A NEW, BETTER WAY TO MEDITATE By Dr. Bernarr, D.C., D.D. Joest Stefan posted on this list his experiences with meditation. I have personally studied for many years, almost every well known method of meditation. I have improved on the known methods of meditation and I have evolved the most successful method of meditation. It always guarantees to give all human beings, optimum results. I have taught this method of meditation to many thousands of people. It is simple, most effective and everyone can learn to do it satisfactorily. Try it and you will prove to yourself that it always works immediately! Meditation is listening to the God within, the inherent intelligence. The God within is always talking to you, not with words, but with communicating with you via "feelings" throughout your body. Prayer is becoming silent, going within, aligning with and acknowledging God as All-in-All. Meditation and prayer are 2 steps with the same ultimate goal, communion with the God within. You are an expression of the image and likeness of the God within. You are whole and perfect. As you are already perfect, all you need do is to commune with the God within, become aware of that perfection and become healed. The purpose of life is the pursuit of happiness. You do so by developing and evolving to become the ultimate beautiful, perfect God whom you really are. You best accomplish such, by every moment of your life, you should be meditating in self-discovery and self-improvement. Never do anything that does not improve you. All living beings in the wild, plants, animal and humans, instinctively are in meditation and communion with the God within. All civilized human beings should relearn that they should constantly have their eyes closed, to be in constant meditation and communion with the God within. They should open their eyes only to take care of and satisfy their immediate necessary biological needs. Civilized men and women unfortunately have improperly learned to be self-destructive because every moment of their lives, they are pursuing unnecessary self-imposed socioeconomic needs. To meditate, you should close your eyes and keep your eyes constantly closed. You should concentrate, feel, focus your thoughts on, pay attention to, be still and simultaneously let go. Let go and let the God within take over. You are but a passenger on the train of life, not the conductor. The God within you always knows what to do. It always has done the right thing. It always does the right thing. It always will do the right thing. It has been doing so, infinitely, as long as the universe has existed. It has already been built into every cell of the living body. It has already been built into the DNA, the genes and the chromosomes. With your eyes closed, you can do all the concentration you want, because with your eyes closed, you are at-one with the very source of your being, the God within. To meditate, place your body in, and keep your body in, a comfortable position. Close your eyes, keep your eyes closed, keep your body inactive, feel and think on whatever disconcerting sensations your body is producing, as intensely as you can. Keep concentrating and keep your mind on your pain, itching, dizziness, fever, hotness, coldness, tremor, convulsion, distress, emotional dysfunction and/or depression, etc., till they completely disappear. The God within is always talking to you. To meditate, feel, concentrate and think on, whatever the God within is telling you, in the form of feeling sensations. Go into every part of your body and penetrate your pain, itching, dizziness, fever, hotness, coldness, tremor, convulsion, distress, emotional dysfunction and/or depression, etc., with your awareness and with your eyes closed. It is the opposite of distraction. You may think that it feels like it is getting worse and that it will last forever. You will learn to realize that those are just irrational thoughts. The idea is to be in the present moment and let go of alarmist future thinking. Just experience it and you will learn to relate differently to pain. If when you close your eyes, you daydream or sleep, i.e., your mind is wandering, then keep daydreaming or sleeping, until your mind becomes still. Whether this takes seconds, minutes, hours or days, daydream or sleep all you need, before you begin your meditating. When your eyes are closed and your mind is still, then you are meditating. You do not need a guru, teacher, guide, mantra or any esoteric ritual, to meditate. You can properly meditate, just by closing your eyes and "feeling" while your mind is still. Meditation is the best method of helping you heal yourself. You just close your eyes and keep your eyes closed, till you have achieved your goal in whatever part of your body, that you so choose. If you have any problems learning to meditate, contact me NOW. I will teach you how to always successfully meditate. Thus, you will always achieve optimum results and will always be a winner, in all fields of endeavor. Dr. Bernarr, D.C., D.D. God Healing, Inc. P.O.
