The concept of meditation has evolved over thousands of years. Many cultures from around the world share similarities and differences with the practice of meditation. For our group, we must focus on true enlightenment, willing to open our minds and soul, sacred prayers and lastly our relationship with the Gods. The act of meditating doesn’t have to be time consuming nor tedious work. A simple yoga mat, colored candle and quiet/safe environment will do just fine.

To start the practice one must lay on a comfortable position on their mat and face the direction of their choosing. Next light the candle and say a prayer or goal out loud. You can also burn certain herbs or incense if this meditation has a special purpose. Breathing is key for meditations. Three long and slow breaths will be sufficient. Breathing in and out will assist in clearing the mind and relaxing the soul. Finally, picture a clear crystal ball. Focus on that. Let everything else melt away and focus on a see-through ball. Focusing on one object will train your mind to block outer thoughts that aren’t important will retrain your mind on the art of concentration.

Blessed Be!
