DESCRIPTION

‘MEDITATION RITUALS’ is a handmade extract from the Samadhi handbook on the subject of supporting our meditative practices with more universal or more traditional ritual practices. As deeper meditation will lead us towards other dimensions of ourselves, the performance of rituals to communicate with those other layers of reality is found in all traditions. Pacifying mind and senses, while subduing our more primitive reptile brain, is where to start. Expressing our love for the inner divine and clarifying our spiritual intentions logically follows. The more magical aspects of rituals finally come into play when we can learn to respect the science of effective communication with the spiritual world. We need to understand the particular power of different kinds of offerings of the five elements as well as the need for respect and transparency in our dealing with spiritual beings. Like attracts like, so if we want to be sure to attract entities with a positive energy, we will have to embody and radiate peace and bliss aplenty. As in the West little ritual tradition remains, we may redevelop our own by understanding the more universal elements of rituals found among other cultures. Some example rituals from the Nepali tradition can be used to find our own way to the inside above.

This booklet is part of a series of small books extracted from “Samadhi – The Deep Meditation Handbook”, a two-volume work with over 600 pages on reaching the deepest states of meditation. Samadhi is the highest of yogic practices, a trance state where body consciousness is entirely lost and a gradual full merging with the Self is gained. It requires daily sustained meditation practice, supported by some major changes to our lifestyle, attitudes and desires. It is nevertheless everyone’s birthright, even when living as a householder yogi.

Quotes


The entirety of the yogic tradition is revealed as originating from the Self, bridging the illusion of a gap between nonduality and other practices.

The practitioners of yoga postures, breath, mantra, or meditation should not be confused about whether all of that is helpful on the spiritual path, or just some distraction produced by the ego.
