REGULAR STILLNESS / MEDITATION - Developing Neutral Observer Consciousness

I am often asked

‘‘Elina, how do I meditate - where do I start‘‘?

I personally started my journey with meditation in 2015 only to find that I had been meditating my whole life, without realizing it.

You see, we can use the myriads of guided meditations available out there, but I feel the truest and simplest path to tuning inwards is to just sit in stillness with yourself, close your eyes and focus on the breath.

Focus on the heart or gut/solar plexus (your core center).

Let your body rest easy and notice your rhythm.

Notice any thoughts coming up.

Redirect to stillness and re-focusing on the breath until the mind is truly still and there is only the awareness of the body/breath/presence.

That‘s it.

See how long you can hold that neutral, relaxed space and tune into the heart or other body part each time depending on the intention for your meditation.

In that void space you may begin to receive inspirations, answers to prayers or hints to things that need your attention for the purpose of healing (inner child, emotional pain, physical hiccups etc).

Practice observing what arises without projecting judgement on it.

Developing Neutral Observer Consciousness is an important pre-requisite for engaging in intuitive work (intuitive perception, pendulum dowsing etc).
