Becoming Morya

In the same way that an athlete learns a new skill by watching a seasoned athlete perform a particular activity, so too can a meditator develop and sustain neuronal memory by reading about or observing the processes of a seasoned meditator.The physical body’s physical, social, and mental skills can all develop easily and efficiently by observing or joining the proper practice of another.As a brief reminder of what is discussed more thoroughly in books one (Advanced Meditating for Healing), two (The Ascending Mind of the Prophet), and three (The Awakened Self), grounding meditation allows us to gently let go of the built-up electrical energy in our bodies and tune into a deeper sense of peace and purity. When love and compassion fill our hearts and move through us, they help heal and refresh not just our state of mind but also our organs. Just like starting a new workout, those first several minutes (26 minutes in our case) of meditation can feel a bit tough as your body and mind adjust, but if you stick with it, you’ll find yourself flowing in harmony and feeling more relaxed and centered. Instead of clinging to knowledge or perfect forms, you are invited to embrace compassion, kindness, and love-qualities that truly bring comfort, wisdom, and healing.During grounding meditation, grounding your energy into the earth releases attachments, obsessions, and emotions that can create blockages or physical imbalances. Sitting up straight and removing what might block your energy flow, like jewelry, can make this process smoother. Sometimes, a simple step like placing a container of salt under you can help draw out stagnant energy, especially if you’re indoors and can’t feel the earth as well. Whether you’re meditating for your own healing or supporting someone else, the key is to relax into your body’s and the universe’s natural flow. With time and practice, you will find yourself connected to a larger sense of harmony and support beyond the physical world. Grounding meditation is about surrendering to compassion and allowing yourself to heal from the outside in (rather than attempting to heal from the inside out).This journal covers meditation from the 26-minute to the 75-minute mark for 100 consecutive days.
