tool to use to achieve completeand perfect relaxation of the Soul. This kind of relaxation is possible only in perfect balance, andthis only happens when you relax in your divineSelf.

    Again, meditation is a joyful and scientific process.Start meditating with a loving intention, and you will find your heart shining with love and yourmind illuminated with uplifting wisdom.

    THE MEDITATION

    TECHNIQUE

    ow we come to the meditation technique.

    Through this technique you will strengthenyour mind incredibly. The power of yourconcentration will consistently improve and you

    will gain the ability to hold your attention uponanything.

    When your heart is directed toward God, you will

    hold Him in your consciousness so strongly thatyour divine Self will inevitably manifest. If youmeditate with the aspiration to manifest yourhigher and divine Truth you will achieve the bestresults.Love is a powerful key. If you feel great love forsomething (it could be anything: a person, yourjob, your ideals, your passions, etc...), and youmeditate with the intention to reveal the highest

    Truth behind of that which you love, you willtouch the divine source. The ray of that Love

    manifested into the object of your love; you aretracing back to the source.So, have a loving attitude as much as possible but,no matter what, meditate. You don't need to haveany idea of what is required or how it could be to

    N

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    30/66

    30

    trace back to the source. Just meditate and things will be revealed to you.Now, after having said that, meditate withoutexpectations! Just meditate to enjoy the process of getting in touch with yourself. No matter how much it can be scary at the beginning, it willeventually turn out to be a great experience, filled

    with joy and peace.

    After having practiced the relaxation techniques,finally relax in the right posture for meditation. Forsuch posture, two factors are essential:1) The spine straight and2) The muscles relaxed.

    If you sit on a chair don't lean on the back of it.Leave your spine free from any obstruction.Sit with your spine straight, feet parallel on thefloor. Relax your hands with your palms turnedupwards at the junction between your thighs andabdomen. Shoulder blades almost touch as they areturned back while you gently open your heart andchest to the sky. Your chin is parallel to the floor.

    You can also sit crossed legged if you like, but besure that your body is comfortable so that itsmuscles can be completely relaxed, and you can

    keep the spine straight for all the length of themeditation.

    THE TRINAGULAR BREATHNow you are ready to practice some easy breathing technique. Here you will be asked to hold the

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    31/66

    31

    breath at the point between the eyebrows. This is where your spiritual or single eye can be found. Itis the ajna chakra, as it is called in yoga. When thiseye is energized, spiritualized and open, you are indirect touch with higher guidance and wisdom.

    Through the Joy generated by consciousconnection with the single eye, you can see andknow the Truth upon the nature of anything as

    well as experience the higher you. This breathing exercise is called the "triangular breath", as it iscomposed of three phases of equal duration.Inhale through the nose for 12 counts, hold thebreath while focusing at the point between theeyebrows for 12 counts, and exhale through the

    nose counting 12. There is no holding of thebreath when your lungs are empty. This will causeyour whole system to have an increase of energy inthe most relaxed way. Repeat from 6 to 12 times.Breathe in and out through the nose only.You canchange the number of counts by making yourbreath shorter or longer according to your actuallungs capacity. This breathing technique is the firststage that teaches you how to direct all your energy towards the higher center of consciousness at will,physically located at the point between the

    eyebrows. THE SWITCHNow, inhale deeply through the nose and exhalethrough the mouth with a triple exhalation: "Ah-

    Ah- Ahhhh". Similarly to the double breath, the

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    32/66

    32

    first two exhalations are short and the last one islong and complete. This triple breath has a certainspiritual power and it works as a signal to start themeditation technique, it is a switch. After sometime you will find yourself drawn naturally in ameditative mood after having performed thisbreath.

    THE HONG SAU TECHNIQUEHere is the actual meditation technique. Take these3 steps to bring you to the full practice.1- Bring gently your awareness at the pointbetween the eyebrows with the next inhalation,and stay there as if you would want to penetrate

    this point deeply. Don't try to control the breathanymore, just focus deeply at that point. As you dothis, don't strain your eyes or put an effort, but doit naturally. Your one-pointed concentration is anatural process. When you become sure aboutholding this point as if you would want topenetrate it, go on to step 2.2- Start observing your breath coming in and outas it wants to. Don't control the breath at all, butlet it come in and out naturally while you observeit. When you are sure about the first two steps

    being active at the same time, proceed to step 3.3- It is time to add sounds to your practice. Whenthe breath comes naturally in, think mentally HONG (as in "song") and when the breath goesnaturally out think mentally SAU (as in "law"). Thebreath comes in and out on its own accord. Just

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    33/66

    33

    think these sounds. Don't do anything with yourtongue, throat or jaw, they're only mental sounds.

    This is what they mean: "I = Hong" and "He -Sau". The repetition of this sounds can betranslated like "I am He", or "I offer myself intoHe". He is intended to be God, your higher Self,your divine Being, or the highest Truth you cancome in contact with.

    By practicing this technique you will notice that, intime, the breath will become short and the pauses

    within one breath and the other will increase inlength. When this happens, relax and enjoy thosemoments of freedom. Through this technique we

    are balancing all our system as we are consistently reducing the swinging between the two oppositesof the scale. We come closer to the Point Zero, thepoint of perfect balance beyond duality. Breath isnot life, but it is necessary to our physical body tobring oxygen to the blood. During this meditationtechnique we learn how to bring purifying energy to our physical system and shift our consciousnessfrom the limitations of the body to the limitlessSoul. Don't force yourself into a state of non-breathing. It needs to come naturally as it is not a

    self-induced state, but a natural and divine way of living as pure being. Just relax and enjoy thetechnique.Meditate as long as it remains a joyful process, try not to overcome the limit of what you can bear atthe present time. If you are really comfortable in it,

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    34/66

    34

    then you can meditate for a long time. Usually weall know our limits, we feel them. If you know thatmeditating even one minute longer will make younervous, then stop before, right at the moment

    when it is still joyful. Start with short periods andlet the length of your meditation increase naturally as your joy increases.

    After you have meditated for some time (let's say ten or fifteen minutes for the beginner), end thepractice in the same way you started it: with thetriple breath . Inhale deeply through the nose andexhale through the mouth: "Ah-Ah- Ahhhh".Now, remain still without breath (with your lungs

    empty, also known as "empty chalice") and focusyour attention deeply at the point between theeyebrows for as long as you comfortably can.Repeat this process twice more (3 in total). It isimportant to hold your attention at the pointbetween the eyebrows at this moment, so that yourawareness can be lifted up there after the practice;the seat of your higher consciousness, true wisdomand great joy.

    At this time you can forget about all techniques.

    Gently focus at the point between the eyebrowsand relax completely. Remain in silence and enjoy the after- effects of meditation from five to tenminutes approximately. This moment, whichcomes right after the practice of the technique, isreally important. After having prepared yourself

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    35/66

    35

    through the meditation technique, this is when youcan deeply experience divine Love, Peace and Joy.

    At this moment, your chance to enter a deepmeditative experience is high, and you can findyourself absorbed in one of the eight aspects of God. Surrender yourself to this magical moment.Not holding on to the after- effects of the practiceis like cooking a delicious meal and then throw it

    away. Relax more and more in the Peace thatcomes after the technique. This is also a right time to express your own loveand offer it to God. Through the deep Calmnessof your mind you can feel His response moreeasily. You can also ask questions upon something

    and receive the answers. Deep Calmness makes allanswers possible to be heard. In this momenteverything becomes clear and Wisdom manifests.

    After having enjoyed the after- effects of meditation, it is the right time to send somepositive prayer or thoughts to the world, tosomeone you love, to someone in need or to adifficult situation that requires to be turned into apositive experience. By sharing your blessings withothers, you are blessed more and more.

    Finally, come back to your daily life putting intoaction all that you have received throughmeditation. All the guidance and clarification thatyou now have can be knowingly applied in youreveryday life. I have personally experienced that

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    36/66

    36

    this is something that requires a lot of couragesometimes. Be courageous! You will see that youcan bring positive changes in your life if you putinto practice the suggestions that you havereceived in meditation.May you be blessed.

    MAGNETIC ADVISES

    f you want to have even greater results fromyour practice, you can also get some further

    advice from the ancient sages.

    Sit facing east, or north. There are some certainspiritual magnetic currents that come, especially from the east. I am not referring to easterncountries, but the direction or, if you prefer, that

    specific polarity. These subtle magnetic energiesare in constant movement and they help you toraise your consciousness. The sun rises from theeast. Once I was extremely tired after a long andexhausting trip, but I made it a point to wake upearly to meditate. Even if I couldn't sleep more

    than 2 hours, I woke up and started to meditatefacing east. As the sun started to rise, I wasenergized as never before. My body was so tired tothe point that it couldn't hold any tension and, atthe same time, I was there awake and ready formeditation. I was open enough to let that immenseenergy come and operate within me. The sunriseenergy, coming from the east, uplifted my being insome divine way.

    Another instruction the sages gave is to cover yourmeditation chair with a woolen blanket. This will

    keep you insulated from other certain magnetic

    I

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    38/66

    38

    energies that are binding you to the earth. We arenot talking about gravity but of a subtle force thatpushes your energy downward instead of letting itflow upward in joyful upliftment. This blanketshould be placed under your feet, and cover yourmeditation chair completely, including the back.

    There are certain hours which are considered to bebetter for the practice of meditation. The best

    times are early in the morning when the sun rises(as previously explained), in the evening when thesun dawns, at midday and at midnight. At thesemoments there is something shifting in theatmosphere, and it is easier for he who meditatesto transcend duality and get to the Point Zero.

    These specific shifting times are comparable to theinstant when the arrow of the scale shifts from thePoint Zero in order to move onto the oppositeside of the scale. The mind can be easily by-passed,and it is possible to experience transcendence.

    Also, your meditation is supported if practicedalways at the same time, whatever time it is. After a

    while, you will feel yourself drawn to a meditativestate as that time comes.

    If none of these further advises can be applied,

    then just meditate anywhere at any time. Better tolook for a place where you know you are not going to be disturbed. However, it is important togradually develop an intimate relationship withyour practice so that it can be done at any moment. If you start believing that you can't

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    39/66

    39

    meditate because it's not sunrise and you don'thave a woolen blanket, then you will nevermeditate. If you can apply these advises every timeyou meditate, much better, but if you can't, know that you can realize your true nature with or

    without a blanket! You are "You" all the time,everywhere, in all circumstances and at any time.

    HOW TO HELP SPIRIT TO

    HEAL

    et's talk about how you can use meditation for

    spiritual healing.If we understand our emotions and ideas asenergies, or as energy based, we can helpemotional healing by increasing our intake of positive energy. In this way, we replace an oldenergetic pattern that doesn't serve us anymore

    and is creating blocks. The medulla oblongata is the main point through which the energy enters in our system. It is locatedat the junction of the neck with the skull in theback of the head. The Great Master Paramhansa

    Yogananda used to say that this point is "themouth of God" Jesus talked about in the New

    Testament.. At the time of conception, in themother's womb, the human body begins to takeform starting from this point. This point is theentrance of the primordial universal energy, and we

    can learn to make use of it consciously in order tofill our body with power. Just think to open "the mouth of God" by imagining a real mouth opening at that point, oryou may visualize a ring of light expanding. As youdo this, relax your throat and breathe in. Feel the

    L

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    41/66

    41

    energy running down your spine. Breathe in andout several times and feel your body filled withuniversal force always more. As you continue, theenergy expands up to your brain and all aroundyou. Now you are in touch with a part of yourself that you are usually not aware of. Be respectful andloving toward who you are.Now, gently, think of the kind of energy you need

    to attract so that you can fill yourself with it. Itcould be love, joy, enthusiasm, peace, or any otherof the eight aspects of God. Try to be clear about

    what you want to replace with this new positiveenergy. For example, you may want to replacesadness with joy. If you want to change a negative

    emotional state, it is good to choose the oppositepositive. But, most important, replace the negative with something that inspires you.I love to refer to the Saint Francis prayer when Ipractice healing, either for me or for someone else.

    When I do it for someone else, the techniquedoesn't change at all, but all the healing is directedtoward the specific person. I just keep that personin my mind's eye (or single eye, the point betweenthe eyebrows) and practice the technique

    visualizing, thinking and feeling that that person is

    receiving the benefits of this practice. There is noneed to put excessive efforts in this practice, butjust to relax with awareness in the accomplishmentof the healing.

    After I feel myself filled with this energy, I decide whether to use the sounds HONG SAU or not.

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    42/66

    42

    The transference of the breath is the transferenceof vital energy. The technique works very well aftermeditation because our system is completely recharged in the most positive way, but it can bedone at any moment.Here is the Saint Francis prayer. Every time I haveused this prayer, alone or with the healing technique, great joy and peace have manifested.

    Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;where there is hatred, I may bring love;where there is injury, I may bringforgiveness;

    where there is discord, I may bringharmony;where there is doubt, I may bring faith;where there is error, I may bring truth;where there is despair, I may bring hope;where there is sadness, I may bring joy;where there is darkness, I may bring light;Oh Divine Master,grant that I may not so much seek to becomforted as to comfort;to be understood, as to understand;to be loved, as to love;for it is in giving that one receives,it is by forgiving that one is forgiven,

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    43/66

    43

    it is by dying that one awakens to EternalLife.

    When I use this prayer for healing, my focus isalways on the positive: I focus on love when Ithink to replace hatred with love; I focus onharmony when I think to replace discord; and soon.

    I interpret "dying", at the last sentence, as theequivalent of going beyond duality, where youreternal divine nature can be perceived and fully lived. It is beyond death, but it is not necessarily referred to physical death but rather to the deathof the ego (that part of our soul-consciousnessidentified with our body and limitations).

    Your healing reference can expand beyond thismiraculous prayer. Follow your inspiration as youfind new positive words. If there is a sense of peaceful upliftment and expansion, follow that

    sense.Reciting this prayer for yourself and others, or forthe whole world, is a great blessing. It pays to try,it can be a transforming experience.

    YOGA HEALING TECHNIQUE

    Another healing technique includes prayer, visualization and the use of your hands. Visualize who you want to heal at the point between theeyebrows. Imagine him (or her) pervaded withdivine light, then offer a prayer to God: "DearGod, Thy divine light is omnipresent, and it is in

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    44/66

    44

    .... (say the name of the person), manifest Thy healing presence in his/her body, mind and soul".Now rub your hands around 20 times until youfeel the warmth pervading your palms and fingers,then place your hands in front of you, palmsdirected forward, as you would send energy outfrom them to the person you wish to heal. Sing "Aum" 3 times while visualizing the person filled

    with healing light at the point between theeyebrows. Remain silent, and continue to sendhealing energy to the person for as long as you feelit necessary. When you have finished, relax yourhands on your lap and remain with your eyesclosed, feeling the same blessings you sent out in

    the form of divine energy flowing through you andin you. What you have given out you are now receiving. Absorb these blessings with gratitudeand appreciation. If you need healing in some partsof your body, you can place your hands on thoseparts. The choice if to touch that part or not iscompletely up to you.

    You can make the starting prayer longer or go intospecific requests. Practicing this technique ingroups is very powerful, "when two or morepeople are gathered in my name, I am with them"

    said Jesus. We need to remember that when we talk about Jesus we refer to him as a Great Master, and thesame is for Buddha or Krishna. We are all reaching to the same divine nature which is the true being ineveryone, and it is manifested as everyone. God

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    45/66

    45

    didn't have preferences in creating one allaccomplishing Son in spite of all the others whoneed to sweat out every single minute of theirexistence in order to gain His favors. Jesus along

    with his divinity demonstrated a great humanity.He's the mirror of our pure potential. Thedifference between you and a great master like

    Jesus is that Jesus is awake in God and you are

    sleeping in your ego. Jesus himself prayed that wecould be one as he and his Father were one. Thismeans that he hoped we could all awaken in God.Buddha realized that oneness becomes obvious asone goes beyond duality. Every perception, at thatpoint, is realized as part of the greatest

    Consciousness, never separated from anything, butone with all. Jesus realized the same Truth when hesaid "Me and my Father are One". The belief somepeople have to be separated from God isnonsense, since nothing can have an independentnature out of God.

    This is the power that flows through you during these healing techniques, it is your own naturalpower as your awareness awakens in your truedivine nature.

    HIGHWAYS TO EXPANSION

    reat Masters have practiced meditation untilthe experience of oneness with all beings and

    universal forces has become permanent. The PointZero is lived as the true nature of man, withcomplete freedom to experience any reality withinthe whole range of the two opposites while having a perfect self-balanced awareness. The true humanpotential is to have flawless balance and harmony.

    Many of these Great Masters have decided to assistothers in realizing this oneness, and have taughtscientific methods through which one can increasegradually the experience of his own true Self.

    The Great Master Paramhansa Yoganandadescribes the experience of oneness through his

    poem " Samadhi" in his book "Autobiography of a Yogi". Samadhi is the highest, ecstatic state of union with God where man's consciousnessmerges with Universal Consciousness.

    Behind the words of this poem, there is the actualexperience of oneness with the universe and, by meditating upon it, it is easy to trace back to theSource of the experience. Take one sentence at atime and, exactly as you did with the healing technique, bring your attention to the sentence.

    Don't try to understand the meaning of the

    G

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    47/66

    47

    sentence intellectually. Let your natural divinebeing residing within you resonate with itintuitively. Firs read the sentence, then let yourself perceive the consciousness behind it as the energy flows in through the breathing process. Stay ateach sentence for as long as you like. You can evenmeditate on one sentence alone for all the durationof your practice.

    This poem is a portal toward a higherconsciousness and brings you in touch with thehighest Truth. It is the vehicle our consciousnessneeds to resonate with the Cosmos and reveal

    what is true. By resonating with the consciousnessbehind this poem, try to merge in the divine nature

    which gradually reveals as you go deeper. By attuning yourself more with this consciousness,your chances to experience the same onenessbecome much higher.

    Vanished the veils of light and shade,Lifted every vapor of sorrow,Sailed away all dawns of fleeting joy,Gone the dim sensory mirage.Love, hate, health, disease, life, death,Perished these false shadows on the screen ofduality.Waves of laughter, scyllas of sarcasm,melancholic whirlpools,Melting in the vast sea of bliss.The storm of maya stilled

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    48/66

    48

    By magic wand of intuition deep.The universe, forgotten dream, subconsciouslylurks,Ready to invade my newly-wakened memorydivine.I live without the cosmic shadow,But it is not, bereft of me;As the sea exists without the waves,But they breathe not without the sea.Dreams, wakings, states of deep turia sleep,Present, past, future, no more for me,But ever-present, all-flowing I, I, everywhere.Planets, stars, stardust, earth,Volcanic bursts of doomsday cataclysms,Creations molding furnace,Glaciers of silent x-rays, burning electron floods,Thoughts of all men, past, present, to come,Every blade of grass, myself, mankind,

    Each particle of universal dust,Anger, greed, good, bad, salvation, lust,I swallowed, transmuted allInto a vast ocean of blood of my own one Being!Smoldering joy, oft-puffed by meditation

    Blinding my tearful eyes,Burst into immortal flames of bliss,Consumed my tears, my frame, my all.Thou art I, I am Thou,Knowing, Knower, Known, as One!

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    49/66

    49

    Tranquilled, unbroken thrill, eternally living,ever-new peace!Enjoyable beyond imagination of expectancy,samadhi bliss!Not an unconscious stateOr mental chloroform without wilful return,Samadhi but extends my conscious realmBeyond limits of the mortal frameTo farthest boundary of eternityWhere I, the Cosmic Sea,Watch the little ego floating in Me.The sparrow, each grain of sand, fall not withoutMy sight.All space floats like an iceberg in My mental sea.Colossal Container, I, of all things made.By deeper, longer, thirsty, guru-givenmeditationComes this celestial samadhi.

    Mobile murmurs of atoms are heard,The dark earth, mountains, vales, lo! moltenliquid!Flowing seas change into vapors of nebulae!Aum blows upon vapors, opening wondrously

    their veils,Oceans stand revealed, shining electrons,Till, at last sound of the cosmic drum,Vanish the grosser lights into eternal raysOf all-pervading bliss.

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    50/66

    50

    From joy I came, for joy I live, in sacred joy Imelt.Ocean of mind, I drink all creations waves.Four veils of solid, liquid, vapor, light,Lift aright.Myself, in everything, enters the Great Myself.Gone forever, fitful, flickering shadows ofmortal memory.Spotless is my mental sky, below, ahead, andhigh above.Eternity and I, one united ray.A tiny bubble of laughter, IAm become the Sea of Mirth Itself.

    Again, allow me to repeat that the technique hereis the same as the healing technique, but instead of breathing in the positive energy that you need,allow yourself to breathe in the divineconsciousness behind these words.If, during the practice of the Hong Sau meditationit happens that you stop breathing naturally, justrelax in the Joy that comes through thatConsciousness, and so do as you meditate with thispoem.

    Remember! Keep all your meditation practicesintimate and personal. You need to establish adirect and personal contact with yourself and yourdivine Source. Don't waste energy making it agroup experience where everybody conforms tothe point that it becomes a dogma with no inner

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    51/66

    51

    experience. We need unity in the world, but notuniformity. You can meditate in groups of course,and it can be a powerful experience, but never letthe group take the upper hand upon your intimateperception of the divine. Sometimes spirituality hasbeen converted into a set of social and moral rulesthat little have to do with real understanding andexperience of God. When too many people are

    involved and discuss about how a spiritualexperience should be, this is at the expense of realspirituality which takes place in the individual.Beware!

    FURTHER STEPS TO

    EXPANSION

    here are different centers of consciousness

    within you, the information stored withinthem relates directly to how you see and perceivelife. Meditating upon their essence is a great aid inthe expansion of your consciousness. Thesecenters are well evolved in all human beings, andtheir usage can be almost limitless.

    HEART CENTER After the practice of the main meditationtechnique, focus on your heart and penetrate to itscenter until you can clearly perceive its essence andnature. Then feel that your heart is at one with allhearts. Dip into this more and more until youperceive that all your feelings, your essence, yourstruggles and your joy are at one with all heartseverywhere.

    ESSENCE OF MIND This technique is similar to the Heart Centertechnique, but this time the focus is on your mind.Maybe you want to bring your attention insideyour head if you need a physical location, but do itgently. Of course we are not focusing on the

    T

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    53/66

    53

    physical matter of our head but on theconsciousness held in our minds. Thinking as themind looking at itself can be helpful. Perceive theessence of your mind and expand this perceptionuntil you feel that your mind is united with allminds. Continue to do this until you feel that yourmind is at one with the mind and intelligence of the Universe, which includes all beings and

    everything in creation. After you have perceived this unity in your heartand mind, then you can proceed to the nextmeditation.

    EQUANIMITY OF HEARTS AND MINDSBy understanding (or by experiencing) that thesame Heart and the same Mind is in everyone,bring to your attention a person you love. Feelhow your heart and mind are the same as his, orhers. Then transfer your attention to someone youhate, or you just have had problems with, and feelagain your hearts and minds as the same. See thatthere is no difference. The same consciousness, thesame God is present in both of you.If this is still difficult to do, then bring back the

    person you love and merge yourself into the nicefeeling which is present in that relationship, thenlet go of the person you love and transfer thissame love to the other one. Repeat this processmany times until you feel that all hearts and minds

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    54/66

    54

    are equally blissful and filled with love. See God ineveryone.

    Continue to expand your consciousness in youreveryday living.

    SELF HELP THROUGH UNSELFIH HELPHelp yourself by helping someone else. Go out

    during your ordinary day and, by realizing that yourmind and heart are at one with everyone, actively help someone in any way you can. Since yourhearts and minds are united, you are actually helping yourself and at the same time expanding your being. You can anything you think necessary,

    but better do something that might relieve theirheart from worries and stress and make them relax. When the heart is completely relaxed we are closeto perceive divine Joy. As I said, think that you arereally helping yourself through that person. By doing this, a veil of separation between you andthe Universe breaks and fall down.

    THE ESSENCE OF LIGHT When you walk during the day, notice everything which is permeated with light. It can be the sun

    itself or its reflection on any surface. It can also beany other kind of light. Look at it for a few seconds (but don't look directly at the sun), thenclose your eyes and visualize that light at the pointbetween the eyebrows. If it's difficult to locate itthere, then just close your eyes and feel yourself

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    55/66

    55

    permeated with that light, get in touch with theessence. Start seeing Light as naturally present allaround and in you.

    ABSORPTION IN THE SOUNDSListen intently to the sounds around you, relax intothem until you see them as immediatemanifestations of the awareness of God. At this

    point unite your awareness with the sounds youcan perceive. These sounds are you, everything youcan perceive in your awareness is you. Don't makea story out of the sounds, there's no need to ask yourself where they are coming from or where they are going. Just be there in the immediate

    manifestation of the sounds and feel them as yourown awareness.

    THE NEW EXPANDED BEING After having perceived this awareness, do anything you need to do form this expanded perception of your being. Move, act, talk, walk with the bodies,actions, voices and feet of all. As you do this, offerevery action back to this higher Awareness, which

    is God within you and in everyone.Make these practices your daily habits. You cangive yourself all the time required to make eachtechnique establish deeply in yourself, and only atthat point proceed to the next one. No matter how

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    56/66

    56

    long it will take, it will be incredibly beneficial, andyou will start living by your true divine nature ineverything you do. Come back to any particulartechnique at any time you want to.

    You are now beginning to remember who you areand everything is making sense. You are already living a higher Life, and you are now of benefit tomankind. Joy to you!

    THE LIGHT OF LIFE ENERGY

    fter you have been practicing the Hong Saumeditation technique for some time, you are

    ready to practice the more advanced variation of Hong Sau in the spine. This will make yourmeditations more powerful, centered and deep.None of the techniques given in this book canhave negative repercussions or violent shifts inyour energy system. The variation added in this

    chapter is a refinement of the main Hong Sautechnique, and the reason it is taught later is not tooverload the reader with variations since thebeginning.

    HONG SAU IN THE SPINE

    The technique remains essentially the same, but we visualize pure light going up and down the spine. As you inhale and think HONG visualize, imagineor feel this pure, vital energy moving from thecoccyx to the point between the eyebrows. Thesame light-energy goes down the spine, from thepoint between the eyebrows to the coccyx, whenyou exhale and think SAU.

    Think and feel that you have an energetic spine incorrespondence with the physical spine. It goesstraight up from the coccyx to the medulla

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    58/66

    58

    oblongata, then it passes through the brain andfinally ends up at the point between the eyebrows.

    The energetic spine, also called the astral spine, isthe real river of life and enlightenment. This light isa powerful cleanser of all obstructions to theperception of your true nature. When theawareness of this life energy has been brought up

    permanently to the brain, there is enlightenment. When all the energy has been brought up to thepoint between the eyebrows (the spiritual eye )there is a door opening to Infinite Consciousness,your true origin and nature. This is a gradual,natural process, it is the establishment in the

    essence of your own true being.Between the coccyx and the spiritual eye, is presentevery aspect of your consciousness, the spiritualeye being the seat of your higher wisdom andintuition, and the coccyx being the seat of lowerlimitations, but also the center where divine lifeenergy starts to rise. Every aspect of ourpersonality and of our experience of life is presentin the river of life which flows from the coccyx tothe point between the eyebrows.By practicing Hong Sau in the spine, the life energy

    of the human being does not get dissipated or wasted in the outer world of duality, but it isbrought back into the center, the Point Zero, anddirected up through the brain to the point betweenthe eyebrows, where it is possible to unite with theHighest Wisdom.

  • 8/8/2019 2173000 the Golden Jewel

    59/66

    59

    The technique is so simple that it seems impossiblethat it is doing all this, but yes, it is doing it! Why should it be difficult? Living in your own truenature cannot be difficult, you already are that, youdon't have to become it. You just to be alwaysmore aware as you establish yourself in your divinenature.Practice this technique in the most natural possible

    way. Just know that this is happening and let ithappen. Observe it, don't be intellectually fussy onhow the energy is really moving, or if it is moving correctly. It just happens, that's all.

    VISUALIZATION You can also use the visualization of light-energy in the spine with other techniques.For example, the triangular breathing exercisepracticed at the beginning of each meditation canimprove if you think of the energy going up anddown along with the inhalation and exhalation. Asyou count mentally 12 during the inhalation think the energy rising up to the point between theeyebrows, then hold the energy there for 12 countsand let it descend again to the coccyx as you exhale

    for 12 counts. Through this technique you learn to direct your lifeenergy at will, so that it can be withdrawn at thecenter of your spine and brought up at the highercenters of your consciousness, where youexperience higher wisdom and enlightenment.

    IN RESONANCE WITH THE

    ASPECTS OF GOD

    long with the meditations for expansion

    described in the previous chapters, you canalso use the following suggestions to bring awareness of Spirit in your daily life, in all theactions you perform.

    We have talked about the 8 aspects of God: Peace,Calmness, Sound, Light, Joy, Power, Love and

    Wisdom. Anything you experience in this life, oryou want to experience, can be traced back to oneor more of these aspects. For example, an actormight be looking for the experience of Light,

    which he confuses with the thrilling feeling of being on stage, so that he can be appreciated andtherefore be loved, which is the equivalent of looking for the experience of Love. However, Ineed to emphasize that for everyone is different.Even for people who have similar life experiences,the true purpose of that experience can be very

    different. A business man might be looking forPower, so that he can feel safe and in control,therefore experience Peace.Now give a look at yourself. What is it in your lifethat you are doing? Whatever it might be, you arecertainly trying, consciously or not, to experience

    one or more of the 8 aspects of God. By doing some honest self-analysis on your life, which oneof those aspects are you trying to experience?

    The answer to this question brings you to theknowledge of your true temperament.Never think that your temperament is shown by the way you externally act in this life, or by thehabits you have. Your true temperament is your

    attempt to expand your consciousness through theaspect, or aspects, of God you are naturally drawnto.Once you have looked at yourself through thisangle, then start practicing the following techniquein your everyday life. With this method your true

    temperament can easily find resonance with theenergies of the Universe.

    RESONATING WITH THE UNIVERSEIf the aspect you are trying to experience in yourlife is Power, while you do whatever you are doing during your daily activities, send a simple thoughtto the Universe: "Divine Power". Then remainsilent for some time in an absorbing listening attitude. Then repeat it again, "Divine Power", andremain silent again, listening. Go on with this

    process, which is a way of communication with thehighest energies of the Universe. Through this technique you will develop the ability to express fully that kind of divine energy in yourlife.

    You can also think "Infinite Power" or "UniversalPower" if you wish. Feel free to make a personalchoice about the words that express that divinePower you would like to experience and melt with.Remember that your intention has to be to get tothe Source and to resonate with the highest Truthbehind that aspect, everything else can bring youinto a cycle which can make you feel lost, or upon

    which you can lose control. By using the word"Divine" you are sure to invoke only divineexperiences that can be of benefit for everyone

    who is involved.Obviously, you can use the same technique toinvoke the aspects of Love, Joy, Wisdom, or any

    other aspect you feel drawn to. In time, thistechnique will allow you to hold all your actions asa reflection of the Universal action, with so muchgreat energy involved to bear divine and abundantfruits wherever you turn. Light from Light, Lovefrom Love, Joy from Joy, Wisdom from Wisdom.

    Start by invoking that aspect that reveals your owntemperament, then expand your experience withthe other aspects. Send a natural thought to theUniverse and then remain silent. You will soon feel

    your being resonating with a higher reality, relaxinto that completely. You will see that you will bebuilding the castle of true happiness within you,the world around you will seem very different. You

    will see with new eyes and know with new wisdom.
