Help with meditation

I have had intense pressure on my forehead, i just do not know the answer as to why. I did a quick search on this i am not sure it is exactly what you are feeling, it has helped me to understand some things, maybe it will help shed some light on your experiences as well.

One of the most important aspects to consider in a meditation is the ambience, we need the Four Elements to surround us and protect us, we need them to help us connect ourselves with our inner being, our true self, out essence, they are our guides and brothers... I read all this wonderful information in the book "Wisdom of the Heart" by Flora Rocha, a must have if you are in the spiritual path, amazing thoughts and experiences, it made me look at things from a whole different perspective...

Thank you for your share and this beautiful space...

Glad you are enjoying yourself here elfwisdom, is there a special ritual or prayer to surround and protect us with the four elements?

do we just ask for them to protect us?

Many Blessings

There are many things that we can do when we are surrounded with the four elements, one of them is meditation, and yes, we only have to ask, actually, as Flora Rocha says in her book "Wisdom of the Heart", which I profoundly recommend to all, she says that the elements are alive and feel exactly like us, therefore they are only waiting to communicate with us, to have a comunion and activate the energies between us, actually we activate the four elements that live within our body and connect them with the external four elements that we put around us, this is how you begin the protection or whatever may be the purpose of your meditation... I hope I can hear more opinions from everyone about this fascinating theme... well in case someone is interested in more topics I will be opening topics to let you guys view my blog, I do not put the link here because I do not know if it is allowed, but in the spiritual section of forums I will open a new discusion... thanx

Thank You so much elfwisdom this is very interesting and i would like to try this tonight, as of late i have slacked on my meditation the reason i state these things in my posts is to let people know that being diligent in their practices is important. I will start tonight with this practice, also feel free to post any links you feel need to be posted, we can all learn a lot and hope to read some of your blogs soon.

Many Blessings

Good luck and good times with your meditation...

So I can’t get anything out of that. And when I try to meditate lying down I want to go to sleep and have to quit. So I am wondering if there different kind of meditation that will work for me?. I would really appreciate it.

Thank you

Peace and Love :myheart:

A lot of folks have trouble meditating, if one does, my suggestion would be to take a class in beginning meditation from one of your local Hatha Yoga teachers. They are trained to help folks get started with meditation. After taking the class you will have a good foundation with how to meditate and can then with that knowledge decide where you would like to go from there. When I decided to be serious about meditation I started with staring into a candle flame for three to four hours a day to learn how to focus my mind. I did this for three years. The best candle is a vegetable oil candle with a floating wick using a brandy snifter to hold the oil and wick. One gets a strong steady flame from that kind of system.
