*******************************************************************

The key to meditation is focusing on specific symbols.  The symbols are
the chakras.

When you focus on a chakra, it's very easy to bring subtle physical
energies into your consciousness.

Each of the seven chakras references different dimensional planes.  It
is a turnstile that leads us into different dimensions.

As the kundalini rises, the knowledge and powers of those dimensions
will begin to come to you.

In Buddhism we meditate.  We make our minds quiet by learning to focus
on the chakras, release internal energy that we call kundalini, and
bring ourselves into high states of consciousness.

By fully focusing your mind on your chakras, stilling your thoughts,
and increasing your kundalini flow, you can rise above your body
consciousness and unite your mind with the clear light of nirvana.

Start meditating with your eyes open, focusing as a warm-up, then focus
on a chakra, then just let go and merge.  Don't sit there and think or
move into sleepy states of awareness, but move into high-powered states
of attention.

Close the eyes, and focus on the third eye, the heart chakra, or the
navel center.  It is a good idea to alternate them.

For the first few years, it's most beneficial to meditate on the heart
chakra.  The heart chakra, called the anahata chakra in Sanskrit, is
located in the center of the chest, dead center. If you  focus there
you will feel a warm and tingling sensation.

The heart chakra is the central chakra; it is the best chakra to
meditate on for the first five or ten years of your meditative
practice.

The heart chakra is the chakra of love and purity.  Meditating on this
chakra each day will give  you humility, purity, and spiritual balance.

The heart chakra is located in the center of your chest.  Hold your
right or left hand out.  Now say "Me" and, as you do so, touch your
chest.  You will automatically touch your heart chakra.

Close your eyes and simply "feel" the spot your finger is touching.
Then, after a couple of minutes, let your hands down.  Continue to hold
your attention on the spot just as you did when your finger was there.

Sensations of peace, joy, and love will enter into you.  They will be
very subtle at first.  Then they will grow stronger.

After two or three sessions of meditating on your heart chakra, it will
no longer be necessary for you to physically touch your chest.  You
will sense the spot automatically.

Your heart chakra is not in your physical body.  It is in your subtle
physical body, but it comes in contact with your physical body in this
location.

Practice meditating on the heart chakra. This is only one of them, but
it's quite good for the first few years of your meditative practice.

Focus your awareness on the heart chakra.  As you do, you will feel
your consciousness shifting. You may feel different perceptions of
energy in different parts of your body.

As you focus your attention on the heart center, you will begin to feel
your thoughts slowing down. You'll begin to feel your mind becoming
calm and quiet.  They won't bother you.

Focus on the heart center and feel love.  There is a flower there, but
it's like a rose folded up. As you meditate, feel that the flower is
opening . Each time you open a set of petals you're going deeper into
eternal awareness.

Focus on the center of the chest, relax. Imagine a rose there.  Feel it
unfolding.  Let yourself go and ignore your thoughts.

Visualize a beautiful rose in the center of your chest.  Imagine a soft
reddish rose.  Imagine that the rose is completely folded up.
Visualize the first set of petals is gradually unfolding.

There is no end to the petals of the inner rose.  Continue to unfold
set after set of petals until you have completed your meditation
session.

To become balanced, meditate on the heart center in the center of the
chest.  There you will experience happiness, refinement, sensitivity,
beauty, laughter.

Power comes from the navel center.  If you meditate for an hour or so a
day and you focus on that sphere, you will release a tremendous power
that will enter your body.  We call it the chi.

I recommend, initially, if you are trying to increase your personal
power level, to meditate on the navel center, not the lower two.  Later
on in the enlightenment cycle, it is necessary to learn how to go out
and surf some bigger waves.

It is not advisable for persons who are in the early stages of
meditation to mediate on the two lower chakras. You will unleash powers
and forces that will throw you into very powerful altered state of
consciousness that might not be pleasant at all.

The unlocking of the kundalini, which occurs by meditating on the
first, second and third chakras, is the entrance into the planes of
power.  There can be very powerful releases of energy that can catch
you off guard until you have a better sense of what you are doing.

The navel center will bring the power of all three of the lower chakras
into your being, but with safety.

Focus your attention around the naval area, feel that spot.  Visualize
it.  Do whatever it takes.  When thoughts come in and out of your mind,
pay no attention.  You just stay right on that spot!

One doesn't actually meditate on the navel.  The chakra is located
about two or three inches below the navel, at that point there is an
energy access sphere in the middle of the body.

To become powerful, to develop will, meditate on the naval center.

If you are going to experience the ecstasy of enlightenment, it is not
just going to be a phrase.  You've got to work during meditation.  So
back to the navel center!

Move the kundalini from the solar plexus region into the heart center,
which purifies it and connects the two halves of you being.  Bring the
kundalini down again from the heart center to the navel center.

Enlightenment is to be outside the circle, the circle of death and
rebirth.  There is a circle inside you. If you meditate and focus on
your third eye, you will see a circle of light.

To become wise, meditate on the third eye, between the eyebrows and a
little bit above.  Focus on that spot, the Agni chakra.

Focus your attention on the center of your forehead.  Visualize that
there is a slow but steady swirl of white light there.  Visualize that
the white light above your forehead is slowly moving in a clockwise
direction.

Visualize the soft white light continuing to expand as it gently swirls
around, until it has filled the earth, the sky, the universe, and all
of infinity.

If meditate on the third eye and have headaches it means you are trying
to pull in too much power from the occult chakra.  The danger is
obsession.

You can take the kundalini from the crown center and bring it down.
You can bring it up or you can stabilize them both.  When you stop
breathing in meditation, the kundalini is stabilized.

The kundalini is raised or brought down.  It can be done in several
different ways, and as it moves to the different chakras or energy
centers in the subtle physical body, it endows one with various powers.

Focus your attention on the top of your neck.  Take that energy and
transmit it in two lines to your hands.  Then from the hands, bounce
that energy right back to the heart center and ground it.

What we are doing is taking an occult energy; it's amplifying in the
chakras and the hands.  Then we are neutralizing it and spreading it
through the being.

As the prana current and the kundalini and different energies begin to
move through you, you will feel yourself moving and rocking.  Keep the
body still, otherwise that energy will be lost as it expresses itself
through the physical.

Even if you are focusing on a chakra, you don't want to do that for the
whole period of meditation. There should be a point where you let go.
Settle down. Get off the train of thought for a while.
