Ecstatic Meditation™

Prior to attending a 21 day silent meditation retreat, I thought that meditation was just a way of deeply relaxing the body, while getting the mind to slow down. Relaxing is a necessary component of meditating. But it isn't the goal. Meditation actually happens beyond the mind and body, though both must cooperate to allow a true meditative state to be reached. It has been described in many ways, as an opening of the heart and awareness, a waking up to who you really are consciousness, bliss, immersion and total love and peace and illuminating of your true self, and a recognition that there is no separation between you and God, or source energy. In this meditation, you will express empty experience and embody. I have named this style of meditation, ecstatic meditation. This sequence came to me when I asked, How can I and others let go of the mind and the energy is trapped in the body, to be able to wake up, go deeper and receive more. When using this format for my own practice, I noticed that engaging physically prior to surrendering into a relaxed state allowed me to let go of any concerns or thoughts. release stored energy in the body facilitated going deeper, and made me more open to receiving may it have the same effect on you.

welcome, you are listening to the ecstatic meditation one guided by Lotus. Begin in a standing position. Take a moment to check in with yourself. Are you restless, wide awake? Tired, excited? numb? Is your body loose or tight? Do you feel pressure or pain anywhere? What is your state? Are you happy, annoyed, sad, grateful content. Become aware of how you feel in this moment. Now, decide how you want to feel at the end of this meditation. When the music begins, move your body in rhythm with the pace of the sound. The music will start off slowly and build an energy and intensity throughout the 20 minutes. Allowing yourself to really let go and move into the music will give you the greatest benefits. If you have enough space, close your eyes as you move. This facilitates a deeper going inward. If not, keep your eyes soft. Not focusing on anything in particular. Let's begin
