Meditation - Away from the vagaries of life

According to Maria Duval, to achieve the required physical and psychic effects, your meditation session should last for at least 10 to 15 minutes, at the minimum, 5 minutes.

This is the amount of time you should set aside each day, to meditate, if you are not very used to staying still. But you will soon develop at taste for it, when you start enjoying the amazing benefits that these fews minutes can bring. You can then extend the session up to 25 or 30 minutes per day.

Find a really quiet place with least chances of being disturbed. Settle yourself in a comfortable chair or on a mat.

Sitting position is the best, because the aim of the exercise is not to become so relaxed as to go to sleep, but rather to achieve a state conducive to inspiration, illumination and intuition. It is important that you keep your back straight, but not too taut. Your feet ought to be steady on the ground. The best is that you can play some soothing and complementing meditation guide in the background.

There is no fixed definite time for meditation. Any time is a good time when you are used to it. With practice, you can bring yourself into a meditative state in a flash of your eye, at any time.

At this level, nothing 'outside' can have any effect on your anymore, because you have learned to 'escape' from vagaries of life, just through the simple power of your mind!

Maria Duval on Meditation

By controlling and observing your breathing, you will soon achieve a good state of physical relaxation. But your head will, in all likelihood, still be bothered by a mental discourse with an intermingling of words, thoughts and images, all snatching for the owner's keen focus.

Forbid your attention to be drawn to any of these words, thoughts or images by trying to 'clear' your mind. Maria Duval's suggestion to help you achieve this state of mind is that you focus your mind on one specific thing, a thing that is preferably pleasant of course, while disappearing everything else around this thing.

Meditation relaxes the body and the mind, relieving the stress or tension, soothing your nerves and permitting you to overcome your bad negative emotional attachments like fear, sadness, hatred, bitterness or anger.

Maria Duval says that by keeping your mind on something nice and calming, you will be freed immediately of any feelings of guilt, insecurity, or powerlessness.

Concentration on a symbol, a color, an object, the candle flame, an image or maybe an interesting question or pick something that best suits your state of mind that moment. The main aim is to achieve a state of mind where space and time just never already exist. This is what spiritualists called 'altered state of consciousness'.

Maria Duval - Rainbow Meditation

This is a very complete visualisation session from Maria Duval that can profoundly purify, invigorates and ʻrechargesʼ your Aura with the colours it is lacking. First follow steps 1 to 3 of ʻThe Tree of Fruits of Lightʼ.

– Once you are receptive, calm and relaxed, visualise the colours of a rainbow, starting with the colour red. Imagine a little red glimmer that grows and grows, to finally burst into a ball of sparkling light. Then say to yourself: “Through the colour red, I am charging every cell with energy and vigour. I am well-anchored in my life, which I organise with imagination and love”. Imagine yourself bathed in a beautiful red light then internalise it with the help of a deep intake of breath.

This development will take a minute or two, at the most, but time is not the important thing, itʼs the image that counts; the longer you manage to hold the image, the stronger the impact of your visualisation and the more effective the exercise. Do this willingly and without forcing things, as if it were a ʻgameʼ. It is in fact a game with the primordial forces of the cosmos, with the laws of Attraction.

– Then allow a ball of orange light to appear on your mental screen, saying to yourself, in your head: “Through the colour orange, I am mastering my emotions and guiding my desires. By being in harmony with my environment I have new potential for change every day”. Imagine yourself bathed in a sparkling orange light, then ʻabsorbʼ it by breathing in.

– Then allow a ball of golden-yellow light appear on your mental screen, while saying to yourself, in your head: “Through the colour yellow, I am becoming aware of my thoughts and turning them in the right direction. I express my ideas fully and I show good judgement”. Imagine yourself bathed in a brilliant yellow light, then internalise it with an intake of breath.

– Do the same with the colour green, saying to yourself: “Through the colour green, peace fills every cell in my body and radiates outwards to those around me. I am finding the source of Love within me and am aware that I am the creator of my life”. Imagine yourself bathing in a splendid emerald green light, then breath in to internalise it into your being.

– Visualise a ball of sparkling turquoise light on the inner screen of your third eye (brow chakra) while saying to yourself, in your mind: “Thanks to the colour turquoise, I feel filled with love and radiate that love around me constantly. My words are pure, I am open to others, I express myself clearly and directly”. Imagine yourself in a crystalline blue sea, then breathe in this inspiring light, to incorporate it deep within you.

– On your mental screen, visualise a ball of shimmering, indigo light, while saying to yourself, in your head: “The colour indigo gives me an intense desire to know myself, to commune with my inner being”. Imagine yourself bathed in a beautiful indigo light, then as you breathe in, assimilate this revitalising light.

– Allow a magnificent ball of luminous violet light appear on your mental screen while saying to yourself: “The colour violet gives me access to all the treasures of my inner being and allows me to express my intuitive, inspired and creative potential”. Now feel the magic of this violet light envelope you. Then imagine yourself breathing it in through the root chakra, located at the base of your spine, and breathing it out through the crown chakra. See this breath be transformed into pure, crystalline water,and visualise a flower on this water, with ever more numerous petals that slowly take on the colours of the rainbow. Place yourself in the middle of this flower.

– These iridescent colours you are bathing in, from head to toe, now fade into a beautiful white light, pure and invigorating energy. Feel how all the layers of your bodies are revitalised by this restorative energy that unites all the colours. Feel how the aura around you is ʻpurifiedʼ and is now more luminous and recharged in vital energy of a supreme quality. Enjoy this moment to the full.

– Thank the creator universe for this holy ʻBath of Youthʼ and Maria Duval.

Taking control of your Emotions

Emotions are the driving force behind our success and progression, otherwise we will be like lifeless souls roaming on this world. However, it must be said that just like thoughts, emotions must be contained properly and channelled as emotions that go out of control could lead to events that are disastrous, like the tragic incident that happened in a German school yesterday, and many innocent people were killed. That happened because the young men had let his emotion went over his head and he spent his youthful energy on being hateful and negative rather than seeing the brighter side of life.

Maria Duval thinks that people who master their emotions do have a more powerful personality, more defined ideas and decision decisions. These people are true goal achievers and succeed in tasks they take.

Emotions I think are amazing. Something which is really beyond words can describe. It can lead you to positive or negative actions that can transform your life. Maria Duval advices on hand that if one can focus one's emotions with the powers of the mind, and set the focus sharply on an objective like a ray of sunlight under magnifying glass, the objective will be drawn to you just like iron is attracted to a bar of iron.

Do not ever let any obstacles stop this natural function of your being but instead try to harness it so that it can be utilised to assist you to drive quicker forwards to the finishing line you aim at.

There is a great method for you to control your emotions and that is the highly recommended meditation. Meditation enables you to process your emotions or to align them in a way that suits your objective.

Yes, Maria Duval says try to make use of music as an emotional stimulant because music has the intensity, verve, and subtlety to rouse, sooth or bring out your inner creative potential. Just be known to choose the right kind of music for the awakening of your creative forces.

Reduce stress through Meditation

One of the best ways to overcome your daily living stress is meditation. Basically, it quietens your mind and improves your spiritual link to your inner soul.

Do you think stress is directed connected to the state of your health? I think the answer is very obvious as repeated medical researches have shown that stress has many negative effects in your health if it were kept uncontrolled.

When I talk to people that I meditate to reduce my stress, a common response is that "Ah, that's really a long process which I cannot endure", or "I thought only monks do that?"

These are just myths. Meditation does not require you to spend one hour everyday. Sometimes as short as just three to five minutes is sufficiently beneficial. Maria Duval adds that a twenty minutes of meditation daily can be as good as having a good night of sleep..So meditation is particularly good for those who suffer from insomnia or sleep disorders.

Maria Duval says there are many ways to meditate. It does not have to be sitting still in a quiet room. For example, when you are cleaning or doing the dishes, practice taking deep slow breathes and quieting your mind. Just practice being in the present moment and clearing all thoughts from your mind.

Sometimes, it can be as simple as taking a nice stroll in a scenic lake side park or at a relaxing beach. The main purpose is to calm down your mind, being in the moment and being gratitude for your existence in this beautiful planet. Then of course, there is the standard form of meditation in which you sit on the floor, or on a cushion or a mat and cross your legs...

As you practice more, the longer you will be able to meditate. A great intention for yourself, is to build up to at least twenty minutes of meditation. When you are meditating, you can have very relaxing music on or have complete silence. Sometimes music will help someone relax more, for others they find it distracting. Try both and see what works best for you.

So what shall you meditate on?

Again, Maria Duval teaches it could be on manifesting on something that you desire, or you can just focus on inner silence, or a combination of both. The inner silence is very important as it reduces stress in our lives and to completely silence our mind completely. In the end, we feel with are intimately connected to the Higher Being and spiritually we become a better person.

In conclusion, meditation transcends all forms of religions and is a proven spiritual way to manage stress through slowing down your pace and quieten your mind. You will be amazed at how well you will feel after that short meditation!

Benefits Of Doing Yoga To Improve Your Meditation

It sometimes sounds confusing that Yoga can benefit you in meditation, as meditation is only a part of Yoga. However, in modern scenario, Yoga-Asanas are often referred to as Yoga in short and people often mean postures when they say that they are practicing Yoga for meditation. The basic benefit of Yoga-Asanas is to keep your body fit for the requirements of meditation. If you are not feeling well physically, you will find it hard to relax your mind and attaining the bliss that comes naturally with meditation. Body should work with the mind so that one can reach up to the level of soul, where the extreme bliss rests.

Yoga meditation, or Meditation supplemented with Yoga-Asanas, is beneficial in making a firm foundation and keeping you intact along the path. Though one can run bare-footed, but sometimes one feels that the regularity can't be maintained. Shoes helps in providing that regularity. Yoga meditation is like that: one wears the shoes of Yoga-Asanas and can meditate effectively and regularly. We would also refer to this thing as Yoga here, and we will try to find out the benefits that one experiences from Yoga meditation.

1. Flexibility

It is obvious that you are involved in continuous sitting for longer durations as you move with your practice of meditation. However, sometimes the body becomes very stiff and hinders your progress and regularity. Yoga meditation comes handy here, and can serve the purpose quite well. It gives your body the much needed flexibility to sustain the needs of meditation for long periods.

Sometimes your vocation involves much physical work and you find it very hard to keep your body in optimal condition for meditation. Yoga meditation has almost proven benefits for such kind of situation, and once you do it, you will also realize the advantages that you gain.

2. Energy

It is quite obvious that all types of exercises impart energy to your body, and Yoga meditation is no exception. When you spend time for Yoga and do the meditation thereafter, you feel energized to the extent that you will be able to keep your body in erect position, which is extremely important for meditation. Whether you sit for 10 minutes or for 1 hour, you will feel that your physical being is supporting the needs of your mental and spiritual beings.

3. Relaxation and Calmness

Yoga meditation helps in getting deeper control on your mind, as you are able to feel your body quite easily. The muscles and joints are not causing any problem that can distract your mind. Yoga meditation helps in gaining body calmness that ultimately leads to mental calm. One can feel the body in a better way and can relax well, thus, initializing the founding steps of meditation.

It goes without saying that if you are practicing meditation; you need to supplement it with Yoga. Yoga meditation can bring the results early and make them lasting. Yoga meditation will make you feel better physically, mentally, and spiritually, of course.

My meditation experience

Today I wish to write something about my experience with meditation that I had learned from Maria Duval over the last few months. It is an enriching process.

Nowadays whenever I start to meditate, I always have this question why it passes by so fast. Yes I have actually grown to enjoy it. Meditation can be said to be the best tool for me to relax and destress after a long day at office. It is really relaxing and it is a true holistic experience to go through.

Not just relaxing, I find that meditation aids me in being more creative too. I feel I had some unique and subtle vision that bothers on pure creativity. If only I can put that into an art form, that will be perfect. During this intimate moment with very quiet inward-looking state, everything feels like in tandem with the nature and myself.

There is no standard way to meditate. Maria Duval says that meditation is an extension of the natural state that we have gone through when we were very young. Sadly, most of us lost this ability as we go through formal education.

So I would greatly encourage all of us to put 10 to 15 mins a day to quieten down and listen to our inner most voice while connecting our soul to the universe through meditation.

Prosperous with our inner guide and meditation

Clairvoyant Maria Duval trusts that you with your Inner Being to guide you in life, you will no longer have to lead a life like a blundering soul knocking aimlessly at the doors of the house of ignorant shadows. You can live a life of purpose and clarity with full confidence in the knowledge that this is a meaningful life. Your friends around you will look at your life a bright guiding light and take yours as an example for their life.

To do that, you need to hold the keys which open the doors to the paradise that is within you as what Maria Duval says. So do not wait anymore, come and look for the keys that are within you. It is totally up to you as a person to claim the immense prosperity the Divine is planning for you.

Psychic Maria Duval also suggests twenty minutes of meditation each day as meditation is very beneficial to our personal evolution and to your success in life than all the physical energies we have in our entire existence.

Meditation is more than a way to calm down and relax. Maria Duval teaches that since the dawn of time of the spiritual age, it has been established by the experiences of those who have meditated that meditation brings us closer to our inner self and elevate our souls higher to the divine plane.

True healing and meditation

True meditation, just like true healing, is way beyond actions, beyond the body and its attachment and desires. It is also beyond the material world and it is no longer dependent on a psyche.

If you learn and apply what psychic Maria Duval has taught and explained based on the spiritual wisdoms passed down from ancient civilisations, you will quickly realise that your ego is nothing more than your identification which is just passing memories.

Do allow your thoughts to come and go without being attached to them, without wanting to change them. Allow your thoughts to free themselves during your meditation and you will achieve the ultimate goal that will make you happy and free.

Reconnecting yourself

Through consistent meditations, you can reconnect yourself with you true nature and the divine in you. Meditate everyday, but don't feel being forced by it, because, you will lose the benefit of it if you feel that way. It is only through the intelligence of the heart and abandon that you will be able to achieve it.

Psychic Maria Duval adds you will be in the right path when there is a sense of inner peace within you as well as experiencing a feeling of joy and happiness.

Importantly, never forget that you are not practising to obtain anything in the future and that everything is given to you in the present, the here and now of any moment. When you are fully present, you are in the divine dimension; then, it is just a case of practice to make that state permanent.

End your day with Meditation

Psychic Maria Duval says that meditation is a great way to concentrate your mind and to improve your intuition with the potential to bring you to the higher spiritual level. Meditation is an excellent way in which you can connect with your Inner Soul and to know yourself better in a spiritual term.

Meditation should be done at the end of the way and the best time to meditate is of course before you go to bed.

Begin by sitting down in a comfortable chair or you may lying down on your bed, but do not fall asleep. It takes just about 10 to 15 minutes daily.

Once you have settled down, close our eyes and reflect at the events that have gone through over the day.

Clear images of what happen during the day will float into your mind like a video player playing a series of clips. Take special note of the words and actions you have done that day, and feel their meanings to you and to those around you.

Ask, are you happy with your day and what you have done?

Or are there any way that you may have improved yourself or for others today?

Importantly, reflect on what you have learned from today, and what lessons have you drawn from it?

All of this time, allow your heart and your intuition to speak and you will gradually get into the groove of the meditation.

I would like to end this post with this. Maria Duval says your heart and your intuition are the doorway through which you can touch the Divine, and also the means which it will communicate with you.

Meditation

All the meditation methods of the world involve learning to let go of your thoughts so that you can cultivate a state 'empty' of mental scattering, and free of 'rather invisible undercurrent' scenarios of mental interpretation and clinging.

If you meditate correctly, your mind will start to become clearer. Initially it becomes clearer without you noticing it, then one day you notice it, and then with further progress you actually think you are retrogressing because you're finally unleashing your vital energies which travel up to your brain and create all sorts of random thoughts and secondly, you finally start to notice all those thoughts for the first time with REAL clarity.

We should meditate regularly

If you practice meditation regularly, then you are probably aware of its benefits to your spiritual well-being. Mediation can help people stay calm, focused and relaxed. Relaxation is one of the most outstanding and well known benefits of meditation. It has been proven through studies that health problems are often a result of stress and anxiety. An individual can relieve his or her body from stress and anxiety through regular practice of meditation.

Meditative practices can also help people cope with their distress when they are experiencing great periods of stress. The negative effects of life changing episodes like the loss of a loved one or a divorce can be reduced through meditation. There is also evidence suggesting that meditative practices can slow a person's heart rate while increasing blood flow. A person can bring his blood pressure rate back to normal with repeated practice of meditation.

Maria Duval: our precious gift

Maria Duval says we're surrounded by noise, traffic and multiple modes of communication. Therefore it is almost not possible to hear our spirit in the middle of all that noise. We are losing our precious gift which is spirituality. This is an unique gift God has given to human beings.

It is very important to have some silence in your life! Maria Duval advises you spending some silence to connect with your heart, and to be in touch with love and truth at its deepest level. Taking time out every day for a period of quietness will be a source of strength and comfort to you, and will give you space to sit in peace.

I have talked about this many times in this blog. That is meditation. I can't stress the importance of it if you are into spirituality. Maria Duval has said meditation can mean listening the in and out of breathing. It can simply mean sitting quietly, stilling your mind to the outside world, and taking the time for deep reflection.

Through meditation opens up a channel to the vibration of truth. It allows us the chance to hear our heart beat, to feel our blood flow and our gentle breathing. It reminds us that we are fragile beings who can be snuffed out like a tiny light and that we are not immortal - we are blood and bone and we are born to die. Maria Duval has said it many times and I've learning something new all the time when I meditate.

Remember, don't lose your precious gift.

Meditation over next 7 days

Here is a meditation exercise challenged by Maria Duval to me.

Over the next 7 days, I shall refuse to entertain any negative thought, feeling, emotion, image or data.

If for any reason I find that I am in the middle of a negative act, I shall remind myself that my thoughts, feelings and images will sooner or later be translated in actions. Every time I find myself having a negative thought, please relax. Then allow it to dissolve and bring your attention for a few seconds to a happy event or even to the positive outcome of my negative thought or state.

Find a positive solution for myself in every negative thought as told by Maria Duval.

Well, it's inevitable some negatives thoughts will outflank my positive mind as we are all humans. If that happens, Maria Duval says there is no need to feel guilty, don't reproach myself but instead consider the situation with compassion, be kind and indulgent with myself and most importantly, give myself enough time to transform the mindset. the 7 day is a personal goal set by Maria Duval to me and I will certainly do it my best.

If there is a need, continue this meditation process for as long as necessary and until the day is filled with sweet positive thoughts. This is what Maria Duval is looking for in me.

Best time for meditation

Valentine's Day is once again around the corner! Love is in the air!

I would like to share my knowledge about meditation today. Some of the knowledge I learn from my life mentor, Maria Duval. To make progress in a skill you picking up, it is important that you recur its usage often. This application is the same for meditation process as well. To improve on your meditation, I would suggest to those who want to develop their spirituality to meditate at least once a day because recurrence is important for increasing your meditative capacity.

The most common excuse is, of course, people tend to neglect by claiming their schedules are tight and they hardly have time to meditate. What I see is that, if you find value in what you like, you will find time to do it no matter how busy you are just like, you also need to find time to eat or to sleep. There is also a need to feed our souls through meditation. It's like a quiet time between us and our spirits. Maria Duval will be ecstatic to know her fervent supporter here.

If you like to meditate, the best time to do it is early in the morning around 5am to 6am which I find is the best time because that is the time when the daily activities have not really picked up and it's a great time to self reflect amidst the peaceful and quiet surroundings thus leading to a more conducive meditation process.

I always aim to meditate during this time however, to be honest, sometimes I can't get up at these hours therefore, I have to substitute it during night times when the activities have quietened down again. If possible I also include a short session in the afternoon in my working office during lunch hours. After that, I will read some guides from Maria Duval.

Maria Duval - Benefits of meditation

Hi, good to be back, I had a wonderful day at office as I managed to resolve a difficult case after few days of meetings and negotiations. It's tiring but nice to see the back of it. Back to home after a long day and I continue to update some information for this blog because it seems to be part of my daily schedule now. Maria Duval would be happy to have me as her supporter.

Yesterday i mentioned a bit about meditation and I think today I will delve more into it.

As you know, if you meditate regularly, you will surely know about its benefits to the spiritual system of your body because it can really help to make you feel calm, focused and relaxed. Meditation has also been proved to be helpful in relieving the stress and anxiety of the body thus reducing the chances of getting chronic diseases. In short, I think Maria Duval has mentioned something about meditation that allows you to maintain chemical balances that help regulate the nervous system and reduce stress.
