How Do You Meditate For Wisdom?

To meditate for wisdom, one must first meditate. The more the mind is clear and free of delusion, the more clear and opem the mind is to cultivate wisdom. For best practice for wisdom, Zen meditation is right for mediating on teachings for wisdom. The main practice is emptiness, and some visual.

To seek an answer for a question, seekers would first meditate on nothing, them ask the question in mind and wait for it to flow in as intuition. Visualizing on something helps. Like if one visualize on the teaching that Yin And Yang are undifferent, for they are same energy working differently, then one would see in mind these two in one. Then meditate on that even deeper. But the mind must be less delusional or free of delusion in order to cultivate wisdom.

The main practice in Zen meditation is cultivating a meditative state of mind, the cosmic mind, the true mind. This state of mind has connection to cosmic wisdom waiting to be tapped into. From within, and external.

As the mind evolves, the mind becomes more open and aware. Once one reaches this state, one can see visions, spirit journey, see true self,the sensory will be strong, and intution will be more stronger. All that can help cultivating wisdom. Even when one gets the answer one needs, meditate on it for clarity.

This book gives much knowledge to start with. It is full of stories and history, but also rich in knowledge of Tao. One also has to take time reading this book and meditating on it.


Stone Age Wisdom: The Healing Principles of Shamanism
by Tom Crockett

Although this is a New Age book, and the author is a Neoshaman, this book is rich with core teachings and practice of Shamanism. It is rich in knowledge of cosmic existence, oneness, and cosmic spirits.

The only problem with this book is the author stories, that seem to be something of written knowledge of earlier shamanism books before this. Other then that, it is a good book. But since it is of New Age, don't be too trusting of the teachings. Always seek other books that is more of spirituality and not New Age.

What Is The Helix Channeling In Yoga?

The Helix is shape, that shape is like that twisting shape how DNA looks. The is also known as central or inner pathway. It is also known at the pole. It could also be refer to as Caduceus Pathway. This pathway is what the Kundalini energy travels up or down in the body, and out through either the crown or base chakra, then flows around the body from up the back to crown, down front path way of body and back down to the base again.

There many be different names for this energy rod or pathway. As well, there may be different beliefs on where this trusting channel is located in the body. The common belief that this energy rod is located in the spine, since the spine is connected to head and body. The Helix channeling is connected to the crown chakra and base, since these chakras are connected, then it would make more sense that this channeling is directing in the center of the body, passing through the heart, lungs, intestines, and what ever organs in the center pathway. There is such teaching on this, buy many have their own beliefs. As for the real, telling that this is actually directly in the center means nothing here. In order to know, one has to journey in the body, which is even deeper meditating. But one can see what this pole looks like in deep meditating, for one will see within, but only when one cultivates a more higher level of mind.

Accepting what one reads from books, or from the teacher is not the way of seeking wisdom. Remember, books and people can not be trusted completely, for many tell false knowledge in beliefs and lies. The only way to know the real, is seek it by investigating for the real, experience for the real. To see this energy pathway or pole, is to see it for the self, and journey withing to know it's true location. Other wise, one is giving into belief. Which is not they way of true Wisdom Seekers.

What Is The Boogieman?

The myths of the boogieman again, can be traced back to tribal times, and into paganism. As to any truth to any of this stories? The boogieman was known to be not human, much were monsters. Depending on the culture, there be different beings. As to such being spirits? There is a possibility, since spirits are shape-shifters.

In the US, the most common boogieman is what many call Shadow People. Advance seekers call them shadow beings, which are dark spirits. Keep in mind that there are different levels of dark spirits, these beings are more of mid level. Higher level ones can shape shift.

What Are Spirit Attachments?

This knowledge can be found in Shamanism, as well some teaching in Taoism. Spirit attachments are spirits attached to a person or an object. The attachment can be internal or external. Meaning spirits may be living in the body or outside the body.

One might find this knowledge hard to be real, but this is knowledge that not just has to be meditated on, but experienced.

From the teachings, spirits can invade the body by accident or on purpose. They can be of departed spirits or none earthly spirits. They can cause energy blocks, illness, even influence the person.

External can do the same, except for creating energy blocks that internal attachments can. The external can drain one from outside, which effects the health and energy level of body. Depending on the spirit?

How do these spirits invade the body? Through one of countless energy gates or chakras. Which remeber, are connected to and what make up the energy feild. Then how does one get rid of these spirits? One can find some old shaman teachings of new age type psycholoist who practice spirit releasements. But one will find Qigong is very effective of removing and keeping out such spirits.

Is There Any Truth To Chakra Alignment?

No, this is more of a belief. Chakras are connected to another chakra, which is one whirling energy gate. Like the crown chakra is connected to the base chakra. The left ear chakra is connected to the right ear chakra. The chakra of the sexual organ would be connected to the chakra of the tail bone. Just as a cheek chakra may be connected to a chakra one one side of the back of the head. There is no complete control of thees whirlpool like spinning energies. But with energy healing messages, these chakras can be better balanced.

Do not let belief be misleading, always meditate for the real, and investigate for the real.
