How to Meditate in a Spiritualist Circle.
Psychic Medium Craig Hamilton-Parker talks about meditation techniques and specifically how to meditate for mediumistic development.
The peaceful inner states that you enter during meditation are beneficial to your body, mind and spirit. Time spent in meditation is for you so do not worry unduly that you are not always in communication with your spirit guides or experiencing meaningful visionary extravaganzas. Meditation is a simple process with many powerful benefits. It is your time to be used for your own personal development and give your spirit time to feel recharged.
Most of the time, and particularly when you work alone, you will use meditation for personal spiritual growth. However there are also a number of inner techniques with a particular purpose that can be incorporated into your group meditation. Eastern traditions go much further than our remit here and employ specific meditation techniques to evoke special powers such a bi-location, astral projection, lucid dreaming, awareness of subliminal sound, control of the autonomic nervous system and many other miraculous abilities. The technique you have learned to opening the aura increases your sensitivity and enables you to become attuned to the influences of your spirit guides and loved ones. At the appropriate time, the spirit may draw close to you and give you guidance. They will come when you are ready but please do not anticipate a blinding light on the road to Damascus style experience. The spirit will come gently like a quiet almost imperceptible voice that whispers words of hope across the great silence of your meditation.
At my own circle I now divide the meditation into two sections – a method that you may wish to try sometimes. The first part the meditation is dedicated entirely to oneself. We go into the meditative state and simply enjoy the experience. I then ask my students to return to normal awareness and quickly ask them to return to meditation but now ‘sit for spirit’. During this second stage of our attunement we open our minds to the spirit world and communicate with our guides. Messages may be given to us for others sat in the room and which can be discussed later. If we have a guest present we ask of spirit that the information we are given is specifically for them.
While sitting for spirit the students are permitted to occasionally make short notes in their spiritual diaries. For example they may ‘hear’ the name of a spirit communicator or receive information or imagery. A short note or keyword is put in the notebook to help recall. It is fascinating if more than one person writes down the exactly same information such as a name or an image that is then confirmed to be significant by the guest. These correlations indicate that telepathy and or spirit communication is taking place.
