Meditation

I was just wondering how many of you meditate and what types of meditations do you use (if any) as sith.

Darth Marrick is teaching me a more standard form of Sith meditation, however, I thaught myself how to use Lucid Dreaming to meditate: after initiating a dream while sleeping and concluding that I'm dreaming after a series of questions, I grow aware of the fact that I'm dreaming. After that I just manipulate the dream to create an environment where I can meditate. So in conclusion: I used to be only able to meditate while I'm dreaming. But I would like to know your way to meditate, as I'm trying to find out which form fits me best when I'm awake.

Intresting, my meditations usually focus on my chakras and my internal energy flow

then again aetos, if memory serves you have a background in martial arts. (im not saying this is what happened with you) but its been my experience that people who are into martial arts tend to drift the way of chakra meditation due to the closeness of their respective regional origins(whether a sensei implores it or not). now im not saying anything bad about the chakra meditations, i use different meditation techniques all the time and they are very useful. im just implying my experience in the mix.

and to my apprentice:
Be mindful of the fact there is no one accepted "Sith Meditation" at least not one im aware of yet. the techniques ive taught you are more along the lines of a "Force Meditation" keep in mind that labels are used so that humans can easily recognize things. such as the light and dark sides of the force... they simply do not exist... only the force does. the labels simply serve a purpose
for us to continue to understand it.

My martial art training had little to do with my meditation choice, if anything it came from my yoga and reiki practice that had me start focusing on my chakras

ah i see, hm we learn more everyday..

ha, indeed

My mistake then ,...

dont view it as a failure (mistake) view it more as learning.

Wise words indeed.

i meditate everyday,for at least 20minutes at a time. ive done this steadily for 5 years. ive graduated in meditative art,to the point where i can enter the delta phase of consciousness. in that phase,i have been able to project outward.

my methods are quite simple. i utilize the element of fire.

i sit in a dark room,pitch black,with a black robe on. the black robe has spiritual meaning,for it represents a shroud of shadow around the wearer,that shields you from all meditative disturbances.

i light a single flame in the rooms center,and through my shroud,i gaze upon the flame.

flames,in esoteric circles,are doors and windows to higher plains of consciousness.

i concentrate on the flame,and visualize the doorway within it,and close my eyes still visualizing the doorway.

i then visualize the flame getting closer to me,and closer until it is right up to my face.
(what is realy happening though,is you are ptojecting out of body without realizing it)

at this point,you make the descision whether to enter the flame or not.

upon entering the flame,you will find yourself in a state of unfamiliar territory......take it slow at first. the flame is your way back.



the other method i use is electro connection. visualizing a shadow tunnel,from my mind,to the outside world and universe.

when i first started leaving my body,i started small,just traveling around my area.

as i progressed,i traveled much further.

ive even traveled into the minds of my enemies,and stolen memories of theirs,which changed their moods,or even made them soo stressed out that they couldnt function in public anymore.
