POWERING UP MEDITATION - WHAT IS SITTING IN THE POWER & HOW CAN I DO IT? SEE GUIDENCE VIDEOS BY JASON GOLDSWORTHY

Sitting in the power is a spiritual practice of merging with higher energy. "It involves connecting with the light within [our soul energy], and merging it with the light outside of us. By doing so, we create a bridge between our physical reality and the higher realms where discarnate spirits and other light energy beings reside" [1]

ACTIVE VS PASSIVE MEDIATATION

• Active Meditation involves the purposeful engagement (or movement) of our entire mind and body. This can include: a specific focus, walking or chanting. whereas, 
  
• Passive Meditation incorporates attaining a quiet still focus centering on: the breath, a mantra, or other single object. "In general, it involves focusing the mind to train attention and awareness, often leading to relaxation and stress reduction" [1]

SITTING IN THE POWER VS OTHER MEDITATION PRACTICES

Whilst both practices are in the realms of Spiritualism, there is, nonetheless, immense confusion between the focus and techniques that are used for sitting in the power and the elements involved in the general wide-ranging practice of meditation. So to that end, I have decided to introduce a new term that you may like to use, this is called: POWERING UP MEDITATION

I feel that Powering Up Meditation is a more concise definition as it involves actively powering up (and raising our vibration). - "This specific practice [is used by mediums and others] to connect with the spiritual realm and develop their psychic abilities. And while all types of meditation involve stillness and focus... Powering Up Meditation is a more targeted technique for spiritual development" [1]. 

One of the purposes of Powering Up Meditation (sitting in the power), is to "understand our own power and energy, thereby finding methods and techniques that work for us as an individual" [2]. Once we achieve this, we can use this power to be more receptive to what spirit are trying to tell and show us, and as such, we can become more tuned in, and thus better mediums.

Sitting in the Power involves sitting in a peaceful space where we can:

• Put our materialist thoughts to one side, and
• Raise our vibration to a superconscious level, and thus get closer to the higher vibration of spirit, by
• Feeling our own energy (as it flows at each moment in time). And then, once we have connected with our inner-self and bolstered our own energy, we will be in a position to optimise our spiritual energy and work with spirit [1]. We can help to generate this scenario by
• Imagining our inner light shining from our solar plexus and then expanding (like a bursting star) thus radiating every part of our physical body and our aura. After which,
• We should visualize drawing energy in the form of a white/golden light from the universe - and as this light surrounds us, we should imagine it permeating and blending with both our aura and physical being. So to that end, this scenario makes us one with all that is

In essence: "as we connect with our own inner light, we allow it to blend and merge with the light outside of us, forming a connection to the other realms" [1]. 

IN A NUTSHELL

Passive Meditation (which is also referred to as inactive or non-directive meditation), entails the participant either sitting or lying down in a quiet spot where they allow their thoughts to effortlessly enter and leave their mind without judgment. The focus of passive meditation is to empower the participant to relax their nervous system, and become still and relaxed. This process should help the exponent boost their self-awareness, improve their emotional health, help them contend with anxiety and stress, and more.

This aforementioned form of meditation is in stark contrast to sitting in the power (powering up meditation). During the latter, the participant focuses on their own inner spiritual light to raise their vibration. - This forms a bridge which activates a connection and oneness with a higher form of energy (higher consciousness, source/the universe, the spirit world, and other light beings). So in a nutshell, this process  facilitates a specific task, such as linking up to a specific spirit guide for the purpose of receiving guidance.

Note: if you would like to take a deeper dive into this phenomena, then may I suggest you read Biba Logan's first-class  blog. (Biba is a Certified Level 2 Practitioner in Dolores Cannon’s Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique, and a Certified Beyond Quantum Healing Practitioner).

REACHING OUR OBJECTIVES

In order to attain the objectives of sitting in the power, a great deal of practice is usually necessary. For example, in the beginning, setting aside a certain amount of time each day is far more likely to bring rewards, as opposed to just practicing once or twice a week. Jason Goldsworthy refers to dedicating himself to daily sessions for an entire year, after which he was delighted with the results which were outstanding. Moreover, the internationally revered Spiritualist, Gordon Higginson (who has in the past, connected with me from Spirit), was a strong advocate of putting this high level of commitment into it. So if we follow this pathway, over time, we should be able to:

• Still our mind 
• Rev up our spiritual ability and successfully link up and blend with our spirit guides and other spirit people/entities
• Improve our chi (energy flow) and thus feel more uplifted and vibrant, and
• Restore and recharge our inner batteries for greater well-being
• Bring about self- healing
• Empower our confidence [1]

"People will also be able to build the power within themselves to help them work in day-to-day life.  [Moreover], experienced practitioners will be able to build their power quickly and become aware of how their power builds" [2]
