Meditate: Raja Yoga

If the mind becomes peaceful there will

be peace within and the world which we
live in, will become a better place. The
aim in our lives should be; to create
peace in the mind through the
understanding of the self being a soul or
a positive energy. The soul is the
energy that creates thoughts. With this
awareness, the individual can aspire to
sustain a flow of positive and peaceful
thoughts.

Meditate on your soul

I now withdraw my attention away from the world around me.........
My eyes are open and rested.............
I focus my thoughts energy on myself ....
I the being of light.........
Thoughts of the outside world gradually fade away as I feel a burden being lifted
from my mind.......
I see my physical on the screen of my mind ...
I realize that I am not my physical body, it is merely an instrument for the transport of
my soul.....
I am an eternal point of life positive energy....
This point of energy is the life force of the body......
In this state of awareness I become pure energy and consciousness........
Thoughts emerging on the screen of my mind are being viewed like watching a
movie on a picture screen......
I allow the negative thoughts to pass without being distracted by them .......
For I am an eternal radiant light ..
Shinning like a star in the midnight sky........
I concentrate my thoughts on this one aspect ...That I am a concentrated spark of
light ....
Radiating light and love to the world.......
As my thoughts concentrate I fill with power ....
I become light .....
floating......
I find deep peace within.

It is best to meditate on a daily basis.

Meditating every day will make the mind healthy, positive and prosperous.

Meditate on My Spiritual Home

In this meditation I focus my thought on that region which is called by such names as
"soul world", "world of light",

This world of pure spiritual light has been seen by many visionaries throughout the
ages.

When you meditate my third eye opens; and I see the world of light, as an infinite
expanse of very subtle golden-red light.
I am soul ....... so light In this body, I reside between the eyebrows in the middle of
the forehead ... concentrating now, I feel more and more powerful as I become light,

On the screen of my mind I begin to see a warm, golden-red glow.

My home ... it is the land of peace and silence. the land of tranquil light ... I bathe in
this glow. and once again fill with total peace ... I the soul, here in my home, rest in
purity.

I fly in this expanse of light, so free of tension ... I enjoy the sweet stillness.. and
when it is time to return to the awareness of my body, ... I comeback to this physical
world ... this drama stage ...

Meditate on becoming: The Spiritual Observer

I, the soul who is becoming filled with knowledge, cannot allow myself to be pulled by
the world any long er...

I feel a certain royalty returning to me now..

How pure I am!

Sit for a while in this powerful awareness

Visualizing God

Through mediation, I realize that I am an eternal point of light.

Then I can become aware of the one Supreme Soul, who is also of the same form -

High in my home now I am light. I have become filled with the power of peace.

Here there is consciousness, the soul, and there is a power, - the power of perfect
purity.. In this stillness I see on the screen of my mind the glow of the powerful
light ...

I reach with my thoughts ... And I find there is another one here ,,,, I feel I am being
pulled by a magnet ......... as I come close to this brilliant light I feel a warm wave of
love .........

I sit here suspended, floating, and I find that I the soul, have realized how close I can
come to God.

RAJA YOGA MEDITATION

Raja Yoga Meditation

Meditation, partly from the latin ‘mederi’ (to heal), has always been seen as a healer that
penetrates to the roots of the variety of elements of ‘dis-ease’ of the human being. Though not
guaranteeing any specific physiological or psychological disorder cures, the meditation of Raja
Yoga (the King of Yogas, or Royal Yoga through which one attains Self Sovereignty), has been
found to have whole health improvements.

The following two claims are not unusual.

American psychologist, Harold Streitfeld, had tried many types of meditation before commencing
with Raja Yoga meditation. Suffering from a debilitating heart condition, that restricted any uphill
walks to a snail’s pace, or often preventing any upstairs movement, Harold found a huge change.
After a few months, without the help of drugs, he was prancing upstairs and walking briskly
without gasping for breath, and he even danced to “I’m singing in the rain” on stage in front of an
audience of two thousand just to prove he was fit.

This was his condition for about five years until he eventually did die. The combined effect of
meditation, pure vegetarian diet and stress-reduced living probably all helped to heal and
lengthen his life span.

English bank clerk, Joan, contracted severe rheumatoid arthritis – her whole body was in such
pain that all she could do some days was to lie in bed. From having no control at all, she began to
discover occasional relief. Not only that, she found that pain was less depressive and discovered
a great deal of joy within herself despite the pain.

From being totally depressed and feeling hopeless, she has become a positive and benevolent
teacher of meditation, treating her own condition with often an automatic detachment. She is now
in her seventies and has travelled widely.

Raja Yoga meditation heals through a triple life-style shift, one being the proper use of mental
energies, two being diet, three being karmic or action based.

It’s a pleasantly spiritual approach that begins where thoughts start – in the soul. There are no
rituals, mantras, physical postures, chanting or gurus and is free of charge wherever you can find
a branch of the Brahma Kumaris WSU.

Considering our current consciousness and lifestyles to be unbalanced and not at all our normal
state, this is a meditation based on understanding, or on awareness, that aims to return the self to
the natural, higher and comfortable state of the self.

A foundation course of about seven sessions, one and a half hours each, takes you through
increasing steps of self-awareness, including self-knowledge, Supreme knowledge, karma
philosophy, natural time patterns, etc., upon which the meditation is based.

It begins with the question, “Who am I?” and answers it in such a simple yet powerfully energy-
shifting way, that instant results in the state of mind are the general rule.
One becomes relaxed instantly and students often report abilities to control negative traits, such
as anger and ill feeling even from the first lesson. It is these mental shifts that positively influence
the body condition, most of all.
