Alright, this may freak you out. You can meditate with your most admired mentors throughout history.
Ok, now before you think I’ve gone all bonkers, let me tell you a little story about my experience from many years ago. It’s been a well kept secret of some wise teachers. At first, I thought they were just having fun with me. But it is their way of reaching out to the universal wisdom.
Never Meditate Unguided
Mentor and Teacher in Meditation
Many ‘teachers’ will tell you to simply clear your mind in order to reach a ‘Zen’ like state for the best meditation. That’s true. But my teachers cautioned me never to do so without a purpose. You see, they did let me try to reach this Zen state on my own and meditate.
On the way there, I received mostly ‘noise’. There were garbage thoughts, violence, negative words, confusion, mental arguments, doubt and just about everything the world has to offer. Even a scolding I had from mother so many years ago came to my mind’s ears!
So, I’ll repeat the warnings my teachers gave me: Never meditate unguided.
How to Begin Your Meditation
Begin your meditations with a purpose. In fact, I will go for a nature walk with my teachers well before I meditate.
You see, what we are doing is to let the universal wisdom to give us the great good feeling of what we should meditate about.
We go on our walkabout by beginning with a “suggestion” to the universal wisdom about what we want to achieve. Understand that even in all the collective knowledge of my teachers, they know that they know little in the great scheme of things.
We walk with pleasant thoughts of things or events we have enjoyed. We simply enjoy the pleasantness of the surroundings; the fresh air, the sky, the birds, or simply just being among the good vibes of friends.
One should allow your soul, your mind to be in concordance with the universal energy and trust. Then be aware. A simple feeling or thought or Will comes to mind. That is the answer or instruction which you seek from intention.
Meditate With Your Chosen Mentors
That day I intended to find a group of mentors to confer with. I wanted the benefits of great wisdom. A group four great people whom I have always admired appeared in my mind’s eye. I am so grateful to the universal wisdom for selecting these mentors for me to meditate with.
This little story did not end there. You see, whenever I am in need or want of answers to a perplexing issue or simply to move forward in life, I simply ready myself for the regular meditation and call upon my mentors to converse with me and my intention.
If and when you choose to do this, you will enjoy it. It may be a very silent meditation where thoughts come with feelings of what you must do. At other times, it can become a very lively conversation. But each time, I know I have answers. Sometimes, they simply acknowledge that I am doing the right thing already and they simply make me feel good. This is my perfect MasterMind.
Do not try, just do.
Thanks for the great article. I just finished hosting a meditation challenge and am launching a Meditation Mastermind and was looking on the internet to see if anyone else was doing this. What a neat perspective and I can’t wait to share this with my new group that I am manifesting right now! Blessings on your work~ Julie
