Fountain Meditation: In this method of meditation you must be sitting in an upright position comfortably. You are to imagine that there is a waterfall flowing within you, circling around your body, starting at the top and falling down your right side and then back up the left side. I find that music is good to do this by as it helps create the calm and 'flowing' mood and atmosphere that you want for this. As you continue to do this you may feel your body becoming more lose and sometimes it may seem as though your head is stretching high above you neck as I have experienced before! Nothing to be worried about though, its just a possible sign that you are doing it correctly.
Ladder Meditation: This method brings you into a trance and so should not be dealt with lightly. This technique has your breathing take a big part in acheiving this trance state. You are to visualise yourself at the top of this incredibly tall ladder, surrounded by darkness so you can concentrate solely on the ladder. Some experts say its best to imagine yourself in total darkness unable to see anything and to only feel the ladder. This can be a lot more difficult though so to begin with I suggest you visualise the ladder lit up in the darkness. Now as you breathe in, you are to 'hold onto the ladder' and as you exhale you 'take a step down' the ladder. So every time you inhale you stay motionless and when you exhale you move down the ladder. As you do this you start to fall into a different state of consciousness, a trance and being in this state can make OBEs much easier ot achieve. |
