Shaktipat meditation will enliven your practice. Advancing through higher and higher levels quickly makes meditation come alive, keeps you interested and wanting to meditate more and more. Shaktipat meditation becomes joyful instead of being burdensome drudgery.
A strong Spiritual practice and a strong energy practice are best combined into one daily practice that grows until it consumes every waking and sleeping moment of your life. When you're able to remain in a state of Oneness with the energy fields and all living beings, every thought you have, every action you take, is exactly the right one. Shaktipat meditation can bring Oneness very quickly.
Listed below are the four major components of a successful practice.
Karma is what you bring with you to the practice. It's the sum of all the positive and negative energies you've accumulated.Empowerments come from your teachers (Shaktipat) and open your mind to successive levels of knowing.Spiritual connections to the Deities of your choice give you sources of power and inspiration.Daily practice keeps you growing.Teachers can help with cleansing negative karma and energies. They can give you Shaktipat empowerments. You must choose your Spiritual path and the Deities you want to connect with. Above all you MUST do your daily practice.
There are five types of practice that work very well.
1. Meditation
In meditation you simply sit quietly observing. The Buddha used this method to reach Enlightenment.
2. Chanting
Chanting focuses your mind on a Deity or energy associated with the chant. You can chant a mantra, a prayer, a name or a sound. As you chant, you may find your mind slipping very easily into a meditative state. Practitioners from all traditions use chanting successfully.
3. Energy work
You use your mind to observe and control subtle energy. Taoists, Yogis and Tibetan Buddhists use this method. It's very fast, but it can be dangerous.
4. Prayer
You enter into communion with the Deity of your choice, talking and listening. Many Muslim, Christian and Jewish practitioners have achieved Sainthood using prayer.
5. Contemplation
You sit quietly focused in the glory of God, a Saint or an icon. This is a favorite of Christian monks and nuns.
Your practice can be a combination of any of these methods. Which is unimportant. Doing it daily is extremely important.
Many New Age practitioners discard religion altogether as being dead or not working. They're left with an energy practice but no guiding light or structure. They're often confused and go from one teacher or practice to another without making much real progress. They easily fall prey to aliens or spirits channeling information that may not be completely beneficial.
The major Spiritual paths have all stood the test of time and have proven beneficial to generations of practitioners. You can be a Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist or a combination of these. It's not important which path you choose. The Universal Truths are the same in all, with only minor differences in beliefs and techniques.
What is important is recognizing that the core of every religion is Spiritual energy work. All of today's religions originated out of the teachings of powerful energy practitioners. Most religious followers either lose or never find a living energy connection to the Divine. They become ensnared in ritual, dogma and empty practices.
A strong daily energy practice focused on the Deity of your choice will keep you centered on your Spiritual path and growing daily.
Remedia's core practice is built around Buddhism, but she's strongly connected to a guru. She loves to walk into any church, temple or mosque she comes across to renew her connection to the Divine.
Richard practices an eclectic mix of Taoism, Tibetan Buddhism and Raja Yoga. He prefers to avoid religious buildings altogether. He connects best to the Divine in Nature.
Both Remedia and Richard incorporate practices from all religions into their work.
Whatever Spiritual path you choose, practice every day without fail. In the beginning we recommend at least thirty minutes morning and evening for this. You may be surprised to find yourself becoming no longer interested in activities like watching TV, surfing the internet, playing electronic games, talking needlessly, etc. With dedicated daily work, your practice will grow until it consumes every moment of your life, waking and sleeping.
When you reach this stage, miracles happen daily in your life and in the lives of all you touch.
