POWERING UP MEDITATION - WHAT IS SITTING IN THE POWER & HOW CAN I REV UP MY SPIRITUAL VOLUME? GUIDENCE VIDEOS BY JASON GOLDSWORTHY

Everything comes from within, and as my brilliant Spirit Guide, Alan Watts, said: 

"What you are basically, deep, deep down, far, far in, is simply the fabric and structure of existence itself"

Sitting in the Power should be thought of as an attunement practice. - That is to say, a type foundational technique which allows us to expand our awareness and build and strengthen our spiritual light, energy and vibration (the latter of which can empower us to get closer to the higher vibration of the spirit world).  - This scenario provides an energetic bridge between us and our spirit guides. - An overpass that can deepen and strengthen our relationship. 

This spiritual practice moves us away from the material world and allows us to get into sync with our consciousness. - And it is from here that we can really open up our awareness, step into our power, and merge with higher forms of energy. - In essence, it enables us to sit with those from the spirit world and/or other dimensions.

Sitting in the power involves sitting in a warm comfortable environment, grounding ourselves, and then "connecting to the light within [our soul energy] - and then 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]. It "focuses on exploring our inner energy field, connecting to our divine nature, and building our power. It is a spiritual practice of self-exploration and expansion. It’s an essential part of any psychic or medium’s spiritual development, and has a huge impact on their work. By regularly sitting in the power, we can learn how to move our awareness into the spiritual realm and surrender to the experience" [2].

ACTIVE (DYNAMIC) VS PASSIVE MEDIATATION

• Active (Dynamic) Meditation/Sitting in the Power involves the purposeful engagement (or movement) of our entire mind and body. This comprises: grounding ourselves, setting an intention, and having a specific focus, or walking or chanting. (The latter describes the rhythmic signing or recitation of a sacred mantra - both of which generate a vibration)

• Passive Meditation involves achieving a quiet still focus by centering on: the breath, a single object, or a mantra (a particular sound, word or phrase which is repeated either silently, or aloud). Generally speaking, "passive meditation involves focusing the mind to train attention and awareness, often leading to relaxation and stress reduction" [1]

UNDERSTANDING MANTRAS

Mantras are regarded as 'tools of thought' that are used as a means of harnessing and focusing the mind" [3].The term mantra is "derived from two Sanskrit roots: manas meaning 'mind' and tra meaning 'tool'" [3]. A mantra can comprise a single seed syllable such as "OM" or a longer phrase. It is believed to carry symbolic meaning and specific energetic properties - and as such, enables the practitioner to achieve a higher state of consciousness.  

SITTING IN THE POWER VS  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 meditation practice. 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 than Sitting in the Power. This is because this dynamic process 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 (stepping into our power) is to "understand our own power and energy, and thus find methods and techniques that work for us as an individual" [4]. Once we achieve this, we can use this power to be more receptive to what spirit [and other entities] are trying to tell and show us, and as such, we can become better mediums.

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

• Ground ourselves by sitting  in a warm, comfortable environment with a straight elongated spine, keeping our feet flat on the ground, and envisaging two long crystaline roots (one for each foot), with one end attached the soles of our feet, and the other end extending down to middle earth
• Activate our chi (the traditional Chinese construct of an unseen energy/vital life force/prana which permeates through all living things, our universe, and all that is)
• Put our materialist thoughts and daily stresses to one side, and work on a love vibration to
• Raise our vibration to a super-conscious level, and thus get closer to the higher vibration of spirit/other good entities. We can
• Imagine the vast depths, colours and formations of the glorious planets, stars and nebulae of the infinite multiverse
• Smile to ourselves (this rockets up our mood-enhancing hormones while simultaneously reduce adrenaline, cortisol and other stress-enhancing hormones)  
• Feel gratitude (this actively rewires our brain and moves our focus away from stressors and negative thoughts). Over time, this will rev up our mood, and boost our mental and physical mental health
• Be in the hear and now devoid of any thoughts of the past or future
• Feel our own energy (as it flows at each moment in time). And then, once we have connected with our inner-self and the spark of divinity within us, we ignite our spiritual power [1]. We now:
• Imagine our bright inner light shining from our solar plexus or heart chakra, and then expanding (like a bursting star) - that gets larger and large as it radiates out to every part of our physical body and aura. After this we should:
• Open our awareness towards the heavens, and visualize drawing in cosmic/divine energy in the form of white/golden light from the universe/source. - And as this light surrounds us, we should imagine it permeating and blending with both our aura and physical being, thus making us one with all that is. In effect: "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]  

Of note: Although the aforementioned steps are fairly easy to understand, Powering Up Meditation will take time (and, like so many other things, is different for all of us - so we can discover our own pathway). - The best course of action is to be patient, and just go with the flow.  And remember, the more we try to push it, the more we block ourselves. - So just enjoy the wonderful uplifting feeling, without giving yourself any expectations. - I myself was probably at the very back of the success queue when I first started working on it - but ultimately, because I didn't force it, everything unfolded. - As the same can happen for you... 

IN A NUTSHELL

Passive Meditation (also known as inactive or non-directive meditation) involves the participant sitting or lying down in a quiet spot where they allow their thoughts to flow in and out of their mind without judgment and without dancing (getting involved) with them. 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, quell anxiety and stress, and more.

This is in stark contrast to the dynamic sitting in the power (Powering Up Meditation), which revs up our spiritual volume. During this practice, the participant focuses on their own inner spiritual light and essence 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 quintessentially, this process facilitates a specific task, such as connecting with a specific spirit guide, star being, angel, ascended master, or higher benevolent energy, for the purpose of receiving guidance.

REACHING OUR OBJECTIVES

 "Nature never rushes, yet everything unfolds in its own time"

Lao Tzu 

Generally speaking, a great deal of practice is needed to master Powering up Meditation. - So just go with the flow, and do not let your expectations block you (something I did myself for quite some time).  Be at peace; only do it when you are feeling relaxed and at ease with a still mind, and allow the process to take the time it needs. And remember that we are all unique, and that things around us are constantly changing...

By putting aside a certain amount of time (say 15 or 20 minutes) each day, in the same place, is far more likely to bring rewards, as opposed to just doing a session once or twice a week. Jason Goldsworthy refers to dedicating himself to daily (sitting in active energy) sessions for an entire year, after which he was delighted with the results, that were outstanding. Moreover, the internationally revered Spiritualist the great , 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 you follow this pathway, over time, you should be able to:

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