When we mediate, we are raising the kundalini through focus, through concentration. There is a metaphysical astral process that's taking place.
The key to gazing is stopping thought. Gazing is a soft focus; you are touching something with your luminosity. If you could but look into the mountains you would see a diffuse glow.
Whatever you focus on, you become. That is the key line, you know. Meditation is the bow and concentration is the arrow.
In pranayama you don't worry about taking breaths, you focus on exhalation. If you exhale properly you will inhale. The more deeply you exhale the more deeply you will inhale.
By disciplining and training the mind to focus on one thing, we gain control of perception; we learn to grab it and put it someplace we want it to be.
Focus your attention on the center of your stomach, in the area of your naval. Feel that this is an area of tremendous strength.
The next step in meditation is not just to focus, but to stop thought completely without having to focus; you gain a tremendous amount of personal power.
The path is focus. The power of focus is absolutely essential. To stop all thoughts, you have to have tremendous power of focus.
Focus on this moment. Hold your hand and see what it feels like. Go look at some grass. Talk to a palm tree. Outrun a Ferrari. Experience life.
You must have tremendous power of focus to direct your life and not allow all these variant forces, different vibrations, to enter you.
There are thousands of lesser chakras. Chakras are doorways to other worlds. When you focus on them, you step into something else.
When you focus on a chakra, it's very easy to bring subtle physical energies into your consciousness.
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.
