Meditation
In order to learn how to meditate effectively, one needs to work on knowing oneself. This is the key to unfoldment of meditation practices. Meditation is our key to enlightenment within ourselves in my opinion. A main goal in learning meditation is to gain self-knowledge.
The two basic ingredients to be able to meditate effectively are centering and concentration skills. Without these two skills one will not develop or reap the benefits to meditation. I also want to point out that learning these two skills takes practice and lots of work. It isn't going to happen overnight. One needs to be patient and consistent with their meditation practices.
Meditation plays a key role in the development of mediumship and psychic phenomenon. One needs to know that psychic and mediumship development aren't the key to understanding basic meditation skills. It is possible that paying attention to such psychic occurrences, while meditating, can distract a person from the real goal and benefit of meditation.
I remember when I first started my development as a student medium. We began each circle with creative visualization practices in which we were to envision a rose. We were asked to picture a rose and turn it upside down, on its side, and so forth. This was done for concentration and centering skills. I can remember thinking, "God, why cant we just jump into exchanging messages?" My mentor would say, "please be patient. It will come." This was something I struggled with growing up. I wanted everything now! How American is that.
Anyway, looking back, I now know the importance of the basics to meditation. I personally feel that one can't advance in meditation when one is too busy trying to communicate with spirit at the same time. One can't enjoy the benefits of meditation if one is preoccupied. One thing at a time.
